Lucy Hale, Troian Bellisario, Ashley Benson and Shay Mitchell sit and listen during a school assembly in this new still from Pretty Little Liars.

In next week’s episode “I Must Confess,” After being pushed around, threatened and more by “A,” Emily (Mitchell) is at a breaking point and her friends know that something drastic has to be done to save her. The girls turn to the only person they have come to trust and know that she can’t let their secrets out – Dr. Anne Sullivan (Annabeth Gish).

Finally being able to reveal the torment that “A” has put them through to someone outside of the tight-knit group gives the girls a sense of relief and Emily a new sense of courage. But with the cat being out of the bag, has a weight really been lifted off their shoulders, or could it possibly have just provoked a beast?

“I Must Confess” premieres Tuesday, August 23rd @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC Family. 15+ pics inside…
