Pretty Little Liars: Summer School managed to undo one of the least liked storylines found in Season 1 by retconning it.

Season 2 of the Pretty Little Liars spin-off series — titled Summer School — wasted no time undoing one of the most disliked plot points from Season 1: the couple who adopt Imogen Adams’ baby.

Season 1, or Original Sin, saw Imogen grappling with being pregnant due to an assault and struggling to figure out what to do with her baby. She ultimately settles on having the baby adopted, but viewers were enraged when it was revealed the baby would be given to original series member Aria Montgomery and her high school teacher-turned-husband Ezra Fitz.

But, according to Nerdinitiative, Summer School completely undid that plot line by ihaving Imogen reveal that her baby is currently living with two dads instead of Aria and Ezra.

A lot of Original Sin fans were very disappointed by the show’s decision to give Imogen’s baby to the couple, with one fan writing, “I hate that PLL Original Sin ended with Imogen giving her baby to Aria and Ezra cause Ezra needs to be in JAIL.”

Though they were a fan-favorite couple when the original Pretty Little Liars series was on the air, many fans have soured on Aria and Ezra’s relationship as they started dating when she was 16 years old and he was her high school English teacher.

Summer School may have seen the backlash the adoption announcement received and decided to backtrack, which is probably for the best as Ezra is technically a criminal by real-world standards.

Pretty Little Liars: Summer School premieres on May 9 through Max. In the meantime, check out all the other amazing TV shows streaming this month.
