Within the remaining moments of the finale, Imogen revealed that her child was being adopted by Aria and Ezra from the unique Fairly Little Liars.

HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Bailee Madison about Imogen’s journey ahead after coming to phrases together with her mom’s loss of life. She additionally revealed whether or not or not Imogen received the closure she wanted after confronting Chip. As for whether or not or not Aria and Ezra will present up in a possible season 2, Bailee isn’t ruling it out. Learn our Q&A beneath:
Imogen has needed to grapple with not solely the loss of life of her mom and being pregnant however discovering that her mom made some fairly horrible errors up to now. How do you're feeling about the place Imogen is at emotionally with accepting her mom’s loss of life and accepting every part that’s occurred by the top of the season?
Bailee Madison: I believe for the primary time, she’s given the chance to heal. I believe her mother with what she did was so abrupt and so painful, and I believe she felt actually discarded with out figuring out any of the data, particularly with every part that she was going via. I believe as a lot as the reality can harm, Imogen is an enormous fan of the reality and honesty and revealing the reality behind one thing. I believe now that she has this data, as painful and heartbreaking as it's, I believe she’s in a position to reconcile with the truth that who her mother was again then will not be the form of particular person she goes to be. She’s not going to be that younger lady in class and make the choices that she made, however that doesn’t imply that she has to discard the love that her mother gave her. Sure, she was troubled. And sure, she had numerous ache. However I believe Imogen is aware of she’s not going to observe together with that and deserves higher. I believe it’s thrilling to take a look at what therapeutic and peace would possibly really feel like now that she has these solutions. As heartbreaking as it's, I believe it’s precisely what she wants to maneuver ahead.
On prime of the mother state of affairs, Imogen additionally needed to take care of the truth that Chip raped her and her finest good friend. Do you assume Imogen received that closure that she wanted by confronting Chip with Tabby? I felt like that was a second for each of them.
Bailee Madison: Yeah, it was a second for each of them. That scene was such an necessary and closely spoken about scene. As a result of these two ladies, regardless that their guts are telling them that that is the reality, they don’t have any affirmation. They’re strolling in there and confronting somebody that of their intestine they really feel as if violated them and took away a lot from them and took their innocence after which performed with it afterward. It was actually fascinating as a result of I believe Tabby knew that if it was a sure from him that he did that to Imogen that might be breaking Imogen’s coronary heart. Imogen knew that if it was a sure for Tabby, that’s her finest good friend’s coronary heart breaking proper there. They needed to stand there with this poker face and watch their finest good friend be fully shattered in that second after which watch one another really feel fully shattered, however then take again that energy and push via it and say every part they wanted to say. I get emotional desirous about that scene as a result of we talked about it a lot. We had been like, this does matter and there are such a lot of layers and so many issues that they’re preventing actually all through the entire scene. With Imogen, closure is a humorous factor. She received every part taken away from her, after which the primary time that she’s let a brand new man in and near her, it’s the identical individual that took every part away. Closure within the sense of, once more, she’s a reality seeker and there’s reality there, however I don’t assume that’s one thing that you simply ever heal from or that you simply ever neglect or that you simply ever forgive. In order that might be part of her, but it surely gained’t outline her. I believe that’s what these ladies needed. To know the reality and never let it outline them.
After a battle with “A,” Imogen does have her child. Do you know from the start that the child was going to be adopted by Aria and Ezra?
Bailee Madison: No, I had no thought. Truthfully, we skilled our present script by script. So at any time when we had been filming a brand new episode and received that script, we had been discovering out the solutions in real-time just like the viewers was, besides we had been simply filming it. It was an enormous shock for me.
How did you react? There have been little hints and nods over the season, however this can be a very clear connection.
Bailee Madison: I cherished it. I believe what’s so enjoyable is it’s very straightforward to form of take one thing that’s so cherished in a franchise after which simply ham it up with references and Easter Eggs for the sake of doing so. I believe what our present needed to do was respect the unique and place these nods in for OG followers to get pleasure from and have it imply one thing and have or not it's a significant connection that propelled the story not only for the sake of speaking about it. I keep in mind watching the scene with Lucy [Hale] and Ian [Harding] when she’s like, “I can’t have infants.” I used to be simply devastated and so unhappy for them. I cried. I like the truth that our present being in a brand new universe and a brand new expertise for PLL followers, I like that we had been in a position to form of carry some closure and a cheerful ending to characters which are tremendous cherished. Figuring out that that’s one thing that the OG liar needed — to be a mother — and have a nod to them and have it imply one thing was very nice and made it even higher.
So if there’s a season 2 we might even see them?
Bailee Madison: You by no means know. I imply, I believe it’s arrange. The door’s all the time open and the assist has meant a lot. Additionally, Lucy’s a good friend of mine, so that might be simply actually enjoyable to work together with her. However yeah, I believe with what we’re in a position to do going ahead, there’s a lot that may occur.
I really feel like there’s nonetheless numerous thriller in terms of the mothers’ previous. Do you assume that there are extra secrets and techniques between the mothers? There was that second between Imogen and her dad when he advised her that her mother wrote it in her will that if something ever occurred to her that Tabby’s mother would deal with her and never him.
Bailee Madison: I believe that secrets and techniques will proceed to come back out. I believe that the mothers and the daughters have all the time been such a necessary a part of PLL. The mothers had been as iconic because the Liars had been. I keep in mind watching and simply adoring them. I believe when it comes to the Angela Waters storyline, I believe we’ve closed that chapter, and the Liars are capable of finding justice and at the very least closure on behalf of Angela and have all these questions answered. However when it comes to the mothers and the daughters and what that appears like, there’s an entire lot of rising to do. Additionally, I like our mothers however they’ve received so much to study nonetheless. We’re miles forward of them with the alternatives that they make, and I believe that can proceed to push backwards and forwards between the daughters and the mothers shifting ahead.
“A” remains to be alive regardless of that insane battle. On the finish of the finale, we see “A” present up at Chip’s door with a knife. Whereas we don’t see what occurs, we've got an inkling of what goes down. “A” remains to be on the market and now we actually don’t know what Archie’s motives are actually. Is it justice for Angela? With Chip, he was form of doing one thing in service to Imogen and Tabby.
Bailee Madison: It’s a really fascinating dynamic. I believe “A” has saved folks actually confused as a result of among the issues as terrible that “A” has performed have been celebrated on-line as a result of he’s gone in the direction of folks which have been actually horrible. However I believe there’s there’s numerous makeups and mockups of “A.” I believe it doesn’t simply should be one particular person behind one thing. We’ve clearly met the world of Millwood. I believe there are lots of people with numerous secrets and techniques who can be joyful to tear somebody down, so that might be actually enjoyable to discover. I’m nonetheless satisfied the ladies are going to get framed for Tyler’s homicide. I’m simply ready for that to occur. I’m like, they’re going to undergo a trial. A goes to border them, and every part goes to go to sh*t.
We discovered that Tom Beasley and Imogen’s mother had been highschool sweethearts. There was positively a bizarre dynamic between Tom and Imogen…
Bailee Madison: I assumed he was my dad for the longest time.
I used to be going to ask, have you considered that?
Bailee Madison: I used to be satisfied often because I used to be like, this is able to make sense. Karen, Kelly, Imogen are all sisters. I used to be like, Tom’s positively the dad, Tom is my father, after which I met my dad. However I nonetheless don’t know. I’m nonetheless a bit apprehensive about it. I’m undecided.
