Note: This article contains spoilers from Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists.

Pretty Little Liars' new spin-off The Perfectionists premiered last night (March 21), and with it came revelations about what happened to some of our favourite characters.

Among the big bits of new information was what became of Alison and Emily – aka Emison – after the main series ended... and as we'd all feared, it wasn't good news.

In the episode, we saw Alison and Mona catch up, with the former revealing that she moved away from Emily to somewhere completely new.

"Emily loves me. She just can't get past the past," she told Mona, who said she assumed that the pair were happy.

"We are. And then we're not. It always comes back to trust," Alison added.

Speaking about the disintegration of Emison, showrunner Marlene King told TVLine: "We'll explore that a little more."

Admitting that they struggled to find a reason why the couple would split, she added: "When we left them, they were so happy. What would truly break them apart? When we looked back at the show, the one thing they always bumped up against was trust."

King also said that "we only had one member of that couple to bring to this show," and so it was necessary.

The episode also saw Mona hint at the fate of the Drakes, implying that Alex and Mary "escaped" from her Parisian dollhouse.

"It's not something you're going to see right away, but as we get to breathe a little bit more and slow down the story, I'd love to see that be its own standalone episode," King said.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists airs on Freeform in the US.
