How do you top a reveal made so big it gave Pretty Little Liars viewers heart palpitations (see: Toby's "A" connection)? By introducing a handful of new questions in the winter premiere that thrusts the ABC Family drama into an even more complex web of lies, deception and betrayals.
The biggest development of Tuesday's "She's Better Now," which saw Hanna's (Ashley Benson) former best friend Mona (Janel Parrish) re-introduce herself into the gossiping hallways of Rosewood High, dealt with Aria (Lucy Hale) and the very real fact that her father, Byron (Chad Lowe), is very much at the center of the Alison (Sasha Pieterse) murder mystery. (In the Halloween episode, it was Garrett who informed Spencer that Byron was one of the last people to see Alison alive.)

The Following panelists fielded a flurry of questions by reporters at its Television Critics Association's winter press tour session Tuesday, many of them revolving around violence and the cable-esque sexual situations. So it was a mood lightener when a reporter opted to go the fan route, saying that there came a point during the show, which debuts Jan. 21 at 9 p.m., when she wanted Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy's alter egos to kiss.
Moments later, Bacon and Purefoy did just that (see photo above). "Rule nothing in, rule nothing out,” Purefoy joked following the peck.
The 1600 Penn cast and crew is heading to the real White House.
President Obama will host a screening Wednesday for the White House comedy, which NBC sampled behind The Voice in December. It's a reunion of sorts, since the half-hour comedy, which centers on a dysfunctional first family, was co-created by Obama's former speech writer Jon Lovett.

“Once he’s born, he’s in the show a lot,” Snooki tells THR. “He’s a part of my life now, he is my life, so you’re gonna see him a lot.”
Fox took the spotlight Tuesday at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour in Pasadena, facing writers about its disappointing start to the 2012-13 season.
Fox rolled out eight stars from its comedy block at the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Tuesday. And the awkward line from reporters gave most onstage a chance to show off some of the improv skills used on their series.
Tuesday's early renewal for Bones comes with plenty of questions about whether or not the upcoming ninth season will be the series' last.
And though there was no clear answer when Fox Broadcasting entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly spoke with reporters during the Television Critics Association summer press tour, he was decidedly optimistic.
