Following the most awkward dinner in Pretty Little Liars history, fans are wondering what will happen next between Emily, her mom and Maya?

Heck, one critic surmised in a certain Round Table discussion that Emily's mother might poison her girlfriend. It's unclear what actually lies ahead, but at this week's Critic's Association press tour, Shay Mitchell teased significant developments.

"There's a big twist. There's a big turn," Mitchell told reporters.

Might this storyline have to do with Lindsey Shaw, who will come aboard as Paige, a member of the swim team?

"You definitely  get to see Emily's competitive side and you haven't see that in awhile. She gets back in the water and Paige brings out a really competitive streak in Emily. It's kind of an added stress if she can even handle anymore. It's a very interesting dynamic they have."

In closing, Mitchell says there's more Emily/Toby interaction to come.

"Their relationship continues... He just really helped Emily, along with Maya. He just made her feel comfortable to be who she was. He is a very important part and he'll be sticking around."
