It's hard to believe, but after seven years, Pretty Little Liars will come to a close on June 27 with an episode titled "Till Death Do Us Part." In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the cast reminisced about filming the finale. It turned out that one line in particular was a total tear-jerker.

"Was it the very first sentence that someone had to say something and we all just started crying?" Ashley Benson asked the other Liars. "We couldn't even do it. We almost weren't able to even start the table read because it was just so heavy."

The line was written for Alison's character during the last scene that all five Liars had together: "I feel like this is the end of something."

"I couldn't talk," Sasha Pieterse recalled. "Marlene was like, 'Okay, that was great, but just a little less crying.'"

In a second Entertainment Weekly interview, Troian Bellisario described the last table read as "really emotional." They even held it in the same room where they first read the pilot.

Plus she hinted that the finale involves the return of characters you might have forgotten about form past seasons.

"We had several people from the studio and from the network there," she added. "It was really a collection of people, so we had cast members that we hadn't seen in forever and we were sitting like three rows deep and it was a massive table read and it was a lot of scenes where we were saying goodbye."

And apparently the waterworks began even before Ali's heartbreaking line — Troian explained that Shay Mitchell and Ashley showed up that day wearing sunglasses because they had already begun crying.

"We did not take those off the whole day," Shay said.

Now you know how to prep for the finale: popcorn, tissues, and sunglasses.
