Since Tuesdayā€™s episode aired, fans of the series have been furiously shipping Emily and Alison with the hashtag #emison.

In the episode, we find out that Alison is pregnant with the help of Emilyā€™s eggs.

Quick recap here for anyone who is lost in all the PLL plot-twists: Emily donated her eggs; they were stolen by a mysterious villain; the villain then used them to inseminate Alison.

Just basic PLL stuff, right?

After finding out that the baby is half Emilyā€™s, Alison ā€“ who was previously set on getting an abortion ā€“ decided to keep the baby.

I know what youā€™re all thinking, and yes: this means #emison are having a baby.

As if that wasnā€™t enough, creator Marlene King has decided to give #emisonā€™s supporters another gift.

After she found out the truth about the baby, Emilyā€™s ex-girlfriend Paige decided to leave.

But she couldnā€™t walk out before having a heart-breaking talk with Alison, who reveals that sheā€™s in love with Emily.

ā€œI know how I feel when she looks at me.

ā€œI never felt that with anyone before. Itā€™s like she sees who you really are,ā€ Alison tells her.

ā€œYou look at her, you look at her eyes and you wanna be worth the effort.

ā€œYou wanna be the person she sees.ā€

And with that speech, #emison supporters were filled with joy amid thoughts of a plausible #emisonendgame.

Actress Shay Mitchell, who has said playing a lesbian was the best part of the series for her, also tweeted during the episode.

She also suggested a name for the baby.

#Emison fans will be bracing themselves ahead of the last five episodes of the season, which will bring the seven-year-long show to a close.

Watch this sneak peak from episode 16, which will be released on Tuesday.
