PRETTY LITTLE LIARS: "Someone to Watch Over Me" - 3/7/2011, ABC Family
Emily and Paige were one of the main romantic couples in seasons 3 to 7 of this teen drama, but as this clip from season 1 begins, they're still just friends. Emily is out of the closet and Paige is considering whether to tell people she's gay. Note the angsty coming-out-story conventions central to queer-youth portrayals just over a decade ago.
It's remarkable how queer-friendly ABC Family (now Freeform) was by the 2010s, giving us series like this one and THE FOSTERS, considering that the channel originated as the right-wing, queer-hating Christian Broadcasting Network.
