Alison Dilaurentis: the rundown
Season 1, 2, and 3:
Alison Dilaurentis is the queen bee mean girl who can manipulate any and everyone just by looking at them who sloooooooooowly evolves into a good person whose life gets shaken up at every turn. So much is centered basically around her death and people trying to figure out who did this and why. We get small glimpses of how mean and how many secrets she held and the way she turned the secrets into ammunition for blackmail. Now Iâve characterized these seasons together obviously because she was âdeadâ for these seasons. Knowing what we know now, she wasnât always so bad, she did save their lives on several occasions; she saved Emily from the barn, saved Aria from Meredith drugging her to get those pages,etc. It was harder to see her humanity in these seasons.
4B definitely stood out the most because we were finally able to confirm that she was alive, even though we were all thinking it from the beginning. I applaud Sashaâs portrayal in the finale for how raw Ali was discussing events leading up to her disappearance, her retelling of her mother burying her was amazing.
I had so many mixed feelings of Ali over the course of this season. I went from feeling bad for her for not only fleeing a mad(wo)man but after all that, she gets home and her mom is dead in the backyard, to being mad at her for going back to her manipulative ways to feeling sorry for her once again for being wrongly convicted of murder. I think at some point in the season we all felt like she was guilty of something and that she was right back to manipulating as if she never left town in the first place. That disappointed me because I wanted her change to come quicker than it did but anyways moving forward. It was way too obvious that she didnât kill Mona and the girls thinking she did provided us with a lot of filler episodes that we didnât need. However it gave us more scenes with Cece that we shouldâve been able to pick up on quicker. She went above and beyond to help her and I sat there thinking ââwhy?ââ. When she was convicted they drug her through the mud sure she was a bully but cmon they couldnât prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Alison could kill her. They didnât have a body, no nothing. Secondly with or without her injury that never healed as a kid, she could never throw Mona around and the fact they said that she could made me laugh at their incompetence.
Iâm glad that she was able to come through for the girls after they were taken by A in the dollhouse because we all know Rosewood PD was full of crap. Next up, I loved midseason finale obviously because it was her and Cece just face to face finding out information from the source. I do get Aliâs sympathy for her but at the same time I could never let someone who did so much to me and my closest friends back into my good graces so easily. Five years forward, although I was shocked to find Ali teaching, seeing her in action, it made sense. Iâm glad that she worked her way through her past to become a good person. I donât think she shouldâve begged the girls to come see her before the hearing, it proved that she could still get to them but not in the same manipulative way that she use to. She got what she wanted, her sister back, though it only lasted for one night. We got to see raw, sad Ali again and I was there for it. Iâm glad she was there for Emily during her procedure, shows that her friendship isnât one sided when it comes to the other girls. One thing I dislike about the whole Alison being kind thing is that they made her seem so gullible when it came to Elliot Archer. She was so quick to want to get married and fell for his manipulations.
I know thereâs plenty more to come for her since sheâs pregnant. Lets get to this pregnancy though shall we? I think that the baby is Emilyâs, it could be Archers or ADâs or maybe they wonât even want to know but I feel like the baby is Emilyâs because I donât think they will bring up that Emilyâs eggs getting destroyed for no reason. it is a perfect opportunity to make Emison happen- which weâve felt that was going to happen from the beginning, friends donât just flirt and kiss for years and nothing just not happen, cmon people. Iâm excited to see how this pregnancy plays out.
When they found out she was alive âDid ya miss me?ââ
âThatâs immortality my darlingââ
When the jury came back with a guilty verdict- that scene was amazing
Working to save the girls from the dollhouse
When telling the girls what all happened the night she left
When she came to Aria to warn her about Meredith
7a finale Emison moment âthatâs not why, I promiseââ
What I want from her in the final 10 episodes:
her figuring out her sexuality(which weâve been promised would happen since season 5), I want her to find happiness(hopefully with Emily), for her to have a smooth pregnancy, to strengthen her friendships with the other girls, to keep growing as a good person
