"Immortality, my darlings." AD
You know how the writers and the cast say, after the reveal you can rewatch the series and think how obvious it has been from the start???
WELL, remembering the trailers and the first episode- most people’s plus my initial guess was Ali being the anonymous stalker cos it’s the most obvious!
And i think the show really just went rounds, but it really comes back to Alison Dilaurentis. And i will tell you why:
• the first few seasons, -A was centered on making the girls remember Alison. It’s like every single day they were made to think about her.
Wasn’t that what Ali wanted in the flashbacks? To be remembered, to be famous in life and death?
“Immortality, my darlings.” You know what they say, you’re only dead until someone says your name for the last time.
• We’ve been told Alison saw Mona last before truly escaping that night… And we know how Mona liked to suck up to Ali and become her. I’m not surprised if Mona was “A” because Ali asked her to be… To take the fall, to become more like her.
Also remember:
“I did everything you asked me to” we were told she was talking to Cece, but she was heavily drugged and thought it was Alison. But i read a theory (tag the person pls), that cece’s visitor’s pass might have been really for Ali as she was presumed dead and it would be problematic for a dead girl to visit an alleged stalker - which is why she used Cece’s name as they always switch personalities anyway.
• Alison planned to escape that night beforehand. Blackmailed Mr. Montgomery, left her diaries, her shady quotes, etc.
• We know how Jenna always says something like “i’m not the one you should be afraid of, i’m not Alison”
• Alison picked out the girls, knows all their secrets, knows how they are and how foolishly they commit to her. Example: The first secret.
Alison wanted to test their loyalty, to see how much the girls would do for her and if her game will work.
• “the bolder the move, the less anyone questions it.” THE INITIALS OF UBER A ARE FREAKING AD
• Can we not forget the time Mona fake died and got kidnapped, Alison looked extremely pleased ??? And conveniently that Mona was taken since she just called Aria how she can prove Alison is A.
• Alison was accused by the girls of being possibly -A and/or killing Mona, BUT redeemed herself after finding them in the dollhouse, making her look like a good friend after everything she’s put them through. (Don’t come at me i love Alison but i also love the idea of her being evil)
• remember when she just got back and supposedly she’s turned good but she stringed the girls back into her web of lies AKA her kidnapping story and even made Cyrus take the fall
• she was the original Red Coat. And emily did say she knew RC was in charge
• that whole Cyrus thing was ??? In her story, he used her and stole her things and even stabbed her. Then suddenly we see her in Vivian costume paying him off and shit.
No matter you turn that around, she lied.
• She escaped Rosewood allegedly to get away from -A, but when she fake died she followed the girls around knowing that they are being targetted by -A???? Which defeats the whole purpose of being “dead” if she just puts herself out there again, of course she’d be seen by -A.
You can argue she couldn’t help it, they were her friends but that brings me to the next point:
She said she knew -A, but never told the girls who it was after LOTS of opportunities of communicating with them. Why? If she really wanted to help them
• up til now the show claims the Liars being completely innocent during “that night” - which makes 0 sense as to why they were being targeted. Unless they really did something that has yet tocbe revealed OR it’s their dear friend Ali playing games on them like she did before that night.
• that quote of Aria about Everything being Ali’s show.
Well, to sum up what they did in the series:
- solve Ali’s death
- bring Ali safe back home
- figure out who Ali’s brother Charles is
- come back to hellsWood to free Ali’s sister Charlotte
- figure who Ali’s cousin is
• and also remember how everything started again when Ali called them back to Rosewood. Like they were happy with their lives already, or at least out of that traumatic mess – and suddenly she calls them back and now they’re suffering again
• Cece was never big A. She was blackmailed by Alison to be A helper or take the blame for everything.
As Ali is in the possession of the NAT videos and was basically running around the whole night that labor day she found out Spencer was the one to hit Bethany (spencer’s flashbacks!!!). And Ian claiming the videos had something that could ruin the Dilaurentis, i assume Alison found out Cece and Spencer being siblings, thus blackmailing Cece into taking the fall or else spilling the beans about Spencer.
Taking this further, i think the NAT video’d Melissa and Cece talking “that night” – them planning how to protect Spencer. Cece talking Melissa into burying Bethany for S.
• Alison stayed with Charlotte over the 5 years to make sure she won’t talk.
• also, i already put this in a previous theory buttt i’m gonna mention it here again. When Wilden interviewed the Liars about that night, he observed it to be rehearsed as everything was exactly the same from their previous statement. Reminds me of that christmas episode, where we were shown how Jessica taught Alison to lie by making her repeat the lie over and over. Alison could have done that with the Liars, even easier as they were drugged.
Which is why they were all so shady in the Pilot.
• It started with Alison’s funeral and it’s gonna end with AD’s funeral.
But she achieved her wish, she will never be forgotten. She will always live in the trauma of many people she’s ruined.
