Arcturus and the Bear
By now we know that “Arcturus” is a constellation known as “Guardian of the Bear.”
So, if Arcturus is protecting someone, then... who’s the bear?
We’ve had a limited amount of bear references on this show, but enough to think that this is a clue.
First we had Hanna’s classic line...
“Sometimes you poke the bear, and other times the bear pokes you.”
Then, in 6x01 we had this line from Ali:
“If we don’t poke the bear, it’ll just keep hibernating.”
And then, somewhere between 6x01 and 6x10 Marlene posted this on Instagram:
With the caption: “A’ Does have a soul.”
Then in the nightmare that was 6x10...
Charles with his teddy bear when he is being dropped at Radley, and Charlotte with her bear as she tells Ali her tale.
Off topic: Do we, or do we not think it’s significant that these are different bears? Just saying, maybe the fact that Charlotte has a different bear from flashback Charles, is because they aren’t the same person.
Then there’s this from the Haleb proposal...
and lastly, these two statements from 7x18...
OK, so now is the time for the classic PLL game “Is this a clue, or is it nothing?”
I personally feel like their have been enough bear references in 7B alone (I kow there was another one in 7B, but I can’t find it... I think it was another Hanna line...) to put this up for consideration as a clue... but a clue to what?
The only thing I got out of this is a fairly obvious reference to Pastor Ted, what with the church literally having a secret tunnel to Radley, and multiple references to a Teddy Bear. (This is where I emerge from the wing with my dream that Ted just fathered every child on the A team.)
