The A investigAtion

Investigating Pretty Little Liars. This blog will try to gather and answer some of the thousand questions from PLL.

Ali's scar

I hope they don't do the Ali has a twin story (from the books), but if they do here's a theory:

Ali told the story about the twins in The First Secret in season 2 (read the story). Maybe the twin didn't actually stab the other twin in the chest, but in the thigh. I think the girls would notice if Ali had the scar in the past. This means that the Ali they knew before she disappeared was the evil twin, and the Ali now in season 5 is the good twin. (Of course if the scar is not that old, this theory don't hold)

Possible Unanswered Questions

- Who killed Ian if Alison was telling the truth (4X24)?

- Why did Mona have Maya’s cell phone and how did she get it (3X12)?

- If Alison trusted Duncan so much to let him know both her real and fake identity; did she tell him what was going on. Why didn’t she...

"Dad Spencer didn’t kill that girl"

Melissa said that to her dad in the season 4 finale. So it’s safe to assume that Melissa either knows who did or did it herself.

Either way, Peter makes it clear in the Season 5 Premiere that’s Melissa should NOT tell her mother.

Melissa also says that she...

I don’t know if it is really a theory or just an observation but here it goes anyways, and bare with me it’s kind of long (sorry).

So we now know that Shana started the lodge fire and that Ali only pulled Hanna out. We also know that Black Widow was at the lodge fire and burned her Ali mask but...

‘Pretty Little Liars’: Marlene King on that twist, life after ‘A,’ and the season you ‘will not see coming’ | EW.com

We chatted with PLL showrunner Marlene King about the decision to kill Shana, what exactly Ezra whispered, and what comes next with Mona’s Army.

Highlights from the interview:

"She’s [Shana] on the phone in one of those webisodes talking to someone, and she’s talking to Alison" (I have to rewatch the webisodes now)

About the group of As in NY: "Q: Those couldn’t all have been “A” team members, right? A: No, we called that the black hoodie flash mob. If you go back and really look at the episode and see what was going on, “A” sent a text out that said like, “It’s happening” or something like that, and that is a black hoodie flash mob that “A” had planned in case “A” got into trouble" "Mona appears to be very out in the open with her feelings toward Alison and the return. This is a clandestine meeting of Mona’s Army as she rallies the troops, but very early on when Ali comes back, she sort of states her case, which is like, “I’m not ‘A.’ I don’t need to be ‘A’ anymore. I’m not hiding" (More clarification, this group may not be connected to the A-team)

"Q: Will we be finding out Melissa’s secret this summer? A: Yes. Definitely. We will play that out throughout the summer." (Finally some answers about Melissa, maybe...)

"Q: Let’s touch on CeCe. Can I say now that she officially killed Wilden? A: Well yes, that’s certainly what Ali believes, right?" (So, Cece may not have killed wilden after all, hmm *sigh*)

EscApe From New York - Shana Theory

[theainvestigation]

Escape from New York (Q&A)

The season 5 premiere had a lot of good answers and of course more questions. Here are some of them after my first look at the episode.

Who died? Shana. Aria killed Shana (self-defense/ accident)

Who shot Ezra? (A-team member revealed): Shana. Ali asked Shana to help her by going to Rosewood and ask questions, but Shana fell in love with Jenna. In Rosewood Shana learned a lot of negative stuff about Ali, including Jenna's "accident". Shana was seeking justice for Jenna. She claims Jenna does not know she's in NY after Ali (Is Jenna still in a coma?). Ezra was afraid of Shana when he sees her in the hospital. Later he whispers something to Aria before Aria run of to save her friends from Shana. It also looks like Shana was part of the A-team because she wore the black hoodie uniform. . Shana says she locked the girls in the lodge in the season 3 finale. She was fighting fire with fire. (Didn't Melissa say something about Wilden setting the lodge fire (s4 ep 4))

Why was Cece red coat? - She was helping Ali. She was a decoy red coat in Ravenwoods to fool A. She was distracting A so Ali could turn off the saw and save Em (and Ezra was paying CeCe for information)

Who killed Wilden? - Cece (Looks like the police were right for once)

-----------------------------------------------------

Questions:- Who were all the hooded figures in New York? How large is actually the A-team, or were these people only hired for this mission. - Why did Cece kill Wilden? Part of it was to protect Ali, but why? - Is Mona gathering a larger A-team, or just a "I hate Ali"-team? Is Melissa on the A-team? And what did she mean with 'We don't have much time'? Time to do what exactly? - Who attacked Shana in the car if she was on the A-team? Ezra? - What exactly did Melissa tell her father? What is so big that they can't tell Mrs. Hastings?

the waitress in the diner (whose name is Marlene) uses Pretty Eyes as one of her go-to greetings. The Pretty Eyes she referred to the first time we saw her were to Mona’s eyes.

…probably Craigslist.

I mean, we already know A likes to get help from total strangers just to mess with the PLL’s (like the little girls from the last season with the dolls, the creepy kid and old lady in the scary-ass doll shop…) I don’t think it’s the actual A team (unless every single person...

[We will find out what she whispered by summer’s end] “We will find out what she whispered, and it’s of great significance to everything.”

[fuckyeahprettylittleliar]

Are we going to get a real A or member of the A-Team reveal this season?

This season, characters on the show will learn A’s identity and give a huge clue to the audience.

What time of year is it in Rosewood? It has been senior year for 2 whole seasons, and 1.5 seasons since halloween of...

We are heading in the direction of finding out who the person is buried in Alison’s grave, and who killed that person. The body is dressed just like Alison — which wasn’t a coincidence, I’m sure. Those are two big mysteries, one of which we will definitely get an answer to this summer. In regard to the other one, fans will be thinking their own theories as to who killed that person. Also, we will definitely be asking the question: What did Melissa whisper to Mr. Hastings in the police station in season 4 episode 24? And we’ll find out the answer to that this summer.

Hi! I’ve been rewatching season 3 and something doesn’t add up about Maya’s death or maybe I didn’t catch it. They said Maya was killed in Emily’s backyard (And we saw the video she posted on her site where she looked very frightened) but we see somebody (Presumebly Nate) grab her arm outside...

"He still needs to be redeemed, by the way. He took a bullet for the girls, but he still has some work to do. That’s definitely part of [his arc]." The answer to who shot Ezra, however, will come sooner than expected, "very early" in the season, says King. "It’s a big twist. We find out maybe a week from Tuesday."

What an awesome way to kick off season 5 with some answers we have been craving!

[spncerhstings]

I’ve seen people speculate that pretty much every single character is/could be “Uber A”. The most popular guesses I’ve seen are Melissa, Paige, Toby, Wren, or one of the PLL’s.

But I don’t think it’s any of them.

IF it is one of them though, I would say that is either Wren or Toby.

But I...
