Unexplained Shady Wren Moment: #2

→ Episode 4x10

Since this episode is packed full of suspicious Wren scenes, I thought I would summarise them before discussing what they could mean.

Wren and Mona are in Radley discussing the picture he has drawn of the family on a farm (we can assume he draw it as Mona criticises the artist, which seems to be a dig at him.) They then go on to talk about why Mona killed Wilden; she says it was because she owed the girls and he was bothering them; we know she actually didn’t kill him, so it seems she may have been covering for CeCe. Wren says he doesn’t believe she did anything. She then expresses that she doesn’t trust him because of his loyalties.

Later, Wren is on a break and Hanna finds him. She asks if he will let her in to see Mona, but he says he cannot. She then asks if CeCe had been to visit her, or if he let her in as he had done so previously. Wren looks concerned and says a blond girl had recently tried to see Mona; he assumed it was Hanna but it must have been CeCe. He is worried because she may have been able to see her since they have less staff due to budget cuts. Once Hanna is gone, he phones someone and says “we have a problem, I’ll take care of my end; you take care of yours.”

Next, we see Wren talking with Veronica Hastings, who is a lawyer on Ashley Marin’s defence team. He tells her Mona is planning on turning the tables on them. Veronica had previously mentioned Mona was helping their case by confessing, so this worries her. Veronica visits Mona in Radley which causes her to be kicked off of Ashley’s defence.

The last we see Wren in this episode, and the entire series, shows him colouring in a red coat in the picture of the family. He is on the phone to someone and says he thinks Veronica persuaded Mona to confess and that “you can’t trust anyone.”

To me, this episode actually implies he is working against CeCe. 

Here’s why:

-He is trying to get the truth out of Mona about Wilden. He knows she didn’t kill him, therefore implying he knows CeCe did. If he was working for CeCe, why would he be interrogating Mona about her confession and her covering for CeCe?

-He was worried that CeCe had been allowed to speak with Mona. Obviously he was aware CeCe was a patient, but his mention of them being short staffed implies CeCe would be allowed out of her room easily to speak with Mona. Why does this concern him?

-He implies Veronica made Mona confess, and he also got her kicked off of Ashley’s defence team. If he is working against CeCe, he may have been punishing Veronica for essentially helping Cece; if she had persuaded Mona, she was (unknowingly) helping CeCe get away with Wilden’s murder. Why does this matter to him? Why did he need to get revenge on Veronica? Why did he express how he couldn’t trust Veronica for doing so?

-Alternatively, this scene could be him protecting Mona. By getting Veronica kicked off of Ashley’s defence team, he is making Ashley more vulnerable and more likely to be found guilty, and therefore, helping Mona not be found guilty. Why would he need to help Mona? Is she useful to him?

-Mona’s mention of Wren’s loyalties could imply he is a double agent; he was helping CeCe but also has his own agenda that Mona is aware of.

If Wren is Uber A, this episode is definitely proof of it. Most of his actions are ones which are going against CeCe in some way, and it seems at the moment the next villain is one which is not on CeCe’s side. I am currently working on a Wren is Uber A theory that involves Bethany Young, so please keep your eyes peeled!
