The thing is Tabby would hate Ezra if she knew how he and Aria got together 💀

Since Peter Hastings got children by three different women, what if A.D or Uber A a fourth child that was given up for adoption and they super salty that their dad gave them up so they want to fuck up his kids lives as revenge…….

45 reasons why this show makes no sense!

WHAT A.D. STANDS FOR

CREDIT FOR THIS IDEA GOES TO @theplltheorist The overall idea of what A.D. stands for IS NOT MINE - credit as above! I repeat, the idea of what A.D. stands for is not mine! But, since I loved the idea so much I’m going to explain it in my own way and give my own clues that I found myself.

I’m fully convinced that A.D. stands for Advocatus Diaboli, which is Latin for Devil’s Advocate. Here was our clue:

Oh and at the end of 714, what do we hear in the final song? Devil, devil. These are the main lyrics they make us listen to, on full blast. Devil, devil!

Another occasion of a song about a devil playing, is in episode 401: “The Devil Within” plays. It plays during a scene with Black Widow:

More devil references in the above scene. Is a ‘devil’ endgame?

So there are clear devil references in the show. But what does it all mean? Advocatus Diaboli?

The job of a devil’s advocate is to prove that people are not saints, and actually, they have flaws. There is someone out there in Rosewood who is so obsessed with these five pretty girls, but absolutely cannot stand the idea that they come across so perfect, when in reality, they create their own problems through lying. Throughout the series we’ve seen A’s obsession with the girls - stroking Aria’s pink hair, making dolls of the girls, eating popcorn while watching the girls on TV… the list goes on. A.D. finds these girls so pretty! But they’re not pretty on the inside. They create their own problems and they need to own up to it.

Advocatus Diaboli wants to expose the truth behind these five pretty girls. Why do they keep getting into terrible situations but somehow come out the other side clean?

This is the whole theme of the show: these girls are not perfect. They actually create their own mess, and A.D. is obsessed with exposing the fact that they’re not as pretty on the inside. I remember one quote from Hanna: “I don’t even know why I just lied”.

You know what is really making me believe in this theory? WHO THE HELL WROTE THIS? This was NOT Andrew’s diary - the writers wanted us to think it was his, however he was revealed to not be Charles, so it makes no sense for Andrew (an innocent person) to have written this. Somehow, A.D.’s diary stumbled into Tanner’s hands while she was investigating Charlotte (further highlighting the relationship between Charlotte and A.D.)

The girls indeed are Pretty Little Liars.

Followers of my blog know I am obsessed with the idea of Bethany Young being A.D. (You can read posts entirely dedicated to Bethany here and here.) I believe this idea of A.D. standing for Advocatus Diaboli works perfectly for Bethany.

She never ever draws her face properly. Is it possible that she was the Black Widow as mentioned above (when The Devil Within played, again hinting to Advocatus Diaboli) and her face deformity is precisely why she sees the girls as so pretty; these girls have what she will never have - a pretty perfect face, and she’s frustrated that everyone sees these girls as so perfect, and so she becomes the Advocatus Diaboli/Devil’s Advocate to expose their flaws. Perhaps, she was caught in the fire of The Jenna Thing too, which caused her face deformity, making this more personal too for her to attack Spencer, Aria, Hanna, Emily and Alison. They did cause that fire.

Is this our true Uber A/A.D.?

PLL #ENDGAME Theory

A.D = Avery Drake

It all starts at Radley - all roads lead back to Radley, Dr Cochran said he delivered “two (Cece and Spencer) of Mary’s babies” suggesting she possibly had more.

I think the night Spencer was born, a second baby was born. Veronica was outside Radley in a car while Peter was inside. 

After Spencer was born, a second baby was born; one that Peter hadn’t accounted for, he couldn’t face having to deal with two children. So he pretended that just one child was born - Spencer, Spencer only escaped being left in Radley because she was born first.

The second child born was Avery - Avery Drake. We have seen her multiple times, but only once as a child. Remember the dancing girl from Spencer’s dream?

Avery spent the first part of her life in Radley, where she gets to know Cece, without realising they’re related, and Bethany Young, the three become very close friends.

Eventually, Avery shows she should be allowed out of/ runs away from Radley, the same way Cece was, however she chose not to spend her time in Rosewood. She spent her time in Courtland - where she made friends with Sara Harvey.

Avery was part of the group that Emily and Hanna met, however she was not at the meeting because she was preoccupied with Radley/the A Game.

We were told Avery was struggling with the disappearance of Sara, but she knew Sara was safe the whole time - she was worried about Bethany, after she vanished on labour day (when Mona hit her over the head and Melissa buried her alive)

Both Avery and Cece struggled with not knowing what happened to Bethany - until Mona arrived at Radley. Mona revealed to Avery about Spencer, and Avery clocks that she’s spent her life in a mental hospital while her twin had a luxury life, this is enough to drive anyone crazy. 

Due to the sub-conscious guilt of deep down knowing she killed Bethany, while on her meds, Mona lies and says that it was Spencer and her friends. 

That is Cece and Avery’s motives to play the game with Mona.

Mona = Black Hoodie

Cece = Redcoat

Avery = Black Widow 

Sara Harvey had no reason to disguise herself, Spencer’s twin does.

Although Cece and Avery kept themselves hidden from Mona, they begun to fear she may remember them from her time at Radley and reveal them to the girls, so they stole the game off her. 

Avery and Cece continued the game with the soul purpose of revenge for the girls killing Bethany.

For unknown reasons, they decided to end the game in 6x10, however, Cece agreed to take the fall for Avery so that Avery could enjoy her life free. Cece lied about her story in order to protect her, and Sarah Harvey agreed to join as she was friends with Avery and heard her story.

After Cece gave up 5 years of freedom for Avery, to then be murdered, Avery started the game again in order to avenge her death. 

Avery has lost the only things she ever had; Bethany and Cece. She has nothing left to live for, and that’s why she’s ending the game, after she finds out who killed Cece - she has nothing left to lose.

A.D = Avery Drake.

ADDITIONAL CLUES:

Notice how all the liars have only one eye shown, but Spencer has two - hinting she has a twin.

The scene in which A is seen in the zoo, she matches Spencer.

spencer:

Wren can still be Charles

I’m all about the theory that CeCe faked her reveal to cover for the real Charles and I still think Charles is Wren. A lot of people discount this theory based on the fact that Wren and Spencer have hooked up multiple times and the incest thing would be too much. Wren can definitely be Charles with no possible incest of any kind. 

We sort of just discovered that Veronica is sadly not Spencer’s biological mother. Mary Drake is. I think the writers may have done this on purpose to show the viewers that it is possible for a mother to adopt and accept a child that is not hers, but instead her husband’s.

Now, I KNOW comparing Veronica and Jessica is like comparing apples and a table cloth. They are no where on the same level. But CeCe’s “reveal” of how Jessica was with her made me think of Jessica differently.

In CeCe’s “reveal” Jessica was very accepting of Charles transitioning to a female, and Jessica seemed to care for CeCe by visiting her a lot, letting her take classes at UPenn, etc. So this made me see a different side of Jessica that could potentially be true to her character.

I think Ken had an affair with a random woman and she gave birth to Charles, Wren, without his knowledge. Something happened to this woman where she could no longer care for Wren, like she died or something, and she sent Wren to live with his father, Ken. Ken is now feeling bad because he cheated on Jessica and now Jessica is forced to care for Wren or she leaves Ken, which she doesn’t want to do and can’t say anything about it because she had an affair of her own with Peter. 

Seeing Jason and Wren interact and bond really makes Jessica happy. She has no problem now raising some other woman’s kid because she sees the joy he brings to the family. Jessica and Ken finally have a kid of their own a few years later, and that’s Alison.

They are the perfect family of five, taking trips to the apple farm and just having a grand ol’ time.

So there you have it. That is the only way that Wren can be Charles DiLaurentis without any incest.

How The AD Reveal Should Have Gone (Alex's Backstory)

When Alex left her adopted home, she begged/borrowed/stealed/etc enough money to get to the states in order to find her real parents. During this time, she met Wren, and he became infatuated with her. This was 2 years before Ali disappeared. 

Alex, at first, thought Jessica was Mary. She visited the DiLaurentis household and explained who she was and the horrible life she had endured. Jessica played the part of Mary, internally freaking out about the amount of chaos Alex’s reveal would undoubtedly cause.  She put Alex up in a hotel room while she asked her to be patient as she got up the nerve to explain to her family about Alex’s existence.   At this point, Alex was not aware that she was a twin, let alone that her twin lived next door to her “Mom”. Jessica immediately went to Peter, and the two of them devised a plan. Jessica would use her authority on the board at Radley to commit Alex as someone with multiple personality.  Peter, being genetically related, signed Alex in as “Bethany Young”.  They used Alex’s true back story (one which Alex originally had no problem agreeing to) as proof that she had a mental break, complete with accent.   Once Alex/Bethany was in Radley, Jessica kept tabs on her, and after the mind numbing drugs kicked in, would occasionally take Alex/Bethany on outtings. This is when she would insist Alex call her “Aunt Jessica”.  This was also why Jessica had told Ali you can “never turn your back on a Hastings”, because she was well aware that she could never share her knowledge of Alex’s existence, and if Ali had ever seen Alex, she would think she was Spencer.

There were a few times that Alex/Bethany was able to escape.  

(photo credit to PLL Theories)

The first time was Ian’s Halloween party.  While there, she overheard Noel talk about his and Ali’s plan to scare the girls.  At this point, she hadn’t yet seen Spencer.  Alex had fuly intended to severely hurt/kill Ali in that abandoned house, though Ali was stronger that she thought.  Once the girls were freed from the locked room, Alex finally saw Spencer and she seethed with rage. She realized the true reason behind Jessica betraying her, and instead of leaving town, as she had originally planned, she opted to go back to Radley and devise a new plan. Before she did, she befriended Ian, who was a member of the NAT club.  At that point, she both flirted with Ian, as well as paid him with money provided by Wren, and convinced him to film Alison and her friends. He didn’t understand why “Spencer” wanted to be filmed, though Alex incorporated it as part of her flirting, telling Ian she wanted to see how Ian saw her in his eyes.   Alex’s first priority, however, was still hurting Ali.  Alex/Bethany would never forgive Jessica for having her wrongly commited.  She starts writing to Ali, although when Ali visits Radley to see her, Alex has her roommate(Kimberly Brown) pretend to be “Bethany”.  Ali, being the mean girl she was at the time, enjoys playing with her new toy.  

When Ali begins to get “A” messages (from Mona), she begins to wonder if it isn’t Bethany sending them.  She antagonizes Alex/Bethany through letters and “visits”, making things even worse than the already are.  At the same time, Ali isn’t completely certain that “Bethany” is behind the threats, so after receiving the lipstick note on the mirror, she devies a plan to either expose Bethany or have her take her place.   Ali drops of an exact duplicate of her outfit at Radley, with a note for Bethany to escape and come meet her so they can finally work things out.  Ali figures she and Bethany can either hash things out for good, or that if someone is trying to kill her, having Bethany run around dressed as she is hedges her bets a little bit in case it is someone else threatening her.  

At this point, Alison believes that the other Liars are innocent, and not the ones leaving messages.  That said, she can not have them in her way for all that is about to go down that night.  So, she drugs them. Meanwhile, Jessica receives a phone call that Alex/Bethany has escaped.  She freaks out, and forbids Alison from leaving the house at all.  

Spencer and Ali argue.  Ali walks back towards her house and Spencer walks towards the woods/house.  Melissa hears heard the argument between Ali and Spencer, as do the girls (Aria, Hanna, and Emily), in a drug induced haze. The girls arrive in the bushes in time to see someone dressed like Ali, hit Alison. Mrs. D also sees Alex hit Ali from the window.  Mrs. D rushes from the house as Alex runs away.  The girls, again drugged, begin to chase Ali’s assailant.    Mrs. D, believing Ali dead, buries her.  Mrs. Grunwald pulls Ali from the grave. The girls, chasing Alex through the woods, finally lap back around to the gazebo area and attack Alex.  As they begin to attack her, they start to hallucinate that it is Alison, and finally stop.  They leave Alex’s lifelss body in the gazebo area, and Melissa stumbles across it.  Seeing only the clothes and hair, Melissa thinks Spencer killed Ali, and buries her to hide the evidence.

At this point, Alex’s roommate, Kimberly Brown, who had escaped from Radley with Alex, leaves their meeting spot and comes looking for Alex to figure out what is taking so long.  She sees Melissa burying Alex, and as soon as Melissa leaves, she digs out the grave and saves Alex.

As it turns out, this was the worst mistake Kimberly could have made.  Alex, now set on burning down everything to do with Spencer, and the other liars, kills Kimberly Brown on the spot, switches clothes with her, and buries Kimberly in the grave.  That way, when her body is found, no one will expect she is alive and able to exact revenge.   At this point, Alex still believes she has killed Alison.

Mona sees Ali walking along the road, sends her out of town.  Ali knows for sure that someone is out to kill her, and that her Mom buried her without hesitation.  There is no reason to stay.

Alex then spends the next year devising a plan to get revenge on the liars for trying to kill her.  She enlists Wren to start dating Melissa, to get his way into the Hastings trust, and to learn more about Spencer.  As it turns out, Wren starts falling for Spencer, which only makes Alex hate Spencer more.

She starts communicating (electronically) with Mona, Lucas, and Jenna, who she learned from the NAT tapes had hated Ali as much as she did, as was also picked on by the liars.   When Aria returns to Rosewood, Alex gently nudges Mona to start sending A messages to the girls again.  She tells Mona that she will be an outcast agin, now that the Liars will be together again. In essence, she sets Mona free on the girls to torture them, knowing at some point she will escalate the game to her own level. 

When she notices the DiLaurentis house is sold, and that workers start to dig around the gazebo area, she knows she will need to get ahold of that body to switch around medical records.  “Bethany Young” has to remain dead, or Jessica and/or Peter might start searching for her.   She pays off some cops and people in the morgue and is able to alter paperwork, and steal the body.  

She noticed Jessica and Charlotte together, and eventually figures out how Charlotte fits in to the story.   When she first approahces Charlotte, Charlotte does not believe her.  She thinks it is Spencer trying to figure out where Ali is, if Ali is alive, and that she still wants to find her and hurt her.  Once Alex gains Charlotte’s trust, and Charlotte realizes how awful Ali was to Alex, Charlotte becomes a double agent, though doesn’t immediately tell Alex that Ali is still alive.  (Alex is still wondering what happened to Ali’s body)

Alex tries to burn the girls to death in the lodge fire, and that is the night she realizes Ali is still alive.  However Ali goes immediately back into hiding.  Alex then spends Season 4 trying to find Ali, and using the Liars to do so.   It is Alex that kills Mrs. D, and Mary takes the fall for her (as she did for Spencer with Eliot)  Once Alex heard thought Mona (via Shana) that the girls found Ali, Alex knew that Mrs. D that had to die, because Alex couldn’t have Mrs. D spilling the secret that Spencer had a twin.  

Alex has also realized that Charlotte had been lying to her about Ali, and that is why Charlotte agrees to “take the fall” as Big A- to protect Alex.  Season 5 up to Charlotte’s reveal is about laying the groundwork to have Charlotte take the fall with everything wrong done towards the girls.  At this point, Alex is mostly done with revenge, and just wants to live her life out with Wren, Mary, and eventually Charlotte (once she is released). Then Charlotte is killed, and Alex is denied her family.  She thinks one of the Liars did it, though doesn’t know which one.  She enlists the help of Mary, Eliot (Charlotte’s true love), and Wren to help figure out who killed Charlotte.   Then… Alex starts to fall for Toby.  While Alex had never really been jeaous of Spencer’s life before (I mean, who would with Peter as a father?), she did start to covet Toby.  There were two problems here- Yvonne and Wren.  Alex believed she could deal with Wren, though Yvonne would have to go.  Therefore, she set up the car accident, and while Toby was knocked out (and before help arrived) further injured Yvonne so that her injuries were mortal.

Next, she had to convince Wren that she would kill Spencer, and take over her life, allowing her to be with Toby.  This met with more resistance than she expected, and she eventually killed Wren, worried that he would tip Spencer off.   Alex knows she is playing the long game with this, and uses Aria and Ezra’s wedding (with Toby’s return) as her in to fully take over as Spencer and work toward getting Toby back.  As for Mary, it could go either way as to whether she knew Alex’s ultimate plan to take over as Spencer until the very end.  I am going to say that until Spencer was kidnapped, Mary did not know, and by then, it was too late.

Adding- This would also explain a few other things. One, that Ian eventually figured out that Alex was Spencer’s evil twin and tried to kill her to protect the Hastings family.

Trying again…

That first bit, about Ian trying to kill Alex in the bell tower is not mine, I read it on here from someone else.

Now, what Ian doesn’t realize is that it is Spencer with him in the bell tower, not Alex. It is actually Alex that saves Spencer and pushes Ian, because Alex wants to end the game on her own terms. She enlists Wren to help stage Ian’s suicide.

That night, Melissa starts to suspect something seriously wrong with Spencer. It is only after Ian reveals to Melissa before his death the knowledge of Alex being alive, that it starts to make sense for Melissa.

Melissa shares this with Garrett, which is why he starts treating Spencer as shady- he isn’t sure who he is talking to.

Melissa, Wilden, and Garrett learn Alex will be on the Halloween train, returning the body. They decide to kill Alex that night. Wilden mistakenly attacks Spencer, thinking she is Alex. Thankfully, Paige saves the day, though Alex sees this and realizes what is going on.

She kills Garrett, shoves him in the pine box, and takes his phone. Then she lightly drugs Aria, shuts the pine box, and uses Garrett’s phone to text Wilden and Melissa that Garrett has captured Alex and sealed her in the box, though needs help pushing her off the train.

That is what Melissa and Wilden are arguing over- waiting on Garrett to push the box off the train. They hear Aria scream, though think it is Alex.

After that, Melissa is always shady around Spencer because she is never 100% sure of it is Spencer or Alex.

SO GOOD

PLL 6x11

But consider:

Alex being the one who hit Bethany That Night and it was her who Spencer saw. Spencer just assumed she was the one who did this because at this point it was the only reasonable explanation.

Alex being caught on NAT videos. That’s how they found out about her existence. That’s the reason why Melissa was acting so strange, why she was protecting Spencer from “before it even started” and why Ian and Garrett had to die.

It could have been what Maya knew.

Ian knowing about Alex and thinking it was actually her when he wanted to push Spencer off the Bell Tower.

Alex hiding in that creepy, haunted house and watching the girls.

Alex hiding in Jenna’s garage and getting hurt in the fire. Maybe not her face but her body so she still could impersonate Spencer.

Alex being the one we saw in the flashback from before Ali went missing that Spencer doesn’t remember.

Alex stealing the game from Mona because at this point she not only hated Spencer but all of them.

Mona asking Spencer to join A Team not only because Spencer was so smart. Mona noticed there were times when Spencer acted shady. She just didn’t know it was her twin.

Alex switching places with Spencer from the beginning.

Alex making Toby join the A Team and fake his death so she could mess up with Spencer’s head and send her to Radley.

All the British words or references during the show.

How A knew so many things about the girls and nobody never saw them.

Alex being Black Veil and that’s the reason why she needed to hide her face.

Alex dressing up as the masked man in the dollhouse and that’s why Spencer had a feeling she actually knew that person.

Seriously, the list could go on.

It’s all there. They could have used all of this and made it look like it was all planned even if it wasn’t. I’m not saying it would have tied up all the loose ends but it would make much more sense.

So many possibilities. Such a wasted potential.

Jenna recognized A.D’s perfume

When AD took her and gave her the endgame rules, she smelled her, she smell a perfume. A perfume that saved Spencer.

She thought she was talking to Spencer but smelled the same perfume A.D wears and that’s how Jenna figured out who A.D was and saved everyone.

Nice. Love it. This works for me.

I bet this didn’t even cross Marlene’s mind, tho lol.

But what was the endgame book about? Jenna looked all happy and excited about it and then suddenly, out of nowhere, she calls Toby and goes: Yo, that bitch doesn’t smell like Spencer. She smells like AD. Must be an evil twin.

I thought she was working with AD now???

^^^

anyway, I hope Jason’s out there somewhere living his life and dating someone whose not one of his 24578 sisters.

lol

Imagine being Wren and one second you’re an entire person with a personality and the next second you’re an igneous rock.
