Talk:I'm a Good Girl, I Am/@comment-26211734-20150311180300

Theory developed with the help of HoneyMoon and Cigana.

Charles is Kenneth's brother. Jessica had an affair with him. When Charles's wife found out, she left him, taking with her their daughter, Bethany, back to her family, the Youngs.

Bethany was not born until after the divorce, so Charles might have never known of her existence. Marion Cavanaugh knew, because she was the pediatric nurse who helped deliver her. Bethany's mom confided in Marion.

Bethany had anger issues, so she was sent to Radley. She met Marion. Jessica began taking her out, and insisting Bethany call her Aunt Jessie. With the help of Marion, and possibly the very smart CeCe, Bethany put the pieces together. She freaked out on Marion, pushing her. CeCe felt guilty, because she had helped Bethany discover the truth, which had led to Marion's death. She had Wilden cover it up.

Bethany escaped Radley to hunt Jessica down. Because she had been talking with CeCe in Radley, whom she believed to be Ali, she wanted to kill Ali in revenge for tearing her family apart, and keeping her from her dad. She had gotten the idea about the tops when CeCe mentioned them in Radley. CeCe had a similar top because, as Jessica had said, Ali and CeCe wore each other's clothes.

CeCe caught on that something wasn't right. She hit Bethany to protect Ali.

CHARLES, who had by now tracked Jessica and Bethany down, finished Bethany's work by hitting Ali. This is why Jessica protected him. She kept her mouth closed. CeCe thought Spencer hit Bethany, so she and Jessica covered that up, too.

Charles hates Jessica, Ali, Jason, and Melissa. He also hates the four because they were Ali's friends. Spencer was targeted for being related to Melissa and Jason, and for being the reason Melissa buried Bethany. Hanna was targeted because she's an easy target. The other two are mostly collateral damage.
