Talk:'A' is for A-l-i-v-e/@comment-5456885-20130320233737

Wetpaint is reporting that they will reveal who talked to Mona in Radley in 4.1. Seems like there's two ways to go from it with variants. 1- She is honest about who talked to her and she thought it was Alison. It was either in the normal hallucinatory state that the girls did, or it was someone in a mask who is the real big A that Alison is only a lesser or not-evil version of. 2- She lies about it, and she and Toby are both lying and still evil as most things seem to be hinting towards as their stories don't match up. It would be Alison/Courtney, she knew who it was and lied that she never knew red coat.

Still doesn't quite answer the fire though with either theory, which seems like it will take many more episodes to solve. JMS (Jenna/Melissa/Shana) could have started it as their own side A-team to try to out the Liars. They also could have thought the real A-team was meeting there and weren't aware who was. The real big-A could have started it, and good-Ali was on the plane and was able to help them out, but A thought that she had the liars trapped in the building. It still wouldn't make sense though why Mona and Toby's stories don't quite match up, maybe their plan was thrown off by Spencer or the lack of cooperation and chance that the plan would work so they had to postpone the idea of big-A trapping the liars, so the two of them and Ali had to act helpful until they get another chance to be evil.

In regards to the last episode, it would have been great for them to go to commercial or cut scenes back to final preparations at the lair when Hanna was revealed as red coat in the bathroom. It did seem for a few seconds that she also could have been evil, but then quickly changed when everyone else popped out. They could have made it last a little longer with her as red coat. It would have been interesting as well if Toby was already at the table expecting Mona to come, and Spencer was the one to come. The waitress could have called Spencer "pretty eyes", showing either that she might have been a double agent for longer, or it was just a nickname she likes to use and was of no meaning in 2*12.
