After the special, we now know that Jessica hid the fact that she gave presents to Bethany. So, since there are so many references towards the twins theory, the chances that Alison and Bethany were twins are plausible. Which brings the question - why would Jessica hides the presents? Why was it so important to keep them away from Kenneth's eyes? IF Alison and Bethany were twins, does that means that Alison was never his child? Then why would break them apart? The only explanation that comes to my mind is that they were fraternal twins, and while Alison was passed as Jessica's daughter, Bethany wasn't, since she looked more like her father.

Here is the thing:

Since many fans (me included) believe that the reason that Alison never mentioned Garrett and Jenna at episode 4X24 "A is for Answers" was because she never saw them that night, and the "Alison" that Garrett saw was Courtney (which was identical to Alison), then there is contradiction between that theory and the one above.

But there is another way to explain the whole conflict (I read it somewhere on the wiki, but sadly I can't remember who wrote it):

What if BOTH Bethany and Courtney exists? The presents were meant to both of them, while Alison's dress was under the christmas tree; Bethany is NOT Alison's twin. Garrett saw Courtney. Bethany was the one who died. Jessica asked Alison to lie about the dresses so Kenneth wouldn't know about Bethany and Jessic's affair with Mr. Young.

'''And here comes the most awesome and lame twist that PLL could ever had: Courtney DiLaurentis was the fragile patient who killed Marion. Courtney is very much alive, and together with Alison they are working to bring Uber-A down. That's the big twist Marlene was talking about; Maybe Courtney will be revealed at the end of season 5? '''
