Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-87.5.218.76-20140924020302

I want to begin by saying: trying to kill Ali during Halloween 2008, hitting Ali, killing Ian, framing girls for murder... Even hitting Hanna with the car. It was A, right, but not Mona. Mona just did things like "Eat cupcakes. Expose Aria and Ezra to Ella" and things like those...Make Spencer believe Toby was dead, too (it was mean, but it is not a murder, right? And she's not hurting anyone phisically) that's my opinion. Keep reading.

Mona was in the lair before Ali disappearance though (4x24), so there was someone else, an A leader who did the bad things.

Ali in 2x13 "Do I know you?" Mona "You will". That's when we see she was already been recruited as A's minion. And remember someone was watching them from outside with binoculars... So Mona wasn't Big A and didn't attack Ali in the haunted house ;)

All those -A messages, like "Tonight's the night I kill you. --A" weren't from Mona in my opinion. I don't think Mona is a killer. But she's smart. She made the liars believe she felt sorry for everyting, for hitting Hanna with the car for instance - but she never did that. Why did she do that? Because she was still in the A-Team.

If you think about it... In 2x25 Mona said she was A because the liars stole Hanna, her only friend. But... Mona and Hanna were bestfriends in 1x01, it was Mona being A that made Hanna be friend with the liars again!

So the fact Mona harassed the girls for stealing Hanna makes no sense - Mona started it, she loses Hanna after that she begins with the messages.

This makes me think - again - she was following instructions when Aria comes back from Iceland and that Mona was part of the A-Team.

The leader conveniently was helped by Mona into spying or hacking, then decides to expose Mona as the first and original A in 2x25 and Mona accepts of course: he/she didn't steal the game from Mona like she said in 4x01...... BigA was always the same.

But still, I wonder why Mona didn't tell everything to the girls once BigA got rid of her in 4x01.

She started in 4x01 (queen of hearts, Emily massage, etc.) but the girls never really accepted her. Was she scared to be killed by BigA if she reveals too much? Yes. And that's what happens.

Remember it's only two weeks from 4x01 to 5x12, so BigA shut up Mona before she could change her mind and tell every secret to the girls (she joins them in 5x12 and she dies in the same episode. Coincidence?)
