Alice is the subject of a Halloween special when it takes us to a flash back to Alison telling a story. This scene is a flashback to a Halloween story where it provides the first clue that Alice is A, but it also presents the reoccurring clue which consistently repeats itself. Alice and her twin are playing with dolls- the reoccurring theme throughout the show.

This theme could suggest the last memory which Alice shared with her twin, as this would explain why it's so notable and why Alice uses this as a threat to Ali later in the show. In this horror story Alice is playing dolls with her twin when her twin stabs in her.

Although this appears to be only a story, I think it’s safe to say that no detail should be taken for granted. Also A must be someone whom we have all witnessed, and taken in slightly but not quite enough for it to be prominent.

This act would then inevitably lead to being locked away in a mental institution, the nearest one being Radley. This is because the crime was not only committed by a minor but someone so young that ultimately they did not know the difference between right and wrong, thus they would be considered to need looking after mentally and emotionally. Further to this, the parents of the child wod want to protect themselves and the public so would want to keep their daughter somewhere safe-Radley.

This links back to another key clue, Radley itself. In the show the quote 'it always leads back to Radley' is used, suggesting that A can be found by looking back to Radley.

To tie A to Radley, we must look at all those involved with Radley:

Mrs D. is on the board of Radley, therefore she has the perfect excuse to see her daughter without anyone asking questions. After all a mother's love is unconditional and therefore she would want to keep her daughter's murder a secret but still see her.

Further to this point, it is important to link all other Radley patients to Alice;

Marion (Toby’s Mum) she enjoyed bird watching, as noted from her obituary. This is turn could mean several things firstly that she used to leave Radley and go bird watching, this would be where Alice saw her leaving and gave Alice the know how on how to leave and return to Radley at ease. However it would not explain why Marion ended up dead. Alternatively it could mean that she found new things to watch, people, whereby she saw something that she should not have done and she pushed Marion, resulting in her dealth.

This can be supported by Dr. Palmer whom warned Toby to be careful of the blonde girl. This could easily be Alice, as she is the one who pushed his mother and caused her death.

Also Marion wanted all children to fulfill their dreams, she would have recognized that Alice was of a similar age to her son Toby and when she saw Alice escaping from Radley she became extremely concerned and would have wanted to inform the guards etc. this made Alice worried that she would not be able to leave Radley and therefore she pushed Marion.

This also explains why is was kept a secret because Mrs D. is on the board and she did not want her daughter to face further punishment or to be moved away somewhere else. She had the money to pay of Wilden and moreover she had the knowledge to make him change his statement. He would have thought it was in the best interest, as it would not change Marion's fate and he could have easily been convinced that Marion wanted to kill herself.

Mona was part of the A team and then ended up in Radley and also had knowledge on how to leave Radley, later she says that Red Coat taught her how to do this. Mona was killed because she thought she knew Alison was A, maybe she saw Alice and assumed, naturally that it was Alison. This would then leave Alice with the tough decision to kill Mona despite all her help or to let her expose Alison as A. Mona could have had evidence in the form of a photo/video which would then give away Alice’s identity. Therefore, Alice had no choice but to kill Mona. There are theories which suggest that Mona is not dead, this theory would work with Alice being A, and she is merely hidden away.

When Ali is hit over the back of her head Emily states that Mrs D. would only bury her own child to protect another child. Everyone assumes that this is Jason but Jason being A seems a little too obvious. Meaning that Mrs. D in fact had another child, Alice. Mrs D. repeatedly asks 'why would you do this' when covering Alison with soil. Begging the question what has Alison done to Alice.

When Ali comes back, Mrs D. is found dead because despite her helping Alice previously, Alice now knows that Ali is going to ask her why she did what she did and this could also lead to Alice being found out.

Bethany followed Alice out of Radley and due to the affair between her dad and Mrs. D she was considered by Mrs D. as the other daughter she wished she had. This meant that Alice was jealous and this is why she wanted Bethany gone. She wanted her mother all to herself. Melissa’s involvement explains the rest.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">By being a twin this meant that she had access to the family home and could walk around freely without anyone wondering who that girl was, they would just assume it was Alison. From this Alice had access to all Ali’s possessions such as her diary.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">This is where she learnt the girl’s secrets and this is why she went after the girls. Also as a Radley patient she would not need a great deal of reasoning to go after someone. However, I believe that the girls are collateral damage and just a way of means to get to Alison. By involving the girls she hurts Alison more.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">Alice wants Ali because she got her looked up in Radley,when Ali received a voodoo doll with a label saying it’s my turn to torture you,this would suggest that Ali tortured Alice and now she is looking for revenge.Maybe the story is not quite how Ali recalls it and maybe she stabbed herself to get rid of Alice and now Alice wants to get rid of Ali.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">This would again link back the doll theme.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">Alice is in Radley for a long time which gives her the opportunity to come up with such a thoughtful and complex plan. It would also allow for her to develop a large scale of contacts, gain information and get access to all the equipment needed.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">The only reason why it does not make sense for it to Alice is that A has a lot of money but Alice could steal money, she could have gained money from her mother, she could have gained money from her Grandma’s will. However, she has had the time to save for everything that she has needed.

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">Further support for Alice being A:

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">Eza believes it's Mrs. D because of her intense covering up for Alice

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">ALIson... ALIce

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">A pays the boy in the doll shop to say someone with dark hair is after Ali, throwing them off someone with blonde hair

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">Jason is worried about his mum

<p style="height:1px!important;width:1px!important;">Mr and Mrs D getting divorced could be a result of him finding out infomation
