Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-95.86.68.123-20140910183731

I always thought that Uber A is Byron Montgomery, and black widow is someone who is working for him. And I'm pretty sure it either Ashley Marin or Meredith.

And the connection? Ashley and Byron had a secret affair 2-3 years prior to the liars births, thus giving birth to Bethany and a twin (Either male or a female, it dosen't really matter). Ashley lied to Tom by telling him the twins were his. Bethany, around age 3-4, murdered that twin after having some sort of an outrage or a meltdown. Years later (after being sent to Radley under fake name "Bethany Young"), both Alison and Meredith -at different times of course- discovered this. While Meredith was threatened to work for him as part of the A team, (and that was the reason why Mona tried to set her on fire in season 3,episode 14) Alison was a LOT more stubborn than Meredith, and she fought back.Byron was the anonimous person who threatened Alison around the time she got messages from Mona ("original A").

Because of that, Byron hit her with that rock the night she went missing. Mrs. D said "what did you do" to Byron because she also had an affair with him (Bethany talked about it to her therapist in 5X12 in the recording).

Bethany was lured by Ali out of Radley to wear Alison's clothes, injured by both Alison and CeCe to fake her own death, and buried by Melissa, who thought Spencer was responsible. However, Byron, who was still wandering the area after speaking with Alison, saw the murder and hit her with the rock as a revenge for hitting his daughter (Bethany).

Both Meredith and Ashley knows the story, and one of them is Black Widow. Ashley, for obvious reasons (Bethany is her secret daughter) and Meredith, because she's afraid of Byron and his threats (i.e. Maybe he knows some dirty secrets of her, or maybe because she's having mental problems it's making him easier to control her with medication or something...)

Mrs D. didn't say anything about that, scared that she might be labeled as..um...well you know the word. And you would think that she will tell. After all, it WAS her daughter she buried alive. Then why she didn't? Maybe because of Toby's mom? Was she scared she would sent to jail for covering a murder? I really don't know...

Maybe Melissa holds the answers to the mystery. That gal knows a LOT, and she always appears at the most ominous times. Who knows- she might be BW... ;)
