The Black Widow

"Who was that freaky woman at the funeral?"

- Hanna about the Black Widow

The Black Widow is an anonymous character that first appeared in "'A' is for A-L-I-V-E." She is, presumably, the leader of The A-Team. She is the  main antagonist  of Season 5.

Series
'A' is for A-l-i-v-e
 * -|Season 4=

The Black Widow attends Darren Wilden's funeral wearing a black dress, black shows, black gloves, and a black veil that covers her face entirely. She is later shown removing the veil, exposing a burned "Alison" Mask, and is apparently a member of The A-Team. Earlier, a mysterious person is seen fleeing The Thornhill Lodge after Spencer figures out her and Toby are not alone. It could have possibly been Black Widow since she had the burnt mask.

The Black Widow will return in as the main antagonist of season 5.

Trivia

 * Marlene originally named her The Lady in Black.
 * After a fan suggested the name The Black Widow, Marlene decided to keep it.
 * She was given the" fan-name" Veiled Griever because she attended Wilden's funeral, and she is 'grieving' the loss of someone and she has a veil on.
 * Based on the burnt mask, The Black Widow appears to have some connection to the lodge fire.
 * When a fan asked Marlene if Red Coat and The Black Widow are the same person, she tweeted back "not ready to give that up yet".
 * Another fan asked about Black Widows identity, and Marlene said her identity is the "Pretty Little Liars Endgame", meaning that could be a second identity for CeCe Drake (In case her Red Coat identity got exposed) and/or the ultimate A.
 * The Black Widow is in real life a spider that kills those she mates with.
 * The Black Widow will make a return in 4B. Marlene told us to keep this character in mind as the events of 4B emerges.
 * The Black Widow is said to be the Main Antagonist for Season 5.
