Talk:How the 'A' Stole Christmas/@comment-25755332-20141124013203

Everyone knows that there were at least two black hoodies in Mona's house the day she died. I'm sure that Ali was one of them and I don't believe she killed Mona. We also know that the timeline isn't always chronological and corresponds with the course of events in right order. I think this idea could prove that Ali isn't the killer.

We begin in Mona's house. The first person with a black hoodie is walking up the stairs, then we see Mona talking to Aria on the phone. Then we see Mona looking in the mirror saying "Game over, Alison. I win" and she turns around. And a second black hoodie opens the door and I believe that this is the killer (shorter blond wig). Mona's terrified face appears on the screen. And this is the part I think is in false/misleading order. I think the real chronological order is that Ali is the one who is walking up the stairs. Ali overhears Mona talking with Aria and Mona says "Game over, Alison. I win...Mum?" to the mirror. Mona turns around and it's actually Ali that Mona sees and is terrified of, not the killer.

Mona is terrified, because a) she just discovered Ali's connection to Bethany and Ali now knows that Mona knows, b) seeing Ali in a black hoodie and Mona believing that Ali is the real A is scary itself, c) Mona have always been afraid of Ali from the get-go and d) "talk to the devil and she's sure to appear". Now I've no idea what Ali and Mona are talking or arguing about, but I'm certain that when Ali leaves, Mona is still alive. Later on, the second black hoodie visits Mona's house and Mona is killed. But the only scene with the killer we see is he/she opening the door to Mona's room and we see he/she with a black hoodie with shorter blond wig in the doorway. So the conclusion is that the scenes we don't see in the episode are when, 1) Ali actually opens the door to Mona's room and when 2) Mona reacts/faces her killer(the black hoodie with shorter blond wig)

Another detail is the scream we hear. The scream we hear before the soundtrack starts playing is maybe the moment Mona is killed, considering that the scenes isn't in chronological order.
