So, after reading some of the 'they reshot the finale' theories, I just find myself thinking, 'in what world does that make sense'. Screentime is negotiated and signed in contracts, certain amount of time, per episode, per a number of episodes, per season. Re shooting the finale would effectively be adding another episode to the season, since they can't just say 'oh, that one doesn't count, you're not getting paid for it.' So, they'd have to renegotiate contracts, they'd have to pay everyone involved for an extra episode. They'd have rack of the expenditure of all the special effects, again, they'd have to create any new sets that would be needed for the new story. They'd be going an entire episode over budget. All of this not even factoring in the time factor.

And this goes all way beyond Pretty Little Liars and right into ABC Family's territory. In simply doesn't make any kind of sense that they would reshoot the finale.
