^ Yes I noticed that. I also found the fact that Meredith showed up around the time to be interesting as well. I KNOW we haven't seen her ever since season 3B. Still, I think she has something to do with Radley.

Why the writers insisted on put such emphasize on the whole affair of Byron and Meredith and its impact on Aria is beyond me. We know that Meredith wasn't the one who left the ear rings on the couch at Byron's office. It's pretty much clear it was Alison. '''But why was Alison so hard on Aria? Why did she put those ear rings there?'''

It reminds an old theory I came up with. Maybe Byron was Bethany's father? We know that he cheated on Ella once, so what prevented him from cheating on her before/again? What if Alison used to torment Bethany while she was at Radley, and was the "fragile patient" who pushed Marion? What if that was the reason why Jessica treated her the way she did, to keep her quiet? What if Aria found out, and decided to "play dirty" with Alison, the same way she used to "play" with Bethany? What if the N.A.T club found out about Bethany, and Aria started to threaten, to kill, to blackmail them in order to keep them quiet about her father's secret daughter?
