Talk:A is for Answers/@comment-68.200.112.145-20140103100824/@comment-24004040-20140103164040

Tabitha resembled Alison a lot, but it was more how she spoke and what she knew that made them first think she was Alison. But it's not enough as to really mistake them sitting close together. Like CeCe in the show. They first thought she was Alison and they really look alike, but you would never mistake them. They weren't related, so Tabitha and Ali don't look alike as twins.

BUT. In the books we know Ali tried hypnosis on the girls. And that is hinted a lot in the show too. The candles on the photo on the A is for Answers side. Spencer being the only one awake and being totall strange when saying she heard Ali scream. That all other girls were a sleep and they even said that they didn't know when they fell asleep or how, they can't remember. That are pretty much strong hints.

I don't know when Ali wore which necklace or earrings or whatever, but if what you say is true, it could also hint at what happened in the books. When Ali (Real Ali) came back home she met the Liars (Courtney "Fake Ali" really flipped out because she didn't know if the girls saw the difference) but Courtney didn't know about that and they asked her why she didn't wear that halter top anymore.

So maybe it's like in the books where for a moment they met Real Ali, but didn't know that it wasn't their Ali.
