I have actually been thinking about that as well... And i can't help but believe that she really has changed. Here are a few reasons why : 1. In the first episode of this season, when Shana had her gun pulled at Ali, Spencer was holding her hand (or arm idk) and then Ali walked away slowly so no one would get hit (by mistake) but her. I think its something we shouldve noticed.

2. If Ali was to end up evil, it would be too much like the books ! And they clearly said they won't persue with them... It would be too expected

3. Ali has no reason or motivation to manipulate her friends. There is nothing she would get out of it anymore since her friends arent going to be her puppets again anyway. That said, about her relationship with Emily, i dont think that she's playing her either because she already knows that Emily isnt the way she was before... She's way less naive and way stronger.

4. Why would ali get so emotional even when she's alone ? Its not like someone is watching here... I find it hard to believe that shes faking it.

I think this entire season will be about Ali working on getting back her friends trust, abd shes probably gonna struggle with that since Mona has her army against her.
