Wren theory time!
I haven’t been a huge proponent of him as Big A, and I know that the general jest of this theory has been mentioned before – but I’ll give it a whirl: 

We know that not only did Mrs. D bring Jason there to that farm, but Spencer’s parents did too.

So, if at least one of those kids is Jason (the one who looks younger), the other kids, I’m going to go with Wren, and baby Bethany.

Which means, he could have very well known Spence & Mel as kids, and grew a liking to them – though he didn’t really have a lasting impression on them.

We know Wren resented his dad, at least at first, for his illness, as he told Han when explaining how she might feel about Mona…so he takes off.

Leaving Bethany behind with the unstable father, who, Mrs. D had the affair with.

(Why she is close to Bethany, and in turn Wren.)

He comes back, after feeling guilty for this,  and wanting to strike up a relationship with Mel,  but unwilling to admit who he really is (but she’s with Ian.)

Now one night – Bethany escapes that night and is killed.

Mrs. D. calls him for help looking for her, and he sees her dead & sees Mel burring her – then comes across Ali in the same top.

Assumes it is Ali that killed her and hits her.

Mrs. D, covers for Wren, because she cared about him, the same way she cared about Bethany.

After Mona is locked up, she opens up to him (”you used to talk to me…”) and through bits and pieces of the game, and from being with Mel & Spencer…he pieces together for himself what happened that night.

''Aria You’re A Killer, Not Ezra Wife. ''

(Mona as A, was blackmailing Ali with this – threatening to take the girls down, which is why she stayed gone. Two can keep a secret…& well, you know the rest.)

''The doll, that he took out of the van, was indeed Aria, but not because she’s working WITH him –– but because she is the one that killed Bethany, mistaking her for Ali. ''

''He hates Ali for giving her the damn yellow top and being responsible for the mix up, wants revenge against Aria and the girls for it (having Jenna remind Em of that night – the guilty sign the girl in the Em mas is wearing)    ––– but also wants to “protect,” this Ali –– Ali as Mona –– because he is projecting her on to his sister. (Making Mona wear the top.)''

The one he couldn’t save.

Thus the “love/hate,” mixed feelings he has towards her.

'Depending on how long ago the affair was, Wren could be Mrs. D’s, making Ali his half sister on his mom’s side. '(Making him the second kid Mrs. D lied to Ken about.)
