There is a small problem with this theory, mainly the timing. I'll admit that Jason was acting sketchy in 4x23, not responding to Emily and Spencer, but remember later that same episode, Jason reveals he overheard Mrs D. and Ali arguing over her bully and about fighting fire with fire. This feels like a decidedly Jason flashback, because Charles certainly didn't swtich with Jason 2 years ago. This flashback establishes a strong basis for Mrs D to be the person behind the Kisses, -A texts, and if that is the case, then Charles just about threw his mom under the bus or gave us a false flashback, which doesn't seem too likely.

So I suspect that Jason was still Jason in season four, (either that or Charles is a really good liar ;)).  That's why i think it is more likely that Charles switched in season 5.  In 5x02 he's cleaning the back of his car(where he stashed his brother's body pre-barrel perhaps?) instead of welcoming his sister home whose murderer and remains he'd been searching for for the past 3 seasons.  There is still the look of horror on his face upon finding his mom, that was enough to convince Spencer, but we could chalk that up to good acting on Charles' part :D

So if they do go the identical twin-switch route, we'll get to see this theory pan out!
