"A" is the main antagonist of the series. "A" is an anonymous character who sends threatening messages to Alison DiLaurentis, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields and, recently, Mona Vanderwaal.

Appearance
"A" makes appearances as a figure with black leather gloves, a black hood, dark pants, and dark shoes. Throughout the seasons, the story focuses on the mystery of "A." However, A has sported many different disguises, including the disguise of Red Coat.

History
Mona, using the nickname of "A," began bullying Alison through texts and other written messages, while also stalking her. At one point during Labor Day weekend, she even threatened to kill her. Mona never actually seemed to mean the text though; however, someone did end up trying to kill Ali that night, although it wasn't Mona. After Ali's supposed "death," Mona temporarily stops playing her game, until a year later, when Aria returns to Rosewood. After this point, Mona cyberbullied Alison's friends using her signature nickname of "A" until she was caught during the Season 2 finale and sent to Radley Sanitarium. It is revealed that while Mona mostly acted alone during the first two seasons, a brand new "A" had taken over the reigns from Mona while she was in Radley for five months. This person, Uber A, had presumably started a team of people to threaten the Liars. This A-Team at one point consisted of Toby Cavanaugh, Spencer Hastings's boyfriend, who was only part of the A-Team to protect Spencer and gain information on Red Coat, who they presumed to be Uber A at the time. What started out as a simple bullying tactic had turned into a deadly game, and Mona had also agreed to do Red Coat's bidding until the Season 3 finale, when Mona was finally cut from "A" completely.

In Now You See Me, Now You Don't, one Red Coat is revealed to be Alison, while the other is still presumably Uber A. Uber A, the true A that "stole" the game from Mona, has yet to be revealed, and his/her intentions are unknown.

Each of The Liars receives a text from "A" tying in a secret from her past with present-day events. When Ezra Fitz sees Aria in his class the first day of school, Aria receives a text from "A" implying "A" knows they hooked up and also knows about her father's affair with his student. Emily finds a note from "A" in her locker after swim practice that reads, "Hey Em! I've been replaced. You've found another friend to kiss! -A," referring to a kiss she and Maya shared the previous day. Spencer receives a text from "A" as she stands at her window, watching Melissa and Wren kiss, saying, "Poor Spencer. Always wants Melissa's boyfriends. But remember, if you kiss I tell. -A." "A" sends a text to Hanna, who lost a significant amount of weight over the last year, after she is arrested for shoplifting that says, "Be careful, Hanna. I hear prison food makes you fat. -A."

After Ali's funeral, the Liars all receive the same text from "A": I'm still here, bitches, and I know everything. -A."

Can You Hear Me Now?

The Liars try to avoid "A"'s messages by blocking unwanted emails and calls on their cell phones. "A" still manages to infiltrate though, throwing a crunched up flyer in their direction and later, by breaking into Spencer's home and scrawling a message on her mirror in lipstick. "A" also creepily arranges the broken flowerpot in Spencer's kitchen to look like a tombstone. When Spencer is escorting Wren to his motel room, "A" calls in a song dedication to the radio station, to which Hanna is listening.

Reality Bites Me

"A" sends Hanna a video of the LIars taken from inside Spencer's closet, and they realize that "A" was hiding in there while they were. Later, "A" sends Hanna the photo booth pictures of Emily and Maya, exposing to her that Emily is gay. Ezra sees a text from "A" on Aria's phone that hints at their relationship and, assuming she has told her friends about it, breaks up with her.

There's No Place Like Homecoming

"A" custom designs fortune cookies for the girls and somehow slips them into their bags of Chinese take out. "A" also tampers with a Tarot card at the fortune telling booth leaving Spencer a message. At the end of the episode, the black hooded figure is seen vandalizing a Rosewood town sign. The figure sprays paint over the last digit in the population census (the 8 in 7988) and changes it to 7987. It is possible that "A" is referring to Emily but this is unknown.

The Homecoming Hangover

Emily sees a smashed-up motorcycle in front of Toby's house, and when she tells her friends about it, "A" texts her, "Thanks for getting Toby out of my way. -A" A gloved figure (assumed to be "A") is seen pulling the sheets of Toby's file out of the water at the end of the episode.

Please, Do Talk About Me When I'm Gone

Spencer receives a text from "A" threatening her to do Ali's memorial "right." At the end of the episode, it appears "A" is destroying her memorial, but it is later revealed to be Lucas Gottesman.

The Perfect Storm

"A" torments Emily by reminding her of a letter that she had once written to Alison in an angry mood. "A" slips the letter into a copy of 'Great Expectations' and cues Emily to find it, letting her know that her secret crush on Alison is not so secret. At the end of the episode, the black gloved figure anonymously sends a file to the Rosewood Police Department. The file contains footage of Alison the night she disappeared. Before filling in Anonymous in the top left corner of the envelope, "A" scrawls the letter A then a few seconds later, fills in the remaining letters. This leaves no doubt that "A" and the black gloved figure are one and the same.

Keep Your Friends Close

"A" leads Aria to a poem by Ezra Fitz which is left in Aria's locker. In the same episode at the climax of the episode, Hanna seems to figure out who "A" is while spying in the forest.

Just then the girls receive a text from "A" claiming responsibility for the hit and run.

Moments Later

In the hospital after her accident, Hanna tells the girls that Noel Kahn wrote the message on the back of Ezra's car and he is presumed to be "A". However this is proved untrue when "A" plants the answers to three midterms exams in Noel's locker because he was going to tell the principal that Aria and Ezra were dating. "A" also leaves a message on Hanna's cast, meaning they paid her a secret visit while she was in her hospital room.

Salt Meets Wound

Hanna gets back to her house and Mona decides to throw a "Welcome Back Party" By the end it, the money Ashley had stolen from the bank is missing and "A" can now blackmail Hanna. If she does what they say, Hanna will get her mother's money back. "A" then begins to leave Hanna notes with bills, attached in the most public places including her locker. He/She also continues to taunt her and reiterate that Hanna is under his/her control. In the same episode "A" decides to break up Spencer and Alex by confirming Alex's opportunity to go to Sweden even though Alex did not want to go.

We then see "A" slipping the hundred dollar bills from Hanna's kitchen into a creepy clown piggy bank.

Know Your Frenemies

"A" torments Hanna continuing with the blackmail in exchange for Ashley's stolen money. "A" forces Hanna to consume half a dozen cupcakes at 'Lucky Leons' which "A" pre-orders his/herself. Later "A" decides to give them the entire video of Alison's disappearance. That is when the liars suspect Ian as the murderer of Alison. Right after viewing the video, they chase after "A," but he/she has time to hide in the woods while the girls go back into Spencer's house.

Careful What U Wish 4

At the end of the episode, it is revealed that "A" had been among the guests at the school's dance marathon. Acting as a coat check, Ella gives "A" back a pair of black leather gloves and a black jacket, bidding him/her goodnight. Clearly "A" had gone to the dance in order to dictate Hanna her dance instructions for the evening and deliver Hanna's pay check to her coat pockets.

If At First You Don't Succeed, Lie, Lie Again

It becomes clear that "A" had commissioned the bead lady to fashion a fake Alison bracelet and a fake Jenna bracelet, placing the order under Spencer Hastings' name. At the end of the same episode, the eccentric old woman prepares a cup of tea for her house guest. The black gloved figure takes it from her as the lady comments on the beautiful black gloved figure's eyes. She also tells the guest not to worry... she has done everything exactly like the black gloved figure told her to do.

Je Suis une Amie

At the end of the episode, the black gloved figure is listening to a record playing a French tutorial for English speakers while arranging some clue-like objects - there is a wrench, a pipe, a knife and a rope resembling a noose and a marble box which rests on a candlestick which seems fiddled with somehow. The record skips, repeating "Je Suis" (I am) three times.

The New Normal

"A" calls an exterminator to visit Hanna's house under the pretense of taking care of the infestation in the basement. (In directly letting Hanna know that he/she is aware that Caleb is staying with her). Apparently "A" has a sense of humour. At the end of the episode, the black gloved figure approaches Mrs Potter's grave which reads 1929-2011. He/she places flowers on top of it and walks away.

The Badass Seed

In the last scene (after the trophy fallout), it is presumably showing a room in "A"s house. There are four cages, each containing a white rat, animal feed and a wheel. Each cages has one of name of each liar taped to the top of the cage. The cage labeled 'Spencer' is missing a rat however earlier, "A" had planted a phony trophy with rats blood in the props room compartment in the schools drama room for the liars to find.

A Person of Interest

"A" seems to be messing with Spencer and Toby's heads. The Neumann's bag which Jenna had taken from Ian, is filled with ice on the bed of the motel room that "A" must have rented. A recording of Jenna's flute music is playing on the stereo, whereas Spencer actually thought Jenna was practicing inside. At the end of the episode, the black gloved figure is sitting comfortably in a room somewhere, beside a bowl of popcorn, watching the footage of the girl's reaction to "A"'s text on Spencer's front lawn which let them know that Spencer is now a person of interest in Alison's murder investigation. "A" replays the footage of their surprise over and over again.

Someone to Watch Over Me

Monsters in the End

"A" vandalizes the haunted house by scrawling threatening messages in red paint on the mirrors. At the end of the episode, the black gloved figure is seen swiping the key from underneath Ezra's doormat.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

Spencer is saved from being murdered by Ian by a hooded figure that is believed to be "A." This was later revealed to be Alison DiLaurentis. Although, she didn't kill Ian and saw him walk away. After Ian disappears from the church, "A" sends the girls a text assuring them that their nightmare is not over.

After Hanna's visit to Dr Sullivan, A trashes the office and leaves a note on the wall saying NOSEY BITCHES DIE. Although the message isn't signed by A, it is pretty obvious based on Ezra's degree and the text message that A ravaged her office after Hanna's visit. At the end of the episode A stages the suicide of Ian Thomas. When the girls run to Melissa's aid, A puts Ian's phone in Spencer's bag and leaves unnoticed. This is the same phone "A" was using when texting Melissa pretending to be Ian.

The Devil You Know

It is revealed that "A" wrote Ian's suicide note. "A" composed the note from old "A" messages he/she sent to the girls. "A" also sends a text to Spencer telling her to admit the truth about Melissa's ring or there would be consequences. As Spencer is about to, "A" calls Ian's phone which Melissa finds and becomes convinced that Spencer was pretending to be Ian. In the same episode, "A" reveals to the girls via video that Ian may not have killed Alison. It reveals the full video of her and Ian on the night of her disappearance.

Never Letting Go

At the end of the episode, "A" tampers with the tapes so that in the middle of the fashion show the screen pictures changes so as to make Alison look like the devil, with fire around and peeling black eyes. The screen flashes, "the bitch is dead," and the music changes from sentimental to hellish rock. The girls flee from the run way as well as Jessica DiLaurentis. Spencer turns it off leaving the audience ill stricken. "A" later projects a note on the screen only when the liars are left which says "My Dresses, My Games, My Rules."

While Emily is with Samara and her friends, "A" sends her a message ordering her to get Zoey's phone number. Emily obviously had not wanted to, but since "A" had the results that showed the presence of the hormones in her body, she had no choice.

Touched by an 'A'-ngel

Emily opens an individual-sized box of Alpha Bits cereal at school to find it only contains "A's," and "A" has left her a message in a plastic capsule meant for cereal box toys.

I Must Confess

It is revealed that "A" has been a consistent patient of Dr. Sullivan. While Dr. Sullivan is perusing the files in her office, a black hooded figure is seen standing outside her window, watching the woman inside. Dr. Sullivan scans "A's" file, which shows that "A" has an obsession with revenge and refers to her enemies as "nosey bitches." The file also states that "A" wouldn't kill him/her self, only others. Dr. Sullivan calls the girls, wishing to tell them who "A" is. They show up to her office, but she is missing, something for which "A" takes credit in a text message.

Next, a waitress approaches the table where "A" is sitting, fills her coffee cup and inquires how her pretty-eyed patron is doing.

The First Secret

In this prequel episode, "A" sends Alison two texts, one when she is in the costume store and one at the end. From the second text, it becomes clear that "A" had posed in the doll-mask and burlap cowl while in The Haunted House and possibly also in the costume store. "A" had been the one to fight Alison with a butcher's knife and push her around. Alison had gotten away though when she kneed "A" and ran for it.

The liars trick "A" by pretending to fight with each other over "evidence" of "A's" identity, which in reality doesn't exist. They hope this will reveal A's identity to them by forcing "A" to meet them in person. This plan fails, but they come away with "A's" cell phone.

A Hot Piece of A

At the beginning of the episode, someone calls the phone from a blocked number.

UnmAsked

The Liars take a room in the Lost Woods Resort motel. They stay in room 1--the same room Alison stayed in while she was alive—while, "A," lurking in the shadows, weaves in and out of their room without the girls ever knowing. She even visits while Hanna is in the shower, though "A's" intentions are unknown. She also spies on them from room 2, where "A" has presumably rented her own room.

At the costume ball, Mona shares with the Liars a story of how Alison, dressed as Vivian Darkbloom, had been spying on someone in a costume shop the week before she died. This prompts Spencer to realize that Alison had been searching for "A" all along and must have rented Room 1 in the motel in order to spy on the person in Room 2 - "A!" Together with Mona, Spencer sneaks the key from the desk and goes into Room 2 to find A's lair. Spencer is freaked out; the room is covered with pictures of all the Liars and Alison. There are Bratz Dolls that resemble each of the five girls perched in "A's" dollhouse.

Then, when Spencer spots a gum wrapper of the same type that Mona offered her, in Alison's stolen diary, she suddenly becomes suspicious. When she sees the bag of cashmere sweaters, the understanding that Mona is "A" dawns on her. She turns around to confront Mona, who is now wearing her signature black hoodie. Mona knocks her out with a flashlight in return.

Next, Spencer finds herself riding in the front passenger's seat of Mona's car. Mona threatens her to join The "A-Team" or die at gunpoint from Mr. Hastings' stolen gun. Spencer gets Mona to reveal her motive. She is angry at the liars for stealing Hanna, the only friend she ever had. She claims to be over Alison and the way she had treated her. Spencer uses her phone to convey the message to the other liars, and Mona, without knowing it, is caught on video conversation for the other three liars to hear. Hanna is devastated when she learns that Mona is "A". Spencer lets the girls know where Mona is taking her by warning Mona that if she doesn't slow down, she won't make it to Look Out Point.

The girls move fast to go rescue their friend. Hanna catches up to the other two with her car and stops just short of hitting "A" with her car in anger. "A" runs towards Spencer and starts to fight her near the brink of a cliff. The other girls jet out of the car to help, and as a result, Mona falls several feet into a state of unconsciousness.

Later, the police declare "A" alive, and Dr. Sullivan returns to town to comfort the girls, revealing that "A" was threatening her son which forced her to flee. The police take her to a room with a one-way mirror. The girls look on with Dr. Sullivan who reveals that Mona has a personality disorder that causes her to be in a state of hyper-reality and mixed with her high intelligence level, it fueled her feelings of omnipresence and omniscience, while Mona has a monologue inside her head. She is unrepentant, cocky, and reveals that having the girls feeling safe and leaving their windows open and their doors unlocked is exactly what "we" wanted.

Later, Mona is sent to a mental institution. There, someone in a familiar red jacket comes to visit. Mona tells her: "I've done everything you asked me to," suggesting that "A," is in fact, working for someone else and Mona is perhaps part of a team of "As."

It Happened 'That Night'
 * -|Season 3=

Blood Is The New Black

Emily finds a necklace inside her bag (presumably from "A") that looks like human teeth, spelling "dead girls can't smile." "A" was also seen watching Ella as she grades Emily's test paper. Aria finds another grave present in her locker; a single earring she put into Alison's casket to remember the times they spent together - the earrings represent the one time they trashed her dad's office pretending to be his college-age mistress. Aria then gets a text from "A", threatening to out her to the police if she doesn't tell her dad. At the end, "A" is seen buying various black sweaters and gloves while wearing a red hoodie. The cashier says, "You buying this for a team?" It might refer to the "A-Team."

Kingdom of the Blind

Crazy

The Lady Killer

Many of "A"'s actions in the episode show "A" setting up an attempt to frame Paige for Maya's murder, which ultimately fails because Nate kidnaps Paige on her way to the cemetery and ends up taking the blame for the murder.

While at the cabin with Nate, Emily is woken by a phone call on the cabin's land line, and a digitally-altered voice warns her, "You have one minute... Get out!" At the hospital later she receives another phone call, and the same voice says, "Emily, I owe you one." It is assumed this is an A-team member because the same voice is heard and associated with "A" in some future episodes.

At the end of the episode, Mona is seen wearing a nurse's uniform and going into Radley. The hooded "A-team" member she is talking to is revealed to be Toby Cavanaugh, and it's implied he has been on the team for a while.

An "A-team" member dressed as the Queen of Hearts puts unknown drugs in Aria's drink, in one swift motion. Aria writes her name in condensation on the train window to communicate it over loud noises, and after she is abducted by "A," the other letters are wiped away leaving only A behind. Spencer receives a text from "A" that says, "Guess who won't be making it to the end of the line? – A." Aria is locked in a crate with Garrett's corpse, and unknown "A-team" members attempt to push the crate off the moving train.

She's Better Now

Mona-Mania

Hanna, Spencer, and Emily go back to the basement to get Ali's diary only to find it swapped with a blank one with a note from "A". A hooded figure was also in the room but got away.

It is assumed that "A" tampered with Brad's bike so that Mona could join Academic Decathlon, a club which Spencer is in. They later would compete for the team captain spot, Mona would win as Spencer would become to cocky. Mona, as "A", was revealed to be outside of Byron's office and when he leaves she is talking to someone. Another "A" is shown covering the Caleb look a like mask and the Queen of Hearts mask under some leaves.

Misery Loves Company

Toby, in his "A" hoodie, talks to Mona, who is disabling an alarm system, about "tomorrow's" plans in the "A" lair. "A" set Hanna up for a fake interview in an empty, except for faceless white manikins, bouquet store. When she enters, "A" chases her until she falls down. "A" precedes to leave, with (maybe) unknowingly leaving behind the "A" key. Hanna picks up the key and heads to Spencer's, she also texts Emily to meet her there. Spencer ends up getting the key and later places it in her kitchen counter drawer, in front of Toby. "A" is seen breaking into the Hastings household and looking threw the drawer. "A" hears Spencer's voice and stands still, revealing their face. Toby. When he turns around, she throws the key down, and walks towards her. Toby says her name and she slaps him. He asked how long she knew and she showed him his Radley I.D. card, that was seen earlier in the episode. As Veronica enters the kitchen, Toby leaves. Spencer's goes to Toby's to get him to say it wasn't true, but ends up crying on his doorstep. A hooded figure is seen adjusting the blind's and sitting down at the table, Spencer set up. The hooded figure, Mona, is seen drinking wine, having a piece of lasagna in front of her, listening to music and in the end, seen smiling. It is assumed that Mona changed Toby's locks.

Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Inferno

"A" sets up Spencer by sending a text from Aria's phone, causing Spencer to confront Ezra in the park about breaking up with Aria, inadvertently informing Ezra that he has a son, and Aria knew about it.

The Liars realize that "A" was threatening Ali, too, when they find notes from "A" hidden amongst some of Ali's belongings.

Dead to Me

Spencer goes to the new "A" liar, only to find it empty - in pictures wise. Emily has a flashback revealing that she stood over the grave, while "A" was digging up Alison's body. When she wouldn't stop yelling at them to stop, "A" got out of the grave and covered her mouth to shut her up. Emily also sees a women in a red coat watching. "A" is seen buying Whiskey and showing the clerk, Kyle, his/her ID, but right as the ID is about to come out of A's wallet, the scene fades out.

What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted

"A" continues to torture Spencer about Toby and warns her not to tell anyone that Toby is part of the "A-team." It is revealed that "A" placed the whiskey on Jason's porch and was watching him and Emily. "A" tempered with the elevator which end in Jason getting hurt. "A" has four bottles of Whiskey with the girls faces on them. He/She places an empty one in the middle and gives it a spin. It originally lands on Aria, but another "A" turns it around to land on Spencer. The other "A" sets down two glasses and pours them a glass of Whiskey.

Hot Water

Spencer notices the Uber A spying on her, but disappears before Spencer can follow her. Later, one of the "minor A's" in a black hoodie is seen walking past Spencer's bathroom, while she is the shower. When Spencer tries to leave, she sees the message "A" left for her, and that "A" placed a plunger in between the handles of the shower, locking her in the steam room. Aria would found her just before Spencer can pass out and saves her.

At the end of the episode, "A" is turning on a record and cuts the stems from a handful of roses, which he/she place on a wreath. The words "Deepest Sympathy" are on it.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind

The episode begins with Spencer telling the Liars that Toby is part of the A-team. Spencer receives the wreath of flowers "A" was shown making in Hot Water, and she interprets coloration in the banner to mean that Emily is the next Liar "A" is targeting. Meanwhile, Emily has a difficult time accepting Spencer's story. After repeatedly attempting to contact Toby, she receives a text from him and goes to the address indicated. Emily sees Red Coat walk into a warehouse, and when she goes inside she sees Toby's co-worker, whom she spoke to earlier, and he tells her no girl walked in before her. When he uses Emily's name in conversation, she is taken aback. Emily returns to her car to find her driver's window smashed and a funeral program for Toby in the seat.

Hanna finds Wilden's cop car in her garage. Inside the car, the laptop plays Ashley and Wilden's confrontation on a loop.

After overhearing a phone call, Spencer follows Mona from the coffee shop into the woods, where she finds a corpse with a motorcycle helmet and Toby's tattoo. Before she can pull of the helmet, Mona says, "he's dead," from somewhere nearby, and Spencer begins chasing her through the woods, eventually losing track of her.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken?

Mona visits Spencer in Radley and offers her a second chance to join the "A-Team."

I'm Your Puppet

Aria arrives at karate to pick up Malcolm and finds he has been picked up already, apparently by her, and there is a flyer for a carnival in his cubby. Aria rushes to the carnival and sees a hooded figure with Malcolm, but when she reaches Malcolm, the figure is gone. Malcolm tells her that her friend Alison was the one who picked him up. It is revealed that Spencer accepted Mona's offer to join the "A-team" and was the one who took Malcolm to the carnival.

A DAngerous GAme

Mona tells Spencer in the Lair that they like her plan. Spencer spies on Jenna as "A." Spencer obtains Toby's contact info from the A-computer and secretly meets with TobAy at a diner, where it is revealed that Toby is "pretty-eyes" that the waitress has referred to in the past. Toby reveals that he does not know who the A-team leader is.

Spencer sets up a way for the Liars to figure out she is part of the A-team, and the Liars set up a way to confront her about it. They devise their own plan for the Thornhill Lodge party.

At Thornhill Lodge, Mona, in black A-attire, talks on the phone with someone, telling the person "it's safe to land" and "you're finally getting what you've always wanted." She starts to take Spencer outside to "take care of her," but Toby offers, and Mona accepts. Later the lodge is set on fire with Mona, Aria, Emily, and Hanna inside, and Mona reveals she does not know Red Coat's identity. Meanwhile, Spencer sees a blonde in a Red Coat get out of a plane and walk towards the Lodge. Later the Liars see Ali, who apparently pulled them from the fire.

The Liars plus Mona arrive in Rosewood after escaping the fire and find Wilden's police car, freshly pulled from the lake, parked in front of the church. The laptop inside plays on loop, showing the scene between Ashley and Wilden, then skipping to later that hour as Shana and Jenna arrive to help Wilden. The Liars open the trunk of the car and gasp.

"A" checks all the videos on the computer that was put through the security camera's. "A" looks at the video of CeCe and Jason and pauses to stroke the image of CeCe on the computer. The next video is of Noel and Garrett talking. The hooded figure zooms in on the mystery woman emerging from the dressing room, and nods. The last video is of Lucas and the "baby face" talking. The figure rewinds and zooms in on an individual passing in the background, wearing a red hooded trenchcoat like Vivian Darkbloom's and black boots. "A" copies the videos on a hard drive and deletes the video's on the computer.

The "A" Train

It is also reveled that "A" gave five little girls dolls of the liars. The girls tell the liars that their friend Alison gave them the dolls.

"A" sends Toby a text to have him bring the lair in exchange for information about his mother.

At Darren's funeral, a woman dressed in black with a veil over her face is in attendance. She sits behind Jenna and Nigel during the service. Afterwards, she quickly gets into a limo and leaves.

She is later shown in a lair. She lifts the veil revealing an "Ali mask." When she turns to the side, the left side of the mask has burn marks.

big>Turn of the Shoe

The Liars and Mona go to where they left the lair and find it missing. "A," wearing an Ali mask and black hoody, tries to strangle Mona when she gets back into her car. When Mona manages to get out of the car, "A" jumps in the driver's seat and tries to run over Mona, Emily, and Aria, and Emily injures her shoulder on a rock while diving out of the way.

Toby reveals to Spencer that he gave the lair to "A" in exchange for information about his mother's death. He shows Spencer the file "A" gave him, which includes notes from her last session with her psychiatrist at Radley, which occurred the same day as her supposed suicide.

Hanna adopts [[Tippi the bird from Jessica DiLaurentis and gives her to Spencer. Later, Spencer finds Tippi's cage empty and the window open, and they assume "A" broke in and freed Tippi. At the end of the episode, we see "A" in Mona's old lair, wearing the traditional black hoody and feeding caged Tippi a piece of meat.

big>Cat's Cradle

Hanna worries that "A" is planning on making her mom look guilty for Wilden's murder. Later, Toby remarks to Spencer that "A" has always "felt like a 'she.'"

After Emily's mom and Emily make a scene in front of the school, Aria receives a text from "A" saying, "Cleaning up Rosewood, one mean mommy at a time. Dig we must. Kisses -A." Pam later tells Emily that someone called Family Services, and they suspected all of her recent problems with her shoulder, ulcer, and the police were caused by family problems. Emily immediately assumes "A" was the person who called Family Services. Towards the end of the episode, Emily gets a message from "A" of a picture of her mom, edited to make her look like she is behind prison bars.

At the end of the episode, "A" puts on a record of the song "Dry Bones" and looking at an X-ray of Emily's shoulder.

Face Time

Upon returning home after the conversation with Melissa on the pier, Spencer receives a text reading, "Melissa is guilty of plenty but she's not 'A' material. Kisses."

Gamma Zeta Die!

Ella is attacked by bees "A" apparently trapped under the front hood of her car so they would fly in through the vents. Aria receives a text right after she sees the attack that says, "This is just the first taste of my venom. Kisses – A." Aria goes to her dad and brother in a desperate attempt to convince her mom to go to Austria, where she'll be safe, with her boyfriend.

After "A" apparently calls the cops on Hanna while she is at Cicero trying to bury the gun she found in Ashley's closet, Spencer receives a text that says, "Just a friendly tip. Maybe Hanna and her mom can share a lawyer. Kisses –A."

At the end of the episode, "A" is shown in Mona's old lair, dusting off a picture of Carla Grunwald, the former house mother of the sorority Emily and Spencer visited.

Under The Gun

Emily tells Hanna that maybe it's time to tell her mom and dad about "A," but Hanna receives a text from A with the warning, "You bark, I bite. Say my name, they BOTH get the blame. Kisses – A."

Mona exposes to the Liars that Toby gave the RV lair to "A," and Spencer already knew about it. Later Toby refuses to tell the Liars why he gave the lair away because he is afraid "A" won't give him any more information about his mom.

Emily attempts to anonymously turn in the hard drive from the laptop of Wilden's car, hoping the video of Jenna and Shana helping Wilden will lead the police to new suspects in Wilden's murder, even though Hanna is worried "A" will retaliate if they do. Emily leaves the drive on Lt. Tanner's desk with a note, but "A" apparently intercepts the disk and replaces it with a video of someone with black hair (or a wig) in a Red Trench Coat, holding a sign saying, "GUILTY." Emily tells Lt. Tanner that the video must be a prank. In the final scene, "A" breaks into and hot wires a car, and we see that "A" is wearing an Emily mask, a brown hoodie, and brown leather gloves.

Crash and Burn, Girl!

While digging around at Wilden's apartment, the Liars find an unopened package of (now) decaying steaks with a note that reads, "CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT OUR LITTLE BARBECUE! Kisses, – A."

Emily receives a message on her computer from #4$%{!!*} telling her, "You crashed Wilden's. Now I'll make it all come crashing down. Kisses, – A."

A seemingly-driverless car crashes into Emily's living room, heading straight for where Pam is standing. Pam manages to get out of its way before it hits her, and Emily rushes in to guide her away from the wreckage. In a hardware store in the final scene, "A," wearing a black hoody and gloves, purchases a roll of duct tape, a copy of Home Repair for Morons, and a $50 gift card to the hardware store.

The Guilty Girl's Handbook

At the end of the episode, "A," wearing a black hoodie and gloves, lies in a crawl space and drills holes into the overlying hardwood floor.

Into the Deep

At Emily's surprise party, Jenna is found floating face-down in the lake after apparently suffering a head wound. She is comatose, but she survives the attack, which is assumed to be an attempt by "A" to murder Jenna.

After seeing Jessica is upstairs in her bedroom, Red Coat undrills an small door on the side of the DiLaurentis houseand goes into a crawl space.

"A," wearing a black hoodie and leather gloves, sets an overturned bottle of red wine beside a wine glass on a piano top, picks up crumpled sheet music titled "Any Time," briefly plays part of on the piano, then puts it in an envelope labeled "Toby Cavanaugh."

The Mirror Has Three Faces

Toby receives the envelope with sheet music seen at the end of Into the Deep, which includes a post-it that advises him, "Leave The Lamb alone and go for The Lion. Kisses, -A." Spencer immediately determines that "A" means for them to focus their investigation efforts on Dr. Palmer rather than Eddie Lamb.

An anonymous phone call is made to the police after Veronica visits Mona at Radley To avoid more harm for Ashley's case, Veronica resigns as her lawyer, which the Liars assume was "A's" intention.

[Bring Down the Hoe]]

"A" puts a CD of Marion singing and playing piano in Toby's car. Later "A" sends a message to Toby containing an address and an image of Dr. Palmer's car. Against Spencer's warning, Toby goes to the address to check it out, but it turns out to be a set up, with the police arriving just after he attempts to break into the car.

CeCe Drake is shown in a black hoodie (although her heels and black skinny jeans are not typical A attire), listening to Aria and Ezra talk from outside his apartment door, and it is assumed that CeCe Drake is on the A-Team.

"A" visits the ruins of Emily's living room and plants Ashley's muddy heels in the rubble.

[Now You See Me, Now You Don't]]

A package is delivered to Spencer's house whiles the Liars are hanging out there. Inside are Magic 8 balls for each of them, which spell out the phrase: “If she goes free, you’ll hear from me. Kisses —A” They worry that if the police drop the charges against Ashley, it'll unleash "World War A." The charges are dropped, and the girls receive another package. They open it and find a small white coffin, and inside is a doll that represents Mona. They receive yet another package, which appears to be an empty, black, wooden box. Spencer finds a trick door in the box, and written on a handsaw inside is, "Watch me make a girl disappear. Kisses, -A." The Liars believe they need to find Mona before "A" can get to her.

"A" (whether Red Coat or not) kidnaps Emily from the magic show in Ravenswood (location). The other Liars get a text from "A" that reads “Leger de main (transl. Sleight of hand). Kisses Bitches, -A.” They chaseRed Coat and find Emily in the sawmill, locked in a wooden box that is chained to a conveyor belt moving it toward the spinning saws. As the girls unsuccessfully try to open the box, Red Coat runs out and presses a button on the control panel that stops the belt motion and turns off the saws. A second Red Coat wearing an Ali mask runs is seen running upstairs, and Aria chases after. Aria fights Red Coat, kicking off her mask and revealing her as CeCe Drake. Aria is unable to save CeCe from falling over the ledge, and CeCe's body vanishes when the Liars look away for less than 4 seconds.

Spencer follows Red Coat who turned off the saws to an apartment nearby in Ravenswood. The apartment is assumed to be Uber A's lair, and we see Ezra storm in at the end of the episode (although later it is revealed Ezra's Lair is not connected to the A-team).

A is for Answers

It is revealed that Mona had helped Ali when she ran away from Carla Grunwald. Mona used her powers of persuasion and manipulation to convince Ali that she should dissapear. In the room next to where Mona is nursing Ali back to health we see Mona in A's lair humming and stroking a doll whilst saying 'pretty girl.'

Later on in present day 'A' is searching for the liars and Ali there are shots as 'A' tries to reach the girls with a gun. 'A' breaks a glass window with the gun and then whilst chasing the girls shoots a door open. Furthermore he chases the girls and fires some shots while leaning out of a window to the fire escape, however he/she misses. They then dissapear whilst the girls are running up the stairs, however they come back through a door on the roof just as Ezra also appears. Ezra attempts to tackle 'A' whilst the gun is being shot, the gun then falls from 'A's hands and Hanna is able to retrieve it. Hanna and Aria demand that 'A' takes off their mask however 'A' has other plans and jumps from the current building to another then looks back at the girls and leaves with his/her mask still intact. We find out that 'A' has shot Ezra when Ezra collapses with a gunshot wound.

At the end of the episode we see 'A' dragging a presumably dead Mrs. DiLaurentis to a grave and burying her.

EscApe From New York

A is revealed to be Shana by Ezra at the hospital when Aria awakens him. Shana is attempting to kill the Liars (excluding Aria) at the theatre when Aria makes it there. She picks up the prop shotgun that was previously examined by Hanna in the same episode. Shana shoots the gun into the air and Aria takes this opportunity to hit her with the shotgun which causes Shana to fall off of the stage and die.

Miss Me x 100

At the end of the episode, Uber A blows up Toby and Jenna's house and as one last reminder that she's back and here to stay she sends the Liars an all too familiar text. The scene then cuts to A in her lair with an open box of pizza next to her and a load of packed boxes everywhere seeing as she's moving into a new apartment. She adjusts a police radio and then moves to a box where she picks up a doll representing Alison and positions it against a dollhouse.

Welcome to the Dollhouse

A kidnaps the Liars on their way to prison and place in a dollhouse like prison where they find Mona is alive and A is a man named Charles. In the dollhouse, is a room where Charles has a video with Jessica DiLaurentis three other children; one of them believed to be Charles.

Game On, Charles

Songs of Experience

Charles sends Emily a face-chat request. When she answers the call, Charles films Sara Harvey sleeping and holds a knife near her head. A threatening message appears on Emily's screen to leave Anne Sullivan's office or else someone will die. Later that episode, Charles is standing outside the DiLaurentis house while Kenneth DiLaurentis tells Alison and Jason that Charles is their brother.

Don't Look Now

Charles puts a note in a dark-room in Hollis where Aria goes. The note is attached to a hair-dye bottle and says "You're MY doll, bitch. -A". Aria remembers that Charles cut her hair and made her dye it in the dollhouse.
