Hell-o? The REAL Alison is "A" the dead Ali is her insane twin sister Courtney who traded places with Alison/A by stealing her "A for Alison" ring and claiming to be the 'Sane' sister. Their parents bought it and Ali was sent away to the asylum-place Courtney was going to go to. 2 years later she is visiting as "Courtney", and as the real Courtney runs out of an arguement with Spencer, Aria, Emily, and Hanna, Ali/A confronts Courtney/"Alison" and kills her, thinking she can get her old life back, but her parents still believe the twins are each other (That Alison is dead and Courtney is alive when it is in fact vice-versa) and sends her back to the asylum-place. The reason behind Courtney's original check-in to the crazy bin are explained in the Halloween/Prequel episode (The First Secret), when "Alison"/Courtney tells their story to a kid Hanna's sitting.
