Another rocky and shitty attempt for shock factor. Mona being alive and that he took her captive was the shock factor, they didn't ignore the stupidity of the very fact that if Charles has done all of this, he could have very well gotten Alison. But then again, Alison couldn't have told The Hastings about A and the episode wouldn't have played out as it did.

Simple answer: They needed a loop hole so they episode could move along with shock factor that would create enough buzz.
