17. And then when his body disappears.
18. When poor, sweet Spencer has a total breakdown over all the stress from, well, everything, and ends up admitted to the same mental institution where Mona stayed after being caught.
19. …Followed very shortly by Spencer joining the “A” Team.
20. When the girls form a convoluted plan to find the real leader of the “A” Team – currently known only as Red Coat – only to have everyone discover that no one, not even Mona, knows who Red Coat is! Also, Spencer isn’t really working with Mona/A, and neither is Toby.
21. When the sightings of Alison start to get a little more tangible. We’ve seen her in the past talking to the girls, but always when they’re half-asleep or sick or drugged, so you can’t tell what’s real.
- But this time two of them see her in the same place. Buuut it’s while running through the forest and being dragged out of a burning building, so what did they really see?
22. When the season ends on Alison’s hand sticking out of her grave…and being grabbed by someone else, who starts to pull her out.
I can’t remember if I ever publicly theorized that Alison was alive all along, but just for the record, I did theorize it very early on. YOU CAN’T MAKE A FOOL OUT OF ME THIS TIME, PRETTY LITTLE LIARS!
