Part of the joy of watching Pretty Little Liars is the buzz of swapping theories on Facebook or Reddit. So choosing just one A.D. theory to read before the finale is a near-impossible task, since every episode seems to spawn dozens of well thought out, inventive new explanations for who the super villain could be.
The argument that Spencer has a twin is obviously both old and hyper popular; Tumblr user The Outlast explained their argument that Bethany is both Uber A and Spencer’s evil twin back in March 2017. But Tumblr user The Best PLL Theories penned their version of the Twincer theory (which is subtly different, but in important ways) in mid-June 2017 and this, I’d argue, is the one theory that’s really essential reading.Sadly, some of The Outlast’s arguments don’t hold water after recent revelations. For example, they argue that Bethany is “the real Black Widow” and that “The first time we were introduced to the Black Widow was in the season 4 premiere titled ‘A is for A-L-I-V-E.” But showrunner I.Marlene King recently revealed to Entertainment Weekly that this A.D. reveal will be an entirely new story and, as such, you won’t be able to figure out the person from clues from before Season 7.
King stated that “all of these last 10 episodes, we’ve dropped a lot of Easter eggs intentionally because we wanted fans to have a really good chance to figure this out. This A.D. is separate in terms of playing the game from those other As.” In contrast to The Outlast’s theory, The Best PLL Theories limits themselves purely to information we’ve gleaned from Season 7.
So let’s explore.As The Best PLL Theories admits, “none of this is overly new. This is just the summation of everything we’ve been talking about…I wanted to put all the ideas into one post, rather than 31529 mini posts scattered here and there.” But here’s where it differs from The Outlast’s twin theory; this Tumblr user doesn’t necessarily believe Spencer’s twin is Bethany. They do consider it a possibility but argue “for this theory, let’s just forget Bethany for a second.” They point out that a whole new character could account for the initials A.D., arguing, “Spencer’s twin could literally have the initials A.D., since we know she would be Mary Drake’s child. Her first name would start with A and the…
