Miss Aria You're A Killer Not Ezra's Wife...
So I was re-watching last nights episode and I came to the scene with Aria and Mrs. Hastings and I heard the conversation differently than I did before.
**THIS IS LONG AND CRAZY** BUT HEAR ME OUT
We all assumed Aria was asking indirect questions about Mike and how he knew about The Mona Thing. However, after i watched the scene a few more times, I realized the vagueness of the questions and the use of “he” specifically could have covered our eyes to what Aria was really asking about. There was one line in particular. “Okay, what if it were serious and SOMEONE ended up getting killed.” Now if we were looking at this scene the way they probably figured we would, why would it be phrased, “someone ENDED UP getting killed.” Especially since we know that Aria and the other liars KNOW Mona faked her death. So after I thought about for a minute I realized that Aria could’ve been asking those questions for herself.
Miss Aria You’re A Killer Not Ezra’s Wife….. Those words have always stuck out to me, even more so because MONA said them. After listening to Mike’s story about The Mona Thing (which, I believe some parts and not others) and how Mona and A had a plan, or deal? I think it sets in more questions about PREVIOUS things Mona said and how it worked with the A that “stole the game” from her, BUT WHAT IF IT WAS NEVER HER GAME, she just got a lead role?
I know this feels like a rabbit trail to nowhere, but hear it out.
After Mona is put in Radley, we see someone in a Red Coat come to visit her and Mona told them that she did everything they asked her to. That leads me to believe that Mona as A was the first plan that the had together. Think about it. Its quite brilliant. Mona being the decoy A this whole time, was the first plan BIG A had.
rosewood spy has a AWESOME crazy crack theory about Aria that leads me to believe this trail I’m on isn’t so crazy. I encourage you to go look at that theory because in it, she has this thought that Aria was alone when she found Byron in his car, and that she saw ALI and not Meredith. There is so much more to it in her theory to read about and it all makes awesome sense. So looking at that, IF Aria was alone when she turned that corner, and really did she Ali and Byron, when she ran away, she would’ve ran into Mona. Which is where I think this relationship between Aria and Mona really kickstarted. Go read her theory and let me know if you agree, anyway back to business.
If we look back, Aria and Mona’s interactions always seemed odd/off. One interaction in particular was when Hanna and Aria went to visit Mona and she said MAYA KNEW. We have all been trying to figure out WHAT MAYA KNEW but Mona told us what she knew, WHILE telling us THAT. SHE. KNEW.
Miss Aria You’re | A | Killer
Miss Aria You’re | A | Killer NOT Ezra’s Wife
Also, take note that when Mona said this Maya had already been killed. Making sense yet? It will.
It is no coincidence that the night Mona was reveAled was the same night Maya was killed, because there are NO coincidences in Rosewood.
MY THEORY: Maya was never supposed to be killed, and Mona wasn’t supposed to be reveAled yet. Aria |BIG A| only did it(with the help of a minion because she couldn’t get her dress dirty) because MAYA KNEW about Mona and Aria and Aria being BIG A and the first plan. I know it is a crazy stretch, but I think its believable.
I wrote a theory last night about how i think there is a TEAM AGAINST A, the AATEAM. I believe Maya was apart of that team. We have seen Maya be skeptical of Emily’s friends and also we have seen her at Noel Khan’s cabin, and I believe Noel is on the AGAINST A team as well. We have seen him be skeptical of ARIA and EZRA in particular. The two could very easily be working with the group of people I believe are AGAINST A.
In “The First Secret” we see Mona in the cat women costume and she looks ANYTHING but nerdy. However, we see in a few episodes later that she remained LOSER Mona. Why would she do that if SHE had all the power? Why would she continue to be a loser unless those were her direct orders. It is hard to get info from flashbacks because sometimes they change and sometimes we can’t trust that they are real, however in “The First Secret” that is the ONLY flashback where Mona isn’t Nerdy prior to Ali being gone. I think that is significant.
Fast forward a few seasons past little things here and there that tie MonAria together and you have another amazingly OFF moment with Aria and Mona at the theater. This scene for me AMPLIFIED their weird connection and Aria’s possible BIG A involvement. If the intro into the scene wasn’t weird enough with Mona being SUPER friendly to someone who is evil eyeing her the whole time, then we see PAIGE come in and if you have read my AGAINST A Team theory then this would be even more off-putting for MonAriA(7 letters.) They both look rather intrigued as to why she is there. Anyway, as the movie goes on we see little snip its of whats happening on screen and then Aria whispers something in Mona’s ear and then she gets upset and runs to the bathroom. IN MY OPINION, Aria whispered in Mona’s ear reminding her of Maya’s Death seeing as though Mona tried to tell Hanna in code that MAYA KNEW and we were still never told how Maya died. Which if you look at the screen, the woman is being strangled by a MAN. Seeing as though, Mona was busy being sent to Radley and Aria had to be a fake friend to Emily, a guy killing her makes since and being strangled seems like such a manly way to kill someone. Now, when Mona gets up to go to the powder room because she is upset, PAIGE looks back and SO DOES MIKE. Again Mike is apart of my AGAINST A Team theory that you should go and read, but i found it interesting that they both looked at Aria like “What the hell did you say that could scare MONA?” Also, the dialogue that we hear on screen before Aria goes to check on Mona in the bathroom is subject to Mona being under Aria’s command. We hear the man say, “Now when I nod my head, you just try to cry out, not that you can’t do it(chuckles). All right now, just WAIT for the nod of my head.” Then Mike says to Aria that Mona has been gone for a while, Aria says she’ll go check on her and then we hear the person who is on screen start whimpering. Which in case you didn’t notice, Mona just got done crying.
Now moving on to another scene in itself, that happened just seconds later, “THE POWDER ROOM SHOW DOWN” as I like to call it. Mona is crying and Aria says in a “OMGOSH ARE YOU OKAY” tone, “Mona?” And Mona rolls her eyes and says, “You are very good. You know right where to put the knife and you’re not afraid to twist it. Alison underestimated you.” Aria does her usual and says, “Look, I’m sorry.” Mona knows thats crap of course and rolls her eyes again in kinda disbelief that she could possibly be sorry and says, “Don’t insult me. But you know you’re right. Your dad should hate me, he should throw me out of the house. After all the things I’ve done to you, the way I treated Mike. He deserves someone much nicer than me. He deserves someone who is nice, which I am not. Maybe I should’ve just died when I fell of that stupid cliff!” Aria chimes in with what sounds very much like an order, “DON’T SAY THAT. Mona don’t EVER say that.” Then Mona still crying says, “Im just trying to protect myself. It’s all Ive ever been doing. Protect myself from HER.” Aria looking confused and upset at the same time says, “Is that why you built and army?” Mona replies, “Its hard to keep the troops in line when Ali offers them candy and smile and that lilting little laugh.” Mona then snaps out of it, fixes her hair and says, “You know, maybe you won’t believe this, but I’ll say it anyway, when she finishes with me, she’ll come after YOU. And then the others. She can’t trust you anymore. Not after Cyrus and not after New York.” Now as Mona is saying these things Aria looks like she is calculating something in her head. And then hearing ‘New York’ she snaps out of it and says very firmly while stepping towards Mona, “What about New York?” and Mona replies, “I know some things. And I can guess at some others.” While Aria is calculating what she just said, Mona adds, “ I have to ask you something.” “What?” said Aria very nervous about her question. “Do you think Mike really likes me?” Aria relieved at the innocency of the question lets out a sigh of relief and doesn’t say anything. *END SCENE*
OKAY SO TIMEOUT HOLD THE PHONE SHUT THE FRONT DOOR. THERE ARE SO MANY CLUES IN THIS CONVERSATION:
1. There are the obvious tells that Aria is shady, “you know right where to put the knife and you’re not afraid to twist. Alison underestimated you."
2. Aria basically gives her a demand when she says, "DONT EVER SAY THAT” and Mona just listens to the girl SHE has been “torturing”? No.
3. BIG CLUE! Mona said she built her army to protect herself from “HER”. SHE NEVER SPECIFIED WHO SHE WAS PROTECTING HERSELF FROM. Now if Ali is on the AGAINST A Team like I believe she is, or maybe even the leader of it, it would make since that Ali tried to steal Mona’s army away. Let me connect the dots for you.
DOT #1- Mona doesn’t feel safe around Ali, WHY if she had been sending her threats? | DOT#2- Ali has been HOT on the A trail since she got the first threat. | DOT #3- Mona is DECOY A for BIG A which is Aria, meaning if anyone is going to get heat about A stuff it would be MONA. SO… | DOT #4- She makes an army and says the reasoning is that she is afraid of Ali the same way she was when she was loser Mona. That is where I think the whole FRAME ALI AS A plan took off. HOWEVER…| DOT #5- Some of the people she asked to be in this army ARE PROBABLY ON THE AGAINST A TEAM. Therefore…| DOT #6- Ali tells them all about MonAriA and their plan, MAKING THE (AATEAM) bigger and stronger. Marlene said we would feel bad for A by the end of it. Which makes me think that the three others liars are going to realize that there is a team out there ON THEIR SIDE(even though the liars incriminate themselves every episode) and join with them to bring down BIG A and everyone who works for her. So essentially the entire show would be flipped and the majority of our supposed suspects of A are the huge group of people bringing BIG A and her team DOWN. It would be like the predator becomes the prey. ITS GENIUS> and would also make us feel bad for A.
Some people say that they would never feel bad for A because of everything they have done, but if I am RIGHT about to AATEAM then not every black hoodie doing suspicious stuff, would be from BIG A’s Team.
SO there you have PLL fans. My crazy MONARIA- MAYA KNEW theory. Thanks for getting to the end of it you did. I know it was absolutely crazy but hopefully you thought it was as fun as I thought it was. Let me know if you have anything to add or if i have missed something in my findings that needs to be fixed.
