As we all know, 6x10 is coming up, and PLL has been throwing us curve ball after curve ball and theyāve been throwing us the āIs Charles dead/alive?ā question at us since 6x01 began, and now I can finally tell you with absolute certainty. Charles DiLaurentis is dead. Cece Drake is Red Coat. Cece is endgame. Iām going to explain some things to you right now that is going to make the twist in 6x10 100% worth it.
Mona flipped. Mona is winning the game. Sheās playing both sides and sheās the other black hoodie that was sitting with Red Coat. Mona is going to expose Cece to us all and sheās going to do it for the liars and for Alison. The ultimate character redemption.
In 6x05 Spencer comes home with Dean, she sees Mona walking towards the DiLaurentis mailbox with a card in hand, when Spencer asks what the card was for, Mona said itās for Alison. When Spencer starts talking Mona comes back and looks uncomfortable
Later in the episode, Spencer and Hanna are digging around Radley trying to find proof that Charles is dead- they suddenly hear a loud noise and go to investigate⦠It was Mona, she was trying to sneak Lesli Stoneās file out, but they catch her, they read Lesliās file and say that Lesli was in Radley long enough to not only know Mona, but she wouldāve been in there long enough to know Charles as well. Mona, whom went undetected as A for two seasons, gets caught red handed with a document in hand and just hands it over like a kid caught sneaking candy. She WANTED to get caught with Lesli Stoneās file, she WANTED the liars to know that Lesli was in there long enough to know Charles. And this, my friends is where the brilliance of the biggest plot twist in television history begins.
Now, in 6x06 it opens with Mr. DiLaurentis finding a card on the dash of his car- an invitation to Charles DiLaurentisā birthday party. Obviously, Kenneth freaks out and thinks his dead son is coming back and is out to get him. But no, it was Mona.
Earlier in the episode, the girls become immediately suspicious of Lesli, just as Mona had intended. The girls go after Lesli and track down her car; inside of it, they find fake glasses and cases full of mouse traps- that then lead them to a test facility⦠Where, you guessed it, Miss Vanderwaal is waiting and ready for the liars to barge in and start asking questions, questions that Mona is oh so eager to answer. She says that Lesli told her that Charles escaped Radley Labor Day, the night Alison went missing and the night Bethany was murdered.
Mona cooked up this entire plan for the girls to catch her with Lesliās file so they could see that Lesli was in Radley so long that she could have known Charles, which is EXACTLY what she wanted. She tells them that Lesli told her that Charles escaped Radley, and that the medical files couldāve easily been faked- ergo, they believe Charles is IN FACT ALIVE.
6x06 ends with Kenneth DiLaurentis frantically digging up what he thinks to be his sons grave (although we know Charles was cremated from his files) and EVERYONE thinks Charles is alive and he is A.
Now, 6x07 I thought 6x07 totally got me and I thought Charles was in fact alive⦠Then I thought about it, this person acquired every piece of Charles that they could; I thought back to the soul room, about how everything in it revolved around what seemed like someone they lost. Looking at how they introduced the scene of the movie with Charles, Jason, and Alison, the camera begins with the point of view through a DOLLHOUSE. They were referring back to the dollhouse and the soul room, and then I realized⦠Mona figured it out. She knows Cece loves Charles more than life itself, she doesnāt care why she loved him, but she knows thatās where sheās going to hit her where it hurts. THAT is Ceceās weakness, and THAT is how sheās going to bring her down. I noticed also that the present didnāt have a āTo Charlesā on it, that present isnāt to Charles at all, itās to someone who loved and wants to remember him. Itās also worth mentioning thatĀ āCharlesā aka Mona, didnāt hurt anyone when she met them at the arcade, she just wants the right moment to expose everythingā¦
Now, finally we get to 6x08 and 6x09⦠Itās finally revealed that red coat and someone else is working for her on the A team, everyone thinks this is Charles but really, itās Mona. And hereās where Iām going to start to blend 6x08 and 6x09 together because now that we got some of the photos from Prom for the next episode, I think we may have figured EXACTLY how this is going to go down and who is doing what. So, lately everyone has been freaking out about this Justin Fix guy, and this is where the tuxedo from the ending of 6x08 comes into play⦠Justin (and whoever his name may be in the episode) is going to be a total and complete decoy for Alison and the liars, they hired this guy to make Alison think heās Charles but really itās a trap.Ā
Meanwhile there are TWO RED COATS at the dance, one is real and the other is Mona, just like the Halloween train where Mona was one of the Phantoms and Caleb was the other, Mona is the decoy A and Cece is the REAL A.
This one below is Mona, you can tell from the height difference and the handsā¦Ā
This is where everything is going to happen. Alison is going to think Justin Fix is Charles and then Mona is going to kidnap Ali, sheās then going to tell Ali about Cece and sheās going to chase red coat to Radley⦠There she will learn that Cece is in fact the endgame, that she is A, that Charles is dead. Mona is going to then round up the liars and go to the Carissimi group (the corporation Cece built to basically spy on the liars) and there she will show the liars the cameras Cece has places and show the liars the moment Alison unmasks Cece as A. The cops will then surround Cece after her reveal, the liars and Mona will probably race to Radley as everything starts to crumble and Cece will then run to the roof and jump.
I have to thank my brother in arms and in theories, Nick for helping with this beautiful brain-child, after this is over I have no idea what weāre gonna do with our time. Itās been a pleasure theorizing with you. <3
