Disclaimer: So I had this theory queued for Tuesday Morning before the episode aired, but ever since that one pic leaked from freeform, i thought that it would be a better idea to post it now while this idea is circulating. Enjoy!

 After giving it some thought, mona really did have the most motive to kill Charlotte.

6x11, we see the liars again, for the first time after 5 years. One of the first scenes we see Mona in, was at the Hastings campaign. She asks spencer if she still has nightmares. When spencer doesn’t respond she goes on saying, “3 shrinks, and prescription meds but i still do.”

Mona was telling spencer that she still suffers from ptsd from what charlotte did to them in the dollhouse. She’s clearly still living in fear. Then in the courthouse, mona is prepaired to speak against Charlotte’s freedom, when she suddenly has a change of heart. Mona says charlotte deserves to be free bc radley fucked her up and she could empathize.

The next time we see mona is at Charlotte’s funeral. She doesn’t sit among the liars obviously. But she sits in the very back of the church, with this pensive look on her face. Almost like regret or worry or guilty even. Not the smug mona we’re used to seeing

A few episodes later, spencer has this conversation with mona.

This is again one of those old married couple moments between mona and spencer but this stuck out.  “Accusing other people of something that you’ve done does have kind of a vintage Mona quality”. Keep in mind that in 7x01 Mona (along w the rest) accuse Alison of killing Charlotte and sell her out to A. Now that’s ironic. Mona kills charlotte and blames it on Ali. Similar to how it was mona who hit bethany with the rock, but melissa (who thought it was spencer) ended up with the guilt. Classic Mona.

Now look at this scene: from 6x19:

Emily found the “murder weapon” on top of the two crows diner, where we later learn that mona went and called Charlotte from. This Car shows up and starts Chasing Emily around, nearly hitting her at various times. This driver was relentless, and wouldn’t stop until they had the murder weapon. 

Does this scene remind you of any other scene particularly? such as the following: 

We all know it was mona who hit Hanna with the car despite them being friends, to protect her identity and keep them away from her lies. So it’s clear that when Emily found the murder weapon, mona would stop at nothing to get it back and protect herself.

Then Mona shows up to Hanna’s Wedding shower thing. This is where we learn it was mona who called Charlotte that night from the two Crows. When Emily asks her why, she responds that “Charlotte dilaurentis knew everything about every one of us [mona killed bethany] every mistake every lie every crime and she never implicated us the five years she was locked up. She sat in that hospital like a ticking time bomb”

Cece…😮
