“ She's everywhere and she's nowhere. ” — Mona about Red Coat

Red Coat is the secondary antagonist on Pretty Little Liars. Red Coat is considered to be the person who took over "A", and the "A-Team" from Mona Vanderwaal.

UnmAsked

Mona talking to Red Coat (hallucination) Added by Added by GuessWho91



At the end of this episode, when Mona is sitting in her bed at the Radley Sanitarium, she receives a visit from someone wearing a red trench coat similar to Vivian Darkbloom's. It is implied that the person in the red coat is the leader of the 'A-Team' due to Mona saying 'I did everything you asked me to'. However, it has been confirmed that Mona was hallucinating this encounter with Red Coat, although Red Coat did visit Mona in Radley.

Blood Is The New Black

We see Red Coat once more wearing a red hoodie. She is seen buying black hoodies and gloves for her workers. The store owner says to Red Coat: "So, are you buying this for a team?."

The Lady Killer



It is revealed that Toby is the second "A," and is also part of the A-Team. The dramatic irony is that the Liars don't seem to understand that both Mona, and the New A, are simply workers for the Red Coat. In the same episode, we also see Mona, (most likely) talking to Red Coat on the phone since Mona learns from the other person that there is a "change of plans". Since Red Coat is usually the one planning out all of the "A" schemes, it seems as if it really was her.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind



Red Coat appears to Emily for a second time while she is in her car waiting to meet up with Toby. However she quickly vanishes after Emily catches a glimpse of her entering Toby's workplace. It is presumed that Red Coat lured Emily by using Toby's phone.

I'm Your Puppet

A DAngerous GAme





Ali in the Red Coat Added by Added by Harryhogwarts

In "A DAngerous GAme," It is revealed that neither Mona or Toby know who Red Coat's identity. We see that Alison is the one in the Red Coat. Many fans believe this is the A-Team leader while others do not.

" 'A' is for A-l-i-v-e"



A later theory is supported by a quote Mona makes in the Season 4 promo, "I need to find out who Red Coat is. She tried to kill us all.".

Suspects

Brightened picture of Red Coat in the cemetery Added by Added by A.Darkbloom

There have been 4-5 main suspects to who is behind Big A. The following people have been suspected by the Liars: CeCe Drake (seen with a Red Coat in luggage) Alison DiLaurentis (due to Ali wearing a trench coat when hiding from A

The following people have been suspected by the fans: Jenna Marshall (Being against the girls for blinding her) Aria Montgomery (She "ssshhhs" in the opening sequence)

Others suggest that Alison's twin sister, Courtney is the one leading the A-Team. It is highly untrue because in this books she is dead and the writers are not planning on putting her into the show.

Theories

Theory 1

This theory is about the real Alison DiLaurentis wearing a mask. Well we might suggest that Ali wore a mask to throw people off because. If Ali would wear a mask people would think "It's not Ali, it was just a mask" but it was actually Ali wearing a Mask.

Theory 2

This theory is about Two Red Coats. It is impossible Alison is alive because there was a body found but maybe the body found was her twin. When Ali became Red Coat for revenge somebody knew this was gonna happen so somebody asked a mask sculptor to make an Ali Mask and this person became the Good Red Coat.

Theory 3

This theory is also about 3 Red Coats (Ali, Courtney and a member). One Red Coat is leading the Bad A-Team and One the Good A-Team but another is just a member wearing a Red Coat to throw people using a mask so the Leader wont be revealed (you guys decide if the member is Good or Bad)

Theory 4

This theory is also about two Red Coats. The first one is Alison (or Courtney, though I don't believe the theory that Ali has a twin). The second is the actual one who torments the liars while Ali is caring for them. I believe that the person who helped Alison (if it is actually Alison) in that last flashback of Season 3 is the person behind this all.
