Bethany was buried BEFORE Alison. You realize that this means someone had planned for her to look like Alison that night, so that Ali could fake her death.

In a flashback from 4x24, we see Spencer and Alison fighting, and Spencer grabbing the shovel, threatening Alison with it. Then in 5x11, Spencer watches Melissa’s confession tape. Melissa says she heard Alison and Spencer arguing, and then she saw Spencer walking towards the barn, with the shovel in her hands. Then Melissa found the body, and buried it, thinking Spencer killed Ali.

Alison tells Spencer in 4x24, that she couldn’t have murdered Bethany, because Spencer was sound asleep when Alison returned to the barn after their fight. Meaning Alison was still alive when Melissa found Bethany. Alison waited for an A-text that never came, and then she walked back home. Cece mistook her for Bethany, and hit her over the head. Jessica came out and buried Alison at the same exact spot where Melissa buried Bethany. (Weird that she didn’t discover Bethany when she dug Ali’s grave).

This means that Alison planned for Bethany to die, and for everyone to believe it was herself. Remember, earlier that day, Alison got a text from A saying “Tonight’s the night I kill you”, Alison planned for A to mistake Bethany for her, so that Ali could run away and figure out from a safe distance, who A is. Ali told Bethany what to wear that night.





Edit:

Maybe the liars were sort of in on Alison’s plan? That’s what Alison ment with what she told Hanna in the hospital “The four of you comined remembers more about that night than you think”.

Maybe a fifth person was involved, leading Ali to say this to Hanna as well: “Telling the truth to the wrong person at the wrong time is how I ended up where I am. Take it from me you are always better off with a really good lie”.

Also, during Ali and Spencer’s fight, Spencer said “You’re dead to me already”, like she knew Ali was going to “die”.





Is this A’s real motive? The death of Bethany? And now also Charlotte’s death? Thinking Aria, Hanna, Emily and Spencer was at fault for this, when it’s was really Alison.
