What I’m about to say, I don’t believe has been said in any
other theory before. Yes, there is a twin, an identical twin… And it is someone
we have met, someone we think we know very well and yet don’t know at all.
There are three. Bethany, Courtney, and Charlotte. All identical, only two are
twins, Charlotte is a doppelgänger of both identical twins so you could say…
There are triplets among us, at least there used to be.
Charlotte never meant to hurt anyone, she never did- in
fact, the only things she did usually ended with no one dying, and yet someone…
Someone out there was a cold-blooded murderer. That person is still out there. That
person is who I’m going to name “Courtney” (an ode to the books!).
She killed Jessica. She killed Ian. She killed Garret. She killed
Charlotte. She corrupted and tried to kill Alison. She met with Melissa. She
had the visitors pass. She lived in the haunted house. She went to UPenn. Everything
Charlotte didn’t admit to, Courtney was behind it. She was behind it all. It
was said that Bethany Young was 20 when she died, making her and Courtney two
years younger than Charlotte. Charlotte isn’t the one with the twin, Bethany
and Courtney are identical twins and they look EXACTLY like Charlotte, and I’m
going to prove it.
Lets start at the beginning, the twins story- this is the
story of Bethany and Courtney. We originally thought that Charlotte was the one
with the twin, that the other girl represented Alison… It sounded right but
didn’t really fit, Charlotte never caused any intentional harm to Alison-
therefore she couldn’t be one of the twins. We knew one of them was crazy
enough to stab the other over a doll, that one of them was sent to Radley, and
one of them was dead. Now, in the story- they never said the other twin died
after the stabbing, it is merely assumed she died from the wounds.
Both twins survived, one was insane- the other was not. The
dead twin that we see over and over repeatedly tells us that her sister keeps
telling lies to her parents about her, I think it’s quite possible that Courtney
stabbed herself to get Bethany thrown into Radley. In 3x13, the dead twin shows
up again- she says she called her mother and asked to go home but her mother
started crying. The dead twin then says her sister tells lies about her-
telling her parents she ran away, that they fight all the time.
This could be interpreted as Courtney telling her parents
that Bethany ran away from Radley when she was actually murdered.
How do I know that
Bethany was the non-violent twin? The tapes. The tapes that were recorded
during Bethany’s stay at Radley.
“She’s a bitch. She’s
an evil bitch. I don’t mean nasty or rude, I mean evil! Without a soul! You
could be the nicest person in the world, she gets them to do anything she
wants! 5 minutes with her and you’d drown a bag of kittens if she asked, 2
minutes if you’re a man!”
The person that Bethany is talking about doesn’t fit anyone
on the show that we know of, Charlotte was not evil, and I can’t stress enough
that she repeatedly uses “she” to identify this person. But… There’s more, from
another one of the tapes Bethany had been recorded on:
“Not destructive, self defense! It’s me or her, she’s not
the only one who can make plans!”
Bethany sounded like it was either her or the other- neither could live while the other
survived. (Harry Potter reference for my potterheads!)
Does that sound like someone who would just randomly push
someone off the roof and then blame it on someone else? No… Because the one who
pushed Marion off the roof wasn’t Bethany, it was Courtney. How do you think
Charlotte knew how to get in and out of Radley? Someone showed her how.
I believe Courtney snuck in and out of Radley at will to
cause trouble, that way she could do whatever she wanted and Bethany would take
the blame. She’d take the blame every single time because she wasn’t the twin
that was admitted.
Now, lets take a step back to 5x13, the Christmas episode…
While rummaging through the DiLaurentis house, Hanna found a letter, a letter
from Bethany to Alison. Does this letter sound like someone who has any intent
on hurting Alison?
This letter solves one of the biggest mysteries on the show…
The yellow tops. Courtney sent letters to Bethany pretending to be Alison, she’s
the one who bought the yellow tops, she’s the one who set everything up.
Charlotte following Bethany from Radley back to her house to protect Jessica
proves the fact that she had absolutely no idea there were more than one yellow
top out that night, in fact it proves that whoever set everything up was NOT
Charlotte but someone else.
It’s funny how Melissa and Charlotte were supposed to have
this huge relationship, yet the only time Charlotte mentions her was when it
involved the trip to Cape May. Charlotte supposedly went to UPenn with Melissa,
Melissa supposedly called Charlotte to tell her that Mona was in Radley… But
Charlotte was already IN Radley. She had never met Mona before, she knew
nothing about her, she listened to Mona talk about how happy they were that
Alison was gone… And yet, why did Charlotte need a visitors pass? Why did she
tell Melissa to notify her if Mona was ever in Radley? It’s because Charlotte
wasn’t the one using the visitors pass, it was Courtney. Courtney used
Charlotte’s “Cece Drake” alias to gallivant around, she made friends with
Melissa- corrupted Alison, and caused mass mayhem around Rosewood.
Courtney started the entire thing, from day 1. The attack on
Alison in the haunted house? It was right after the frat party, and right after
Alison started receiving messages… And ironically, right after Alison told the
twin story the first time. Courtney created destruction wherever she went, she
got people in trouble and felt no remorse whatsoever.
The fact that Charlotte, Courtney, and Bethany looked alike
worked for Courtney’s advantage, she could do whatever the hell she wanted
and one or the other would get blamed for it. That’s also why Jessica was
taking “Bethany” out, only it wasn’t Bethany, it was Courtney- she was
blackmailing Jessica for either the existence of Charlotte, or the murder of
Mrs. Cavanaugh- probably both. It was said at the stables where Jessica took
her riding that “Bethany” threw a bucket at Jessica’s head, they never came
back. Courtney then hated Jessica, she started to feed Bethany lies about
Jessica having an affair with their father… This is when Bethany’s drawings
turned dark, this is when Charlotte realized Jessica could be in danger- and
therefore giving Courtney the motivation she needed to kill her twin once and
for all. If Courtney’s plan worked Bethany would’ve killed Jessica, Courtney would’ve killed Bethany (both of them wearing the yellow top), and
Alison would’ve went down for the murder because she was also in a yellow top. Bethany killing Jessica would match the anger she had towards Jessica so no one would question it, and Courtney murdering Bethany wouldn’t be questioned since both
were in yellow tops, and Alison would’ve gone down for the murder because of
the letter planted in the DiLaurentis house so it made to look like she planned
to kill her. (Season 5 storyline anyone?)… That is, if Charlotte hadn’t
have escaped and accidentally knocked Alison out in the first place.
Now, getting to the proof that Courtney is in fact Uber A…
There are some requirements for the person who actually IS Uber A… 1. This person
knows everything that happened on Labor Day. 2. This person dug up Bethany’s
body in 3x01, proving that someone knew that body wasn’t Alison before anyone
else. 3. This person knew every single person involved with each crime, aka
Mona and Melissa, along with the accomplices who covered them up. 4. This
person is highly intelligent, but absolutely insane and dangerous.
Charlotte had no idea that Alison was alive up until the
night of the lodge fire, so how could she have possibly known the person in
Alison’s grave wasn’t her? The simple answer is, she couldn’t have. This proves
that whoever Uber A is knew not only the Bethany was dead and that Alison
survived, but they knew who was responsible for each crime. Didn’t you ever
wonder why exactly Melissa, Wilden, and others did the things they did? There
was something they had done that someone knew about that held it against them.
Last episode Melissa said Charlotte called Wren and told him
what Melissa had done, this would be impossible because Charlotte was watching
Jessica bury Alison, she had been with Jessica the ENTIRE night while Bethany
was knocked out and buried. Meaning someone saw everything happen and watched
it unfold.
Another thing Charlotte said during the 6x10 finale stuck
out to me… She said she could never trust Mona, that since she hit her best
friend with a car, how could she trust her? And yet, the red coat who dug up
Bethany’s body had Mona do it. Speaking of red coats, one of the scenes with the A ending has red coat torching
bobbleheads of the girls, if Charlotte had worn the red coat just that one time
at the saw mill… Who bought the black hoodies in 3x01?
Now, I’m going to go back to the Season 4 finale when
Jessica was murdered. We all know Charlotte didn’t do that, Jessica was the
last person in the world who knew Charlotte existed and was the only person
left who loved her. The person who did this was heartless, they wanted to hurt
Charlotte and Alison in any way necessary, and that was taking away someone
they loved, and someone who the killer absolutely hated. No one on the show
hated Jessica more than Bethany, at least that’s what you’re made to think- and
yet, if Bethany is dead, who STILL hated Jessica enough to kill her? Courtney.
Courtney isn’t like Charlotte or Mona, she has no real
reason to do what she does… As Bethany said, “She’s a bitch. She’s an evil
bitch. I don’t mean nasty or rude, I mean evil! Without a soul!”
Knowing just how evil, and just how smart Courtney was, she
did things for Charlotte to hate Bethany (i.e. killing Marion and blaming it on
her), and she did things for Bethany to hate Jessica (telling her about the “affair”).
She pitted people against each other without them knowing it was even happening,
and they didn’t even know they were being manipulated, Courtney had a reason
for every single move she made- she never did anything that wouldn’t serve a
purpose.
Now, reading the synopsis for an upcoming episode, it says
that Alison believes she’s going insane- I think Courtney is going to be
showing up (much like what Alison did when she was supposed to be “dead”) just
to torture Alison, making her think Charlotte is still alive. Alison will
probably think she’s going insane and will most likely be put in a place like
Radley (possibly by her own hubby *cough*).
Now, who do I think killed Charlotte? Like I said in my Vertigo
theory (which you can read here: http://theplltheorist.tumblr.com/post/137259102034/6x11-thoughts-and-vertigo), I think Dr. Rollins was the one to help murder Charlotte- while
Courtney was there. From the tapes Bethany was recorded on, she said Courtney
could get anyone to do anything she wanted within a few minutes of knowing
them, 2 minutes if you’re a man. And I can guarantee you that he’s using his
marriage to Alison as an alibi, Courtney probably told him to do it as an alibi
but also to further damage Alison and put her away permanently. And we’ve also
seen recently that whoever the big bad is right now has access to Medical
Records, (Veronica and Yvonne’s).
And now, she’s going after Mona and Melissa as well, she’s
framing Melissa for murder and torturing Mona as well. Melissa is going to most
likely be pinned for some murder, whether it’s Charlotte or Bethany- right now
it looks like Melissa may be going down for Charlotte’s murder because of the
murder weapon being a part of her luggage bag. And remember, Melissa HATES
Charlotte now for telling Wren what she did… So they’ll believe the motive.
Now, for the physical proof:
In 6x10, while Charlotte is explaining what happened Labor
Day- she says that Bethany left with the Yellow Top, and from this letter that
was found in 5x13… Someone was sending Bethany letters pretending to be Alison,
and THEY are the ones who gave Bethany the yellow top. In 3x19 Jason stumbles out of the house, drunk and high- he sees Melissa and someone who looks like Charlotte in the yellow top. I think it’s very likely that Melissa was talking to Courtney, in fact- I think Courtney was the one who outed Alison and Ian to Melissa.
Whomever Melissa was talking to in the yellow top, she knew-
she knew very well. And in 6x10 while Charlotte was explaining how she
accidentally hit her thinking it was Bethany, Alison says that Jason saw her
and Melissa talking, but it couldn’t have been Charlotte because she was in all
black. So, whoever Melissa was talking to looked EXACTLY like Charlotte.
And in episode 4x24, when Alison was telling the girls what
happened on Labor Day, she discovered the EXACT same yellow shirt in her room-
along with an A message. So the person who sent both Alison AND Bethany yellow
tops had a plan for them, and Charlotte was NOT included in that deal.
And again in 6x10, Charlotte said she stopped visiting Mona
once they started weaning her off her meds- and yet, in 3x01 Red Coat took Mona
to the cemetery to dig up Bethany’s body which Emily recalls in 3x18. This proves that whomever dug the
grave up KNEW whoever was in that grave wasn’t Alison, and Charlotte believed
Alison had been dead up until she discovers that Alison is alive
in the Lodge Fire.
One of the most prominent pieces of proof that Bethany,
Charlotte, and Courtney looked alike was in 6x10, while Charlotte is explaining
what happened Labor Day when she mistook Alison for Bethany- Charlotte says
this: “She stole my clothes and knew I had out privileges so she snuck out of
Radley.”
Speaking of Red Coats… A recurring thing that keeps popping
up are twins, specifically twins in red. Well, take a look:
The last photo is from the night Charlotte was murdered,
whoever was in that red shirt was there when Charlotte was murdered… And since
Marlene has confirmed there is an identical twin coming up, along with the fact
Alison believes she’s going insane. It has to be someone who looks exactly like
Charlotte without being her twin… I believe Courtney is alive and well, and we’re
going to meet her… Very, very soon.
(P.S. Melissa is still the one trying to figure out who the
killer is, and Dr. Rollins is still the one who killed Charlotte… None of that
has changed!)
I have a lot more physical proof that she exists, but I’ve
been writing this theory going on about 10 hours total so… If you have any
questions, shoot me a message!
So I thought I was reading spoilers or leaks straight from Marlene’s office… this is the best. Forget everything I’ve said, this is 100% happening.
First.. Shouts to my pll bff @bitchcankeepasecret for sending this to me. 2nd shouts to the creator for taking the time to create this. It’s clear it took time and lots of thought.
I personally don’t see how this is accurate.
Charlotte was born male. Yes he lives life as a woman..well did before she died..but she was originally a HE. He could not have an identical FEMALE twin. And how could he be someone else’s doppleganger? Let alone a doppleganger for a set of twins he’s not remotely related to (as far as we know)?
Most of us are familiar w/the word doppleganger now because of TVD. A doppleganger in their world is basically a shadow version of oneself. Identical physically in every way. They are supernatural beings. I doubt PLL will go down the supernatural road again after the Ravenswood fiasco.
Ppl in the “real world” use the word doppleganger in a similar fashion. They know it’s not you but at a glance it reminds them of you bc you and this person have physical similarities. With that being said yes it is very possible for Char Bethany and Ali to favor bc of the blonde hair. Char and Ali are related so that makes sense. Even more so bc Cece groomed Ali in her image. The Liars often said she sounded acted and even looked like Ali. It’s bc she groomed her to be that way.
But BY? I doubt it…
Do I believe there’s someone else pulling strings that we haven’t met? ABSOLUTELY. Charlotte was not endgame. She too was doing someone else’s bidding. I just hope whoever it is was worth the wait and all the bullshit we’ve had to deal with for 6 seasons. I appreciate the fact ppl are trying to fill in the plot holes and some of the stuff mentioned in this theory is brilliant… And does seem possible. I hope we get some real answers soon. Swear some of y'all should write for this show .
@wednesdayaddamms You have a lot of things very very wrong… I’m glad you like the theory but you don’t understand what I’m saying. A doppelgänger is someone who looks like someone but has absolutely no blood relation to said person. Charlotte has no twin. The twins are Bethany and Courtney. It has nothing to do with supernatural or anything out of the ordinary, it’s just like how Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel look like twins but are absolutely not related. The three of them look alike by pure coincidence, just like the move “Vertigo” which I referenced, there are a lot of references to the movie Vertigo, such as Charlotte’s death. I’m glad you like the theory though, and thanks for the compliment!
