Pretty Little Liars is not known for being straightforward. In Rosewood, anything goes — characters die, then come back to life; multiple people have secret siblings; and half the town has spent time in the local sanitarium, Radley (which has now conveniently become a hotel for the other half of the town to frequent). Rosewood’s foundation is, as the show’s title suggests, built on lies. And there is a fan theory for every single one.
The last time we saw the girls, Hanna (Ashley Benson) had been kidnapped by "Uber A," and the show made it very clear that Hanna might not make it out alive. This leaves Spencer (Troian Bellisario), Aria (Lucy Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Caleb (Tyler Blackburn), Ezra (Ian Harding), and Toby (Keegan Allen) to once again challenge "A." Considering the girls have been kidnapped and forced to live in a life-size dollhouse, listened to the commands of creepy dolls in multiple episodes, and all almost died multiple times, anything could happen. Here are the crazy theories that we think could actually come to pass on season 7 of Pretty Little Liars, starting June 21. We'll find out the truth soon enough.
We Know One Of Those Eerie, Blonde Twins
We finally saw a twin reveal in the season 6 finale — turns out Mrs. DiLaurentis (Andrea Parker) has a twin sister. Since they've already changed the twin reveal for TV (in the books, Ali has a twin), why can't there be two sets of twins? Ever since the first Halloween episode when the two young, blond twins first appeared, there has been speculation that one of them could be Ali or Hanna. Now that we know about Charlotte, it seems unlikely there is another hidden DiLaurentis kid. But Hanna is an appealing choice since in one of the Halloween episodes, only Ms. Marin (Laura Leighton) could see the one twin (who may have been a ghost?). Hanna having a twin would offer a nice tie-in to the girls, and would finally explain the eerie presence of those twins in Ravenswood, in Ms. Marin's house, and in the story that Ali told while babysitting. They've been mentioned too many times to be a coincidence!

Ali Killed Charlotte
For years, we watched flashbacks of Ali (Sasha Pieterse) tormenting the girls. Yet, it didn’t take long for them to forgive her when she came back. We were expected to believe that Ali had changed for the better. But what if she didn't? We’ve seen how she likes to manipulate and use people. What if during five years of taking care of Charlotte (Vanessa Ray), she was really just scheming a master revenge plot?
Charlotte did ruin her life, try to kill her, and torment her and her “friends” for years. It makes sense she’d want revenge and even set up the girls for murder, if it kept her looking innocent.

Maya Is Still "A"live
Maya (Bianca Lawson) getting killed by a random stalker from her time at rehab has never made sense. If her death had nothing to do with the larger story line, then what was up with her website, and why would Mona give them the anagram "MAYA KNEW"?
There have always been some red flags that Maya is a key part of the mystery, and this tumblr explains them well. Maya moved into Ali’s old house that somehow was still filled with tons of Ali’s old stuff. On the same day that Emily meets Maya, the girls start getting "A" messages full of secrets from Ali’s diaries. Plus, there are a lot of other questions: How did Ali’s diaries go from Maya to Mona? Why was Maya in Ali’s room in a blond wig? Why was Maya friends with all the sketchy people — Garrett (Yani Gellman), Noel (Brant Daugherty), Jason (Drew Van Acker), and Holden (Shane Coffey)?

Wren Is "Uber A"
Wren (Julian Morris) has always been sketchy for multiple reasons, including that he cheated on his fiancée with her underage sister. He also hooked up with said underage sister’s best friend. But aside from Rosewood’s tendency to have older men in relationships with underage girls, there are plenty of other red flags around Wren.
He knew about CeCe really being Charlotte, and gave her visitor passes in and out of Radley. He also has the same poster in his apartment that was in the dollhouse — interesting, since everything else was modeled after the girls’ own rooms. There are a lot of clues, considering this theory has been around since season 1. Yet recently, it’s evolved to say that Wren is Bethany’s brother, which gives him a motive.
There is one big, lingering question, though — how could he be "Uber A" from London?

It All Comes Down To “The Jenna Thing”
During the first season, all we wanted to know was what happened "that night." Ali, with help from the girls, ended up blinding Jenna (Tammin Sursok) in a prank gone very wrong. More than anyone, she has the motive to hate Ali and her friends, and she had plenty of time to dig up dirt and make alliances while she was at the school for the blind. Let’s not forget that Aria killed her girlfriend, Shana (Aeriél Miranda). We haven’t seen Jenna in a while, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be back...or that she hasn't been behind a mask this whole time. With confirmation that Jenna is coming back for season 7, this theory is looking even more likely to be true!

Andrew Campbell Will Come Back As "A"
For a while, Andrew (Brandon Jones) was the main suspect. We now know that he isn’t Charles or Charlotte, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be Uber A. After the girls publicly accused him of being Ali’s murderer, he has every reason to hate them. Plus, his family farm is connected to a young Ali and Charlotte, where this whole mystery began. The last thing we heard from him was, “The school wants you gone just as much as the rest of us.” Maybe he is still trying to make sure they leave.
