The next morning in school, Ezra is once again the Liar’s teacher and they are once again totally awkward and stressed about it.
Ezra: “All things truly wicked start from innocence.”
Also Spencer’s shoulders look great.
Later, the Liars prep for their faux big party in very real very expensive looking dresses. Emily debates throwing red paint on Aria’s fur jacket while the three chat. They are, of course, being filmed. At this point it’s safe to say the Liars are always being filmed.
At The Party Lodge, Spencer and TobAy make out a bunch.
MonA and I have similar feelings on the issue. 
MonA chats up Red Coat on her cell phone and is all, “You’re getting what you always wanted,” and “It’s all over,” “You can land your fancy plane now,” and “I have that vibrating underwear you wanted,” “Where do we keep the good rice vinegar?” Typical stuff. What MonA doesn’t know is that the other three Liars have changed into their Spy Kids clothing and are making their way into the building from the back.
To avoid MonA, TobAy acts like he’s going to take Spencer out back and slay her. He and Spencer go outside just as Red Coat’s plane is landing. I can’t even believe Red Coat travels by plane. That’s so bad for the environment. TobAy reminds Spencer that their goal is for her to see Red Coat’s face and the two part ways.
Red Coat departs the plan and Spencer does her best sneak attack. Finally seeing her face, Spencer thinks Red Coat is Ali. Of course, Rosewood is filled with blondes and Spencer is at a distance so at this point it could still potentially be someone else.
MonA preps for the big showdown, but is quickly confronted by the three musketeers.
What all four of them don’t know is that someone just locked them in and set The Party Lodge on fire!
House fires really scares me and is the main reoccurring theme in most of my nightmares. I’m fine with campfires. Actually I make a great campfire myself– we can totally go camping sometime if you want. Wait. I’m getting distracted. Where was I? Right. With all the smoke in the building the girls freak out.
In the hullabaloo MonA accidentally reveals that even she doesn’t know who Red Coat is!
As for TobAy, he goes off strolling around in the dark trying to I.D. other woodland dwellers, but all that ends up happening is he gets knocked unconscious and a lighter placed in his hand. I guess whoever started the fire wanted to frame TobAy. That would have been my move too. Minus the starting a house fire part what with my previously mentioned tremendous fear.
Fortunately no one dies because someone drags the Liars out of the house. Wouldn’t that have been kind of a funny twist if they had died though? Like the fourth season is just us watching Shana, Jenna and Melissa run around town? Maybe Paige would get some screen time.
Hanna wakes up first and sees Red Coat’s face staring back at her. It’s Alison!
MonA runs over to the Liars like she’s just spotted a 30% off sale at J.Crew and announces that she too saw Ali! Now it’s a trifecta of Ali spotters. No one believes MonA, because she’s the fucking bad guy, but Hanna agrees. 
Spencer finally hears the fire commotion, runs over to see whats going on and seals the deal on the Ali is Red Coat trifecta. Okay one more time for SQL purposes: Alison is Red Coat. I was right? You were right? We were all right? Everyone was right.
Also. Three people spotting her? Clearly Red Coat/Alison wanted it this way. Just sayin’.
The Liars and MonA ride home together in the same car. I couldn’t possibly say why, since they probably took three cars up between them. Watching MonA sit bitch in the back seat while the Liars grill her is pretty hilarious though. It oddly reminds me of the shawarma scene at the end of The Avengers in that it feels like the part they’re not supposed to show us. You’re not supposed to see the part where the superheroes stop for lunch or where James Bond stops to take a piss or when the Liars have to suffer through a long and totally awkward car ride home.
In a lot of ways, this scene gives us the most raw, real and totally unhinged MonA yet. MonA tells the Liars she made a deal with Red Coat at Radley in order to get a way in and out. This seems patently false, since when Red Coat first confronted MonA, MonA said, “I did everything you asked me to.”
MonA: At first it was fun having a partner, but then the game changed. She stole you from me.
As the Liars reenter Rosewood they drive by the church. Outside is Wilden’s cop car, covered in the set dressings from the Broadway version of The Little Mermaid, pulled up out of the lake.
The front seat laptop is still showing the video of Ashley Marin, which is surprising given it’s been submerged for like a week. The big difference is that now the computer is showing Jenna and Shana helping Wilden off the ground and taking him away. Awww. A couple that plots together stays together.
Then, just to make it a season finale, they all get a mysterious text from A, pop the trunk of the car and gasp at what they see.
My guess? It’s a trunk full of the tapes that Jenna was scared the Liars would get. If it’s a dead body I think it’s Cece or Jason. Or Maya. If I’ve learned anything from this show it’s that it could always be Maya’s dead body.
Our final cut scene in a flashback where a hand reaches through the dirt just like in the Halloween Train Episode and that episode of True Blood and maybe also in Buffy? Except this time someone reaches in, grabs her hand, and pulls her out.
