Why We Thought She Was "A":
- Melissa was one of the original characters involved in the NAT Club, so she'd make a pretty likely suspect.
- We know Melissa buried Bethany Young. It makes sense that she'd want to cover up her involvement, and eliminate anyone who could implicate her.
- She admitted to being one of the Queen of Hearts on the Halloween train, so she has no problems disguising herself.
- There are scores of reasons for her to hate the Liars. She lost her baby, her engagement with Wren, and she lost Ian. There's plenty of revenge to be sought.
Why We Figured She Wasn't "A":
- In the end, Melissa was really acting on her own self interests, and to protect Spencer. She wanted to cover up her involvement in Bethany's death.
- Melissa has been in London for quite a while with Wren. And we have a feeling she'd have a hard time sneaking around Rosewood without getting recognized.
- "A" has done some nasty things that directly affected Melissa. Think about Ian's death, and Garrett's too!
