The Pretty Little Liars premiere is finally here, y'all! Before the new season starts up, though, we need to remember what's went on on the finale. The final episode of season six didn't just give us one huge twist, it gave us a whole slew of them. And yet, despite all we learned, we're still not sure who exactly is the new villain — although there are a few very strong contenders — and we still have no idea who killed Charlotte DiLaurentis. It's safe to say we've been left with more questions than answers. Keep reading to remember the biggest, most shocking parts of the season finale.

Jessica DiLaurentis Is Not the Birth Mother of Charles DiLaurentis
Bear with us: Charlotte DiLaurentis, of course, was born as Charles. And Charles was actually born in Radley Sanitarium and later adopted into the DiLaurentis family. His birth mother isn't Mrs. DiLaurentis at all. She's a woman named Mary Drake. Who's Mary Drake, you ask?

Mary Drake Is the Evil, Living Twin of Mrs. DiLaurentis
Altogether now: say whaaat?! We've been waiting years for a twin to pop up on Pretty Little Liars. It's such a huge part of the book series, and there's a ton of twin imagery throughout all six seasons. Did we ever suspect it would be Mrs. DiLaurentis, though? We definitely thought she might be "A" at one point, but we never saw her as a twin.
Not only is Mary Drake a twin, we also learn she's the biological mother of Charles, that she's working with Dr. Rollins, and that she's desperately trying to gain control over the Carissimi group. It also seems like she's trying to get revenge for Charlotte's death. Which kind of leaves us wondering, still, after all this time: who killed Charlotte?!

Dr. Rollins Is Totally Evil and Totally in League With Mary Drake
Yes, let's talk about Ali's morally corrupt husband, Dr. Rollins! First of all, he's British?! And trying to help Mary Drake gain control over the Carissimi group?! Second of all, Ali spends the whole episode thinking she's suffering hallucinations. Detective Wilden isn't a hallucination at all, though. It's Dr. Rollins himself, wearing a Wilden mask. Did he also infer that he was in love with Charlotte before she died? Consider our jaws on the floor.

Hanna Marin Has Been Kidnapped
As usual, the group thinks they've developed an airtight plan to pull a fast one on their attacker, and as usual, they're wrong. The plan to corner the show's newest villain at the Lost Woods Resort goes totally awry, and Hanna vanishes from the room.

The Newest Cyber Villain Goes by the Initials "A.D."
In the final moments, the newest serial texter lets the group know that they have Hanna. Then for the first time ever, they sign the text "A.D." But who can it be? It can't be Alison DiLaurentis, seeing as she spends most of the episode going crazy and admitting herself into psychiatric treatment. It doesn't seem like it's Mary Drake or Dr. Rollins either, they're so focused on Alison DiLaurentis and the Carrissimi group and don't mention Hanna at all. So, then, who is it?! Who is "A.D"?
