Even after last year's "Summer of Answers," it seems Pretty Little Liars left one stone unturned. It really looks as though the notorious "Beach Hottie" might have been forgotten. As a refresher, Ali has quite the scandalous Summer just before she gets abducted, way at the beginning of the series. We know Ali is involved with two men during this time: an individual called "Board Shorts," and another called "Beach Hottie."
We eventually learn that Ezra Fitz and Board Shorts are one and the same. Ezra and Ali dated that Summer in Cape May. But, well, we never hear of Beach Hottie again. We know Alison is very afraid of him. The only caveat is, if Rollins had been Beach Hottie, wouldn't Alison have recognized him? It's hard to say for sure. We do have to remember, though, that there's at least a seven year gap between Ali's disappearance and this semi-new five-year time jump. That's a long time.
