Stop Everything—There Could Be TWO A.D.s on ‘Pretty Little Liars’

Yes, you read that correctly. There could be not one but two A.D.s on Pretty Little Liars! Every PLL fan has been waiting for the big A reveal since the show started in 2010, but now there are some intense fan-based conspiracy theories that suggest there could be two A.D.s (or Uber As, if you prefer that moniker). And it makes perfect sense. After all, trouble does come in pairs.

There’s less than a month left until the final 10 episodes of PLL begin airing (even though I choose not to acknowledge that yet), but that won’t stop diehard fans from channeling their inner Sherlock Holmes to scour the series for clues. Let’s face it, detective work is a tiring endeavor best left to the experts. Nobody has time for that. Unless of course, you’re a Redditor. Refinery29 explains that Redditor theCeCeDrake is a professional PLL detective.

This PLL sleuth has unveiled a hidden Easter egg in a recent promo. In the below screenshot, there are TWO pairs of gloved hands. Why would A.D. have two pairs of gloved hands? They’re clearly either a four-armed super human or A.D. is actually two different people. Even if there aren’t any hands inside the gloves, why would A.D. have two pairs of gloves?

Other Redditors have supported theCeCeDrake’s theory. Redditor futuresobright_ suggests that “A.D. isn’t a set of initials but two names…one starting with A, the other with D.” Uh, Aria and Darren, which woo-em already pointed out as a possiblity. Regardless, my speculations just went out the window. 

Regardless of what PLL theory you support, it’s time that we all unite and do some digging into the remaining episodes. After all, who can wait another second to find out who A.D. is?
