Now you see me, now you don't

So, Tuesday night was the much anticipated mid-season finale of the hugely popular US drama, Pretty Little Liars. After three and a half seasons, the identity of serial blackmailer "A" would finally be revealed. For real this time. And guess what, it was Ezra! Yeah, remember the adorable, dreamy english teacher that all the girls fell in love with? Well, as it turns out, the ever-innocent Mr Fitz is actually an evil, obsessive psychopath that spends all of his time blackmailing, and monitoring his students' every move. Did I mention that he also has a fetish for dating young girls?

Now, don't get me wrong, I'll be the first to admit that the writers caught me out.
Unlike previous plot twists, I definitely did not see this one coming. And, although subtle hints were dropped throughout the series, "Ezra the villain" just doesn't sit right. For one, it was never suggested that Ezra had another side to him, other than the sweet-loving, irresistible, caring teacher.
Secondly, with his big blue eyes, and baby-faced features, Ezra looks about as threatening as an excited puppy.

But in an episode that promised many answers, it seems that the audience were once again, left feeling more confused than ever.

• Was the whole "Mona is in danger" scenario nothing but a ploy to lure the girls to Ravenswood?
• What's Ezra's motive for being "A"?
• How did he find the time to monitor the liars on top of teaching, correcting homework, having a relationship with Aria, and looking after his son?
• Since when was Ezra an expert at hacking?
• Why would he want to frame Hannah's mother for murder?
• Who really killed Ian, Garrett, and Detective Wilden?
• What happened to Jason, Lucas, and Noel Kahn?
• What's the connection between Wren, Shana, Cece, and Melissa?
• What was the significance of the "Maggie" storyline?
• What has the death of Toby's mom got to do with anything?
• Why is Caleb moving to Ravenswood?

Viewers hoping to find out an explanation to Tuesday night's shocking revelation will have to wait until the Halloween Special, due to air on October 22nd. Let's hope that episode will shed some light on the somewhat murky town of Rosewood.
