I felt like Marlene really wanted this to be the episode that answered every question, so it ended up feeling quite cold and inpersonal the way that she threw a bunch of exposition in there, except not in a way that really fit and made sense. Like that whole mystery of two blonde girls being buried alive on the same night and wearing the exact same yellow top, oh that was just a case of mistaken identity from both Mona and CeCe, and both Mrs D and Melissa mistakenly assumed that two different girls were dead and buried them alive at the same time without checking for a pulse. None of it really led anythere that suggested that anything was planned from the beginning, it was just last-minute trying to explain the mystery that they laid out with explanations like oh Allison just happened to be wearing the same outfit that Bethany stole from CeCe. But with a mystery show it doesn't work to not have all the clues lead somewhere that fit together perfectly in retrospect, I'm still wondering about plot lines from just this last season, like why did we spend about five or six episodes on the mystery of who was in the barrel when Mona wasn't even dead?

If A had at least been someone with a really understandable notice for torturing the girls then okay, but CeCe's motives were always about having her family back, it just didn't make sense for her to go to such extremes with the other four girls, and throwing in that she got addicted to playing with her dolls just made her seem like she had randomly crazy movies for the bulk of her actions, yet Marlene and the cast have been talking about how we will understand and have sympathy for A after the reveal? Well no, I still don't understand why CeCe went to all that trouble with the dollhouse when it had literally knowing to do with her explained motives of wanting to keep Allison with her. And why was A sending Allison notes claiming responsibility for killing her Mother?
