They explained away Mona answering to someone else as her being so drugged up when she first arrived at Radley that she thought that CeCe was Allison. She mistook CeCe in a red dressing gown for being Allison in a red coat when she said that 'I did everything that you told me', but in fact the original A of the first two seasons was always just Mona. CeCe takes over and steals the game from her in season 3
And exactly, I think that people got their hopes up because of previous shocking reveals like Toby being on the A team, or Ezra apparently being A. The writers always backtracked obviously, but there was still that expectation for this reveal to be a really major one this time to finally find out which character hated the liars that much, so a lot of us were left feeling like 'is that it'... I feel like they could have pulled some more characters in and had least have Black Widow as someone really intriguing (Jenna or Melissa would have been cool!), instead of basically only introducing Sara this year as being behind everything with CeCe. And they never even gave Sara any motive for that, so it's hard to feel like oh wow, that's who was in the red coat, that's who was underneath the veil
