#Just had interviewers go “Season 3 hair...” implying there was something odd about it and somehow waiting for Joey to elaborate.

I'm late to the party like you wouldn't believe, but I've got to say something, because I'm so upset!
Okay, unpopular opinion, I actually loved Jaskier's Season 3 hair!
Was it always perfectly styled? No. There were a few scenes where I personally thought it could have used a bit more volume, or a bit more volume in some places while a bit less in others; but, most or the time, I was more than fine with it, and thought it suited Jaskier well!
At times, I literally adored it!
Ex:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To me, those are moments where I thought Jaskier looked his best in the series! Loved the hair!
Then again, personally, I tend to prefer Joey's looks with his forehead cleared and his hair longer.
Like, this is I think one of the most gorgeous non-feral hairstyles I've ever seen on him:
Tumblr media
(X)
This is an absolutely gorgeous man, and I personally prefer his hair styled like this than short.
(Note: I'm not saying he's not beautiful with short hair, too, simply stating personal preferences. Certain aesthetic choices are based on comfort, too, and he can 100% afford to sacrifice the "long haired look" for something that makes him feel more comfortable. He can rock plenty of different looks!)
Then, of course, there's the feral look that is just in its own category...
Tumblr media
So why am I upset?
I've just found out that he didn't wear a wig in Season 3!
That Jaskier's Season 3 hair were simply Joey's own hair that he had decided to grow out.
And look, I'm fine with everyone having preferences!
That's not my issue. Having your own tastes and not being a fan of Joey's Season 3 hairstyle is not the issue at all!
There were posts simply mentioning that they hated that it looked so flat, when we could have been graced with something a bit more like this:
Tumblr media
And I do get preferences when it comes to styling.
It's just that I recall how - since people assumed it was "an ugly wig" that had been forced on his head by the wig department, rather than what they considered "a bad hairstyle" - the comments on "Jaskier's hair" were at times downright nasty!
And I just gotta get out of my system that those of you that have been literally making fun of his "sudden 4-inches receeding hairline" (first I'll have you know I find receeding hairline pretty hot!), when it's kinda remained the same for 3 seasons (it's called BANGS people. Joey tends to wear those with his shorter haircuts! Look it up!), for example, really suck!
His hairline has always gone pretty far up on each side, even in some of his earlier work... Ex: Gopher in "Mount Pleasant" (2016):
Tumblr media
Like he's got very thick hair that form a "V" shape at the top (my mom had that, but I didn't inherit it... And we've got tons of hair... Like, a lot! * ) and a pretty large forehead.
*
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(That's me at 18, and then at 28 - before I brought them back to a lower back length - but my mom is the same in terms of thickness, she just has that V in the front I lack, and it never receeded any further in her life.)
And there would be no shame in having thin hair, or any form of baldness anyway!
So yeah! I remember sort of heavily ignoring all those "ugly wig" comments because I, too, had assumed it was a wig (turns out Joey's hair seem to be a bit like mine, and grow pretty fast), and at some point you choose your battles.
Did I think a bunch of you were immature assholes for needing to hate on that "ugly wig" so much? Yes. But you find those in any fandom!
Personally, I thought "the wig" was awesome!
But now, I kinda regret not having taken the time to be more supportive of Jaskier's Season's 3 hair given I actually like it...
Because that's just a (very sweet) human being's hair, that was styled in a way that a number of people didn't like.
Again, zero problem for those that thought it was badly styled, and that the look didn't suit Jaskier!
Critiquing what you find a "bad hairstyle" is no cause for shame!
But, for those of you that took it to the next level with all those "ugly wig" comments, you fucking suck, I sure hope you've since found out that you'd been openly ridiculing a fellow human being's real hair, that it makes you feel like complete pieces of shit, and that feeling like complete pieces of shit is going to help you learn from your mistakes, before you start attacking other people's personal physical features in the future!
"Well, I didn't know!"
Here's today's lesson:
When you don't know, please kindly shut up and assume the hair you see is the real thing!
Or critique the wig like you would a real hairstyle, asking yourself "Hmm... Is describing someone's real hair the way I do going to make me sound like a bully?"
Like I said, I'm aware I'm pretty late to the party, but the the kid in me that got heavily bullied in school over her own hair really needed to get it out of her system!

masterpost of all moon varian evidence i’ve managed to gather
i absolutely love this theory so here u go :) prepare for me actually talking using proper punctuation (beware of s3 spoilers)
The Moon Varian Theory
For awhile, Moon Varian has been a widely believed theory - though most have dismissed it and thought it to be absolute nonsense (I once did too) It actually makes more sense than people give it credit for.
Varian’s Appearance
Now let’s analyze the most obvious hints - his physical appearance.
The Blue Streak
A widely discussed matter has been his famed “blue streak” in his hair. Specifically because in a show like Tangled, about a princess with magic hair that holds color, you would think that hair would have some importance.
When Cass stole the moon opal, her hair turned a shade of teal, implying that the moonstone turns hair blue. While some may argue that Varian’s strand of hair is gray, or even green, I have indeed looked into this. I compared his and Cass’ hair color in a color picker using these two photos -
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The results from the colorpicker show that Varian’s streak is indeed blue. In fact, it even looks like a watered down version of Cass’ hair color. Sure, they are a bit different because not all colorpickers give the same results, but look - aren’t they painfully similar? (Cass’ hair color is on the top, Varian’s on the bottom)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Still not thinking Varian’s hairstreak is blue? Thinking that it’s just the lighting of the picture or the color picker I used? Well fear not, do I have something to show you!
Tumblr media
In the newest opening of TTS Season 3, Varian is drawn by Rapunzel in her journal - with a hairstreak that is most obviously blue. It almost looks as if it’s glowing and extremely close to the color she uses to draw the rocks and things pertaining to the moon opal - Have I mentioned how much emphasis they put on this certain streak in his hair? In the season 3 premiere of TTS, Eugene gives him the nickname “hair-stripe” - this proves that the other characters are fully aware and completely notice this odd streak in his hair - aware enough to give him nicknames and draw him with it. They think it’s odd because no one else in Corona besides Rapunzel has an odd color in their hair.
I’ve heard people say that Lady Caine and Cassandra had streaks in their hair so Varian’s isn’t that important - but they’re different. Lady Caine and Cass have highlights that are shades of their hair color in their hair. Varian has a blue streak that isn’t even close to the actual color of his hair - his actual highlights are a different color than his blue streak.
Some conspire his streak is the result of an alchemical accident, but this theory has been debunked. In the famed family portrait of Varian, his mother and his father - he still has this blue streak. It seems nonexistent at first, but if you look closely - it’s still there. It just blends into Quirin’s shirt. In No Time Like The Past, Varian is also shown with his blue streak at only five years old. Neither of his parents have any blue streak of any kind in their hair, so where did he get it from?
Tumblr media
I imagine Varian could’ve been born with it due to secondhand contact with the rocks or moonstone by his parents before he was born - which might’ve given him the blue streak in his hair - just like how Rapunzel was given blonde hair from secondhand contact with the sundrop flower before her birth.
And I forgot to mention - do you know who else had an odd-colored streak in their hair at one point?
Tumblr media
Yeah, that’s right. Rapunzel after she touched the rocks - and that leads us onto our next clues.
Rapunzel and Varian’s Similarities and Differences
If you look deeper into the show, you’ll begin to notice the amount of similarities and differences Raps and Varian have. They seem so different - and yet the same.
If you google them, you’ll find plenty of Varian and Rapunzel parallels, and it makes sense. Wouldn’t the moondrop and sundrop have some things in common but at the same time be so different?
Let’s start with differences - Raps and Varian can be complete opposites sometimes.
Rapunzel is neat and put-together, Varian is messy and unorganized.
Everything seems to work out for Rapunzel, but when Varian is involved, things always go wrong.
Rapunzel is careful, Varian is clumsy.
Rapunzel is very much an optimist, Varian being pessimistic at times.
Rapunzel is on the side of magic, Varian on the side of science.
They completely represent total opposites of each other - Rapunzel the sundrop, with the power to heal and make things right, Varian the moondrop, destructive and clumsy, causing things to often go wrong. It just makes so much sense that they have some similarities as well -
They both are quite naive in different ways.
They both are determined and strong.
They both face challenges where they almost lose something they love.
I’m sure there’s way more. To top it all off, one of the writers, Chris Sonnenburg confirmed there’s a legitimate reason that Rapunzel and Varian have so many similarities.
Moving onto the next topic -
Varian’s Lack of Harm During the Hurt Incantation
I’m sure you are all well aware of the scene where Rapunzel kindly frees Varian’s father using the hurt incantation - many people found this scene peculiar, as did I. Varian reaches over and grabs Raps’ shoulders to get her to snap out of it, his gloves burn off - but his hands are left completely unharmed. He didn’t even feel pain - he just took his hands off Raps’ shoulders because he noticed smoke. The peculiar thing about this scene is that in past instances, Cass’ hand completely burnt through her gloves when she touched Raps during the hurt incantation - but Varian was left with his hand intact. Some claim that his alchemy gloves are just strong enough to withstand the power of the Hurt Incantation - but I object. 
Rapunzel used the hurt incantation - you know. Literal death magic that can kill people and burnt Cass’ whole hand at the slightest touch. I doubt even alchemy gloves are strong enough to stand against withering magic that can cause death. Not to mention Varian was the only one able to snap Raps out of it with only words - What’s up with that?
Tumblr media
Check out this image of his gloves melting off. It’s almost as if there’s some sort of barrier keeping his hands from being harmed. Why else would he be left unharmed unless he had some connection to the moondrop, leaving him unharmed compared to Cass? There’s also that when Cass’ gloves burnt off, her gloves went up in blue flames, while his gloves melted with magical sparkles. The whole ordeal is so peculiar - and I’m not even done yet.
Not convinced? Check out the original storyboard for this scene by Anna Lencioni on her Twitter.
In the original storyboard for this scene, Varian places his bare hands on Rapunzel’s face during the incantation - and keep in mind, he isn’t even wearing gloves in the storyboard, yet still remains completely unharmed - you can even see the smoke coming off his hands, but they remain unburned. If this isn’t a sign, I don’t know what is. Sure, it could be an error, but I completely doubt it. If they didn’t put it in the show, there must be a reason - like how they originally were going to have Cass trip on Raps’ hair, but they figured it would make it too obvious that Gothel was related to Cass.
Varian’s Parents
If Varian was somehow connected to the moondrop, it would most likely be through blood - just like Rapunzel. It has been made very clear that Varian’s dad is somehow connected to the Dark Kingdom and the rocks. In the past, Quirin was shown living in the Dark Kingdom and was even in a close vicinity to a blast from the moon opal before Varian was born.
It’s very likely that a portion of the moonstone’s power somehow affected Quirin during that blast, and gave Varian some connection to the moonstone when he was born, kind of like how when Raps’ mom drank the soup made from the sundrop flower.
Quirin has made it very obvious he knows more about the rocks than he leads on - and at first was very cautious and strict about Varian conducting experiments on the rocks. There’s most definitely a reason for this - considering that when Varian asked him what about the rocks didn’t he want Varian to know, he answered that Varian “isn’t ready”. What isn’t he ready to learn? 
I assume that he wrote about it in the famed letter to Varian he wrote just before he was encased in the amber. As soon as he was freed, however, the letter immediately disintegrated, and when asked what it said, Quirin just told Varian that it said he was proud of him. The letter was way too long to be just that - and it’s very clear Quirin is still hiding things from his son. It has even been confirmed by the writers in an interview that the letter is very, very important - implying Quirin lied about that being everything the letter said. Quirin still obviously thinks that Varian isn’t ready to learn about it yet.
Now let’s talk about Varian’s mother. Varian’s mother is very obviously gone. We haven’t seen her once in the series so it’s assumed that she either has died or disappeared. Writers confirmed that Varian’s mother is in fact important to the plot, and we will be learning more about her in the future. Perhaps Varian’s mother was harmed by the rocks in some way? Now to the next subject…
Varian’s Role in Rapunzel’s Visions
If you’ve seen any of the episodes of Season 1 - you’ll notice that Raps has a decent amount of nightmares - a few of them involving Varian - and symbolism that I’ve found blatantly hints at Moon Varian. In almost all her visions of him, he is seen controlling/being linked to the black rocks.
First, let’s look at Rapunzel’s first nightmare involving Varian during Season 1 Episode 19, The Quest for Varian. This nightmare depicts her battling between who to listen to - her dad or Varian. There’s something in this particular nightmare that I found extremely important in regards to the Moon Varian theory.
Tumblr media
Here we see Rapunzel standing across from her dad - who is encased in the moon rocks - Just like how Varian’s dad is encased in the amber. Her, representing the sundrop, is standing across from Frederick, encased in the black rocks which represent the moondrop.
Now, check this out:
Tumblr media
Right across from her, she sees Varian standing across from his dad encased in the amber. The amber is powered by the sundrop as seen in S1E21, making the amber Quirin is encased in represent the sundrop. If Varian is standing across from something that represents the sundrop, and Rapunzel, the sundrop, is standing across from something that represents the moondrop, what would Varian represent? The moondrop. The fact that Rapunzel’s dad is encased in a substance as well strengthens this argument even more. This is blatant symbolism.
I’m not even finished yet - as the nightmare proceeds, we see Varian run towards Rapunzel. The rocks start following him as if he’s controlling them.
Tumblr media
“The rocks, my hair, Varian - It’s like they’re all connected.” - Rapunzel in S1E19
The foreshadowing is often strong in this show - they place the most subtle hints for things and when you look back, you think you would’ve noticed awhile ago.
Moving onto her second vision containing Varian in S1E21 - this nightmare contains Varian yet again seeming to control the black rocks, and him telling her to follow her destiny.
Tumblr media
This is important because throughout the entirety of Season 2, Rapunzel was lead to think that her destiny was to grab the moon opal - wouldn’t someone literally connected to the moonstone know that?
Subtle Hints in Dialogue
There are tons of hints to Moon Varian in dialogue - one of these lines being mentioned earlier. After Raps’ first nightmare containing Varian in S1E19, she says something extremely important that gets overlooked often. This is by far the biggest Moon Varian hint we have gotten.
“The rocks, my hair, Varian, it’s like they’re all connected.”
This line implies that she thinks the rocks, her hair and Varian are all linked - What does this line mean? Moon Varian, of course. Why else would they include it? Rapunzel basically says she thinks that Varian is in some way related to these magical moon rocks and her magical hair.
Now leading to our final and most recent vocal hint from the newest episode “Be Very Afraid” where Varian says:
“That’s easy for you to say, you’re the embodiment of the sundrop!” followed by him claiming he’s just an ordinary, normal boy and Rapunzel saying “There is nothing ordinary about you, Varian.”
Foreshadowing much? First of all, the way they set up this line made it sound like it was going to go something like “That’s easy for you to say, you’re the embodiment of the sundrop! I’m the embodiment of the destructive moondrop.” They made it sound as if Varian was calling himself the complete opposite of the sundrop, not the middle ground “normal”.
Also Rapunzel saying he wasn’t ordinary is a huge hint - especially considering Varian’s definition of ordinary was “not possessing magical wondrous powers”.
Other Hints
There is another hint that I found wouldn’t fit into the other categories, so I’m putting it here instead. This is a screenshot from S1E09 when Varian shows Raps and Cass the rocks he found.
Tumblr media
Notice anything? Yeah. Two out of three people whose faces were reflected on these rocks were proven to be related or linked to the moonstone at some point (Rapunzel got her hair from the moonstone, Cassandra took the moon opal for herself). What about Varian? I think this is clearly foreshadowing, considering the lengths they’ve gone in this show. This is similar to Cass’ face being reflected in the broken mirror in Raps’ old tower.
anyways, thanks for reading <3 this is a product of someone who couldnt sleep  so i apologize for any inconsistencies. i’ll update this if i find anything else.

What I think is going to happen in 720
Warning in advance this post will be long, going to try and keep it as organized as I can. I’m planning on breaking down what I think based on the promo for the finale as well as why I think Wren is AD and Melissa is his helper, why there is NO twin for Spencer, and why I think it was Melissa in the scene with Ezra and Wren in 715.
I guess I’ll start by breaking down my thoughts on the promo.
The first real scene of significance is someone in a black hoodie watching all the girls and guys having dinner together. Now I have seen the video from when they were filming that night where it’s either Ashley or Lisa (one of the BTS people on the crew) yell out Torrey’s name. Now this could mean a couple of things, maybe Torrey was on set for another scene before they set up to shoot that scene and was leaving for the day. Maybe Torrey was the one wearing the hoodie looking on at the dinner. I’m seeing a lot of people make assumptions that because of this Melissa has to be AD. I don’t necessarily think so. If the assumption is that whoever is wearing the hoodie MUST be AD the same logic could be used for Mona because there is a clip later of in the promo of her in the hoodie knocking out Spencer. Based on my own theories my interpretation of this scene is that Melissa is a helper that is looking on at her sister and realizing that this is why she’s doing all of this.
Okay next scene.. the infamous “Bury/Marry” scene. I’ve seen the promo several times and I’ve heard it both ways. I think because of Lucy being stuffed because of crying it muffles it and makes it sound like bury when it’s really marry which Marlene confirmed in the live chat that her and Sasha have done today. So that ends that and at least at that point Ezra is not dead and going to need to be buried.
Okay the next stuff is the Spoby kiss and sex. I’ve seen a lot of different things being said about this. Mainly that people don’t want to get another sex scene and they are back together without an explanation. Honestly I think we are supposed to interpret that they got back together after 718. They don’t always spell everything out for us and honestly I’m okay with that. Another thing I’ve seen of concern from Spoby shippers is the reference in last nights episode to the fact that no one could reach Toby. That has sparked up a lot of stuff with Toby was still with a potential twin. No. I think it was honestly an excuse to not have Keegan in the episode. If his absence does get explained it will be that he was at the cabin with no service. I honestly don’t think it will be explained at all. And obviously it doesn’t effect Spoby getting back together.
The next scene is the Spencer/Melissa stable scene. A lot of people say that Melissa looks sketchy in the clip and it’s giving fuel to Melissa being AD. While I’m not opposed to her being AD, I can’t see a logical way where it makes sense. All these years Melissa has said everything she has done is to protect Spencer, how would be the ring leader of this all be protecting her? That’s why I think she’s a helper and that they are going to splash varying red herrings through out the episode to make it look like her. And this was a scene that I honestly thought took place towards the end of the episode but now I think it does occur earlier on before the AD reveal hence the red herring with her looking all sketch.
Next is the scene of Mona hitting Spencer over the head. Nice parallel to 225.. don’t understand why it’s happening. Scenes later on in the promo show that Mona is in some sort of a hospital and AD comes to visit her. The thing is I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a flashback to season 3 OR if it’s supposed to be during the year jump. So my guess is that AD busts Mona out. This plays into why I think Wren is AD, he could bust her out. He’s a doctor so he could easily go in and discharge her. I’ll get into that further once I start discussing why I think Wren is AD.
After that we see a bunch of clips of Spencer being locked somewhere and Mary coming in and hugging who we think is her. But then in one of the last clips of the promo it shows Mary stabbing the Spencer she is hugging with some sort of shot and it appears as if Spencer is watching it happen. Marlene confirmed in this live chat today that there is someone wearing masks because they don’t want people to know they are around. Melissa is wearing a Spencer mask, Mary stabs her. Mary knows that Melissa is a helper and it brings her comment about Melissa and Spencer looking like twins full circle.
Then there is a bunch of other random clips Jenna with Addison, one of Aria, etc. before we reach the one with Wren holding a gun and shooting it. When they released the first promo way back that had a close up of the hands with the face and background blurred I said it looked like Wren.. and I was right. I’ve seen several people use this scene to discount why he can’t be AD because “why would they make it obvious in the promo” same thing could be said about throwing a sketchy scene of Melissa in. I’ve also seen several people say that they think it’s going to be Wren saving the girls from AD (I’ve seen variations of people saying he’s shooting a twin or Melissa) and they are taking it from an interview that Marlene did where she talks about Wren being a part of this huge twist and it being something that we as the audience will associate with in a positive way. People are taking this to mean that Wren is actually good, I think Marlene means that it’s something that us as an audience will like and will give good positive feedback on. I’ll go into this a little bit more in a second when I discuss my theory about Wren.
The last scene of Mona and what one could assume is AD I want to talk about more in my Wren theory so I’ll save it until then. So that is my overall thoughts and analysis of the promo. Now to talk about the twin theory and why I think it’s a load of crap.
When the twin theory first started coming out about 2 months ago I was into it. I thought it was a cool and original concept but I couldn’t understand where the logic would be for a twin to do all of this and I don’t feel like Marlene and co aren’t smart enough to write something like that. Now over the past 2-3 weeks the theory has picked up major traction. From what I’ve seen the reason being because of differences in hair style (Spencer’s bangs sometimes being more split to one side), the changes in wardrobe, her not wearing her watch in the 718 Spoby scene, and Spencer’s weird behavior in the 715 scene with Wren and Ezra.
I’m going to lump the first 3 all into one paragraph, the changes in bangs could just be continuity error happens sometimes on shows, the wardrobe changes obviously these people don’t pay attention to the fact that the timeline on this show is wack and there have been as many as 3-4 wardrobe changes in an episode that spans a day or two at most, I am almost positive the only sex scene Spencer ever has worn her watch in was 502. I may be wrong on that but I don’t see that as being too odd.
Now Spencer’s weird behavior in 715... it’s because it was not Spencer. As I stated above Marlene confirmed that someone is going around town wearing a mask because they don’t want people to know they are around. Meeting at the airport would be a spot where not a lot of people would be around that would recognize you but wear a mask just in case. I think Melissa is wearing a Spencer mask and using voice changers or maybe she’s good at imitating voices. We know Melissa has connections to that weird mask maker dude back in was it season 4..? Maybe it was 3..? I’ve lost track but it was revealed through Melissa talking and flashback that she had a working relationship with that guy. So boom has a mask made to make herself look like Spencer. To me this is why I can’t see the Spencer twin thing making sense..
Now, to why I think AD is Wren. I’ve had Wren in my mind as a suspect for a long time. In season 3 I thought he was shady with some of the stuff going on, especially once it was revealed he helped Cece see Mona and it was implied that he and Cece together helped Mona come and go from radley. Eddie Lamb never liked Wren and made it pretty clear. Then in season 4, specifically in 410 that infamous Mona/Wren Scene happened. That episode all around made him look sketchy and it was the last time we saw Wren physically until 715. But the two things I zeroed in on this episode is first what Mona said to him in their scene and second him coloring in that picture at the end of the episode.
His scene with Mona let’s break it down:
“Let’s take a break and see if you can be honest with me.” -W
“Why would I ever be honest with you?”- M
“You used to be.”- W
“Well that was before I realized where your loyalties were.”- M
“I thought that we had done a pretty good job of establishing a trust while you’ve been a patient here”- W
“That was before I realized you were keeping secrets from me.” -M
Obviously from what we know about season 3, Mona was working with Cece and Wren. We know Cece stole the game from her. I think before the game got handed over Wren was working with Mona. It makes how when Emily had all the Human Growth Hormone stuff where she was in the hospital going on make sense. Wren had access to the stuff so that Mona could put it in Emily’s cream. Once Emily was in the hospital Wren was able to set stuff up that happened there like the tray that had the cream on it and such. The way I took this scene to mean was Wren was an ally to her or so she thought but once she was in radley and Cece took over he switched sides. Also makes the last scene in the promo make sense. Mona is at some hospital and AD or someone in a hoodie walks in. Mona says to the person “I never would have guessed it was you.” I honestly take that as a jab the way she says it and the look on her face. She sees Wren as a lackey and nothing more. Didn’t think that he could take over the game and do it himself. And honestly if Wren is AD I could see as one last sign of protection and Mona caring about the girls Mona teaming up with him to take him down.
Another thing that makes me think it’s Wren is the fact that AD tricked the girls to where they were caught for Rollins murder. Now hear me out for a second, because one would think why would Wren care about Rollins’ death and the girls being caught? Wren is British, he’s a doctor, and he admitted in season 3 to Hanna that mental illness runs in his family. Rollins is British, he’s a doctor, and we know he was bat shit crazy. They both look alike. Charlie Craig one of the writers and producers said in September that “Wren plays a really large role in this massive twist in the finale”. A few weekends ago Huw and Andrea were at a con and Huw said that Rollins was a pretty important part of the finale and that we would see him again. While they would have been filming around the time of the finale a picture of Huw and Julian together popped up online I think Julian posted it on his instagram. The big twist is going to be they are brothers and that’s why AD wanted the girls to pay for Rollins’ death. AD never really cared about finding out who killed Cece, honestly they probably already knew it was Mona. They used that through the game to lead on the girls and make them think that they had won and it was all just a trap to get them caught for Rollins’ death. But that plan failed because of Mary taking the blame for Rollins’ death as well as Jessica’s. And with that and Mona being taken to a facility by Dr. Sullivan all the leverage that AD had was gone which is why they packed up and left for a year and possibly too they left because too much pressure they didn’t want to get caught in the crosshairs. Or maybe they weren’t even supposed to be in Rosewood anymore (Wren was at the airport in 715 because of a flight layover and delay).
To me Wren has connections to all the big players, most of the canon fodder went toward Hanna and Allison (Emily was collateral damage) which were the main two involved with Rollins. Hana killed him and Allison had the ability to expose him. Aria was handed a semi free pass but not really once it came out that the leverage used to get her to do things Ezra already knew about. And Spencer for the most part got answers about her real lineage which since Mary worked with Rollins for a time she obviously would have dealt with Wren so there’s how that came to be and honestly the emotional damage of having that letter and knowing who she really was was more damaging to Spencer than anything else AD could have done.
As for Marlene’s comment about Wren’s twist being positive I think she means that we as an audience will like it. Not that he’s the good guy that comes in to save the day. In that scene of him shooting the gun he looks wacked out of his mind. Not like someone trying to save people.
I know this is getting super long so I’m going to stop here. But this is my analysis on everything. I think some things could turn out differently than this but I’m for sure about one thing.. THERE IS NO TWIN. I feel pretty confident about Wren being AD and Melissa a helper, but I could see it being flip flopped, I don’t understand how they would explain Melissa doing it but..*shrugs*
