I know that everyone's brains are seriously exhausted from watching this insanity of a mid-summer finale. But we need to look at the entire picture here.
I do not believe that Nate killed Maya. Of course he was the stalker from Tru North and he was most likely in love with her and obsessed with her. He said that Emily took Maya away from him and he wanted to take Paige away from Emily because Emily let him down similar to how Maya let him down and that set him off. Yes, he sounds crazy and could easily be. But I think it was all a plan to scare Emily. When Emily ran into the woods she said, "Nate! You scared me half to death" I can't remember what he said exactly, but he said something like "I haven't yet, but I will". In that line, he would've been referring to scaring Emily not killing Emily. If he really wanted to kill Emily and Paige, he could've EASILY gotten away with it because Nate St. Germain doesn't exist.
Just because Paige was tied up, does NOT equal innocence. I and I hope everyone agrees with me when I say that Paige is freaking psychotic. I think Paige and Nate are working together. I'll show you how.
- Paige tells Emily that during her drunk night out on the town, Emily came to Paige's house and kissed her. (**Keep in mind that Emily was remembering the events from that night, Paige fed her this information) Emily was uncertain about the whole thing and asked Nate what it meant. His answer caused Emily to go to Paige's house that night.
- Paige drinks from Emily's flask and falls down at Jenna's party. Emily rushes to her aide and so does Nate. If he didn't know her, why would he rush to her? No one else at the party did....
- Paige sees Nate and Emily kissing. AND SHE DIDN'T CONFRONT HER ABOUT IT. You just witnessed your lesbian girlfriend makeout with a guy and she calmly waited until Emily confessed to her. Okay she knocked over a trash can or two, but really? That reaction was not sufficient for anyone in a relationship.
- Hanna and Emily find the knife in Maya's bag with the initials LJ (which we all know stands from Lyndon James). The knife goes missing. Paige has easy access to the knife. If her and Nate are working together, she easily could've given it to him. *Noted - Emily showed Maya's bag to Nate, he could've taken the knife at that time.
- How did Paige escape from the duct tape? That takes two. Could be Nate, could be the police.
- Nate clearly said that he had been "planning this for months". If the plan was to kill Emily, he would've just called Emily up and said hey lets go and they go, she's killed, he runs. That takes a day to plan. If the plan was to kill Paige and have Emily watch that takes a little longer. But if the plan took MONTHS that means that all the events leading up to this could have very well been planned by Nate. Emily forgets an entire night and Paige force feeds her the information that Emily came to her house that night. Emily runs to Nate and asks what it all means. Emily and Paige get together based on that answer. Because of Emily's relationship with Paige and all the "evidence" leading up to the liars (excluding Em) believing Paige was A. Emily is now stuck in a rut, has no one to turn to and spills to Paige about A. Paige and Nate pulled Emily away from her friends, Nate gets Emily out in the woods to do or show her what?! I don't know because Emily escaped and whatever plan he had was thrown out the window. THAT takes months of planning.
I'm about 99% sure about this theory. Also, another reason why I seriously, seriously don't want to believe Paige is innocent is that's what they want us to think. She was made out to look like a victim and now the liars will deeply apologize and begin the process of accepting Paige and Emily's relationship. It reminds me of when Mona said in 2x25 that now the liars will sleep with their doors open... don't they know that's what we want.
Questions we need to consider.
- Who was Mona on the phone with when she said, "I'm here... I understand"? It wasn't Toby because he was gettin' down with Spencer.
- How does Nate know about A? He sent that text to Paige and signed it as A. None of the liars have told him about A. How does he know?!
- Was he in Rosewood long before he found Emily at The Brew? Maya stayed in Rosewood when we thought she had gotten on a train and ran far, far away and was right in Rosewood for most of the time.
- Who is Maya's killer? I believe that Maya's killer and Ali's killer are the same person because of the text Spencer recieved.
- Who framed Garrett? The person who framed Garrett is either their killer or covering up their killer's tracks
- Why did Jenna leave Rosewood?
- Did Jenna and Garrett see who grabbed Maya? It's very possible AND at that time in the show, Jenna could actually see. Although in Noel's security footage, she had glasses and a walking stick
- WHO HAS ALISON'S REMAINS??!??!?!?!??!?!!!!!!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
BIG QUESTION.
When Mona was talking to Toby (who looked very attractive in his A get up), She said "If I knew Nate was going to get Garrett out of jail, I would've have come out tonight". This hints that Mona could have been out before (I now think that was her and Toby at the jukebox scene) OR its really easy for her to escape. But the BIG QUESTION is HOW did Nate get Garrett out of jail? If you watched this episode at face value (you can't do that with this show) you would assume that Nate killed Maya and somehow that freed Garrett from jail. NO. Garrett was arrested from the death of Alison DiLaurentis NOT Maya St. Germain. It was assumed that he killed her too, but we all know that wasn't possible because he was already in police custody at the time. So what did Mona mean by "Nate was going to get Garrett out of jail" ??? If Nate/Lyndon came to Rosewood when he said he did he would never have met Alison. There is no way that we as the viewers know how NATE freed GARRETT from jail for death of ALISON.
It doesn't add up.
- I finally understand my "Big Question", but I'm still gonna leave it up here for more opinions. xo
Bryan Holdman's Tweet and Marlene's interview
It would be much appreciated if people would stop posting the link to that. Trust me, I've seen it. I'm not saying that I don't believe anything they say, but I'm just wary and cautious to believe what they say. Mar did tweet that Nate is a good guy. We all know how that turned out.
