The Night Alison DiLaurentis Disappeared 

Imagine someone interested in true crime who never watched pll sees this and thinks Alison Dilaurentis is an actual missing person

can we talk about the fact that like 10 people went through alison's backyard while two girls were buried in it in the span of like 30 minutes??

She was doing so much in one day and I struggle to do two major things without feeling tired and overwhelmed. Allison was so booked and busy

Maybe Alison's couple hours during "prior engagement" were when she took a nap, ate some food, combed her wigs, and just took a freaking break. Girl is busy!

I love how when Ali lies about her age, Ezra is pissed. When Ari lies about her age Ezra dates and then marries her

lowkey want to create a murder dinner thingy for a group of people who haven't watched PLL out of this

The night that Allison disappeared is so iconic it should be made an international holiday and we should wear the yellow top all day 💋

Doing the lords work I see😩Allison and Mona are the MENACES OF THE CENTURY!! But it really is INSANE that these 16 year olds were out here blackmailing, blinding, and MURDERING each other😭

If the writers had done their job right and had actually sat down and put in half of the effort you did for that video MAYBE the show and the timeline would have made sense and this video would have been easier to put together but I'm grateful for the amount of work that went into this, this is impressive!!

ok but are we gonna acknowledge that “vivian darkbloom” is such a campy alias lol like if some lady showed up and gave me that name wearing that outfit i’d be like i need to see an ID immediately

i’ve watched pll three times in full and this timeline still confuses me

35:34 I think Melissa was panicking, thinking Spencer killed Allison with the shovel, so she came barging in demanding to know if Allison was in there, hoping she was.

What I wanna understand is how Alison planned her day to interact with every citizen of rosewood, flew back in state, when did she plan to drug the girls, and the fact that this all happens when she’s like 14 is insane to me Shoutout Sasha Pieterse who was 12 when the pilot was recorded

Alison saw more people on this one day than I did in the entire year of 2020

I actually think Duncan did know Alison's real name because when he was talking with Aria he asks her what Vivian's real name was to prove she is a real friend of Alison's. "And if you're her friend, you'll know her real name."

I also love that the grave at the point where Melissa finds Bethany is just a perfect rectangle as if Grunwwald just neatly dug Alison out instead of just roughly pulling her out the dirt

the amount of teleportation that ali does in the span of this 24 hours is insane. and the only way i can justify the bracelet being with bethany is that ali lost it in the grave trying to dig herself out and the police just found it in there with bethany’s corpse. whether she’s wearing it or not i heavily question. and lol wilden is 50 💀

How much of this could have been avoided if people just checked whether or not the person they bonked/found bonked was still breathing

What I want to know is how Mona had a car when she was supposed to be 15. Cuz when Aria comes back and meets Ezra she’s 16 and it’s the start of her junior year of high school, so the summer before they would’ve all been 15. I suppose it’s possible Mona had recently turned 16, but given her level of intelligence you think she would’ve tested into Kindergarten when she was 5 instead of having to wait until she turned 6 to start…

What i never understood is the geography of rosewood. Where did ali's family live? how maya moved into ali's house on the street near emily, where jenna and toby also lived. They found ali's body there. But this whole night is at spencers barn. And ali's family moves nextdoor to spencer after she dissappears. But in the flashbacks they're also living there. But spencer is not near Emily at all

I wanted an episode dedicated to this so bad, thanks for putting this together 🫡

no matter how long it's been since pll has ended, whenever i see a video regarding it I WATCH. this was one of the good videos

Alison did everything that night, her schedule was CRAZY but can we talk about how Marlene wrote Alison and Ian's story with him tapping a minor and we all were cool with it??

This is giving Mike’s mic recaps-not in a shady stealing way but in a great minds think alike way. Love 😌✨

901 (September 1st) was labor day weekend 2008. I think the writers had forgotten that Alison was missing for about a year before the show started so they used labor day of 2009. That's the only reason I can think of the wonky dates

It’s insane to think about how much stemmed from this day given how horrible the writers were with continuity 😂 like Sydney for example doesn’t come into the show until s4-s5 but she was behind the scenes for years before that

Can we PLEASE stop and just R E A L I Z E how murderous the girls (but people in general, too) in Rosewood were?! I cannot even phantom that, but also the fact that even SPENCER wanted to swing at Alison??? Plus - what do you think Spencer was doing between her talking with Ali and then coming to the barn and telling the girls she heard a scream???

2 things from an american, in relation to around 20:00 : 1. how long it takes to go from georgia to south carolina depends on where you're going in each state. idk if in PLL it ever says specifically where in these states Alison was meant to be, but georgia and south carolina border each other, so technically it could be a five minute drive if you're going from the edge of georgia to the edge of south carolina. there's some towns that are even located in both states, split right down the middle :) 2. i know british people don't see it this way, but an hour and a half is NOT a long commute for us americans, lol. i know several people who have to drive an hour and a half every morning to get to work (which is incredibly depressing, but it puts into context how spending 1.5 hours traveling is no big deal to us. it's because everything is so far apart here.) i have to drive an hour to get into my nearest big city, and that's a short drive to me. if i'm driving into the city for a party i'm like "oh, it's only an hour drive!" so an hour and a half long plane ride wouldn't be a big deal, other than that they were in a small plane and you might need to refuel when you land.

I believe it was later stated that Melissa was calling Garrett when she says, “what do I have to do dial 911 to get your attention.” Because he was a cop.

i was watching this video and when you mentioned that you were working on a video explaining the hastings/dilaurentis/drake family tree, i literally said, out loud, "hUh? girl- good luck, i could never". in all seriousness though- the amount of effort you put into these videos in INSANE and i love them

I think I would’ve liked if the show started with Allison dealing with A alone and then Allison is dead, us as viewers assume A killed her and then they go for the girls and the show carries on as it is. I always liked the flash backs of Ali before going missing

Wish they did more detailed episodes on the flash back stories and the summer camp 😭🙌🏼

re everyone being in the dilaurentis house i imagine jessica was going round the neighbourhood with wilden looking for cece just a thought???

Depending on what part of Georgia Alison’s grandma is, they could be right by Hilton Head. Savannah, GA has a bridge that goes over the Savannah River, which makes South Carolina and Hilton head like a 20 ish minute

I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video focused solely on the day of her disappearance cause till this day I am so confused about it 💀

This is one of the most impressive things I’ve seen anyone do. Your videos are so engaging.

currently rewatching pll on the og dvd set & this is perfect timing to remember how insane this show was lmao thank you for this!

OMG you did amazing with every single detail. Yellow tops are hard to find lol. I actually do have a yellow top, not an exact replica because mine is yellow with black dots but still love it. I also have a yellow swimsuit and yellow sleep shorts.

9:47 confuses me. I thought Alison didn't check in at The Lost Woods resort as Vivian until after Mona found her on the road with blood trailing down the side of her head. Mona did say "I put the room under the name you told me to. Vivian Darkbloom." It was something like that.

Heey, love your pll deepdives! And honestly, one of the things i love about the show is that after yearrss of watching rewatching it and recaps and going down rabbit holes, looking for answers and all that, i'm still finding out new stuff and have many things that i'm just connecting... mindblowing. and i love that there are other people just as obsessed as i am, thank you for that haha

33:41 was literally thinking “her makeup looks amazinngg today” and then you did the close up and I was like hell yeah girl, get iiittt!

knowing that the series is based off of a book series and that the girls were 12 YEARS OLD when ali disappeared keeps me up at night

oh my god i am SO excited to watch this video!! thank you, lauren ❤

love your videos especially the PLL ones!

I need you and mikes mic to collaborate now because these whiteboards are giving me life

Would love to see a pre-disappearance video Wasn't Ali 14 when she was with Ezra? Bc when Aria comes back she's 16, the year before then Ali went missing during summer, and it was the summer before that one Ali was with CeCe&Wilden&Jason wherever on that boat?

OMG! THIS IS TOO CRAZY!! I had this idea a few months ago and told my sister I wished the someone would go through the entire night she disappeared AND clip all the scenes together in chronological order so you could watch from start to finish !!!!

haha i love your description of hilton head as a golf club 😂😂 hilton head is actually an island, off the coast of south carolina. it’s like a whole city, but it’s mainly a town where people go on holiday. i think there are a few, or maybe a lot idk lol, of golf courses and country clubs there, and i’m sure that a lot of people do go there to golf. but it’s a really popular holiday destination for families bc there’s a lot of resorts and shopping and tourist stuff to do. there’s a lot of nice beaches and a lot of people get around the town on bikes that they rent. it’s really nice haha i have only been once but i live in cincinnati, ohio and i hear about people going to hilton head all the time lol but i’m also kind of obsessed with your description of hilton head bc it’s great haha anyway sorry for the novel but thought i’d comment for the algorithm and to tell you to put hilton head on your usa bucket list because you’d love it!! and i’m only five minutes into the video but i am a big fan so far lol

Ahh I’ve been hoping someone would piece this all together! Love it!

i love this!! it makes it so much clearer for me, can’t wait for the next one i love all your pll videos🩷

I’m just saying the writers really made their life more difficult with this day

Mike's mic is having a fucking aneurysm rn

“…i don’t know if anyone would be interested in that…” me: returning for my 9th breakdown of this show, this week, to make it make sense…

Omg this is soooooo COOL!!!!! I love PLL I’m so happy someone made a vid like this!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖

Didn’t Sara Harvey disappear around the same time Ali did? Like she worked with Cece but cece wasn’t A back then. I never understood that part.

How is all of this happening in a summer night?? Winter maybe I could believe but apparently in Philadelphia sunrise is 5:30am and sunset is 8:30pm in summer??????

Also isn’t Sarah Harvey involved in this night too? She went missing around the same time bc cece kidnapped her which would make no sense since cece wasn’t A until she stole the game from mona in season 3. God the plot holes from this night are so big lmaooooo

I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!!!

This deserves way more views than it has

What a crazy night it was! Thank you for this video, I could never sort this out by myself

Now I just need someone to do a video about the Never Ending November!

thank u for your service omg

You should do a video on Serena van der woodsen when she was in boarding school . I don’t know the time line for that either .

I appreciate the effort !!

Okay so let me just start by saying. Damn, I couldn't do what you did. Big props! Second of all, I'm halfway through and I had some comments and thoughts. To start with one: I don't think Wilden is told everything about what Jessica did in the flashback, on that night. I think he just got paid for the fact that CeCe (someone he is seen with on the boat in a photo with both Ali and CeCe (so a friend?) escaped and that needs to be stricken from the record. That is why, he only knows one thing for sure at the beginning. Ali is dead, Cece (a friend who only comes in at season 3 is not available) but these girls are hiding something. I think, he thinks, they know what happened... And they're purposefully not telling it. That combined with his ego and narcism is the reason he tries to get it out of the liars, any means necessary. My biggest theory is... A controversial one. I think Wren was supposed to be Big A, starting season 3. The biggest hints are in Season 4, the only episode Wren (Julian Morris) is in 4x10 "The Mirror Has Three Faces". Mona tells him that she killed Wilden because she realised that the Liars and her are on the same side of the problems. She confronts him about keeping secrets from him, "because she realised where his loyalties layed" -- I think she is talking about being shady together with Cece (since he knows that shit too about the red coat, since he draws them at the end of the episode) -- The next thing he does when he meets Hannah is call someone "to take care of the problem on their end, and he will do that too" -- I think it's Cece (hence he draws or colors the red coat at the end when he got what he wanted! The truth out about Mona not killing Wilden and making an illegal confession -- Wren goes to freaking Veronica Hastings and manipulates her into thinking Mona is dangerous for the girls and "hasn't forgiven them and wants to see them hurt" to get the truth out. -- IF EVERYTHING IS SWITCHED WAIT FOR IT -- Wren killed Wilden by the Lake with the gun shooting him twice (as the featurette "whodunnit" in season 7 suggest because Charlotte shot Wilden) -- That means he knows Mona is lying and tries to outsmart her and the liars. Because... Here it comes. Jullian Morris (Wren Kingsley) was supposed to be revealed as Charles DiLaurentis. Wait here. Charles (is the son of Mary Drake along with Spencer) Spencer and Charles AKA Wren are both brown haired, just like their mother and his father would be Pastor Ted, a blonde haired guy! I believe Wren was the original choice but Julian wasn't availlable and that is why they chose ANDREW (yeah, that guy) as a back-up Charles. He got arrested around the same time before season 6 happened, which meant that he both couldn't star on the show anymore and it would hurt the image since it wasn't Freeform yet. And still ABC Family. And to top it off... If Wren is actually Charles, that means that everything in Season 6, the boy with the blonde hair *in the flashbacks as charles* needs to be removed. And in "Game Over, Charles" Bethany AND Charles can actually be old enough at the age of Toby's age of 15 because... Wren/Charles is older then Spencer! So when Toby was 15, Charles/Wren could actually be old enough to still be in Radley along with Bethany. Another fun thing... Just ignore the fact that he works at Radley later, because I think he would have some blackmail or something which would give him access to work there. Or... He really did got out at 18 and went to medical school becoming Wren Kingston. He is in EPISODE 1. ONE. And... That would make everything they TRIED to do connecting him to the fever dream of Alex Drake actually make freaking sense. Wren would figure it out, he does tell Cece that but not because she needs to know. Cece still meets Archer on the plane and I think Wren and Cece were the actual partners who tried to be A together, with Wren or Charles being the BIG A. Noel, Jenna, Sydney, Shana and everyone else were just onder their thumb and were only allowed to speak about it with Cece. Not knowing who was truly behind it all... The entire flashback of "that night" becomes soo clear, because then Cece CAN be talking to Melissa in the garden as Jason hallucinated and like what was said in the video. Was probably to be CANON. That would mean that Wren/Charles hit Bethany with a rock on her head, for trying to kill his mother or who he thinks his mother is, or aunt if knows that Mary Drake is his mother (as the file suggest in 6x20 that they find in the Radley Hotel). We all wanted it to be Wren (big a, i mean) and I think alot of the story beats where thought of since season 3 except for the whole Charles becoming Cece, actually being a girl and everything. And it is shown, because there was a lot of hatred from making a trans character the villain and I actually think, it wasn't the plan. This was. Because this would finally make this show work. Untill season 5 and a bit of season 6. We can all agree it was freaking random that Wren met Alex Drake in England, got into a relationship with her, ended up shooting her and got turned into a diamond. Because even then MARLENE said: "We wrote the scene for Wren to be killed by Alex, but we couldn't get him for the many days we needed" - So... Julian was shown to already be unavailable at much times, that is why they couldn't make him Big A, even though everything was leading up for it to be... Plus, If Alex Drake would have actually killed Big A (Charles) and they would be in a relationship together (as making season 7 canon in this theory) that would actually be the most insane plot point of it all. But it would make ALL THE SENSE Of THE WORLD. And to finish it all... I think that is the story Marlene told Keegan and Troian around season 5 as what has been revealed to be "the storytime of the entire ending of the show". That would also make the whole Alex Drake thing a little less convoluted, if Charles/Wren is his sister. Another thing i found out the flashback of Jessica storming in at Alisson behind the piano telling her that "she got called that her daughter was in Radley a danger to herself" but it was actually Cece Drake, would also be cleared up this way. And that plot inconsistency and guess what freaking episode that flashback is also from... 4x10, again. That episode reveals the outline, I think what actually was supposed to happen after Ali turned out Alive, and... Told that ther mother burried her. Meaning it was Charles/Wren who burried Jessica at the end, since she was killed by her twin sister... I think after that he learns that Mary Drake is actually his mother. Thus being mad at her and him having met Archer Dunhill because of Cece being his Right Hand Girl. That would explain why Archer would try to work with Mary Drake and screw her over at the very last second, having revenge for Charles/Wren. Because Mary thinks she is trying to get revenge for Charles/Wren. As the same flashback of Alisson behind the piano reveal about Cece turning up as "Jessica's in distress daughter at Radley" that would actually explain how Cece could have worn the bracelet in that moment because she was "dressed in Alissons clothes" and... She takes everything of for Bethany to find the bracelet. IN episode 5x05 - Scream for me - Emily and Spencer discover that "Aunt Jessie" -- Jessica DiLaurentis obviously took Bethany to the Horse Stables to go riding (because of guilt since she was banging her father) maybe trying to have a relationship with her. In the letter of Bethany to Alisson she is thanking her for the clothes, because "yellow is her color" hence why she got it (because it is confirmed in 5x13 christmas episode) that Alisson found two sets of the same clothes as a child and then having to lie about it. Why would she have to do that? That's right because she cannot know that her mother is having an affair. Alisson sended her the same top as hers, to maybe kill her? I think Bethanny knows that Jessica or "aunt jessie" is using sleeping pills, so she dresses as her own daughter, with the braclett from Cece (which Alisson would be responsible for by her own fault, dooming her inevitable capture) going to Jessica to drug her and maybe kill, incriminating that Alisson DiLaurentis would have killed her own mother. That is also confirmed by 5x12 when Mona is telling the liars that "Alisson lured Bethany to Rosewood and knew about the affair, she wanted her dead" - In a previous episode when Mona and Spencer are at Radley she is saying on the voice recording - "I wonder if I can trust anyone in that family, is it like mother like daughter" - She could've figure out what Alisson tried to do hence forth drugging and then killing Mrs. D on "that night" and thus incriminating Ali for the murder as revenge, by wearing her the top she sended her. That means that Alisson bought the top first for Bethany and sending it to her, before her mom bought the same top for her. (That would exonerate everything of the Cece is A storyline) thus making the Wren is Charles theory again, so much more plaussible and I think. The actual truth.

so so glad that this found its way into my recommended!!!!

always important to be kind and respectful to people! especially when fixing or handling a mistake

Finally a definitive timeline

perfection🤝🏻🧚🏼❤️

You 🤝 mikes mic

Not enough people stringing that timeline together. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Maybe Ali's first A was Jenna not Mona, and Sydney&Shana joined in when they heard about Ali blinding Jenna, but they were only in on the A texts at this point they weren't ride or die for Jenna yet which is why Jenna uses Ian to go confront/get revenge on Ali

love u for this, okay? okay ♡

Phenomenal work, can’t wait for the Hastings/Dilaurentis/Drake family tree 🤯

an HOUR??? finally someone who gets me. instant sub.

more like the day that alison wore the yellow top ☝️😭

how was this an hour long i feel like this was 10 minutes im gonna need more pll content

Bc the girlies needed this one 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Please do all before alison disappeared! I LOVE YOUR PLL VIDS

Melissa was looking for Spencer when she entered Ali's room

PLL was the show that taught me that apparently in the US (at least in some states), children as young as like 15 are allowed to drive cars lol I remember being so confused and later looking it up on the internet

Yes please , please do the predisappearance video

This show is so unhinged

Your eyeshadow slayed

This video is so iconic u don’t even understand

This is the content I need to see when I first open RU-vid 🎉🎉🎉

The amount of people she saw that Labor Day Weekend, girl was booked, busy and blackmailing everybody, drugging her BFFs and still got played by Mona

I feel like I’m going to love this video

Wilden is a vampire that’s the only was he makes sense

Alison had 34 hours in the day i swear

19:00 from what i remember she went to georgia to try to convince her grandma to take jason out of her will which is why there was a possible motive for jason to kill ali, also the flight from south carolina to pennsylvania in duncan’s plane probably would’ve been shorter than a regular airport flight

So basically Allison blackmailed before the A situation, but began hardcore blackmailing because of A

She went to take a nap during the "prior engagement" because how did she have the stamina to do all that in one day 😭

i would so be interested in a before allisons disapeerance video!

I can’t believe I watched pretty little liars for YEARS and never knew Alison disappeared on my birthday that’s crazy

Clicked for the subject, stayed for the 2002 high school printer quality photos and the random board attacks 😂❤🎉

I'm so happy to have some new pll content

Honestly when I first watched this show I thought that maby allison wasent dead and was the first a all along

I saw a new PLL video With Alison in the title and I DROPPED everything I was doing to watch this. Perfect video, thank you for your hard work! I'm sick and this is exactly what I needed today! 🥺💞💞 And I would also love to see a video of pre-disappearence Alison's life, it was quite eventful!

I just refuse to believe that the odds 2 girls are buried in the same backyard wearing the same top on the same night are that big
