Pretty Little Liars is back for it’s fifth season and A is worse than ever. A has shot Ezra, killed Mrs. DiLaurentis and nearly shot each of the liars. To prepare for more of A’s wrath, let’s take a look at A’s most interesting messages.
Before reading this, we have to understand who A is and how it all works. Originally, A was Mona, using the dirt from Alison’s diary to blackmail Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily into doing things. Mona was caught in the second season finale, “UnmAsked” and sent to Radley. After Mona was away, there was a new A, red coat. In the Halloween episode of the fourth season, it was revealed that Alison was red coat but she wasn’t the one blackmailing the girls.
A had been around since the summer before Alison went missing. A terrorized Alison as well, which is what made her fake her own death. A has threatened more than the girls. A told Ella, Aria’s mother, about her husband’s affair. A stole money from Hanna’s mother.
Each of the girl’s significant others have been suspected or actually on the A-team. Toby joined the A-team to protect Spencer and figure out what was going on. Ezra was suspected to have joined the A-team because he was writing a book about Alison but it actually turns out that he loves Aria and was just trying to tell Alison’s story for attention. Paige was suspected to be on the A-team because she hated Alison but instead she was just a backstabber and told the police that Alison was still alive and Emily broke up with her. Caleb met Hanna because he was spying on her. But, it turns out that he’s the most loyal out of all of the boyfriends and was just trying to protect her.
A’s messages come through text, radio, lipstick on mirrors and everything in-between. While all of them are dark and evil, A is very clever on how she gives a message. She even locked Spencer in a steam room and wrote on the mirror.
Here are A’s most vicious and creative messages. If your favorite isn’t on the list, let me know in the comments.

10. The doctor will read you now
Message: “NOSEY BITCHES DIE”
Medium: This was scribbled on Dr. Sullivan’s office wall. After the girls went to her for help.
Who received the message: Dr. Sullivan
Episode: “Blind Dates,” Season 2
Why it was so important: After realizing that Dr. Sullivan was going to find out who A was, Mona (who was A at the time) trashed her office to try to scare her. This didn’t work and Mona had to kidnap her to keep herself hidden.

9. The video message
Message: “Ali, Ali. Oxen-free. Whoever finds her, gets to keep her.”
Medium: After the girls believed that Ezra was after Alison, they tried to hide it from Aria. They walked into a room and saw this video playing at school.
Who received the message: Hanna, Spencer, Emily
Episode: “Who’s In The Box,” Season 4
Why it was so important: Because the video was playing at school, the girls believed that it was another hint that Ezra was after Alison. Really, it was just A trying to make him seem guiltier.

8. The innuendo
Message: “Lucky you, Aria! Other girls have to do their homework. You get to do the teacher…”
Medium: She got the text from A to tease her about dating Ezra. But let’s be honest here, it’s a pretty funny text.
Who received the message: Aria
Episode: “Reality Bites Me,” Season 1
Why it was so important: A being able to ruin Aria and Ezra’s life was a huge part of season one. This was one of the many texts that A sent to scare Aria into breaking up with Ezra.

7. The death threat
Message: “Bitch can't see you, but I do. Tonight's the night I kill you. – A”
Medium: This was sent via text message after Alison believed that Jenna was that one that was sending her the threats. As she walked away, she knew that Jenna didn’t send her the text because she wasn’t looking at her phone.
Who received the message: Alison
Episode: “A is for Answers,” Season 4
Why it was so important: This was sent the day that Alison had to run away. It was the top point of A stalking Alison. This text is what convinced her to run away.
[new page=’A’ French message]
6. The international text
Message: “Stop digging! The police already know it's you that's capable of murder!” (Originally sent in French.)
Medium: This was sent via a post card that Emily had put in Alison’s grave. It was originally sent in French but Spencer translated it for Emily. Seeing the post card made Emily remember her conversations with Alison.
Who received the message: Emily
Episode: “Dead to Me,” Season 3
Why it was so important: This helped Emily to fall apart. She was already upset for killing Nate and now A was teasing her about it. It was awful.

5. The gross text
Message:”Mona played with dolls. I play with body parts. Game on, bitches.”
Medium: This was sent via text message. After Mona was caught, they believed that their A-nightmare was over. However, they received this text after they realized that Alison’s body was missing and Emily helped uncover it.
Who received the message: All of the girls
Episode: “It Happened ‘That Night,’” Season 3
Why it was so important: Just as the girls thought that their nightmare was over, A came back. A set Emily up for stealing “Alison’s” body and was taking credit for it. A knew that the girls couldn’t go to the police because A had something on them.

4. Creepy dolls
Message: “Follow me, end up like me.”
Medium: The girls were sneaking into a dolls shop. A cabinet opened to find a doll that looked like Alison buried in dirt, repeating that sound.
Who received the message: All of the girls
Episode:“If These Dolls Could Talk,” Season 2
Why it was so important: This wasn’t very important. This was just horrifying. The girls were sneaking into a doll shop and the doll just creeped them out. It was awful.
[new page=Hit by ‘A’ car]
3. The Hanna text
Message: “She knew too much.”
Medium: The text message was sent after the three girls saw Hanna get hit by a car. While they believed that she saw A, she actually saw Noel writing on Ezra’s car when he saw Aria and Ezra kissing.
Who received the message: Aria, Emily, Spencer
Episode: “Keep Your Friends Close,” Season 1
Why it was so important: Before Hanna was hit by the car, A had never physically hurt the girls. However, A took a bigger step and actually hit Hanna, upping the stakes of everything.
[new page=’A’ bed message]
2. ’Dirt’y text
Message: “I know you dug her grave. Now I'm digging yours. Kisses, -A”
Medium: Spencer climbed into her bed to find dirt in her sheets. As she pulled her feet out, she found that note in her bed.
Who received the message: Spencer
Episode: “Cover for me,” Season 3
Why it was so important: When Spencer found the dirt in her bed, she figured that Alison’s mother was the one that did it. After she found the dirt, Alison’s mom commented something about changing sheets. Plus, nothing is scarier than knowing that someone was close enough to put dirt in your bed.
