The fashionably late arrival to the party always manages to turn the most heads. At first, new swim team member Sydney Driscoll seemed innocuous and sweet, admiring Emily for her nautical ability. But recent turns of events have shown Sydney’s motives to be other than wholesome, and it’s still unclear where her sympathies actually lie.

We here at YA have been thinking about it, and have a theory or two. One idea is that she could actually have been related to Bethany, the dead girl mistakenly identified as Ali. Perhaps Sydney and Bethany were sisters? Because the other question is, now that Sydney is revealed to be part of Mona’s army along with Jenna, what’s in it for her? What does Sydney have against Ali?

Maybe, just maybe, Sydney is somehow connected to Bethany – perhaps by blood. This would explain at least some of Sydney’s actions, wanting revenge after Bethany met her end on the DiLaurentis property all those years ago. Only time will tell!
