Where has Melissa gone off to now? Last time she was in Rosewood she was suspected of killing Charlotte. Ever since then she's been mysteriously absent and one has to wonder why? What are you up to Melissa? As Reddit user spencerdrake5 points out, Melissa has been there since the very beginning and has been part of almost every major event.
She was there when Alison disappeared, during the lodge fire, on the Halloween train, etc. Sure she hasn't been around recently, but the fact that she was around for all these notable events seems a bit suspicious and may hint that she isn't as far away as we think. The main reason people don't think Melissa is A. Sure, she comes from a family of intelligent people, but it's still hard to believe.
One possible explanation for this from the writers' perspective is that they needed one of the girls to stand up to evil genius Alison. In order to do so, that person would need to be a genius herself. That's where Spencer comes in. Her intelligence may work slightly differently from Alison's and she's definitely not as manipulative as the queen bee.
Still, she's more than a match for her. This is another relationship with an age gap. Again, why Pretty Little Liars? And this is also a case of Spencer being with her sister's boyfriends. What is with that? As if the two sisters don't have enough to argue about.
One possible explanation for this is that the Hastings sisters are competitive and always want what the other one has. Yet you'd think that wouldn't extend to people. Another possible explanation is that the writers wanted to cause some drama between Alison and Spencer and this is what they thought of. Something that would cause the maximum amount of drama.
The Hastings sisters in Pretty Little Liars have a complicated relationship, to say the least. The two of them are kind of hot and cold with each other: sometimes they get along and other times they don't.
Despite this complicated relationship, Spencer regularly defends her sister to her friends when they think she's "A. Melissa isn't exactly the best sister. In a way, it would've made sense if she was "A. You'd think Spencer would be smarter than that. Yes, she's had relationships with age gaps herself but you'd think she'd draw the line at her friend dating their teacher.
Age gaps like this one, where one part of the relationship is underage, are not the healthiest as it is, but add in the power unbalance when one part of the relationship has authority over the other part and you've got Ezra and Aria's situation. So Spencer should know better than to support such a relationship.
One possible reason for Spencer's support, from the writers' perspectives, is that they want the audience to root for Ezra and Aria. How is Spencer so gutsy after everything she's been through?
You'd think all the "A" stuff would wear her down. Yet she still remains gutsy. Good for her. It doesn't quite make sense, though. She'd most likely be at least a little more cautious given everything that "A" has put her through.
Yet she isn't. At least not to the extent you'd think she would be. One possible explanation for this is that Spencer is a main character and one of the protagonists of Pretty Little Liars. We're meant to root for her. And people are more likely to root for someone with a lot of guts than someone who is scared and cautious all the time. Now, this wouldn't be extraordinary if Mona weren't a genius herself.
Don't forget, Mona was "A" for quite a while and always managed to be one step ahead of Spencer and the rest of the Pretty Little Liars protagonists. So outsmarting her is a big deal. It doesn't fully make sense if you really think about it.
Yet there are some possible explanations. One explanation is that Spencer needed to outsmart Mona for plot reasons. Another is that the writers really believe Spencer is smarter than Mona, despite Mona's impressive time as "A. During season three episode two, the Liars witness Jenna looking at an earring, proving that she can see.
Emily, Hanna, and Aria want to confront her but Spencer stops them, claiming they can use this information against Jenna. But why not use it right away? It might be the smart thing to do in some situations but not likely in this one.
After all, the longer they wait the more time it gives "A" to somehow interfere, as "A" often does. One possible explanation for this is that the writers didn't want the Liars to confront Jenna right away because of plot reasons. Now this one really makes no sense. With how intelligent Spencer is you'd think she'd realize that. First of all, why would Paige be "A?
Sure, she didn't get along with Alison but she doesn't seem like the type to take it out on Alison's friends. Especially Emily, who she has feelings for. So why bother Emily and the rest of the Liars, then? We're thinking that Spencer didn't fully think this one through. One possible reason for Spencer's suspicion is that the writers were not sure for a while of the identity of "A" and wanted to bring up a few possible suspects, possibly to see how fans would react.
She doesn't seem like the type to overshare, yet she includes in her college admissions essays information about her time in Radley, the psychiatric hospital, and her struggles with mental illness in general. She is later advised by Ezra not to do so, yet she doesn't think not being honest will help her. While it is often true that honesty is better than dishonesty, sometimes there is such a thing as too much honesty.
One possible explanation for Spencer's oversharing is to show how much stress she is under at the time. What is Melissa Hastings big secret? Did Melissa know Spencer was adopted? Is Melissa Hastings Good or bad? Why did Melissa hate the liars? Why is Shana A? Why did Charlotte hit Alison with the rock? Why did Bethany hurt Jessica? Why did Mona fake her death? Instead of being a fun villain, though, Sydney is just boring. He's incredibly manipulative and he plays with Spencer's heart at various times throughout the show.
In the beginning, he and Melissa are in a serious relationship, but he flirts with Spencer and creates an awkward but juicy love triangle. Then it turns out that he's pure evil, as he's been in a relationship with Spencer's twin, Alex Drake, and the two of them have been working against the main characters.
