The final showdown between Alison DiLaurentis and Matty DiLaurentis has finally arrived.

"Everything was finally going well for me. For my friends... And you ruined all of that. You made me get them to come back here, pulled us back into this game that had ended five years ago. Why, Matty?" asked Alison.

"You know exactly why, Ali," said Matty.

"Take off your hood. Show yourself. I want to talk to you face-to-face," said Alison. Matty put his hands up and grabbed the hood of his hoodie...

 And pulled it off, revealing a ghastly burn covering the right side of his face

... And pulled it off, revealing a ghastly burn covering the right side of his face.

"Oh my God," said Ali.

"This was all your fault, Ali," said Matty.

"How was it my fault? I didn't do this to you," said Ali.

"No, but you're the reason I ended up in that... That place," said Matty.

"Hold on. Before you say anything else... If you got burned so badly, why did you set off that firework at the carnival at St. Bridges? Why risk it happening again?" asked Ali.

"What can I say? Everyone in this family just loves to play with fire... Remember the Jenna thing?" asked Matty.

"That was an accident, and how did you even know about that?" asked Ali.

"I know every secret, Ali. Every lie. It's been me, from the beginning. I was the one sending you those A messages before you disappeared. I was the baby face you saw in the costume store," said Matty.

"So you've been wearing that mask from the start?" asked Ali.

"What, you thought Mrs. Vanderwaal could pull all of that off? She was only an amateur. That's why she wound up dead. I'm the puppet master," said Matty.

"You're not going to die. Not today. I want you to suffer for all the things you've done. I want it all to consume your thoughts for the next however many years you're living. I'm not going to give you an easy out by killing you... But I'm not going to let you get away with all of this, either," said Ali.

"Oh yeah, and how do you suppose you're going to accomplish that?" asked Matty.

"Game over, Matty. You lose," said Ali.

A few weeks later, Matty DiLaurentis was found dead in his room at the asylum. He had killed himself, and all that he had left behind was a note written for Ali: 'She's going to kill you.' Who was 'she' ? The game wasn't over... But the girls couldn't go on living every waking moment being scared. They had to move on with their lives. A was dead.
