While we're still trying to wrap our minds around that crazy Pretty Little Liars reveal, it turns out we shouldn't have been so shocked after all. As I. Marlene King said before, this storyline has been in the works for a little over three years, which means they've been dropping hints since 2013! 

It may take fans forever to dig up all of the obvious clues that CeCe/Charlotte has been 'A' all along, but King is revealing there aren't just clues; she straight-up told viewers who 'A' was all the way back in season four! King just confessed to E! News that CeCe Drake was first revealed as 'A' in season four, during the episode titled "Crash and Burn, Girl!"

King explained that Toby and Caleb should have been able to crack the mystery super easily. "It's after the big fire at the lodge and they think they see Ali and someone flew in that plane — and now we know it was Sara Harvey — but we literally say in an episode that the plane was rented by CeCe Drake."

Remember when Toby and Caleb tried for the very first time to crack the mystery of 'A'? They tracked down the plane from the night of the fire and confronted the clerk who rented CeCe the plane.

How could we have been so trusting?! As soon as we heard her name we should have automatically been suspicious! If A's identity was that obvious, what else were we missing?
