Storylines
Background
Mary's mental health issues allegedly started to show up when she was a teenager, after an incident took place at her sister's job. Jessica was babysitting Teddy Carver, when she phoned Mary to come and replace her. While babysitting, the baby died under her care and she was sent to Radley Sanitarium. Mary told the baby's parents she hadn't even touched the boy and that it was her sister's fault, but no one believed her word due to Jessica manipulating everyone into thinking she was volatile. Mary was forced to stay in Radley until she was 18. However, the woman was readmitted several times over the following decade and eventually gave birth to Charles Drake inside the asylum. The baby was then adopted by Jessica and Kenneth since they feared for the newborn's safety. Mary was permanently released from the psychiatric hospital when she was 28 years old. Not much is known about her whereabouts after checking out of Radley, only that she'd travelled a lot, especially around Europe and Latin America. [2] Some time after this, Mary returned to Rosewood, after discovering that her sister had been murdered, and began working with Elliott Rollins and possibly Uber A to avenge the homicide of her daughter.
Season 6
Drake's first known appearance in the series took place in "Did You Miss Me?" with her, costumed as Jessica, visiting Alison in the local town's hospital. Alison assumes she's having a dream due to the state of her concussion. Mary proceededs to tell Alison that she's happy with her niece's marriage to Elliott Rollins and that he'll be able to protect her in a way that she couldn't.[3][4][5]
Throughout "Hush, Hush, Sweet Liars", Mary and Elliott dress up as Jessica and detective Darren Wilden in order to drive Alison insane and trick her into checking herself at Welby State Psychiatric Hospital. Footage of Mary nearby the fence Caleb built outside the Lost Woods Resort is later captured. However, they did not know of her existence and imagined Jessica DiLaurentis instead. As they left the forest, Mary returned to the DiLaurentis' house and met Elliott, Alison's current husband. There, she asks if Alison "signed the papers." Elliott confirms, saying that 51% of the Carissimi Group shares were diverted at the time Alison signed her entry to the psychiatric hospital. Mary then reveals she is planning a revenge against her deceased sister, Jessica. She then tenderly glances at a picture of Charlotte in a frame and states that her daughter would've been happy with her schemes.[6][7][8]
