THE ENDING COMPLETELY EXPLAINED THEORIES PUT TO REST
[Mod edit: Added some spacing for readability.]
Faith "died" before we even met Nerissa's character meaning that if Theory 1 is true then Faith can act how ever she pleases while Glamoured as Nerissa because Bigby doesn't know the true Nerissa's character. Yes, I noticed times where Nerissa had an inconsistent character, but given this inconsistency allows you to realize that there are two Nerissas! One being Faith and one being the actual Nerissa. While Nerissa is alone with Bigby, like while in his office, and at the end you notice Nerissa shows signs of strength and confidence like Faith showed in the beginning of the game. But while Bigby talked to Nerissa at the Pudding N' Pie (unexpected) she seems nervous and afraid, allowing you to question who Nerissa really is by the end of the game.
The reason why Faith wanted to bring down the Crooked Man and Crane: **the lack of money brought her husband to great depression**. They were the only men in Fabletown that could have helped and her husband, Prince Lawerence, was the only man/ family that she had (because she had to run away and hide herself in fear of being forced to be married to her father).
Both Nerissa and Faith are alive, Faith being glamoured as Nerissa when doing the things that Nerissa must do without showing weakness. Who's head was glamoured as Faith's for Bigby to find CRANE. This may seem a bit wild and far fetched but Crane and the Crooked man are the two wealthiest and most powerful men in Fabletown and they are what allowed Faith to face extreme poverty forcing her only family to commit suicide. (**Conduit42:I guess this next part is how she tried to get back at them for that?**)
Faith glamoured herself as Crane when taking those photos with Lilly allowing Snow White to entirely distance herself from Crane and feel no more responsibility and respect for him. You never see the stern Nerissa and Crane at the same time allowing Faith to be glamoured as both while the story progressed. Crane left huge clues for Bigby to find which can allow anyone to believe that he did this purposely. The picture of him and Lilly was found too easily, Crane's jacket with the mirror piece kept in still working condition, and all the glamour tubes left at his apartment. These tubes were left by Faith because they were her's, but she left them because she wanted to make it look like Crane was working with the illegal manufacturer of glamours so that the trail continues to lead Bigby to bring down the Crooked Man. The reason why Faith pushed to leave town so bad was because she knew that there was no more reason for his presence in Fabletown. Crane before glamoured as Lilly was still a crooked mayor and that's why the Crooked man still felt the importance to get "Crane" because he was afraid "Crane" would reveal the true Crooked Man if a trial was ever conducted. That leaves one part unaccounted for... Lilly's death. Lilly had to die for two reasons:
1) She was too big of a liability to Nerissa and Faith because she was the one that was in the picture with "Crane" meaning that she knew it was Faith glamoured. She had a major problem with substance abuse and felt a strong loyalty to both her clients and her boss. Lilly was a loose cannon ready to unveal all the secrets that would have made Nerissa and Faith guilty of all. We know Faith isn't afraid to get her hands dirty because she killed Crane and stood her ground against the Woodsman. Faith wasn't going to let her entire plan to avenge her husbands death and bring down the two most corrupt people in Fabletown all go to waste because of a substance addicted whore.
2) Faith knew the importance of keeping the case going and creating more casualties to keep Bigby and White on an eager search to find the killer while resenting their greatest enemy, the Crooked Man all the more. But why did the Crooked man order the girls to their deaths and why did Georgie say he carried out these orders? The girls showed the Crooked man the photo so he knew his puppet, Crane, would be kicked out of office. They showed the Crooked Man this photo as leverage to be released from their, (the Crooked Man and Georgie's), captivity. Before the photo could get out, he ordered their deaths. But Georgie didn't kill either one! They both randomly died right in front of him in his eyes. But he didn't want to seem weak and unprofessional so he told his boss that it was him that carried out his orders. How did Faith know that Georgie would act in this manner? Because he's all about his image and looking tough (given his tattoos and his harsh mistreatment of women). Georgie also didn't want to tell the Crooked Man, his boss, that he didn't conduct these murders because he would be stating that there is a more powerful unknown group of individuals in Fabletown performing activities like the Crooked Man.

(**What I'm sure everyone was looking for**) **TL;DR? Faith and Nerissa masterminded the entire plot of "The Wolf Among Us". It was Faith, glamoured as both Crane (yes, Jackobeach is saying Faith was Crane, even while "he" was with Lilly.) and Nerissa, herself. Together they planned numerous Fable deaths, including Faith's, just to get Bigby and Snow on The Crooked Man's trail for keeping them in captivity as prostitutes (Faith did it for the added bonus of trying to avenge her husband's great depression due to lack of money). Nerissa and Faith also planned Lilly's death because she was too loyal to the Crooked Man and Georgie due to the drugs they gave her**.
I tried not to change it too much, other than paragraphing it and some... grammar issues. I hope it helped?
Nobody truly knows. These threads are pointless.
