What was the deal with...

I'm not even gonna wade into the whole "who were we talking to at the end" question, because that's currently a topic in about thirty other threads. Instead, I'm wondering what everybody's theories are on the following:

  1. Who did TJ hear laughing, and who said "stop laughing at me"?
  2. Why didn’t Faith/Nerissa recognize Woody, and why did it make him so mad?
  3. Why did Lily need her shift covered?
  4. What was the problem with Swineheart's tests on the head?
  5. Why did CM send Crane to Paris?
  6. Why was so much attention drawn to the similarities between Mary's and Faith's/Nerissa's mannerisms? And why did we hear that Mary line in the dialogue flashback at the end? Are they implying that Faith/Nerissa was actually Faith/Nerissa/Mary?
  7. Finally, why won't whoever we see at the end take the ribbon off?

I loved this game, and I'm sure there are answers to at least some of these questions. And I know you folks are just the ones to puzzle it out.

  • Oh, one more: why was Faith leaving Lawrence? She couldn’t take him with her?

    1. That was Georgie, in Episode 4, before you entered the Crooked Man's lair you could hear him say, "stop laughing at me" to Jersey, so I think that Jersey helped him dispose of the body and laughed at him, triggering the same response as in the Crooked Man's lair.
    2. Woody was drunk, which made him very aggressive (I mean, he tried to kill Bigby and all), he wasn't able to think rational.
    3. Dunno, but that doesn't really matter IMO
    4. Dunno either
    5. To keep him safe from Bigby and to prevent him from revealing his dirty business with the Crooked Man.
    6. Which one was the Mary line? I can't remember.
    7. Nerissa explained it. She needed some time to do it herself, some emotional aspect, I can't really explain it myself.
    8. I don't think that Nerissa was Faith. As many others believe, Faith was already dead at the beginning of the game and Nerissa glamoured herself as her to get Bigby's attention.
    1. I dont know either but Mary was saying "See you around...Wolf." and Faith did the same think at the beginning at the Episode 1.And she saluted with her fingers just like Mary. Anyone notice that?

    I think number 2 proves that Nerrissa was glamoured at the beginning, as woody expected faith to know who he was

  • You mean that last line in the episode when bigby's walking to the Woodlands? That is said by Faith's voice.

  • Im not talking about last episode. Im talking about Bloody Mary and bigby scene, i think that was the moment when she almost killed him. Mary said the same think as Faith in 1st episode.

    1. Crane was in Paris in the comic book series...Don't worry Bigby catches up to him
  • At the time I read into that being Woody being pissed off that everyone remembers The Big Bad Wolf and no one remembers the Woodsman that saved Little Red Riding Hood. I'm not sure why Faith SHOULD know Woody if she was indeed her.

  • "Out with the old..

    In with the new..

    Long live the queen.

    Im sure we'll be in touch, see ya round."

    You meant that line? It's similiar but i don't think it has any deeper meaning.

  • Yep, that's what I was talking about. They seemed to draw a lot of attention to it, no?

  • That wasn't Mary's line at the end. "See you around... Wolf", or however it went was said by Faith. Mary just said, "I'm sure we'll be in touch, see ya around."

    1. It implies that Nerissa was glamoured as Faith. I don't necessarily believe it but its out there. Guess Lawrence could have given her those bruises before she was killed.

    2. Why didn’t Faith/Nerissa recognize Woody, and why did it make him so mad?
    Faith pretended she didn't recognize Woody in order to make him mad and taunt him into beating her, so she would have an excuse to ask a girl to cover her for the rest of the night and get killed in her place. Remember Lily's note to Faith we find at the Pudding and Pie? "Thanks for covering me tonight, Faith. Let's talk before you go over to the apartment" - I'm sure Lily would have at least told her who she was going to see, and all about his temper.

    Proof that the one at Woody's apartment was the real Faith? She was carrying the Donkeyskin and left it at Woody's apartment to be found along with the note saying sorry to Lawrence. This also proves she already knew something bad was going to happen to her that night. She was prepared. She was also pretty smart to leave the note in the Donkeyskin, since people are repulsed by it, only someone who had reason to inspect it would find the note to Lawrence and deliver it to him [such as Bigby investigating the last place he saw her alive]

    3. Why did Lily need her shift covered?
    I guess Crane's job came up at the last minute, and it would pay more than Woody's. I mean, who looks like he has more money?
    So Lily asked Faith to cover for her at Woody's while she went to the highest paying client. Again, Lily asked FAITH to go to Woody's apartment, and the arrangement was between the two. So how did Nerissa immediately know where to look for Lily's head to give it to Bigby when she was killed, if she had only told Faith where she was going for the night? That's because Nerissa is Faith

    4. What was the problem with Swineheart's tests on the head?
    He probably noticed something was off, and must be waiting for the glamour to run out of time since the glamouring artifact for it to be undone manually probably was lost with the rest of fake Faith's body. Georgie didn't know the Faith he killed was a glamour, so he just got rid of the body along with the artifact on it.
