Unexplained Mysteries and Loose Ends
I'm sorry... I understand that we've caught the Crooked Man and there's no need to backtrack considering there's all this speculation regarding Faith and Nerissa, but a few things just bother me. I understand there may never be a real answer and I'm just tricking myself into believing in a twisted Happy Ever After, but I want to see what some members of the Community think!
At the Cut Above, in the meat locker, you see that the warning light saying RUN is on, and there are shackles on the ground. The shackles are surrounded by blood, as though someone was trying to escape. Was anyone else concerned and wanted to find out just who was trapped? Where they are?
At Auntie Greenleaf's apartment, you knock the door and you see Rachel. Her daughter. Was she just lost in the fight for the homelands or is she wandering the Earth looking for her mother? For a while, I tricked myself into believing that she became Bloody Mary (eye color and face shape similarities). But, this old woman never gives us a straight answer. I would like to know where she actually ended up.
The Magic Mirror and Crane, He's heading for Paris as it would seem. Will he ever be brought back to Fabletown and arrested? Wolf Among Us Season 2: The Big Bad Wolf in Paris.
All of the Crooked Man's Goons. The Tweedles and Jersey... What of them? They openly attacked the Sheriff and harassed citizens of Fabletown. What of them? Will they give up their lowlife jobs?
Then the Woodman. He walks away saying "You Know me", and that was it. What about the Woodman? I felt very attached to the guy despite their bad past. He attacked Jersey in Bigby's time of need. He's a depressed man without a real name without any friends considering what he and Lily did. I fear the worst for him, but am hopeful.
I just thought it'd be interesting to hear the Communities theories regarding these characters or even hear some of their Unexplained Mysteries. Maybe they could tie up some Loose Ends or give some members, like myself, some peace of mind.

I wanna know where the hell faiths body is at.
Oh yeah... That too. XD
It seems to me that they are definitely setting up a sequel (if sales were strong enough.) This is a film noir story, and we haven't seen the reveal on the Femme Fatale yet. You know Narissa has to fit this role. We have already seen her as sexy and manipulative. All we need to learn now is how she secretly pulled the strings to cause the fall of the Crooked Man.
Good catch. Those people are still missing. I felt that they never mentioned the slave labor again, and I was hoping there would be some resolution.
My original guess was that her daughter just never made it out of the homelands. But I recently found out that she is a character from New York's folklore. I think you might be right that there could be a good story there. She also argued for the imprisoning of the Crooked Man. Maybe she knew something about Nerissa's plans.
Cool idea, but I don't think so because this would bring the plot into conflict with the comics
Right! Where was their trial?
I think he just meant, he'll be around.
Auntie Greenleaf's daughter is indeed dead, I believe. I'm pretty sure it said that in her Book of Fables entry.
As for The Magic Mirror and Crane... His fate appears in the comics under Fables comics issue #22 with the cover showing Ichabod smiling and Cinderella debuts for the first time.
That's Ichabod? Damn he's got a full head a hair!
Both magic mirror and crane story continue in the Fables comics
that's 30 years after the games story lol
Absurd maybe. But imho Telltale probably won't be adding him back to TWAU. It wouldn't make sense to me that Bigby would chase after Crane with so little evidence in order to execute Crane.
Sharp observation there. But nah. Just the cover art is different is all. Crane in Fables looks exactly as he does in the game.
Well, the only actual crime he committed in the game was some misappropriation of funds.
They go after him for something else entirely in the comics. But his past troubles are mentioned as the cause for his estrangement from Fabletown.
Man, Bigby took his time.
