Ok, giving a kid a candy covered in playdoh to go foward in a investigation does remind me of something... I would say she's probably related to a certain Scotland Yard detective who was investigating some druids or something...
And here's an interesting comment I found on the Youtube's comment section that could be interesting for a follow-up episode:
Maybe the "war" they were talking about at the end of the game was against an imminent rebel attack, and maybe the fashion consulant dropping those truth bombs could be something that was kept from the source material. But that's just a theory of mine since I didn't read them.
