Babbie, Mother, and Seawrack have all been proposed, and I think a Neighbor is another possibility (the weird hints with Remora, etc.) MAYBE it was just Mucor (or have we been told she can only possess humans?) but something fishy is definitely going on in this bit. Pun intended. "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
