It’s weird because they spent a season playing with Ruby’s mom, Susan, Sutekh trying to tell us that important character identity twists are bad, and now here’s a new important character that’ll have a big identity twist? Really?
In hindsight, not “bad” I suppose, but when they had the big Ruby reveal, they were definitely making fun of everyone who was freaking out just like Sutekh in interviews and everything.

I don’t know if the message was that identity twists are “bad,” so much as a bit of a deconstruction of what “importance” is.
And in all fairness, the Mrs. Flood mystery was very present even at that time.
