Apparently all the secrets of Grange Manor can be found in this week's Mind Map. Who's with me trying to figure it all out before the reveal next week? I'm determined not to be beaten by Cat (or Will)!

Ooh a challenge! It seems the gauntlet has been thrown down! Okay, here are some initial ideas (which may/may not make any sense but I'll try and explain) 1) The picture of the three cameras at the top of the page. This makes me think that the so called filming in Grnage Mannor might be subject to a bit of camera trickery. Page nine, showed Cat reading a book about studio shooting 2) Cat has mapped out the dimensions of the mannor, you can see her jottings in the background. The caption about Farley choosing all the furniture himself makes me think that the mannor has been set up delibrately- too delibrately, again linking into the first idea about trickery (unless Urbanite is just really into feung-shui  ) That's all I've got so far (I'm still trawling through it) |

They do make sense!
I thought the shots of those cameras looked familiar. I was wondering whether the Manor was just a stunt; fitting in with Farley and Brandon supposedly but not actually being Urbanite and Misper. But I've had a tweet from Will and he says that you're on the right lines (and Cat meets Urby next week), so do we reckon that Grange Manor is bigger on the outside (or bigger on the inside) or that it's simply camera trickery going on? The dimensions lead me to think that's got something to do with it, though I also had a tweet off Will yesterday to say it's actually a lot more simple than Sarah's floor plans make out...

Maybe Grange Manor is actually the TARDIS! The idea of it being a stunt is interesting. After all why would two super-hero's show the media the inside of their base. Assuming the media reporters were mainstream then the images would be published on a mass scale which means that their enemies would be able to find out pretty easily about their base. Cat after all managed to draw up some floor plans. Also, they let people enter their house at their annual ball. It seems they're deliberately trying to draw attention to the manor in a very public way (and thus detract attention away from something else?) So, I do agree that it could be a stunt (another kind of pseudo-identity) I had some more ideas and these kind of link into the 1st mind map as well: 1) The newspaper article that was on the mind map and also covering the damp patch/leak in the bathroom when Cat first visited Dahlia's house. It stated twins had been found dead in the 1980s. I'm thinking the might be relevant, after all the article said it was an anonymous tip-off from the police. Maybe the twins aren't dead. maybe it was staged. Someone trying to fake their own death? (Urbanite being haunted?) I did come up with more stuff and I wrote it down but now can't actually read my own handwriting! (I'll try and decode it and add more later) |

Maybe Grange Manor is actually the TARDIS! No word of a lie, I thought exactly the same thing! Cat was thinking about space and interiors while she was looking at the manor (as Will pointed out) so I think the idea of there being some sort of hidden space, or a mismatch between what we see and what's actually there is on the right tracks... Also, they let people enter their house at their annual ball. It seems they're deliberately trying to draw attention to the manor in a very public way (and thus detract attention away from something else?) So, I do agree that it could be a stunt (another kind of pseudo-identity) Bruce Wayne does that as well, though the Bat Cave is below Wayne Manor, so I wonder if we're just missing the obvious and Urbanite is doing exactly the same as Bruce Wayne. Like you say, by drawing media attention to the manor in a very public way they're drawing attention away from somewhere else. It stated twins had been found dead in the 1980s. I'm thinking the might be relevant, after all the article said it was an anonymous tip-off from the police. Maybe the twins aren't dead. maybe it was staged. Someone trying to fake their own death? (Urbanite being haunted?)/quote] That's a really interesting idea! I think there must be more to come from that newspaper article. Did you manage to decipher any of your other notes? |

I agree. I don't think the secret base they've shown the media is actually their base at all (if they have one that is). But I was also thinking that Grange Mannor has to have a physical location (from the outside at least as Cat has it marked on her mindmap), so maybe on the inside it's just a load of stages or something (like a film studio with lots of different sets)
Eventually! I also noted that on Cat's 1st mindmap she has 4 arrows coming off Misper. One links to Cross and the other 3 are identity unknown. Could this suggest there has been more than 1 Misper (like there's been more than one Robin) and if so what happened to them? Did they maybe meet a sticky end and that's why Misper is described as hunted and Urbanite as haunted?
Also, the picture of urbanite on the second mindmap, where he's holding the weight. Could that actually be the 'real' Urbanite and not Farley Grange, after all his face is covered?

Correct
Correct
One arrow links to Brandon Stewart, surely? But Cat does mention to Enrique, as they leave the coffee shop, that there have been other Mispers; he denies it.
Correct

The fact that you haven't said 'correct' to any part of that question makes me wonder whether you're trying to lead us down the wrong path...
