Damn, Maeve really did win
Snark Knight:

But yeah, the mental clarity should have rung bells. It's just hard to know if that was due to character growth, plot necessity, or specific cause.

I'd attributed it to Lara sponsoring appropriate mental health treatment. Which she may have been doing quite in addition to the Nemesis infection - she pretty well had to take steps to replace the stabilizing effects of Thomas' feeding in order to change a deeply ill hostage into a high-functioning executive assistant. She had no idea Beside was already steadying the wheel from the passenger seat, so to speak.
Mira:

That isn't all that clear, I think the mantle still could have gone into Murphy.

Possibly, but I think Justine would have been a better fit for it than her. A young, very pretty, blonde woman that habitually interacts with magical predators that radiate cold?
My initial interpretation was that Maeve was alluding to the mantle flying off the island to an unknown vessel that could be snatched up and vanished.

Not necessarily. Aurora never knew or understood what happened to her and Cat Sith tried to fight it as soon as he understood what was going on.
It can make deals but sometimes it just takes over and sometimes it influences the host without anyone being aware of it.

I think making deals is just it taking advantage of the inherent nature of certain beings, and the actual metaphysical aspects behind exchange that so governs the fae to behave towards it the way they do. It opens a vector beings like Nemesis can take advantage of.
