I'd very much like that, since that's one kind of twist they haven't done before. Also, it would probably please those who think Kay's role was unnecessary and/or that she was too similar to previous assistents.

Nah she's too invested now. You can't have someone for two games be the bestest buddy and pull them out of the pit so many times only to have them turn around and reveal it was just one massive long con to gain Edgeworth's trust.

That's just too out of character, fans would call it cheap and unwarranted.

But then poor Edgeworth would be stuck back at 0 to 5 for female teenaged assistants! Now we can't have that now can we?

She doesn't. I'm just saying if she was the main villain of ace prosecutor in the last case rather than Quercus I'm sure the confrontation with her would have been shorter because we wouldn't have had to deal with the diplomatic immunity bull the case threw out.

It would not have to be a ploy at all - she could have accidentally murdered someone during one of her Great Thief missions and then tried to cover it up throughout the case - she would not have felt any different about Edgeworth or Gumshoe than she does canonically, but she still could have actively used her role in the investigation to hide the truth, leave false leads and evidence, in an attempt to prevent them from knowing what she's done - it could be quite an interesting concept.

I'm still hoping that GK3 will have this kind of twist in its final case - it would wrap up the Investigations trilogy really nicely and actually make Kay something more than just its mascot, really.

Actually, that's why I feel it has so much potential - she would feel terrible deceiving them, but would also be forced to keep up the act by her own fear - given this kind of pressure, it would be only right to see some hints in her behavior, but they would be preferably the kind of hints that one won't recognize immediately.

Problem lies in something else - how to make the last case with this kind of twist feel like a 'proper' ending. Usually, the final case usually features taking down a major villain, after all...

There's nothing wrong with sad endings, although that one does seem strange. I feel like this problem could be solved by having a second, 'hidden' murder in the same chapter - one that they didn't know about, until the all events of the first crime came to light - that would give us a proper villain, give some meaning behind Kay's sacrifice, since as long as the truth would remain hidden, the final villain of that case would walk free. Edgeworth wouldn't be merciless towards her, but thankful that she eventually told the truth, which would probably make Kay feel less broken - so that is one way to do it. One could only hope that the sentence for an accidental murder and attempting to hide it wouldn't be that long. Probably would take a few years, but maybe not twenty? Adrian's sentence was no longer than a few months and Sal was free two years later, after all.

Well, I can only imagine that Kay wouldn't want to pin the blame on anyone, but rather leave empty trails, meant to suggest that it was either no one's fault (for example, the victim committed suicide), or that the culprit cannot be found, as it could be anyone, so the extent of that betrayal wouldn't be as bad as it could have been.
