Another excellent episode. After chewing on it for a while a number of thoughts arise:

First, somebody need to go grab the real Ecklie and put the thumbscrews on him, since there's a decent chance he was complicit in his impersonation, especially given its depth.

Second, I'll bet the diary was planted Faux-Ecklie was far too sharp to make an amateur mistake like keeping a plaintext diary. And why encode only part of it, especially when you have access to a code that will take Cortana some time to crack? The plaintext was to show that it had value and the encrypted text was there to slow down the reaction when it was found.

Third, Big Fire expended a lot of resources for not much apparent result. Yeah, they caused a lot of mayhem, but they can do that without giving away their mook dens or Agent A's identity. It seems likely to me that the chaos was a distraction that allowed them to grab something or set something up. What, I have no idea. We'll just have to wait and see.

Of course, this is all just rampant speculation. It is entirely likely that these assertions have no basis in (fictional) reality.
