2. That was a twist. We had hints as far back as Lunacy that there was something Different about the "Demon of Sloth," because it possessed green-haired women and made them look like Eve. This would be an actual retcon.

3. She would have had to know that Mikina would even use it beyond its passive ability, and it being there in her house to do that. 1) I know Mothy is a guy. I wrote "her" for accident.

2) Retcon or not. Marlon's Spoon using the power of Irina can still make sense (especially since the people who said that Mikina use that power because she is a contractor are not very reliable):

3) This is magic. Maybe Irina coul feel or notice an opportunity in the distance.

I'm not saying that this scene in the novel is definitive proof about somenthing (it could be a redherring). However, the scene seems to be made to notice that Irina and Clockworker Doll share that power.
