Even if she thought sly was holding bently back she'd never do anything like that without some sort of criminal influance We already know the antagonist was Le Paradox. I can see that Penelope was more likely brainwashed than voluntarily recruited, but I am very certain it was Le Paradox and not one of the previous villains, who have already been taken out.

Remember, the game was done by Sanzaru while the previous games were done by Sucker Punch. We could say the game was more of a non-canon sequel.

As for the doodle, yes, Bentley did that to the photograph after the boss battle of the fourth episode. An IGN walkthrough of it was already released.

@Teenbat I doubt if Penelope chose to join Paradox. At the end of Sly 3, everyone already knows that Sly considered himself retired. It was after Penelope vanished when the gang reassembled, and Bentley was the one behind the reunion. If Paradox did not cause any twists in time and Penelope did not join him, none of those things would have occurred, leaving Bentley and Penelope already making money by themselves. Therefore it is more likely that Penelope was brainwashed at some point.

Yes, IGN has already beaten the game. Carmelita returns to her job while Murray starts a new career as either a wrestler or a boxer (I forgot which one it was but it was either one or the other). Bentley keeps looking for Sly because he vanished after defeating Paradox. people can do miraculous returns right?
