Alright, so now we're back to assuming the motivations. Let's do that.
If he's town and he redirected, then he was suspicious of Pie and sought to redirect him. In terms of targets, he probably had no clue whether anyone else was town or mafia. His choices were:
1) to blindly select someone from the rest of the group, hope they were mafia, and target to them, or
2) to pick the known Hated townie, who was unlikely to be of much use the rest of the game and may become a policy elimination later
If he's mafia, then he believed that Pie was town, redirected him to Croc (the known townie) with the aim of showing up innocent. That's possible, and if that happened then clearly the fact that the redirect was reported to Pie gave away the game.
Fine. Both seem like plausible options to me. Why are you putting more stake in the latter? Honestly, if this was anyone else, I would probably on the same page as you, but given that this is WP, I don't see much reason to buy the latter framing over the former. The only way I buy that is if he both has a scum partner who both told him to do this and told him to reveal that he was the one doing the redirecting. The former move makes sense to me, but the latter doesn't.
