Marco retorts that he never mentioned being from Echo Creek, meaning that particular denial only makes sense if Crandle actually ''is'' Candle. Especially since Crandle doesn't even try to come up with an alternate reason that he would've connected Mr. Candle with Echo Creek, instead trying to brush past it like he knows he slipped up.
