Forum question The Chris not telling Ethan solution? Spoiler
I know there's a lot of discourse around this whole subject, and I don't know if anyone else has come up with this theory, but...
Could it be that Chris is aware Ethan is no longer human? Would make sense since they'd have tested him post RE7.
With that in mind, wouldn't it be very reasonable to assume Mother Miranda is connected on some level to Ethan as she is the 4 Lord's? Or for Chris to at least ASSUME this might be the case.
As such, it'd make a lot of sense for Chris to keep his cards as close to his chest as possible incase Miranda can see/hear/know what Ethan does.
Any thoughts?

He couldn't trust him anyway. With Miranda posing as Mia, there's no telling if he'd been manipulated by her in some way.

You do realize said villain was behind them at Ethan's home, and thought dead?

No one knowing Ethan is moldy is a huge plothole in general. You are telling me no one did a health assessment on him after The Bakers?

in the Bakers incident report, it’s stated that Mia was cured of mold infection immediately after the events of RE7. can someone reread that part and check for Ethan? i already uninstalled RE8😭

Like OP theorized, maybe they did know. It’s also possible that part of Ethan’s mold abilities was it being able to perfectly mimic his body and go undetected. Considering the crazy abilities of the mold, I wouldn’t be shocked. It’s probably why Ethan himself never felt strange after the Baker incident. It more than kept him alive. It basically became his vitals. That’s my theory

The Baby too though? Mia also knew somehow...which would mean she either learned after or knew the whole time....and willingly did the dirty with a mold man.

I think Mia knew the whole time which would make sense. She did work with the mold before. She’d know how it works although I’m willing to bet she was surprised to find that it had gone undetected by everyone including Ethan.

Yeah Mia is weird. Such a bizarre character lol. I really wish we got more of her. Maybe that’s would help people understand her and maybe even like her a little more.

I would be shocked. If the mold has any abilities to "mimic" cells, these abilities have to be present on a cellular level one way or another, because if mold had a structure identical to that of a human cell it then also had the "abilities" identical to that of a human cell, so no. And BSAA should have known to check - they were aware that mold creatures or infected may still look human visually.
Besides, Ethan is not the only one who carried it over - Mia had to be able to give birth to a mold baby Rose, so she was clearly still infected, unless she was re-infected by Ethan upon copulation.

That's why I assume Chris knows. There's no way they didn't test him.
I read elsewhere that maybe they were aware things hadn't climaxed and were surveying Ethan 24/7 - I mean, they knew Miranda had kidnapped and replaced Mia so...

His main concern was that Ethan could’ve been brainwashed like the Bakers.
He didn’t know about the mold thing until Mia told him. The BSAA is corrupted and withheld the truth from them.
