The Acolyte: Everything May Be Happening According To Mother Aniseya's Plan

With just a single episode of Season 1 of Star Wars: The Acolyte remaining, it feels as though this series has been prompting lots of questions without ever really answering any of them in full. The show is full of mysteries, and it's offered only partial answers to go with them. We know a lot about what is going on but very little about why. And without the why, we don't really know anything, even after our second flashback of the season in this week's episode.
Warning: This article discusses many spoilers for Star Wars: The Acolyte through Episode 7, "Choice."
The cause of this knowledge gap comes courtesy of The Acolyte's strange plot structure. Of the seven episodes that have dropped so far, five of them were focused entirely on the present narrative, and two (Episodes 3 and 7) of them were focused entirely on one flashback but from different perspectives. It's mysteriously convoluted, with both flashbacks omitting the most important details--there are more secrets to be revealed about the coven of witches that Mae and Osha came from. And, I suspect, about Mother Aniseya specifically.
