"Also, I think I saw her fly up there."

"Oh. So she's not stuck up there."

- They could have parked a lot closer to the pancake place

Tedd originally went over how someone planning to ambush them would expect them at the parking lot by the pancake place.

As soon as you allow for Mist and Po to somehow knowing Tedd and Grace were going out (or had gone out), however, you also have to allow for the possibility of them knowing where Tedd and Grace parked. There's no rationale to reject the second as impossible if you treat the first as possible.

So Tedd leaves it at "I don't know how they'd know we were there" (downtown or at the parking lot), and focuses on the more compelling evidence, which was:

- Mist not communicating as Mist until Tedd was alone

Nothing about what Mist and Po did was consistent with them expecting to run into Tedd and Grace. Disguised Mist's "mm-HM?!" upon seeing the two could be interpreted as the following:

1 - Mist turning to look at who was approaching, casual as you like ("mm").

2 - Mist completely failing to maintain a poker face upon seeing them (HM?!").

Is that actually what happened? It doesn't have to be, but Tedd seems to think so.
