All about Mrs Hawking!!

I luuuuuved this episode!!
First, I think it goes without saying that Mrs Hawking = Faraday's mom. One of the main indicators of this is that they both use the phrase "Then God help us all" in this episode. Also they had a similar style of writing on the chalkboard. I think it's a gimme.
She seems to be the guru of time; she's extremely educated about time anomolies, keeping the time continuum in tact, etc. Apparently she's able to calculate when time anomolies are going to occur, using a creepy pendulum to pinpoint it exactly.
It makes me wonder about when Desmond's conciousness time travelled and he ended up at the ring shop. How would Hawking's equations allow her to predict where and when Desmond is going to end up?! She was there waiting for him, and ready to correct his decision to keep him on the right path. It seems a bit farfetched that she is guiding him on the right path, and can track him through time jumps, but apparently she is able to do that.
The last scene was just sooo great. It was so creepy/spooky, and envoked images of demonic cults for me.
I think she is the author of Daniel's infamous journal, and passed it on to Daniel.
It also made me wonder... was SHE in charge of the Dharma initiative? Did she send her own team there to study time anomolies, and is now using the info from that research to course correct everyone?
Thoughts?!??!
