Didds has been pushing EFHW hard all game. Can you show me any previous games in which scum!Didds does that sort of a tunnel on a scum-buddy? Or are you not saying here that you think the most likely pairing is Didds-EFHW?

Didds has listed EFHW as her biggest scumread all game, but there has been no meaningful momentum towards that exile, despite quite a few people (including now dead townies) expressing either willingness to vote or suspicion of EFHW for most of the game. I need to go back and read to confirm the next bit, but I suspect the moments Didds mentioned the EFHW scumread were either moments where something else was hogging the thread's attention or they were done in such a way that didn't continue to apply pressure at any given moment (i.e. "my biggest scumread is EFHW, but since there's no interest in a wagon, I'll vote XYZ instead").
Didds has been consistently voting EFHW for more than half the game, I think. Looking at my current voting digest (which goes up to EoD3), she was voting for EFHW for the following game chunks:
#108-#307 -- Her first vote of the game, up until she moved to MiX, which was her EoD wagon.
#445-#632 -- Her first vote of D2, up to where she moved to gkrieg, which was her EoD wagon.
#857-#910 -- Her second vote of D3 (she briefly voted faust first), up till the D3 hammer.
I don't think this particularly supports the suggestion that she was only pretending to have a scum read while voting
XYZ instead for all that time.
That kind of read, while it clearly is taking a stand on the person, does little for actually moving town to vote for your scumread. For comparison, she and I have been pretty constantly putting pressure on each other today.
To me, the real pressure in a case comes from a vote, but the fact neither of you is currently voting is absolutely fine with me, given we can't afford a mixile just now, and scum can theoretically quickhammer if town missteps. However, I do think that Didds has been voting for EFHW consistently enough that she could have expected to get herself into hot water if a townie or two had chosen to follow scum!her onto EFHW, so that amount of voting she's done seems to be a bit of a risk. Side-thought: if EFHW is townie, regardless of Didd's alignment, would we expect more people to be willing to vote there? Other than MiX in D1 and gkrieg in D2, not many people have been willing to join that wagon.
Also, you quoted my request to you that you show me previous games where scum!Didds does that sort of a tunnel on a scum-buddy, but you didn't follow through with that evidence-gathering side of things. Didds herself volunteered that she was a bussing traitor in a game with EFHW, though! Can someone provide pointers?
