I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a Coven member faking getting controlled to cover for rory.
Could see the argument of using CL scare for an Exe move, but seems a bit odd. I'm not sure what the second part has to do with an Exe play though. Faking LO is tough to do, but a true exe target doesn't have to worry about that, so bringing that up sounds more like justifying not fake claiming LO than anything. It's not really something an Exe target would have to consider.
