Over on the AM Forums. We have a bit of an explanation for Chapter 3 and Radcliffe's office now:

"The simple answer - and the deepest explanation for this stuff that I'm willing to provide at this time - is that time isn't passing in a linear fashion for Alice. She's jumping around time and events over a series of months which lead up to the final confrontation with Bumby, the only event which happens in anything close to "real time"."

My take on this is something I considered early on -- both versions of Radcliffe's office are valid, there's just a timeskip between Alice's confrontation and Alice waking up in the abandoned office. However, I just had a thought about how to tie this to ANOTHER event -- Jack Splatter being caught by the cops. Radcliffe says in the Paper Theater cutscene that Alice suffered a psychotic episode in his office after he suggested she might have more to do with the fire. What if he called the police, they came in, calmed her down, and walked her back to the cells -- where they'd just picked up Jack Splatter after the fire? That ties that flashback of the cop's in Chapter 4 (when Alice has been locked up for raving at Caterpillar) into the timeline! :D

I think it makes sense, anyway. Hooray for some semblance of logic!
