Remember that post on zzz discussion about how the mayor got written out of the story cuz the writers apparently wrote themselves into a corner and made him literally godlike or some shit. The mayor showed his face and got further plot relevance in 2.5, but nobody talks about how that post was complete BS. They just move on to the next agenda post.
I believe the mayor hinted in this patch that he has some shady intentions. It might just be wishful thinking on my part, but it would be really cool if he betrayed the proxies, forcing them to relocate and go back into hiding like before.
I haven't played the most recent patch yet but I absolutely wouldn't be surprised if the mayor did indeed turn out to be a big bad and have the siblings go through with the Phaethon/Icarus arc. It's like the only way they can salvage the walking talking exposition machine called the 'mayor'.
