Ardent has been with Alice every time he's been seen by most of the townsfolk. Alice might want to reassure Miss W that she hasn't offended her by rejecting him. I also think she wants Jack out of the way so she can slap Ardent down (likely only metaphorically).

Zebediah:
I think it was a way to make it absolutely clear to Ardent that what Miss Wheelwright did was OK. Because Ardent doesn't understand how out of line he was.

Neko_Ali:
Given that we know from Ardent that there is technology to modify human bodies as desired and that Alice is 'not from around here' apparently I suspect that when she fell and was unhurt... it was exactly that. She's a lot tougher than other people. Maybe she's a modified human, android or cyborg. I'm really wondering what the purpose of this community is, or possibly planet. Since nobody has commented about being unable to leave the area yet. And a con man would find it extremely difficult to work within a closed community once people realize he is a con man... And I still wonder what Alice's function here is... She doesn't have the power it seems to just remove Ardent, so it seems unlikely she's a guardian or caretaker. But she is aware of a greater universe out there and the fact that this area/planet is supposed to be 'closed off' to it. It makes me wonder if she somehow didn't get stranded down there at some point and is just trying to stay low key but still help out the locals. So many questions.

Method of Madness:
I don't think Ardent is a con man. I'm pretty sure he's exactly who he says he is.

Neko_Ali:
I was referring to the scene earlier where someone thanked Alice for convincing a con man to give back his dad's savings. If this was some Village inspired tiny group everybody would know everyone else... You could pull a con like that once at best, and then you would probably have no where to spend it as the rest of the town turned on you. So there has to be more places out there. I agree, Ardent is no con man. He's not even the worst kind. He's just a clueless tourist.
