So what in the name of Joss Whedon (♥) was the bear thinking? Was it random? Did they, as someone's pointed out recently, think that Hakon had perhaps picked them out? Did they fancy him for the seer? Was it just to mess with our heads?

I'm not sure if someone has answered your query already, but...

Theories:

1) I doubt (sorry, Hakon) that Hakon sniffed out the bear as early as he said he had a new suspect in mind. It was Day 1, very early, and - though I didn't want to rely on his newbie status to discount him from being crafty - I think, since we know he was an ordo, it was the case this time. This makes those that accused him of being the bear without much reason seem suspicious.

2) Killing Hakon might have been a simply trail-less kill for Day 1. In which case, we're left with pretty much nothing until Day 3.

3) S/he might have simply been annoyed with Hakon and wanted him out of the game so as not to cause the bear any more headaches. I would say that points the finger at those who were arguing with him, but I'm thinking the bear would be more sneaky - and that Boro would choose a more sneaky bear for his and wilwa's game.

4) The way Hakon was acting, by drawing so much attention - in addition to my comment as him seeming cobblerish (apologies, there) - might have made the bear think he was the cobbler. So then his strategy might be: kill off the helper, save the wolves for later, maybe?
