Deciding to remove the twins, Steerpike convinces them to move into a distant and abandoned region of the castle by confabulating an epidemic of "Weasel Plague", which they must be quarantined from. He then explains their disappearance to the inhabitants of the castle with a suicide note (including a confession to arson) and wax models of the Twins (helped by the fact that the half-paralyzed twins were hardly more animated than wax-works in real life).

Chako then meets his father and accuses him of confabulating a friendship. Angered by the accusations and hurt by Chako's loss of the painting, Jeetu kicks him out of the house. The M.F. Hassan painting, however, was an original all along, and Gandhi - whom Hassan hated and never lent his work to - had cheated Chako and Tino out of the painting. Gandhi then publicly humiliates Jeetu by telling the press he never had a friendship with Hassan, and that the stories of him making his paintings at the tea stall are all false.

It is postulated that by the "release phenomenon" MES is caused by hypersensitivity in the auditory cortex caused by sensory deprivation, secondary to their hearing loss. This "hole" in the hearing range is "plugged" by the brain confabulating a piece of information – in this case a piece of music. A similar occurrence is seen with strokes of the visual cortex where a visual field defect occurs and the brain confabulates a piece of visual data to fill the spot. This is described by sufferers as an image in the visual field.

On 1 July 2013, Nightingale's retrial began at the Bulford military court. With legal costs potentially exceeding £100,000 a fundraising campaign was launched by campaign group Big Brother Watch. At trial, Nightingale said that his previous defence had been false and instead claimed the pistol and ammunition "must have belonged to his colleague and housemate," who was also an SAS soldier. Explaining why he had previously given a false version of events, William Clegg QC, for the defence, said that Nightingale had no memory of receiving the pistol and did not now believe it was his, and that his documented brain injury may have led to him "'confabulating', or piecing together plausible stories from what he hears or sees around him" to explain how it came to be in his bedroom.
