I too figured it was Eve, what with the fig leaf, snake and the fact that the dialogue simply SOUNDS like her. Then I wondered if that was too obvious, but couldn't come up with anything better. It also seemed to me that if it is Eve, we are being led to believe that she was talking with the SPs. This doesn't entirely work though, as her ties with the SPs were definitely severed. Also, the dialogue from the "SPs" just sounded too... colloquial. Who would Eve be working with? Lindsay. It's a thought. Sure, he's dead, but who isn't at this point?
Maybe the reason that Wes is key has something to do with Illyria? Spider suggested to Spike that they ought to use her power, and Spike refused to "use her like that." She's arguably the most powerful demon in Hell-A, and certainly there are parties interested in exploiting that. Illyria is vulnerable to Wes, and, though she'd kill before admitting it, she has an odd tendency to do what he says. Could he manipulate her? Probably. "He doesn't know yet" could refer to the fact that Illyria is alive. Anyway, Fred showing up might be throwing a wrench into the SPs/mystery villain's plans, or it could be what they intended. Intriguing!
