TheWoWDB...is threads of destiny supposed to play there? I don't see how the conclusion "That thing... is Neferess" follows from that video, did they mess up another cutscene situation?

You know that's something is wrong with the quest's in-game cinematic the moment you see the "Blizzard Entertainment Presents" line.
Like, this is extremely odd and immersion-breaking thing to show right in the middle of a story campaign.But not only that - it even ENDS WITH A WOW LOGO (I swear, I was half-expecting to see a freaking release date).
And then - completely out of the blue - an accompanying NPC somehow comes up with a plot twist that never even implied in the cinematic.
It's obvious that there should've been an entirely different scene. Fast forward to Oct, 3rd and it's still not fixed.
Agreed. It does not make sense how Y'tekhi arrives at this conclusion based on the information we are given.

Description
We've got a new objective: Figure out what Ansurek's plans are for this... thing. We'll find our answers inside the laboratory of the Grand Splicer. I'd bet my blades on it. I scouted a maintenance hatch on the roof that you can grapple up to. Y'tekhi brewed up some weird concoction that they claim will get us the proper clearance once inside. Yuck. Meet you in there.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lab Access
As much as I adore skulking in the shadows, the juiciest intel is going to be inside the laboratory of the Grand Splicer. Of course you'll need the proper pheromones once you're in, but we can take care of that with a little biological forgery.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Queen's Chains
Ansurek... that worm, that witless, gutless little-- <Y'tekhi growls under their breath, struggling to maintain their composure.> If this is what's become of Neferess, we must free her. She is still our queen. My mistress will know what to do.
