Defeating the Countess
After returning to Lauren's apartment from your meeting with Joseph Mitchell at the New Yorker, you'll once again have to have Joey go talk to Lauren on the Balcony. Their conversation will end with a knock at Lauren's door. Have Lauren answer the door to let the Countess in.
Once the Countess is inside you'll need to exhaust all of the dialogue options until she offers you help. At this point in the dialogue you can offer to help her, or to accept or reject her help. The outcome is always the same thing.
There is only one thing you can do once the Countess is choking you: burn her with a lit cigarette. That is the only defence Lauren has left. Simply click on the lit cigarette in her inventory and then click on the Countess.
As soon as you burn the Countess, Lauren will collapse and you will have control of Joey. What you need to do is follow a very simple pattern. Have Joey talk to her, then move Joey towards the Balcony once. Only move him once, then talk to the Countess again. Keep alternating between moving and talking and don't stop the pattern until Lauren wakes up and control shifts back to her.
With control of Lauren all you have to do is walk over to the countess with Lauren and click on the Countess. Lauren will do the rest. Congratulations, you have solved both cases and defeated the Countess.
