At the moment, I think everything points to V.V. and Charles having a similar relationship to C.C. and Lelouch, being that both pairs are bound by at the very least the contracts made with each other. V.V. and Charles are also twins, meaning that they have an even closer bond. While you very well could be right that V.V. is acting solo, I think that both Charles and V.V. are working towards the same goal, but at different angles. V.V. is pressuring and manipulating from one side, Charles from the other.
I think it's also a good point about V.V. just taking Lelouch being back as Zero in stride. And almost even boarded with it all. I wouldn't be surprised if Charles and V.V. had counted on it. Especially since I can't really blame Suzaku for not being sure what is going on. There's an entire Britannian Intelligence Unit set-up with the sole purpose of WATCHING Lelouch, run by a woman who shot her lover in the back during the last rebellion to turn him and the others in. It's hard to question that type of loyalty, and on top of that, everyone at school is saying they talked and saw Lelouch when Zero was obviously running around Japan. All of the evidence is pointing to the Lelouch is not Zero, so I do have to give Suzaku credit for not giving up on his gut instinct and not believing any of it.
Oooo, I hadn't thought of Marianne being involved with the Geass Cult herself, separate of Charles. Now there's something to ponder on for a while. XD
