Okay, I’m 99% convinced it’s Jolene. Especially after re-watching Jolene and noticing all of the similarities!

1. Waverly’s outfit in the garden changed to a similar outfit she wore in Jolene. (The feathered coat).
2. When the Earps were setting up a trap, Jolene’s voice called Waverly outside (exactly like “Nicole’s” voice called her in the garden basement.

3. Jolene threw a knife towards Waverly in the greenhouse, just like Mercedes threw one at Wynonna in 4x1. Parallels.
4. Jolene refers to Nicole has her “best friend” and in 4x1 Nicole mentions that Wynonna is her best friend. Parallels.

5. The horrid sound Jolene made when Waverly chucked the knife away, is similiar to the awful sound we heard in the s3 finale when the garden took Waverly.
6. The thorns took Jolene just like they took Waverly. And the thorns pinned Jolene to the tree, like Waverly was pinned!

7. Just before Jolene was taken away by the thorns, she was trapped in a devils trap, created by Michelle Gibson. In the trailer for the next episide, “Nicole” mentions being in a CAGE.
Credit to @TheSaxyOne for the next observation; it would make sense that Waverly chose her own book, therefore she has to face her most difficult challenge yet again; her own demon/temptation = Jolene.
A few more notes;
In Jolene, Wynonna punches Nicole in the face during the bar fight.
In 4x1 Nicole punches Wynonna in the face. Parallels.

Jolene to Nicole:
“I see you. You spend your life rescuing others. What about you?”
4x1: Nicole rescues Wynonna from the grate fate, by sacrificing herself.

Another little minor nod... Kate attempted to read Jolene’s tarot cards, until Jolene stopped her.
In 4x1 Kate read tarot cards for Nicole.
