I don't think it matters either, FS. I suspect he probably was playing a game, but he will either tell the girls, or he won't - and in the event that he does tell them, I am sure whatever his motivations or timing, your response to it would be the same. I get that waiting for the axe to drop is a tense feeling, and it isn't fair he's mucking you about, but it seems you're prepared to have a compassionate conversation with your girls whenever they need it, and when they do they will let you know.
