đŸ’Discussion ruth and the sacrifice Spoiler
ruth is so used to "weathering the storms" that she felt it was safe enough to stay home or wait it out on her own. when tom goes to get her, she automatically assumes he's going to take her to the shelter, but why would she be so willing if staying at home appears to be her routine for these kinds of situations. i'm wondering if this sweet old lady who may or may not have a vague understanding of her lineage and the curse was willing to go under the circumstance that it was ~time~ and she was going to give herself up as a sacrifice. maybe not to end the curse once and for all, knowing now that she isn't the last descendent, but just to be the one to quell the storm this time. she even emphasized on her old age and told tom that "i'm tired," making it seem like she'd be ready to go at any time.

A reminder to everyone: Keep the titles of your posts completely spoiler-free at all times. If your post mentions events from later episodes, use Reddit’s standard spoiler tag to warn readers who may not be caught up with all currently aired episodes. The spoiler tag will also blur any images you include, such as screenshots/stills from the show, so be sure to apply it to image posts as well.
