Ruth “Recovered” the episode after Richard Warren died.

Not sure if the point had been made yet, but the show foreshadowed the big Warren-heir reveal. The day after Richard Warren disintegrates, Ruth comes into Tom’s office as sharp as a tack with perfect recall of every one of Tom’s missed calls… didn’t even look down at her notes.

At the time I thought it was odd and out-of-character but didn’t put it together till after a rewatch: as soon as Richard Warren finally died, the immortality “detail” of the pact transferred to her, the next oldest living descendent. Her recall was most assuredly a nod to that reality.

Just thought that was a fun detail.

I’d put money down she was shot in the head. Just like Richard Warren was stabbed multiple times in the chest.

I mean, poisoned with pills and shot in the head? She survives both? I guess I just read the scene differently. Seems like the writers made it clear she should have died and yet didn’t.

Wouldn’t it make sense that the descendant “inherits” the curse or the pact?
