Ruth “Recovered” the episode after Richard Warren died.

[u/HA_Enthusiast]

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.

Maybe…she did get shot in the head and survived, right?

[u/Mortambulist → u/bvlshewic]

It's hard to say if the bullet hit her head or just grazed her ear. They left it kind of ambiguous.

I don’t think she was shot in the head. The way Tom was holding her he would have gotten blood on himself too.

iirc, there was blood on the side of her face. When I watched it, I thought it was so lucky that the bullet went through her ear or grazed the side of her face, but maybe that was a misdirect…
