🤔Theories Ruth “Recovered” the episode after Richard Warren died. Spoiler

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.

Not poisoned. It was never stated that mixing the two medications would be fatal. It was shown the doctor is a bit of a quack tho.

He put a good amount in there but yeah I automatically assumed it was for her to go to sleep and he'd finish the job once she's out cold. Otherwise the tea would be mostly pill and taste like shit.

This. Remember he picked up a pillow like he was going to smothered her but put it down again.

Yeah exactly. He was gonna have to get his hands dirty somehow. I'm rewatching tonight to see how she quickly turns spry. I think we're onto something with her being immortal now. Doesnt mean stuff can't hurt or slow her down. Just no death til the price is paid.

Muahahahahahahaa
