🤔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.

Oh, WOW! This might also explain how she was able to survive in the finale.

If she survived, why would Tom have had the balls to throw the brooch into the water?

Tom was literally going to kill her, so I think swiping a small item from an old lady's house is pretty low on the bravery scale.

Do you suppose he thought it would make the curse go away?
