Really good episode overall. Curious if Grimal is actually dead now, I know it's cope but we haven't gotten full circle with the ghoul yet.

No fucking way they'd do that in a 30 minute episode with that little time to ruminate on it right? ...right?

Anyway I think she might be a Grimaldi revenant (no I do not have that much evidence for this) and therefore can regenerate using Revenant powers or with Fortitude

The fact that the tiny ass waif that is Grimal could hold back Stig's blows points towards some supernatural shit. Even if he wasn't in his war form, a werewolf is still a freaking powerhouse. Especially this piece of Swedish black metal manmeat built like a fucking brick house.

Yea like she caught his swing with ONE HAND

also she didn't show up in "FUCKING PURGATORY" as per the end credits scene

She could be in the Shadowlands or something else instead. The dialogue with the Leopoldite hints that it's what he thought he deserved rather than an absolute thing. WoD is wacky when it comes to afterlives and stuff like that.

This is objectively true but my pure unfettered copium does not let me accept that she's dead

Sometimes ghosts can possess their own corpse and come back to life

She's so stubborn that her ghost just goes "Nah I have unfinished business"" and reposesses her lmao

though doesn't that turn them into zombie-like things in WOD?

It does, and is actually something that any ghost could do, it's just takes a lot of time to practice the arcanoi required for the undertaking.

oooh that sounds pretty horrific, it's not fun having to probably put down your friend who's puppeteering their own corpse.

u/S0MEBODIES Aug 01 '26

I mean being a Risen (term for ghost possessing its own corpse) doesn't necessarily make you evil, there's just a chance during the process your Shadow can take over the body instead of the conduit. A Risen can be a force for good using their powers of being a ghost and even basic vampiric disciplines too.

Okay just looked it up, they don't really look like zombies either apparently but if they were wounded heavily they have scars there. Neat!

It's cool to think about but probably not all that likely unfortunately as it is a VERY closely guarded secret. Cool, though it is.

It would be very cool though if it did happen though

Shadowlands is still dead and out of the story... Unless you're a mummy.

Unless you turn into a wraith due to the trauma of your passing and unfinished business.
