Overview:
After escaping death, Sebastian and the others reunite, but they’re only afforded a brief moment of relief.
Our Take:
I understand that the werewolves ended up not being real, but now I’m even more confused by Ciel’s disbelief. The episode opens with two figures discussing some of the soldiers who died recently, and it’s not hard to figure out that they’re supernatural in some way. It turns out that they’re grim reapers, and Ciel can see them and knows what they are. This makes it even more baffling that he thought a witch and werewolves were a step too far in his realm of believability.
As Sullivan was being taken away by everyone in Ciel’s household, Wolfram caught up with them. It looked like he was going to follow through on his order to kill her. Instead, he shot a soldier behind the group that was about to kill her. But he was later shot himself, and what would Sullivan do without her butler? Lucky for her, Ciel saw this as not only a teachable moment but a moment to provide himself with leverage. By rescuing her butler and teaching her that she must rely on herself to help others, he got her to become indebted to him.
