Look at the way Gard eyes Dresden in Dead Beat, just before the ghoul almost kills him. Then look at the way Gard eyes Michael in Small Favor, when they're evacuating in the helicopter.
It's pretty clear that she was preparing to fulfill her "chooser of the slain" role and make each of them an afterlife job offer.
--- Quote ---As far as I understand from reading well constructed arguments on the forum, Odin and the Einherjaren used to hold Mab's responsibility of guarding the outer gates against the outsiders until the Fae took over. No need to fight Ragnarok anymore when the Winter Court is doing it.

I think most of that is probably right, but I'd imagine the Einherjaren would be called into service again if there were ever a breach at the Outer Gates. Just because they're not actively manning the walls doesn't mean they don't have an interest.
And it's hard to imagine Odin isn't scheming *something* to do with his doomsday army, besides hiring them out to gangsters.

I wouldn't go that far. It is a distinct possibility, but I wouldn't say she's about to get either of them. Nicodemus says something about how all Knights of the Cross go to Heaven, and that's his biggest disappointment in killing a Knight. That's a point in favor of Murphy going to a Catholic afterlife when she dies.
I would say that Gard has the ability to see that someone is about to die. I'd even say she could take them if they believed in the Norse pantheon. (Those guys are still around. I've met at least one).

I think she would have made Michael an offer, though he would have declined.

I am sure she will still have times that she does bad assery and kick some supernatural butt. now it will be her avoiding it but every once in a while being forced into kicking butt in defense of loved ones.

I think that would be a very sad ending for her, better she go out in a blaze of glory.
