Christmas Eve and Peace Talks theory (spoilers)
Arjan:
One reason we did not see Karen in Christmas Eve is that she is not going to be a stepmother for Maggie. We have not seen her when Maggie was around since Changes.

That is possible, but as one of his best friends given what he has gone through and his loss, you'd think she'd be there. Just because she is there, it doesn't mean she is going to be the future stepmother to little Maggie.

From what Harry and Molly said, I read it as the battle itself + Harry's guilt at letting Chicago get so badly wrecked with so many deaths.
It's likely that someone we know & Harry cares about will be killed in BG, I just kind of lean against it being Murphy because of the "obviousness" thing. Eb is likely... but maybe also too obvious because of the mentor's death trope.
--- Quote ---All of that adds up to a death or deaths of significance to Harry. I can think of three people not present in the story that could bring him that kind of sorrow, Eb, Thomas, and Murphy.
--- End quote ---
Eh, I think there are other possibilities. Given Harry's tendency to guilt, the death of someone who looks up to him could also tear him apart due to blaming himself ... Possibly Will or Carlos. (Or Butters, but are we really going to go through Knights that fast?)
--- Quote ---She still would be dead, that may be an issue for both of them.

I don't think Valkyries are dead; I think they're more like Odin's "Knights", mortals given power and potentially a mantle.
--- Quote from: Conspiracy Theorist on July 08, 2020, 10:40:06 PM ---If Murphy goes Valkyrie her life will be as much as her own as Harry’s is as the Winter knight i.e. not at all.
--- End quote ---
Largely, sure, but if Harry being Winter Knight doesn't rule out a relationship, I don't know why Murphy being a Valkyrie would, since Mab and Odin seem to work together rather well.
And it might not be *as* limiting - Winter only has one Knight, Odin has multiple Valkyries. I think it would probably be less power but also less restrictions.

Murphy is no more obvious than Thomas or Eb. However I repeat, where was Murphy? Can see Thomas not being there, he would be with Justine and the new baby or baby to be if he survived. Eb wouldn't be there either for a number of reasons. But as the woman who loves Harry? Knowing how bad he is hurting? Murphy would be there if it was possible and there is no reason why she wouldn't be welcome in the Carpenter home, so where is she? As they say something is rotten in the state of Denmark..

You are right, I got them mixed up with the Einherjer .. However the Valkyrie do not start out as mortals given power or a mantle. At least in the classic sense, possibly making Murphy a Einherjer could happen of she is killed in battle, but I doubt a Valkyrie.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Murphy isn’t a typical mortal, she is a former Knight of the Cross, and the White God also looks out for their own, so Valkyrie is a distinct possibility, especially given the four hyper powerful White God artifacts in Harry’s Possession including the true Shroud (which Harry has not even raised with Murphy when discussing magical cures) associated with the Swords. Harry resurrecting Murphy and it turning out different to how he thought it would is just typical of Harry, Murphy alive but them being unable to be together in the biblical sense.
