Murphy
Conspiracy Theorist:
Thank you for the Pony, if it makes it into the series Harry will have a ton of my little pony wisecracks at Murphy’s expense.
I think if Murphy goes Valkyrie or Einenjaher her contract would go to the CPD and she gets an much expanded SI back as Captain. Her career killed two marriages, I doubt she would want another serious relationship to fall and would want a less serious relationahip with Harry i am not sure Harry would want. I note no Harry, Murphy, Maggie scenes so back to friendship for Harry. STILL a better love life than Carlos.
I think the City authorities have finally met a supernatural challenge they can’t ignore, and Harry knows this, it is why he took the Placard. A placard is a communications device which would useful during the Battle if Harry can use it to communicate to the people to stay indoors behind their thresholds and arm themselves about home invasion. He could also use it to communicate to the CPD officers a rallying point for Murphy. Afterwards he can use it to communicate the all clear and explain what has just happened. If something like that does happen, the City authorities are going to fall over themselves re-hiring Murphy as a Captain and let her build SI as she wants, Swartalf weapons, Harry back as a consultant and other Paranetters as consultants, as much mortal manpower and firepower as she needs etc.
Murphy would get everything she ever wanted. Harry wouldn’t
Conspiracy Theorist:
I just thought, this may be foreshadowed by the other Captain Murphy, Captain Collin ‘Jack’ Murphy still doing the job despite his demise, there would be no reason why the two couldn’t liaise to deal with manifesting mad ghosts, surely Harry and Mortie could work something out for posthumous witnesses and the like.

If she is killed, and we do see more of her from time to time, this is what I think will have happened to her. It fits more with her faith, and actually if she cannot be with Harry I think she'd be happy working with her father.

current boss Lara needed Harry or at the very least wanted to talk to Harry at that moment.
I know everyone thinks it, but I doubt that Murphy will become a Valkyrie for a number of reasons. First one she doesn't respect authority, not a good idea to argue with Vadderung... Yes, she has worked with him in the past, but as a mortal she was also free to walk away.. As a Valkyrie, not so much, not sure she'd like the idea of knowing in advance who was going to live and who was going to die, especially if she didn't agree with it. Yeah, I know Gard fudged with Harry back in Dead Beat, and perhaps Michael in Small Favor.. Yes, it does go against her religion.. Nor does it mean she can remain at Harry's side. So she may become it in the end, but it may not work out as everyone thinks it is going to be.
Harry in Ghost Story isn't the same, or even close. He was trying to find his own killer for starters. Second of all an archangel arranged for his walk about.. Also if you will remember there was very little he could do to help those who were very much alive.

I agree with you on the Valkyrie thing. Becoming one of the Einherjar would be worse. They are all fated to die; for good, with Odin when Ragnarök occurs. I don't remember if any of the Valkyries survive, just that Thor's son and a few others do.
I'm not seeing Murphy working for Uriel; with or without her dad, as some kind of ghost detective. It just doesn't feel right to me.

Ghost detective, no, but apparently her father does do important work for Uriel and he sort of offered that kind of job to Harry if he had gone all dead.
