--- Quote from: vultur on September 18, 2020, 05:12:42 PM ---I strongly disagree; I think the conversation between Harry and Murphy about talking to him before it's too late after Harry fights Eb could very well be foreshadowing for this. And Harry seems very torn up to find out how bad of shape Eb's in mentally.
I really don't think Murphy is going to die in BG, I think the series needs her.

As I said before in the thread who's going to die in BG, Harry's going through a changing of the guard with his teammates. We may think the series needs her, but her time as we knew her is over. She's vanilla mortal and stubborn as hell and hurt, not a good combo for survival against supernatural foes.

I still think the biggest mistake Jim made was first demoting her then kicking her off the police force. I think he has been struggling to find the right fit for her ever since.

It might be, but another way of looking at it might be one of setting up the psyche to see how far one can fall before doing something dangerous and completely out of range and abilities. She has fallen to a point so low from where she was in the beginning and Harry just pushed her down even further by telling her to stay put. Yes it's to defend the people of Chicago while Harry goes to defend the city of Chicago, but it's not where she thinks she should be.
Jim has either set her up to find her new click and return in the future with new friends to help in the BAT, or he is setting her up to go in a blaze of glory and gore. Which would be perfect for MM, a story about how much his decisions changed the world, for good and bad.
And no, no power ups for Murphy. Last I heard, Jim said no power ups for her unless it's a bigger gun. So no return as an avenging angel or a new hire for Monoc security. It would cheapen her character.

That foreshadowing is inescapable. She will get a nuclear bomb.
