The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Murphy Family Reunion
LaraBeck:
I don't think the place where Carmichel and her dad are is a place where they are "happy", they keep busy and work, but if I don't remember it wrong, it is a place for people who are not ready to move to what's next. Sounds to me like they are unresolved, people who had been unable to "let go" of what happens to the mortal world, which it's not a bad place to be, since they believe they have purpose still, but it doesn't exactly mean "happy", imo.

"Murphy, you're back. I just recovered from your death. I love you. Don't leave me again."
"Harry, I have to leave. The world is right again and that means I cant stay. I'm sorry for making you hurt again."

Well, character needs time to grow on his own for a while, I agree on that. But I don't think we have to worry about that storyline, if she comes back, she won't be leaving again. I think we're headed for a scenario where Dresden gets to experience what she did when he was gone, and returned.
Anyway, either way, I fully support Murph and Hendricks buddy cop side story... Hell, I support a Murph-afterlife side story in whichever form.

If she comes back and if she stays, I feel like it would be a fan service. Gards comment about that she can't come back until no living memory of her remains. Now, that doesn't say she can't stay if someone suddenly remembers her, but it feels to me that if someone does, she can't be around. And as of right now, the only way she can come back early is if the rules were thrown out the window. And Harry knows that rules are there for a reason. He will bend them and exploit them, but at the end of the day he will uphold them.

Harry will never forget her and he will be around to the final reel.. So perhaps this is Jim's way of letting him fans know gently that she isn't coming back, but also leaving them some hope that she might.

I'd be disappointed if she never appears again in Dresden Files.
I do think her becoming Einherjaar was the natural development of her character. She is a firm Catholic, Uriel and Vadderung are friends, but I also feel like its a missed opportunity for one of Uriels crucial conversations that are good for the soul, for her and her Dad not to see each other again after her death.
In many ways they would be in the same circumstances died but not quite moving on to what's next while performing a duty.
Seems to fit to me.

Murphy and Hendricks could be a funny short story for some anthology.. mismatched teams or the like.
We are pretty much told she was RAISED Catholic, not much sign of any faith afterwards that I can recall. No signs of being observant.
Do we really know she did not get to talk to her Dad? Maybe Uriel offered her the job with Vadderung and she took it? Mr. Sunshine is big on free choice. Maybe she thinks she can be more effective against the bad guys in that role. Do we have anything beyond Gard's word that she IS Einherjaren? Not saying she'd lie, but Gard could be mistaken.
Arjan:
There is the knot. She is in Vadderung inventory system. And Gard has intellectual about what happened to her.
Mab called her honoured dead, that might mean something as well.
