Recap of Season 5, Episode 1
The episode opens dramatically, depicting two hunters in pursuit of a dog through a sinister forest in Germany. Despite warnings from locals about a curse, their curiosity leads them to confront a bizarre werewolf-like creature, ultimately falling victim to a deadly fate.
Simultaneously, Ciel Phantomhive receives an urgent letter from the Queen, charging him with investigating a string of mysterious deaths in a secluded German village. The Queen’s distress stems from the government’s refusal to share information—a situation made more urgent given her familial ties to the area.
Enlisting the help of his aide Claus, Ciel discovers that all deceased individuals have one connection: they ventured into the feared Werewolf’s forest. Dismissing the local superstitions, Ciel is determined to face the unknown.
Ciel, accompanied by his loyal butler Sebastian and the Phantomhive household staff, arrives at the outskirts of Nuremberg, where locals express their unwillingness to enter the forbidden forest. Eventually, they procure a carriage and venture into the depths of the woods, where unexpected incidents become apparent.
In the forest, Ciel and his companions stumble upon a bewildering village, entirely populated by women. Tension rises as the village’s inhabitants initially perceive them as a threat to their liege lord, Sieglinde Sullivan, who makes her grand appearance accompanied by her butler, Wolfram Geizer.
Wolfram’s unfriendly demeanor sets a tone of ambivalence, but Sieglinde soon softens the atmosphere with her diplomatic demeanor. The episode concludes with Ciel’s party being invited to spend the night at the Emerald Castle, leaving viewers eager for the unfolding mystery.
What Awaits in Episode 2?
Episode 2 is poised to cover content from chapters 86-88 of Yana Toboso’s critically acclaimed manga. Viewers can expect deeper exploration of the Emerald Castle dynamics and further insight into Sieglinde Sullivan’s role as the village’s liege lord. The anticipation builds as Ciel and his companions navigate the unfolding supernatural mysteries.
