Doesn't Harry have the real Shroud right now, squirreled away somewhere? Wasn't healing one of its supposed powers, back when we first met Nic?
Now I'm wondering if wrapping Murphy up in it is the funeral Butcher mentioned writing.
No, I believe he turned that over to the Church.
I'll agree with the vanilla human part, but I don't think being Summer Knight would necessarily be a religious issue. From CD, the task is essentially to protect mortals from Winter - it seems that the SK bit about being the Court's assassin is kind of a cover story. And being the Knight doesn't require worshiping the Queen as a deity - Harry certainly doesn't worship Mab.
My point though is Murphy wouldn't subject herself to the rules surrounding being a Holy Knight and using a Holy Sword. She has her own ideas, and I doubt she could conform well to being a Summer Knight.
Also at the end of Skin Game, didn't original doctor giver he a better prognosis? I think Harry told Micheal that the doctor said she could get back to 90%.
Yes, but treatments don't always go as planned, complications can always happen. When they actually went into repair the damage, they found more than they thought there was. Or as I said, Murphy has been very active over the years, her body has taken a lot of punishment from fights, there might be scar tissue build up. Her hand to hand combat skills may have taken it's toll on the cartilage in her joints. I'm surprised she isn't going in for joint replacement. She may have had a post op infection which caused more damage.
Murphy may end up continuing to live with her injuries. It happened to Micheal. It would cause more emotional pain for Harry since he would end up seeing her suffer through recovery and set backs just a like anyone else. People do end up regaining more function than doctors estimated from time to time. If you think about it, as a doctor, its probably better to low ball the recovery estimate, to keep the patient from having false hope.
Murphy isn't Michael though, I cannot see her accepting being sidelined from the action. The trailer shows she won't.
hey broke into a bank, had a multi hour shoot out where thousands of rounds were fired, murdered a guard by slicing him to pieces, and nothing from the vault was taken? Really? And the only people to be found are Harry and Murphy. So everybody else just walked through the police lines and vanished like a fart in the wind? And Murphy and Harry are so stupid that they leave DNA and fingerprints all over the scene? And Murphy a smart veteran cop? Color me dubious.
Me too, as I said, they may be police, but they are not there on behalf of the police. I think as soon as they recover from their moment of passion Harry and Murphy will realize that as well.
