In the previous episode of Black Butler, called “His Butler, Crossing Paths,” we saw a flashback showing how Sieglinde first met Ciel and his group. Back then, she was very lonely, but her meeting with them gave her a sense of hope. While Sebastian destroyed the village, Ciel stepped in to rescue Sieglinde. Baldroy and Snake were given the job of protecting her, but Wolfram and his men came chasing after them.
Snake used his snakes to slow the enemies down. Baldroy tried to fight Wolfram, but he was eventually defeated. Ciel then came up with a clever trick—he dressed up as Sieglinde to distract Wolfram and pointed a gun at him. At the same time, Finnian took the real Sieglinde and carried her away to safety. Just when it looked like Wolfram would shoot Ciel, Diedrich appeared and saved him, stepping in to confront Wolfram directly.
In the next episode, called “His Butler, Mopping Up,” Diedrich will likely battle Wolfram. There’s a chance that Snake and Baldroy might return to the fight too. Meanwhile, Sebastian, after burning down the village, may go looking for the strange sound he heard near the Emerald Witch’s palace. Finnian will continue trying to protect Sieglinde, but it’s clear they are still not out of danger.
There’s also a mystery building up around a message left by Vincent Phantomhive, Ciel’s father. He spoke of helping “the two,” which hints that there may be another important person besides Ciel involved. The next episode may start to reveal more about this hidden secret and how it connects to the Phantomhive family.
