    It would be an incredible oversight on the writer’s part to have Claudia be the one to release Aaravos. It’s fair to say, especially after the teaser, that Claudia has crossed a line she cannot come back from with the loss of her father (Shown visually by the fact that the white of her hair has finally bled over into the remaining black) and such a defining act would be wasted on her.

    I suspect that a good portion of S6 will consist of Aaravos playing with Callum, until in the finale he releases Aaravos accidentally, or through trickery. (I still hood out hope for a full morally grey Callum arc and not the one or two scenes we got in S5, preferably with Callum trying to find a middle ground that involves Aaravos paying for his crimes outside of his prison)

      But she still could snap out of it by reflecting upon all she has done by letting her abandonment issues and dark magic get the best of her. Princess Azula is on the way for redemption soon, so why not her?
      We all miss the old Claudia.
      Plus, dark magic may be officially undone or ousted by the end once Aaarvos, and probably Callum along with him, is destroyed.

        True, but I think full redemption is out of the cards for Claudia now. She’s the reason Aaravos is still as big of a threat as she is, so even if she does switch sides at the final hour, it would an injustice for her to receive any other sentence than imprisonment for life.

        Additionally, her character reminds me a lot of Morgan’s from the BBC series. She started out with hood intentions and a handful of issues, but with the death of a family member (In the show it was her sister) she spiraled into madness until Merlin (Which funny enough, the interpretation from that show shared a lot with Callum) finally killed her in the final episode.

        Relaxing the extent to which you screwed up isn’t redemption. Taking action to fix your mistakes is. Something I don’t see Claudia doing soon enough to stop the catastrophe she helped set in motion.
