Black Butler season 5 episode 4 recap
The episode begins with Sebastian Michaelis greeting Sieglinde with a morning tea. Sieglinde, who has never tried the kind of tea Sebastian has prepared, loves it. She even asks Wolfram to take notes on how a butler should behave. Moreover, Sebastian teaches Sieglinde table manners, English language, and even stitches a fine dress out of a bed cover.
Wolfram thinks Sebastian's methods are too strict. However, the demon butler reveals that a butler's duty should always be to ensure their master is not pampered and spoiled all the time. Elsewhere, Finnian attempts to feed Ciel some milk with honey. After he drinks it, Finnian asks him if he would go outside to catch some fresh air.
However, Ciel does not want to go as he is afraid. Finnian then assures him that he will protect him no matter what happens. Following that, the episode delves into a flashback to reveal Finnian's haunting past. According to the flashback, Finnian once belonged to an underground lab as a specimen. One day, during a raid, the doctors attempted to erase all the records and specimens related to their work.
They killed two boys beside Finnian and attempted to eliminate him next. Yet, suddenly, the boy's eyes glowed, and he vehemently killed the doctors. Attempting to run, he ascended to the ground level and met Ciel and Sebastian. Ciel asked Finnian for his name. Back to the present, Finnian notes how Ciel gave him a new identity and changed his life.
That is why he is ready to protect him anytime. Shortly after that, Sieglinde checks on Ciel and realizes that his eyes are quickly healing. After leaving the room, she asks Sebastian whether he and Ciel are demon worshippers. Sebastian then explains Ciel Phantomhive's backstory, including how he was kidnapped by an organization that wanted to use him in a demon sacrifice ritual.
Sebastian continued that he met Ciel during the summoning ritual. However, Sieglinde stops him mid-way as she feels that it must be a sad story for Sebastian too. She also promises to keep it a secret. Later, the Phantomhive servants are informed that Ciel is doing better. Baldroy thinks they must return to the manor as soon as Ciel moves. Sieglinde becomes slightly upset, but she nods in agreement.
Meanwhile, Sebastian finds that they are out of white wine during dinner preparation. On Wolfram's instruction, he descends to the wine cellar with Snake. Yet, instead of going to the right as per the butler's instruction, Sebastian chooses to go left. Interestingly, he reaches a dead end. The episode ends with Sebastian and Snake discovering a secret passageway behind the walls.
What to expect in Black Butler season 5 episode 5? (speculative)
Black Butler season 5 episode 5 will continue adapting the events from chapter 92 of Yana Toboso's manga. Given how the latest episode ended on a cliffhanger, the next episode will likely reveal whether or not Sebastian and Snake can unravel the secret of the Emerald Witch's manor.
In addition, the episode may show Ciel Phantomhive's progress, as he is slowly healing according to Sieglinde in the latest installment. It remains to be seen whether something unprecedented happens to Ciel in the next episode.
