Obviously Venture is alive.. but, I'm going to guess someone 'actually' dies at the end of this episode like 24, and will be done for good.

I might be getting repetitive (keep forgetting what site I'm saying what on), but I've been a bit worried for a while now that Hatred won't be arriving back to the Venture Compound after his reckoning.

Not to suggest that it'll be because of death, necessarily, but this season really made me think he wasn't going to be around in the same capacity for much longer. And a situation like this doesn't bode well for the guy who was only around to take the bodyguard job because he was trying to kill himself.

Oh man, I just realized while I was typing this, just how much can potentially go wrong:

Hatred's presumably going after the Monarch's home/headquarters, home of the potential newest member of the Guild of Calamitous Intent.
Who, by the way, are being targeted and followed by the OSI, who were intentionally set on the trail by the Investors.
And the Guild is apparently all being watched by the Revenge Society, who are now affiliated with Dr. Killinger. The OSI and Guild getting into a huge war would be in the Revenge Society's best interests.

Hatred is charging right into one huge-ass powder keg.

And you forget one thing : Hatred is technically O.S.I. This could launch the two organizations into a full-on war much sooner than Hunter had anticipated and throw any plan he might add completely out the window! He's charging into a powder-keg and could very well be the match!

I've been thinking about this as well for a few weeks, and have some guesses and odds for who could get it.

Sgt. Hatred
His character has gone pretty much all the way it can, he's been established as the status quo, and he's entering combat with Monarch. IMO he's the most likely to die. It fits in with Dean's statement about losing everyone who cares about him. (PLUS I really think 21 needs to be the next bodyguard. Doc and Jackson wrote "Cleansuit" last, which featured 21 as basically the bodyguard). Ol' Courtney is a safe bet to go.

Monarch/Dr. Mrs. the Monarch
I don't think either of these two will die, but it's somewhat possible. I do think something is gonna happen to shake up Monarch, moreso than usual. Ever since getting Dr. Girlfriend back and getting to arch Doc again, Monarch hasn't had too much in the way of development. I think now, with the building info about his and Doc's pasts, is the time.

21
I REALLY hope against this, as 21 is still stuck developing. It would hit hard, but it's unexpected, so it's possible.

I think pretty much everyone else is safe, except for maybe the Moppets. 21 could find out that they did kill 24 and go crazy.

Do you think O.S.I. might use 21 as a double-agent? In one of the few season five promo clips yet to air, he's seen walking back into the cocoon. Some have interpreted this to be a back-slide into the world of henching, but I have my doubts. I think 21 genuinely prefers being a good guy, even if he isn't as good at it as Brock and Shore Leave.

Anyway, just a bit of speculation.

I think it's more likely that Hatred asked Gary to help him in whatever operation he's putting up against the Monarch. After all, another clip yet to be seen involves Hatred paying a visit to Gary while the later is soul-searching in the woods.

Yeah I'd say for now it's more likely that Gary is infiltrating Monarch to help Hatred, judging by the sizzle reel. But after Season V, who knows. I do think Gary WANTS to, and a lot in OSI would be okay with that. But in Venture Bros, people rarely get what they want easily.
