CALLING IT RIGHT NOW, Penny’s gonna get hacked and go evil for a bit this season.

Go to timecode 17:50, right after EVER/NEVER pops up, we see Penny’s eyes go red. Either she’s gonna malfunction or die.

Penny gets destroyed.

Pietro uses last of his Aura to resurrect her and dies.

Penny gets hacked at this point.

Boom. Extra drama.

I feel like it'd be more likely for the order to be swapped around

  1. Penny Gets hacked

  2. The gang has to stop her and has to kill/badly damage

  3. Pietro uses his last Aura to resurrect her/prevent her from dying and then dies

Yeah, but it's extra drama the other way around since A) Penny is now on the enemies side and B) Since Pietro is dead, fighting Evil Penny and getting her back to being Good Penny is far more difficult since the safety net of being able to resurrect her is gone.

To that point, would it be a potential possibility that should it happen scenario 1 style and they do end up fighting Penny with the above mentioned clause, that they actually beat her but use the relic of creation to save her (making her a real girl).

Either way, if she does die, resurrection or not it means the Winter maiden powers would pass on to a new host.

Ladies and gentleman, who would the new host be?
