Well, the body wasn't actually dead - just in a coma, or persistant vegitative state or something. In the hospital scene it looked like she wasn't even on a ventilator or anything.

And, if Anna (Hanna?) isn't a virgin anymore does that mean she'll stop hearing the angels?

I don't think so. the doctors were calling for a time of death when Ruby snuck in.

Did they establish that Anna is a virgin? Because I don't recall that happening.

eep ... I really didn't watch this episode closely enough. Obviously, I'll have to rewatch. And pay special attention to some special scenes.

Oh, I thought she was brain-dead and they were unhooking the machinery. I didn't get full-on dead from it.

I also don't recall any discussion of Anna's state of hymenation one way or the other.

Ruby mentioned her usual body lying on the floor and rotting when she was possessing the other woman to warn the Winchesters, so I imagine her presence didn't actually restore life but just a close facsimile.

Ruby slipped in just after the body'd flatlined. I think she did the one second after technical death thing.

Any time she's not actively in the body would, then, be time it could be spending decomposing cheerfully.

Please don't ask why, but thanks to this conversation, I'm not going to be able to think of Sam and Ruby without thinking of lutefisk.

Umm, knowing how lutefisk is made, I think I get the picture. Need brain bleach now.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

lalalala, I can't hear you.
