Blum was still coping with the loss of her husband, and she was not ready to start a romantic relationship with Massimo yet. There was a distance between Massimo and Ute, his wife. Even though she tried to make romantic gestures, he never showed interest in her. She believed that their distance was a result of the miscarriages and their inability to form a family. The indifference of her husband and the sadness of not becoming a mother overwhelmed Ute, and she would often spend her time drinking to numb her pain. When she got to know that Massimo and Blum were making out in the parking lot of a local pub, she refused to continue with the marriage and gave Massimo two weeks to leave her apartment. Since Ute was gone, Massimo called Blum to his place for dinner. The absence of Ute initially made Blum feel strange, but gradually she realized that it was more than just a dinner. Massimo discussed how he knew that Blum was involved in every disappearance and death that recently occurred. But he was ready to maintain silence because of his affection for Blum.
Meanwhile, Reza was going over the footage that Hackspiel had handed Blum after he found it in Edwin’s place. He realized that the group consisted of five members, and they were yet to know who the fifth member was. He called to inform Blum, but she was busy with Massimo. Blum stopped Massimo while making out; she was not emotionally ready to get involved. As Massimo was tucking in his shirt, Blum noticed that he had the same Boys’ Scout inscription that all four members had. He was a part of the gang, and he pretended to be on Blum’s side all along. He was the one driving the black Rover that ran over Mark. He was also responsible for Dunja’s death. He explained that he was the executioner of the group because none of the other members could dare commit murder. He enjoyed killing the innocent, as that was the only way to confirm that their secret remained safe. He believed that he and Blum were the same; they were murderers because they never felt deeply emotional about the lives that they took.

Blum explained that she killed to bring justice, but he thought that it was just her way to get away from the sins she committed. Blum threatened to shoot him, but she soon realized that the gun was not loaded. After beating Bloom unconscious, Massimo took her body to the old mountain station, where all the young women were brought and killed. Reza joined the pieces and drove to the mountain station to save Blum. Blum came to her senses before Massimo could set her on fire. While Massimo tried to tackle Reza, Blum attacked him from behind and stabbed him to death.
We later learn that the group of five was born the day Thiele’s daughter died. Thiele was hellbent on not allowing the Schonborns to build their ropeway to connect their ski areas on his property, and without his consent, they could not proceed. Thiele later regretted challenging the Schonborns because that ultimately led to his daughter’s death. The group of five took her on a ride on the ropeway, and that was when Edwin expressed his disgust for her and her father. He wanted to teach her a lesson for the trouble her father caused. They raped her, and later Massimo advised them to kill her to get away with their crime. That was the first time Massimo committed a murder, and the group promised to protect one another. The inscription was their way of promising to maintain silence till the end of time. Thiele never got to know what happened to his daughter, and Sebastian was blamed for her death because he used to be her friend, and she was last seen with him.

Mrs. Schonborn brought Sebastian under her wing to perform her dirty work, making him believe that she was doing him a favor. After finding Edwin’s videos, he realized that Mrs. Schonborn had employed him out of guilt for the crimes her son committed. She continues to remain clueless about what happened to her son, though she surely can assume the worst. Blum and Reza managed to convince the police that it was Massimo who had conducted all the murders, and every piece of evidence related to each murder was found in his apartment. Blum met with Mrs. Schonborn and discussed the crimes committed by her son, but she maintained that he was an innocent boy who made friends with the wrong people. Blum blackmailed her into staying away from her life now that she had video evidence of the crime. Mrs. Schonborn might have assumed what had happened to her son, and she, too, was scared of her son’s dark past surfacing and spoiling the business that she had built with a lot of hard work. Even though she wanted to know what happened to her son, her hands were tied, and she was forced to remain silent all her life.

At the end of “Woman of the Dead,” it is revealed that Blum was responsible for the deaths of her parents. Her adoptive parents were ruthless with her and punished her whenever she made a mistake. Her father would lock her in a coffin if she refused to perform the duties of an undertaker. She grew up without parental affection, and that was the reason why she chose to kill her parents when she got the opportunity. Out in the sea in a boat, her parents decided to go for a swim. Blum removed the stairs and listened to music, pretending not to hear them as they cried for help. Blum had a low emotional quotient; she lacked basic sympathy for those she did not care about. While a lack of parental affection can be the cause of a troubled childhood, that is not a strong reason for anyone to murder their parents. At the end of the day, Massimo was right about how it was because of their lack of emotions that they could commit a series of murders. While it was the thirst for revenge that resulted in the deaths of the five members, can the deaths of her parents ever be justified? Mark knew Blum’s truth, and he believed that she deserved another chance. He loved her for the person she was, and Blum knew that she would never find that kind of love again. “Woman of the Dead” is all about how Blum’s rage, hatred, and love all act together and result in the deaths of the five members, bringing a sense of peace to her life that she is always in search of.
