Black Butler season 5 episode 5 recap

Picking up the events from the previous episode, Black Butler season 5 episode 5 commenced with Sebastian and Snake wondering what lies ahead of the hidden staircase. At this moment, Wolfram's voice thunders down, asking them to leave at once. As they leave, Snake notices something peculiar.
Elsewhere, Finnian tries to feed Ciel more. Suddenly, a werewolf emerges from the window to attack Ciel. Finnian shields Ciel from the werewolf's claws and gets severely scratched on his back. Sebastian and others arrive at the scene, but the werewolf escapes. Sieglinde immediately orders Wolfram to prepare for a sacred ceremony.

Wolfram takes her to the hidden chamber, where she casts a spell to mitigate the werewolves' anger. Interestingly, Snake witnesses the ceremony in secret. Meanwhile, Ciel's condition worsens, as fear grasps him yet again. The Phantomhive servants wonder what they should do. Tanaka tells them to leave the young master alone for the time being.
Meanwhile, Queen Victoria learns from Phipps and Grey that they have finished analyzing the plant specimens they received from Ciel and Sebastian. The Queen is shocked by the contents of the report. She immediately drafted a letter and desires the elimination of the werewolves.

On the other side, Ciel Phantomhive dreams of his alter ego, who tells him that he can stay cooped up with him as long as he wants. Meanwhile, at the village's center, the locals reprimand Sieglinde for keeping the outsiders. They fear the werewolves might attack them soon. Sieglinde reluctantly accepts the villagers' wishes to send Ciel and others home the next day.
In the meantime, Snake describes the ceremonial ritual that Sieglinde underwent to the other servants. Baldroy then suggests they should go in person and check the basement. However, Sebastian reveals that there's a charm on the entrance that warns of the intruders. He deduces that it's how Wolfram detected him and Snake earlier.

The demon butler requests the servants to distract Wolfram while he sneaks into the basement. As Sebastian discreetly enters the basement, he finds something interesting. Meanwhile, Wolfram and Anne return to the manor's kitchen. Suddenly, one of the pet snakes of Snake wraps around Anne. Sebastian soon frees the snake from Anne and lets it go.
As he leaves the kitchen, Wolfram coldly tells Sebastian to leave the next day. Meanwhile, Snake tells Sebastian that Anne smelled like a werewolf. Yet, before they can talk about it more, John Brown appears with a letter from the Queen. The episode ends with Sebastian Michaelis wondering why John has come.
What to expect in Black Butler season 5 episode 6? (speculative)
