Black Butler season 5 episode 6 recap

The episode kicks off with John Brown handing over the Queen's letter to Sebastian, who is astonished to read the content. Sebastian also informs John about Ciel's ailment. As the Queen's aide leaves, Sebastian tells him to beware of the werewolves. Following that, the demon butler enters Ciel's room.
Ciel Phantomhive trembles at Sebastian's sight and wants him gone. At this moment, Finnian arrives at the scene. He urges Sebastian to leave, but the demon butler says he has some urgent business with Ciel. When Finnian doesn't listen, he throws the boy out of the room and shuts the door.

Following that, Sebastian approaches Ciel with a dark aura emitting from his body. His face also turns menacing as he reminds Ciel of his "revenge." He also asks him whether he has forgotten about the Faustian contract. Sebastian feels Ciel has become "boring," so he attempts to devour his soul.
While Ciel trembles in fear, he fights a lone battle against his alter ego in his consciousness. Ciel's alter ego tells him that it's fine to let go of his revenge and stay with him. At this moment, Ciel finds himself trapped in a cage, with Vincent, Rachel, and others watching him. Everyone asks him a question related to his revenge.

However, Ciel cannot answer them. Suddenly, he remembers that he uses Sebastian's powers only for himself. Thus, with renewed resolve, he breaks free from the cage and runs toward Sebastian. After that, Ciel Phantomhive regains consciousness. Interestingly, he returns to his usual self as he rests his leg on Sebastian's shoulder and asks him whether he truly intended to eat his soul.
Sebastian tells him that he was only 90% serious. In addition, Sebastian asks Ciel about his condition and why he became disoriented. Ciel then orders the other servants to come, as he wants to tell all of them. The Earl comments that he was terrified at the smallest details and had no control over his actions.

Meanwhile, Sebastian informs Ciel about Queen Victoria's letter and hands it to him. Ciel reads the code written on the letter and finds out that it's an analysis report of the items Sebastian sent to the Royal Family for research.
After reading the analysis report, Ciel uncovers the truth of the werewolf curse. In addition, he reads another letter, where the Queen writes that she wants to have tea with Sieglinde.
