I do not think that
Burt is going to die. This would be just - inappropriate. A lot of people like Burt. Needless to say, he is not immortal but in my opition, Mr Wayland is not someone who would kill him off in such a cynical way. Burt deserves better. In addition to
Lizzy's pregnancy, he be a hell of an obstacle for team good. Especially as an European, I remember the pictures and films taken in concentration and prisoner camps in Germany during World War II and in Yugoslavia during the Bosnia war. Why do I mention it? Because I think nothing will stop
Scratch from physically destroying Burt. She will at least try to wipe out his very existence if it helps to get the information about
Pegs out of him. His unwillingness to cooperate makes her blind to see him as the living being he is. Now imagine what hunger, pain and physical humiliation have done to him over the past months. Will he ever be the same again? I highly doubt it.
