It is sad but I believe that most of the forum users want Scratch to be killed off. The general Hollywood folklore implies that all baddies have to die before the story end expect for Hannibal Lector played by Sir Anthony Hopkins. Personally, I hope she will be back in chapter 45 because I like her evil character.

If she dies, I would prefer that her send-off includes a sugar reference. Hm... maybe a final battle with Michael at a sugar refinery?
