A short remark. Working hypothesis: the moral majority on this forum expects Scratch and Ink to be killed by Team Good ultimately by the end of the season. If Team Good is killed instead, my guess is that this would be regarded as a valid but not very likely possibility. In my opinion, most of the forum members are crossing their fingers for a more positive outcome.

Personally, I am a bit torn - because I like Scratch very much. But this shall not be discussed here.

If Scratch is killed someday, I will be sad but also satisfied as well because she never was that omnipotent prime evil we have come to know as the evil overlord Ink. Every drop of blood spilled, each finger cut off, the very tension in the air which surrounded each and every confrontation with her will be remembered.

Having said that, I do not know what to with Ink. It is a strange feeling, you know. He is the big evil mastermind, the one who pulls the strings, but really, I strongly believe that (if it will happen) Ink's death will not have the same impact on me than Scratch's potential death. It is hard to find the right words as both "baddies" are great. Maybe it resembles my Star Wars experience, I cared for the Leia and Han subplot as well as for Darth Vader (Sith choking grasp and epic one-liners) but I always considered the Emperor to be much more than a necessary part of the story in order to get things going, you know.

The bottom line is, I hope that Ink will get more backstory before the story ends.
