Everyone we know seem to be looking at their wrists aso though they are looking at marks on their hands. Maybe that is where the title "Souls of the departed" comes from. And maybe Nimue is the villain for 5B. Souls of the Departed is the name of a Bruce Springsteen song. Adam Horowitz is a Springsteen fan, and has names numerous episodes after his songs.

Also, Nimue is probably the Big Bad of the 5.A arc. Her actions obviously will have severe consequences, that will lead into the 5.b arc. Regardless, I think, the Darkness will be defeated in Swan Song.
