So, I don't know if someone said this already because this thread's too long and it's late, but am I the only one who doesn't think Penny died at all? Sure, a biological creature would almost instantly die from getting cut in half (obviously), but Penny is a robot so that rule isn't necessarily true.

I think the more likely scenario is that she's in a low-powered state roughly similiar to a medically induced coma. Remember, she's built for combat against the Grimm, so it would only make sense for her to have an emergency feature like that.

Plus, Ironwood would have to be one stone-cold son of a bitch to keep his composure throughout the whole crisis if she truly died right in front of him (although, I'm not saying he isn't, but he IS supposed to be a "good guy"...).
