I don't know for certain, but it sure seems like Riful of the West is back but somehow with the poers of her mate. I doubt she'll be able to stop Priscilla much at all, but for an abyssal one that was the size of a mountain it's good to know she didn't die so easily.
Chapter's like this remind me why Claymore is still one of the best action manga's around in terms of art and storytelling. ^_^ Spoiler (mouse over to view)
It's great to see Claire and the flashsword are back too!
