Summary. Clemensia's fate in "The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes" remains unknown, but the deadly snake bite she suffers suggests she didn't survive. There are hints that Clemensia may have survived the snake bite, as Dr. Gaul injects her with something after the attack, but she is never seen again in the movie.
In the books Clemensia gets bit and starts having a seizure and rainbow pus comes out of the wounds then later on her skin gets dry and peely and her eyes turn yellow. I just think it would be a great way to showcase the terrifying nature of the snakes and how evil Dr Gaul is.
The games culminate with Lucy Gray emerging as the victor, thanks to Snow's intervention and a surprising twist allowing two victors from the same district. However, Snow's actions carry consequences, leading to his exposure as a cheater and traitor.
The bottom line is that we do not know exactly what happened to Lucy Gray Baird. The movie leaves her fate ambiguous, matching the ending of her fate in the book.
This comes as a result of Lucy attempting to leave Snow during a rainstorm after they plot to flee the Districts, but she learns that he was responsible for killing Sejanus Plinth during the travels.
Watch This Before Seeing Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (Hunger Games Prequel Explained)
What did snow do to Tigris?
At an unknown point in time years before the 74th Hunger Games, she was personally fired by Snow, the stated reason being due to her being too surgically enhanced.
In the movie, Snow and Baird develop a friendship as mentor and tribute after Lucy Gray saves Snow's life during an attack on Panem. After being sent to District 12 as a Peacekeeper in the aftermath of the 10th Hunger Games, Snow starts to deepen his relationship with Lucy Gray, which develops in a more romantic light.
For one thing, Songbirds & Snakes is set 64 years before Katniss volunteers as tribute. That means there's probably a generation or two between Lucy Gray and Katniss if they are related. Fans also know who Katniss' mother is, so that rules out Lucy Gray being her mom.
Fan theories posit that Lucy Gray Baird may be a relative of Katniss Everdeen or President Coin. Director Francis Lawrence told us Baird likely isn't Coin, but could have ties to the character.
Is Lucy Gray mentioned in The Hunger Games trilogy?
Either way, no one seems to know what became of the 10th Hunger Games victor. She's never mentioned again in any of the franchise's movies. Keep reading to see how the book handles Lucy Gray's disappearance, theories on what happened to the singer, and whether or not we could ever see more of her story.
She stepped into Petra's world when she needed her the most although Petra does not realise this until one night Nisha disappears leaving all her belongings behind and no clues as to where she went or why. Nisha leaves behind a void and an emptiness in both Petra and Yiannis.
No, Lucy Gray has no relation to Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games. When the original novel for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes first came out, some fans suspected that Lucy might actually be Katniss' grandmother.
As the Games started to develop over the years, implementing new rules and aspects of the games, she was eventually picked to become a stylist for the tributes for an unknown district. Katniss had remarked that she remembers Tigris from the earliest games she could remember.
He married Julia Pompey but their marriage was loveless. It was suggested by many that he poisoned his wife because she tried to kill him and take their sons place.
The movie also introduces viewers to some other young students of the Capitol Academy, including Sejanus Plinth (Josh Rivera), who has unusual empathy for a student of Capitol status, with Snow ultimately betraying him and landing him in prison and sentenced to death.
In the end, Spruce and Sejanus are hanged at the Hanging Tree; Snow feels responsible for Sejanus' death and is wracked with grief. According to Jacobson, Sejanus' death is a "defining moment" that is "essential" to Snow's transformation into the evil President Snow fans know from the original trilogy.
Since some of the Covey's songs survived into the trilogy through Katniss Everdeen, who learned them from her father, it's been theorized that they are descendants of the Covey— probably through Maude Ivory, who shared Katniss's ability to memorize music after a listen or two.
Suzanne Collins has never confirmed the theory labeling Maude Ivory Baird as Katniss' grandmother, but it's possible that the upcoming film adaptation of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes will dive deeper into this idea, perhaps retroactively confirming the theory.
In The Hunger Games series, Katniss killing President Coin instead of President Snow surprised many. Still, it was because Coin was revealed to be a ruthless leader with her own political interests.
Ultimately, Dr. Gaul considered these games a disaster, presenting the Capitol as far too vulnerable. She erased all recordings of the games, keeping only a master copy in her own personal vault for her own purposes.
After the release of The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, people have speculated that Coin could be related to Lucy Gray Baird, under the assumption that Lucy Gray ended up finding District 13.
He grows up in D12 with the Covey, and eventually at the age of 24 in what would be year 36 he gets married and has a baby boy born in year 37. That baby turns out to be Katniss's father. He gets married in year 57 and Katniss is born in year 58. So Snow could be Katniss's great grandfather.
What happens to Lucy Gray after The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes?
Summary. Lucy Gray Baird's ultimate fate in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes remains a mystery, with no concrete answer from Suzanne Collins. Theories surrounding Baird's fate include the possibility that she was killed by Coriolanus Snow, or that she managed to survive and escape.
However, he did genuinely seem to care about his granddaughter; when she watched Katniss tearfully hugging Peeta in the Hunger Games after Finnick Odair revived him, she said she wanted to love someone that much someday. Snow beamed at her and replied, "And so you shall, my darling. So you shall."
On a similar note, in Mockingjay, we learn that President Snow has a granddaughter who would be of age to compete in the Hunger Games were she a resident of the Districts rather than the Capitol. In the film version of Catching Fire, we meet the girl herself (though we don't learn her name).
