After watching OHMSS for the 7th time, i've kept wondering: Whatever happened to the ladies from Piz Gloria? I mean, they are bringing an infertility disease(If you totally paid attention to Blofeld's mumbling conversation). Here's the line that says it all:

"Blofeld: laughs, Oh, they will. In any case I've prepared a demonstration. Remember that disagreable outbreak of foot and mouth disease in England last summer? Well, I shall instruct them, in very convincing terms, exactly how I arranged that and my capacity has improved since.

Bond: allergy vaccines? bacteria? bacteriological warfare!

Blofeld: With a difference. Our great breakthrough since last summer has been the confection of a certain Vidas Omega.

Bond: infertility.

Blofeld: Total infertility in plants and animals - not just disease in a few, Mr Bond, or the loss of a single crop - but the destruction of a whole strain - FOREVER, throughout an entire continent. If my demands are not met I shall proceed with the systematic extinction of whole species of cereals and livestock all over the world.

Bond: Including, I suppose, the human race?

Blofeld: I don't think, Mr Bond, that the United Nations will let it come to that. Not after their scientists analyze a small sample of Vidas Omega they've received.

Bond: Epidemics of sterility. Nothing is born. No seed even begins to sprout. They'll find an antidote.

Blofeld: Of course. IF i give them enough time."


Okay, so Blofeld gave the disease to the girls by curing them of allergies. And then Irma Bunt released them on Christmas eve. What happens next?

I think here are the possiblities:
1)Bond alerted the Mi6 about those girls. The British government alerted the WHO and quickly quarantine those girls all over the world and also everyone who made contact with them. The whole world is saved and only 6% of the world population is caught with the disease. Quite possible.

2)When the girls were on their way to the airport, Bond and Tracy made contact with the MI6. They soon hired the SAS to take down and killed those girls by causing an avalanche , making the van the girls were in hit by the avalance. Unrealistic, but possible.

3)The girls were let go without any warning. Even Bond ignored the girls and instead decided to stop Blofeld. in the end, people made contact with the ladies. The human population became infertile(Except Blofeld), causing a Children of Men-like situation to unfold. In the end, the world got ed up, and in year 2027, a man named Theo Faron would protect an African refugee who was pregnant for the first time since 1970. Okay, that was way over the top.

So whatever happens to the Piz Gloria girls? I'd like to hear your opinions.

I don't see what the problem is. The girls can't do anything without Blofeld's voice and Blofeld can't contact them without the station at Piz Gloria. If they dont use the spray then nothing happens.

Bond knows everything since he was there when Blofeld gave them the package (with the receiver and all that). Bond can easily inform MI-6 and they can then take the virus and help the girls from the hypnosis Blofeld gave them.

They lived happily ever after?

[Righty007]

The girls didn't have the disease in them. The disease was in their spray that they couldn't use without Blofeld's voice. I don't see an issue.

[DamnCoffee]

They'd probably still be alone at midnight holding their compact mirror.

[David_M]

Indeed, it's the spray that has the disease, and without a signal from Blofeld they can't use it.

Of course, the trouble with that is, Blofeld escapes at the end, doesn't he? So it's possible he could rig up another transmitting station somewhere and contact the girls after all, just presumably not at the originally agreed-upon time.

We're still okay, though. Remember when Bond breaks into Blofeld's inner sanctum at the end of the film, he takes out that spy camera and photographs all the points on the world map where the girls have been deployed. As he does, we see flashes of the girl's faces, indicating (to me, anyway) that Bond is matching in his memory which girl goes with which location.

So I guess I just assumed that Bond tipped off the authorities to the locations involved, and gave descriptions and first names (which is all he knew) of the girls, which, combined with a check of passengers arriving from Switzerland, should have been a good enough starting point for officials to find and detain them.

It was the usual tale of success and regret.

Three of the girls - including the Irish one - ended up on the make-up counter in Bloomingdales, Bolton.

One of them started a small sandwich business supplying offices and businesses in the lunchtime rush. Irma Bunt soon became the face of 'Bezants To Go!' and oddly sales dipped.

Two more of the girls ended up representing Switzerland in the Curling semi-finals of the 1972 Winter Olympics, though there were questions of stone-tampering.

Ruby Bartlett started up a fast food empire servicing the poultry needs of Morecambe Bay. It is called 'Breast Or Leg' and still gets Bond fans visiting to this day.

Sounds like a fitting enough end for them all.

I'm LOLing right now.

Good one.

[TheSaint]

I always thought that there could be a follow-up to this situ, where some minor SPECTRE lackey reactivates the girls years later. Bond realizes what's going on, teams up with one of the "angels of death" to stop the others, while trying to figure out who has re-activated them.
