there are half a dozen easy explanations for the Compulsion vanishing... Like I said, I'm on the fence mostly because we didn't see her die "on screen" ... she could have dropped the weave herself, tied it so that it dissipated within an hour, had another woman (perhaps one of her slaves is a wilder she taught) weave it (it was different than Kerbs), Delana or another member of the BA could have been there ... the very fact that we can't rule these things out is why I question if there is something up BSand/RJs sleeve.
On the flip side if she's dead I'm not going to be upset, I just though the lead up was rather transparent and kind of lame ... especially since I really like seeing how shocked the FS are when they do actually find out they are about to die! Semirhage's death was great!

Graendal's death would imply a major logical flaw in the story.
