Im sk ficking confuZled... hermanns eyes were clear. Like totally clear. Whays going on?!?...

He was away and probably wouldn’t have the chance to be near the witch so she couldn’t continue brainwashing him and stuff so it probably wore out and he’s back to normal maybe

Hmm valid theory

There's also the fact that he still has a bit of control to himself, even while he was still brainwashed. I think he was aware that he was being brainwashed but didn't have the power to overcome it .. though it's hard to say
