Whoever blew up the Nord Stream pipelines was not entirely successful in that one of the Nord Stream 2 lines was apparently undamaged. What is next for that line? Will the two Nord Stream 1 and the other Nord Stream 2 pipelines be repaired?
Not just a “hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea.” Will the undamaged Nord Stream 2 pipeline be recommissioned?

Bud's Offshore Energy (BOE) 
What is the best explanation for only three of the four lines getting breached? Were charges placed on all four and the charge under one of the NS2 lines failed to detonate? If so, who cleaned up the ordinance?
According to Seymour Hersh, 2 of the 8 explosive devices did not detonate, which perhaps explains why one of the NS2 lines was not significantly damaged. I believed the Swedish Navy surveyed the lines and presumably cleared any remaining ordnance, but I have not seen any confirmation of that.
Might explain some of the Swedish reticence to comment or share.
