The MCU just hit us with the last death we expected

This is your spoiler klaxon: Agatha All Along finale details are coming. Stop reading if you don’t want to know.

If that isn’t enough of a warning, we’re not sure what is.

The journey undertaken while travelling the Witches’ Road has been a turbulent one, but finally we’ve reached its end.

Death was always going to hunt those who walked it, but fans still weren’t prepared for this character to meet their demise.

There have been hints, stirrings if you will, suggesting that Agatha herself may die in this Marvel adaptation. However, none believed it would truly happen.

We’re sorry to say that you should have had more faith in how committed Agatha All Along’s showrunner, Jac Schaeffer, is.

Does more death await us in the MCU? Marvel Studios teases us with a first look ahead below

Schaeffer has previously spoken out about how “permanent” deaths on the Witches’ Road are, which only makes this particular MCU passing even more shocking.

Agatha Harkness is dead.

We know, we know, it’s a lot to take in.

With the coven having been slowly whittled down, we learnt in the final two episodes that Rio, aka Death, is unhappy with Billy’s existence.

You see, according to Rio, the teenager has upset the “sacred balance” of things.

He needs to die properly this time.

But Agatha, knowing the teen quite well now, knows that he must give himself willing if he’s to stay dead – he could just reincarnate himself otherwise.

A lot of drama unfolds before we reach the climax of this deal born between Agatha and Rio, including Jen discovering it was Agatha all along who bound her.

Billy also finishes his trial thanks to a little help from dear old Agatha, which as you can imagine, angers Rio.

Left to face Death’s wrath, a showdown of sorts begins.

In all the commotion, Billy comes back to aid Agatha, only for the witch to seemingly turn on him.

Her plan with Rio revealed, Billy mentally connects with Agatha to ask her if this is similar to the fate that befell her son.

Touched by those words, Agatha goes against her typically ruthless nature and decides to embrace Death, kissing Rio and thus ending her life.

Death, however, isn’t quite as final as it has been for other witches. Although Agatha doesn’t come back to life, she does return as a ghost.

It’s setting up a sequel for Phase 6 quite nicely, don’t you think?

As difficult as it was to see Agatha finally die after years of betraying and surviving by the skin of her teeth, her end has ushered in a new beginning.
