She's holding the same flower... I'm sick 😭
So now we've seen the finale, now we've seen how Rio chose to present to first Agatha before everything went wrong (coming for Nicky at his birth), and then to Nicky, while Agatha was sleeping - that gorgeous green dress, holding the green flame aloft. It's very different from the way she showed herself to Lilia.
It's also wildly different than how she chooses to appear to Agatha in the end. Rio's wild with grief. She's been pining for centuries. Agatha has just given her the most final, definitive, insulting no she could muster. There is no future here. There is no past to hold on to. There is only Agatha telling her she doesn't want her. That even in the end, she doesn't want the comfort of passing into a lover's embrace - she wants Rio masked. She wants Rio, essentially, to roleplay anonymity, strangeness, distance.
Now. Given what actually happens - and their moments of tenderness and Agatha's part in them throughout the rest of the show - I don't think we can take Agatha at face value here. But it is the first time Rio's heard Agatha's "no" when it comes to their relationship's viability.... and believed it.
To Agatha, in the moment immediately before everything went wrong, Death appeared as a beautiful woman, bedecked in green, expensive, well-made clothes. She appears the same way to Nicky. She's familiar, she's non-threatening. She tells him to come with her and he goes. She tells him no, kiss your mother, and he does. She extends her hand to him, and he takes it, and they walk together through the darkness. He knows her.
I wonder if she could ever be that version of herself again - or if it went with Nicky. I think there's a subtextual reading of what's going on in Agatha/Rio's relationship where Rio's grieving, too, but Agatha will never be able to see it, for so many reasons - where Rio's angry because she knows she'll never stop being invisible in this way. Where all she wants is for Agatha to see her.
"What can I say, I like the bad boys"
and the bad boy it's just a touch-starved-scarred-desperated-to-be-loved-and-forgiven-by-the-woman-she-loves personification of Death
Just when I thought I was done crying about them
Yes, yes I do
Agatha All Along (2024) 1.08: Follow Me My Friend / To Glory at the End
Did we get a Agathario origin story? No. Will we get one in the future? Maybe. Will we see them both again? Definitely (Rio hates the idea of ghosts and will definitely pursue Agatha). Did we get assurance that Agatha is going to be a bigger part of the MCU? Hell yeah. Did we all sob like babies at Nicky’s history? Yes.
WAS THAT ONE HELL OF A KISS?
FUCK YEAH.
It wasn’t perfect, but it was damn good. I am so excited to see these stories played out further.
I also have all the fuel I need for so much fanfiction.

Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal/Death in AGATHA ALL ALONG (2024) 01x08 | "Follow Me My Friend / To Glory at the End"
Agatha and Rio’s back and forth when Billy is in the greenhouse is so funny
Rio: Power looks good on you Agatha: Honey, everything looks good on me [fighting noises] Rio: Seems like you’re having fun Agatha: Who, me? [cackles]
Babe you are fighting for your life right now
The implication that they've never kissed before because it would kill Agatha. Meaning in ep.4, she was about to offer herself for that boy and Rio stopped her
Ok I can’t wait for the edits about Agatha using the legend of The Witches Road to suck the power out of hundreds of witches for centuries.
And I just realized that’s what Rio meant when she said "You get your power and I get my bodies". They’ve been having a working relationship for years.
so I think marvel owes us a prequel series that actually shows agatha and rio’s relationship because there is so much I feel that we didn’t get to see and it would make a GREAT prequel series. also, kathryn and aubrey’s chemistry is just too good to waste
You do this and I will hate you forever.
Rio constantly yelling “why don’t you want me” and telling Agatha she loves her and that she knows she loves her back was just wow. Rio was truly distraught over Agatha not wanting her anymore. She looked so heartbroken when Agatha said “I don’t want to see you for the rest of my life and when I die” so Rio just didn’t collect her soul once she died. Everything about the finale and their relationship has left me reeling. I cannot function
Agatha harkness gotta be the greatest scammer of all time. Inventing/popularizing a ballad about a series of which trials that don’t even exist, gathering covens like an MLM, then annoying them so bad about their inability to access said nonexistent trials that they blast you with magic thus feeding your succubus powers. lol .
Why is no one talking about how Rio exits by literally cutting through the set like when I tell you I had to pause and walk away because she can break the 4th wall as she’s not a player in the story she’s just death
That is the coolest fucking way to use a practical set get outta here
the way Rio CHOSE not to show her skull face so that she didn’t scare Nicky and told him to kiss his mom and held his hand ??!!! i’m in tears
AGATHARIO KISS. I REPEAT AGATHARIO KISS.
Rio is gonna be so pissed that she hunted her situationship for centuries, finally got her to surrender to her kiss, gave her a truly lovely little burial—
—and Agatha promptly figures out how to become a ghost fourteen seconds later.
When you actually have to do the job you applied for after lying about how capable and great you are on your résumé
No one in history has had special treatment like you.
Everyone is talking about how Nicky wrote the ballad with Agatha, yet noone is talking about how Agatha calls her magic "my purple" because thats what Nicky was calling it
"stop pursuing me" agatha says as if she doesn't leave a trail of bodies for her ex to clean up
ok but looking at the whole thing from rios perspective is actually devastating like what do you mean your love asked you for time with her son so you bent the laws of the universe to give it to her and then when his time runs out and you take him, in a nice and gentle way that involves a goodbye kiss, she hates you for it anyway.
