RIP Lilia.
Usually I’d say if we don’t see the body there is a chance, but I think her going back to the start (of her training) means her time is over.
I’m ready glad we got just a great send-off and they did an excellent job both foreshadowing the episode and telling it in a confusing but understandable way.
Assuming that’s the end of the Salem Seven, they made for a weak red herring. Although maybe they’re an extension of Rio and they have a little more story left to tell.
Also, “Teenager, damn using his full name”
IMHO - The best episode so far.
I liked Lilia as a character before this episode, I love her now. Did not expect her to get an episode like this.
Did also not expect such a queer episode. From Agatha’s “you want a straight answer? Ask a straight woman” to Billy’s “I guess I’m the queer-ent”.
Interesting time-tripping parallels to Loki season 2, but done in a very different way and more out-of-comfort-zone for Marvel. I really hope the studio gave Jac Schaeffer creative freedom for the last episode, as opposed to Wandavision.
“We’re not cool, teenager” - “Damn, using his full name” 😂
Whelp, Lilia was definitely a character that grew to become my favorite. Brava Patti LuPone!
I absolutely was not expecting the Lilia reveal to be so incredibly satisfying. A couple of days ago, I wondered if anybody had listed all of her various outbursts in an attempt to put them in some meaningful order, but even though I was on the right track, this was much better than what I was imagining (I was guessing some kind of latent prescient ability locked away in a separate personality). I love Patti LuPone and they really did both her and Lilia justice here. Perhaps more than anything else, this will be the hook for a rewatch, seeing Lilia again in her true context.
I simultaneously want the series to be done so I can start again and want it to keep going forever.
