That Bit Where Teen Was Nearly Dying And Rio Was Hovering On The Edge, Twirling A Flower Between Fingers,

That bit where Teen was nearly dying and Rio was hovering on the edge, twirling a flower between fingers, with that look on her face as she kept glancing between the Teen and Agatha was genuinely my favorite moment.

Like she was at the edge of the knife, and like there was somethings she was hungering to do but wasn't quite sure that she would do.

And Agatha, terrified, half buried in a terrible memory. On the edge of seeing it repeat itself. Pleading, genuinely pleading for Rio not to do it.

And the fact that... Rio didn't.

And at the same time, that she would have if it had lasted much longer. If that healing hadn't worked, Rio would have.

But. Isn't it just as important that Rio gave it enough time for the Coven to actually manage to cast that spell?

Because I feel like that wasn't required. And Agatha knew it wasn't required. Which is kinda why she was already acting different around Rio before Rio started to tell the witches about her "scar".

I mean, Agatha spent the whole episode either trying to attack Rio, avoid Rio, or manipulate Rio into revealing herself to the Coven.

But at the end there, she sat down beside Rio at the campfire. Quite close too. Even though it was directly after Teen had asked her about her son and you'd think that would have reawakened her hatred at Rio.

But Agatha doesn't look like someone who is currently remembering that she hates this woman. If anything she's remembering the easy connection they must have shared before all that took place.

Which is probably why Rio even goes into what might genuinely be the closest thing to an apology she's capable of (so, no actual apology but a show of regret... and some self-justification thrown in there).

Anyway. All this to say, I am here for this messy messy love story between a murderous witch and... someone who I agree is probably Death (or maybe a Reaper).
