** Even more credit to Raine, after finally getting Belos out of their body and realising what he's planning to do, their first instinct is to chase after him, even though it's clear the possession has taken a toll on them. They even manage to form a barrier to try and stop Belos' plan, while being suffocated by his necrotic flesh, though sadly, not quite quick enough.

** Belos ultimately meets his end at the hands (well, feet) of the woman who is greatly hinted to be the distant descendant of his brother and the witch he so despised for "stealing" him away, the son of the mythical being he acted as a false shepherd for and was assimilating into a weapon against him not moments before, and one of the Coven heads he manipulated and recently possessed as a tool, leaving them with lasting damage, all while the human girl who accidentally aided him this time refused to knowingly help him at his weakest moment. The only way it could have been more [[KarmicDeath karmic]] was if Hunter had also gotten to join in as well.

** Even more cathartic is how Belos doesn't die off in a spectacular or grand fashion; his attempt to use his former human form as a WoundedGazelleGambit barely works as he fumbles his words, trying to look for a quick excuse with nothing left to use. The rains symbolically melt it away, reducing him to what he truly is on the inside now: a pathetic, rotting corpse who can do nothing but beg for mercy. The once-mighty colonizer [[UndignifiedDeath dies without power or without grace]], ultimately getting ''stomped out like a bug.''

** Unto itself, the sense that the series ends on the note that Lilith and Eda still have their curses. A different story would end with their curses cured, but the show is brave enough to go a route where the Clawthorne sisters truly [[BittersweetEnding learn to live with their curses]]. In such a way, it does ''not'' [[BrokenAesop compromise the moral]] of "Keeping up A-fear-ances", that sometimes one must learn to accept one's "shortcomings" or "differences" instead of trying to rip them out. Best of all, it implies that even without their magic, Eda and Lilith made their way on the Boiling Isles.
