Among other things/people. (Including a lot of theories that I and other people had about who might show up and what they might do.) Good rendition of the Wiccan outfit, good effect for the grave.

I am extremely glad they did not kill the one black character but that she got her prize and walked ( flew) away.

Admittedly, I was somewhat bothered by the one black character not getting a whole lot of screen time. It's great that she was freed and claimed her power, but it feels odd that we don't know a lot about her. Especially after such a fantastic development of Alice and Lilia. Very odd and glaring misstep for the show.

nice lampshading of the "fireworks" for marvel endings, and then leading to the denouement

a very nice death, way to lampshade the 'marvel 3rd act' problem (from Wandavision, but also even affecting, like, Wonder Woman) and then write circles around it, to an emotionally satisfying end.

Oh and, turns out we got the 'kiss'

For some reason, I thought this was the last episode, and considered it an interestingly ambigous ending.

Honestly, this episode being the end would have been hella interesting! But episode 9 is so good, it works out well!
