Warning! The following contains major spoilers for episode 7 of Agatha All Along, so turn back now if you haven't seen it…
After weeks of speculation and clues, the true identity of the mysterious Aubrey Plaza witch has finally been revealed and well, it's something we all saw coming.
While Rio Vidal's character has been shrouded in mystery throughout the new Disney Plus show, Agatha All Along, until now the most recent episode, 'Death's Hand In Mine,' showed the witch's true colors. In fact, his name is even in the episode title…
That's right, as many of you had already guessed, Rio de Plaza is Death, a major villain from the Marvel comics. All was revealed when Lilia realized that she was walking the Witch's Path to reach her destination, which is ultimately her death. As Patti LuPone's witch pieces together the clues, she encounters Rio in the space under the road.
Vidal tells Lilia, “Don't you recognize me, Lilia? In the end, all roads lead to me,” as his royal, skull-like face peeks out of a hooded cloak and brandishes a knife.
Just before Lilia sacrifices herself to save the rest of her makeshift Salem Seven coven, the LuPone witch asks Agatha about Rio's true identity, and Harkness simply replies, “What can I say? I like boys.” “bad guys.”
Although Rio has long been theorized to be Death, fans love how the reveal played out. Check out some of our favorite reactions below:

Lilia: “Rio, she is death” Billy: “Is this true?” Agatha: “What can I say? I like bad boys” Agatha officially likes bad boys #AgathaAllAlong pic.twitter.com/d99cVSP7Xx24 October 2024
Now that the Salem Seven are gone, it seems that Death will be the antagonist in the future, walking the rest of the Path with the remaining members of the coven, who could be in danger since the Plaza witch is looking for “bodies.”
Before episode 7 even started, I had two: RIP Alice and Sharon. Lilia may have also joined the list this week, but who's to say Death won't be looking for more…
