episode 7 has emotionally rocked fans after two gut-punching moments brought the show's latest chapter to a close. The series' seventh entry, titled 'Death's Hand In Mine', primarily focuses on Patti Lupone's character Lilia Caldera, the Sicilian witch whose divination ability allows her to view time in a non-linear fashion. Or, to put it in layman's terms, see into the future while also being able to live in the past and present.

Until episode 7, Lilia hasn't had a huge role to play in ; the centuries-old magic wielder comparatively existing in the show margins when sharing the screens with her cohorts. In 'Death's Hand In Mine', however, Lilia takes center stage and ends up sacrificing herself to allow Agatha, Jennifer, and Teen – or – to escape the Salem Seven's clutches after completing the Witches Road's latest trial. is the first time that non-comic book readers have been introduced to Lilia.

Nonetheless, given Lupone's *ahem* towering (if you know, you know) and heart-rending performance in episode 7, fans haven't been shy in revealing how devastated they are over the death of a character they only met six weeks ago (at the time of writing, anyway) on September 18. On Reddit, user wrote "that episode made me so emotional it was so wonderful and sad, I need to sit with that for a while wow", while chimed in to say: "When she was falling, it made me teary eyed. When the song kicked in, it made me bawl".
