No Funerals, but Plenty of Deaths

The final episode, titled "No Funerals," is a bit ironic considering the number of deaths that occur. The darkling himself, Alexander Morozova, also known as Kirigan, meets his demise. The entire season builds up to this moment, where Alina must use her powers, amplified by the Stag, the Sea Whip, and the Firebird, to destroy the Fold for good.

Nikolai's Battle and Tainted Fate

While Alina ventures into the heart of the Fold, her betrothed, Nikolai Lansov, also known as the major of the 22nd regiment, must fend off Kirigan's forces. However, Nikolai is attacked and almost killed by one of Kirigan's shadow creatures, known as Nishvoya. This attack leaves him tainted by the shadow, which poses a threat to Ravka as he is set to become their next king.

The Final Confrontation: Alina vs. Kirigan

At the heart of the Fold, a final confrontation takes place between Alina and Kirigan. Kirigan aims to stop Alina from obtaining the final amplifier, the Firebird, which is revealed to be her childhood friend, Malian Oritsev. It turns out Mal is of the Morozova bloodline, making him a distant cousin of Kirigan. Their destinies are intertwined, but is their love true, or are they bound by external forces?

The Twist and Kirigan's Warning

The fight between Alina and Kirigan leaves both Mal and Kirigan mortally wounded. In order for Alina to integrate Mal as an amplifier and destroy the Fold, she must be the one to kill him. This act raises the question of Alina's path, whether she is on the verge of becoming the next darkling. Kirigan warns her that she will eventually make the same decisions he did, and there may be no redemption for him.

Mirzost's Corruption and Mal's Resurrection

Mal's resurrection has unexpected side effects. He loses his Grisha tracking abilities, and this raises doubts about the nature of their relationship. Is it destiny or just magic? Meanwhile, Alina's use of mirzost and a Shadow cut hints at her impending corruption. The future holds uncertainties for Alina as she battles with the potential consequences of using dark magic.

The Future Awaits: Wars, Relationships, and Secrets
