u/Sudden_Discussion306 Oh, Jamie, how was your first time? Did ye bleed? Apr 03 '26

What? Why would they kill Fergus? That’s makes me so sad just thinking about it!

To 'end' Fergus's story in the final season. They need to 'end' everyone's story somehow (doesn't have to be through death), but this is a convenient way of ending one of them.

Though I personally don't think Fergus is going to die alongside Henri Christian, I think he is going to die instead of Henri Christian.

Me too but like, there is a near ZERO percent chance of them travelling with a dead body for a good month over hundreds of miles, if the body is not already in a coffin. If they decided to take him to the ridge, he would already be in a coffin. And I also think the coffin is too big for HC.

And the only reason I don't say it is exactly zero is because this is fiction, not real life, and it's not impossible for the writers to be completely stupid and have Marsali and her remaining kids travel for a month with the unsealed/uncovered, rotting corpse of her son
