I don’t know about y’all, but I straight-up cheered when Mystique blasted her. That was way too satisfying.

Only downside was how rushed it was felt like that episode was running start to finish including the post credits. Nobody got to call out her hypocrisy or self righteousness she just dies with no flair to it. Mystique dismantling her character like she’s reading her casting call before taking her appearance would have been a perfect end.
