Following Lilia’s death, Agatha is confronted by Rio, the personification of Death. She believes Billy is an abomination as he gained a second life by entering the body of William Kaplan. Agatha agrees to deliver him willingly to Death once they’ve completed the road and is allowed to continue on the journey with Jen and Billy.
But after a few steps they find that The Witch’s Road goes in a circle. Angered that the road is not what he thought, Billy puts his shoes back on, and the three are transported to body bags in a version of Agatha's basement with grow lights that slowly go out. The final trial has begun.
Each of the remaining members of the Coven need to get their reward for reaching the end of the road. When Jen learns that Agatha was the witch who bound her, she performs the unbinding spell and regains her abilities. Jen disappears, having gotten what she needed from the Road.
Agatha helps Billy locate Tommy's soul, and Billy puts it in the body of a drowning boy. Billy disappears and Agatha grows a flower through a crack in the floor using a seed from her locket, completing the trial in the nick of time. She leaves the room and finds herself in her garden, where Death awaits her.
While Billy returns to help Agatha, she attempts to complete her vow to Death and give Billy up, but he convinces her it is her time. Agatha kisses her old lover and dies, returning to the earth.
Death allows Billy to leave, and he returns home to his parents. Upon entering his bedroom, he realises that many of the objects match aspects of the Road and hears Agatha laughing.

Agatha spends the next six years absorbing other witches' powers and leaving their bodies for death while raising Nicholas. As they travel together, Nicholas and his mother concoct a familiar song of their journey. Over many iterations of their travelling tune, the Ballad of the Witches' Road is formed. Nicholas performs the song in a small village, hoping to ensnare some witches for his mother. But he is too sick to complete the ruse. That night Death finally comes to take the young boy.
While Agatha mourns her son at his graveside, a witch from the village approaches her. She wants Agatha to help guide her down the famous Witches Road. Agatha hatches a plan to continue her long life using the song she created with her son. She spends the next three centuries absorbing other witches' magic by tricking them into gathering covens to open the Road then aggravating them into attacking her.
Back in Billy’s bedroom in present day, Agatha, now a ghost, tells Billy that he created the Road. He despairs, blaming himself for the deaths of Lilia, Alice, and Sharon. Agatha tries to relieve some of his guilt saying she killed Alice and Lilia gave herself up but admits Sharon was killed by Billy’s mind. As Agatha planned to kill the whole coven anyway, she believes he should consider himself a saviour as Jen got out alive.
