I am saying it again, if you rewatch the kiss, you'll notice that at the very beginning Rio tries to push Agatha away once she realize what is happening.

When Agatha kisses her, Rio is surprised and probably her first tought was that she changer her mind or she was saying goodbye. And then she realizes that Agatha is grabbing her powers, so killing herself, and she gently tries to push her away. Before taking the deal and devouring Agatha, letting her surrender to Rio's love.

The Kiss of Death

The Godfather Part II (1974) X Interview with the Vampire (2022) Parallel

honestly this is just an excuse to combine my love for the godfather and the iwtv tv show. but anyways let’s get into it.

In the hit 1974 film The Godfather Part II, Michael Corleone kisses Fredo as a way of marking him and letting him know that he knows of his betrayal and that Fredo will be murdered. This kiss happens at a New Year’s Eve party.

At the very end of the movie, Michael watches as Fredo gets murdered by Al Neri, basically Michael’s assistant.

Interview with the Vampire (2022) does a very similar thing with Louis and Lestat. At this party for Mardi Gras, Louis knows he and Claudia will kill Lestat yet kisses him. The meanings of the kisses are different specifically because Louis did not use it to tell Lestat about his upcoming murder yet they both mark the death of the one who received the kiss.

Lestat is then murdered by Louis and Claudia, 2 of the people closest to him just like how Fredo was murdered.

anyways this is definitely not what the show runners meant but i thought the idea of the kiss of death being prevalent in both pieces of media very interesting!!

The Kiss of Death (Italian: Il Bacio della Morte), also known as The Last Kiss (Italian: L’Ultimo Bacio), is a black and white photograph by an unknown author, taken on 12 May 1957. It depicts the moment in which Linda Christian kisses Alfonso de Portago at a brief stop during the 1957 Mille Miglia race in northern Italy. Portago was killed moments later when a tire burst at 150 miles per hour (240 km/h) in Guidizzolo, Cavriana. Over the years, it has become one of the most renowned photographs of kisses and a symbol of young audacity and passion
