In the finale of the show, Warwick's fate is connected to the main characters, leading to a fierce battle on top of a broken Hexgate tower. The situation gets worse, and Warwick loses control and fights against Vi and Jinx. During the fight, Warwick attacks Vi, trying to kill her. To save her sister, Jinx quickly steps in and pushes Warwick off the tower. Both Vi and Warwick fell onto another beam below.


Vi gets up but takes a moment to look at Warwick, who appears dead, realizing he was once her father figure. But he is not dead, as he jumps up and attacks Vi. Jinx jumps down, knocking Warwick off the beam, but she also falls. Vi catches Jinx’s hand, but Warwick grabs Jinx’s leg. Vi struggles to hold both of them. Jinx accepts her fate, removes the gemstone from Vi’s gauntlet, and causes it to slip off. This makes both Jinx and Warwick fall. As she falls, Jinx sets off one of her bombs.
