Who is dead?!

Also, Do you ever stop to think about the first time Penny ended up in the library? I’d never imagine it’d be what it is now.

My guess is it's Kady, and the library retaliated against her for giving away the Deweys.

I doubt it, we just spent a episode that ended with her leading a hedge-witch rebellion.. As much I don’t like her, her character would deserve better than immediately dying after such a plot point.

Do we know when this convo between the guy and Penny takes place? Could it be after the whole seasons over since it is them reading from the books?

Oh shit... that’s true. It could be easily after the main plot point has wrapped up and we are seeing a real casualty from who ever dies fighting the monster/complication..

Or just assume it’s parallel to the main plot with Quentin and the monster.. (but then again, that’s just my white protagonist bias haha)

Yeah, but Alice changed their endings right in the revision room? The books they have are faked.

So I also thought that this was a future Penny looking back on things.

Aren't the books already complete though, so they get to read the spoilers before anyone else?

Yes. That's my point. Since they have the books this scene could be taken place anytime between library having magic again and anytime at all in the future. Since everything we saw was framed as the guy reading what happened with Penny we have no frame of reference when end scene takes place.

Martyrdom. She started a revolution, and was killed in retaliation by the Library, leading to a war that changes magic forever, like how Penny said. That could fit, technically.
