Walking Dead Rosita, Eugene and Gabriel

Summary

  • Rosita’s final line to Eugene in The Walking Dead holds a deeper meaning, showcasing the strength of their friendship and love for each other even in the face of death.
  • Rosita’s death was tragic but she went out on her own terms, determined to help save her friends and family before passing away with Eugene by her side.
  • Killing off Rosita was a gut punch for fans, but it made for a more emotional and impactful ending to the series, highlighting the strength of her character and her bond with Eugene.

Rosita’s last words in The Walking Dead may seem simple, but her final line has a much deeper meaning. The Walking Dead series finale saw some emotional moments as its 12-year run came to a close, but Rosita’s final scenes were simultaneously heartwarming and heartbreaking. Rosita spent her last moments surrounded by those most important to her — particularly her best friend, Eugene Porter. As Rosita felt her life leaving her body, she had one final sentiment to share with Eugene as he sat beside her.

Eugene and Rosita have been together since they first appeared on The Walking Dead — along with Abraham, who is also gone — and their friendship is one of the strongest bonds The Walking Dead has ever seen. When she met her end in the Walking Dead series finale, Rosita would rather have no one else at her side. The thought of life apart is unfathomable for either of them, and the proof of their love for each other lies in their gut-wrenching goodbyes. While other deaths seemed horrific and tragic, this one actually sent Rosita out with a special moment.

How Rosita Died In The Walking Dead

In The Walking Dead series finale, Rosita and her group are at the hospital when she hears the news that the ambulance carrying her child and two other babies has crashed and is now surrounded by walkers. Rosita, Eugene, and Gabriel then get to the ambulance and escape it, each carrying a child in a sling. Together, they battle back-to-back through a swarm of walkers toward a drainage pipe leading to a high window. The last to go up, Rosita is dragged off the pipe back down into the horde. Miraculously, Rosita cuts her way back out of the swarm and makes her escape, seemingly unscathed.

However, later at the safe house in the Estates, Eugene slowly realizes that Rosita was indeed bit on her shoulder after she fell from the pipe. Rosita makes Eugene promise to keep her injury a secret for now and more importantly, to make sure she does not turn when the time comes. After the Commonwealth is saved, Rosita retires to her room surrounded by loved ones who she’s told of her fatal injury. Rosita says goodbye to everyone, saving her last moment for Eugene. Eugene tearfully then ensures Rosita doesn’t rise again after she finally passes, making good on his word.

What Were Rosita’s Final Walking Dead Words?

Rosita’s death in The Walking Dead death was surprising and tragic. Before Rosita escaped the walkers who pulled her off the pipe, one of them bit her, and she knew she was dying. However, she knew that she needed to help save her friends, and she was determined to do it her way. She is then there for the final battle and helps ensure her friends and family live. After, she lets Eugene and others know she is dying, kisses her daughter Coco, and then lies down to die.

The one person who remained by her side as she passed on in The Walking Dead finale was Eugene, the one person who loved her more than anyone — even in the end as the closest of friends. Eugene tells her that he wouldn’t be the man he became if it wasn’t for her. Rosita then delivers her final line, saying “I’m glad it was you at the end” and is happy he will be the one who makes sure she won’t reanimate, and then she dies with her closest and oldest friend by her side.

The True Meaning Behind Rosita’s Final Words

Rosita and Eugene are best friends who have gone through unspeakable horrors side-by-side; their friendship is made of pure love, and this line highlights just how highly Rosita regards their friendship, even over her romantic love for Gabriel. No one — including Eugene — expected him to outlive Rosita and their little group of survivors, but in the end, it was Eugene who lived to see happiness after the pain the apocalypse brought. The line also serves to shift the balance in their relationship, where Eugene was the one to support Rosita for once when she needed his strength the most.

The choice to kill Rosita in the Walking Dead series finale ending was one of the greatest gut punches the final episode could’ve delivered. Rosita is one of the characters who have lasted the longest, and fans have come to know and love her over the years. On top of it making sense narratively, Christian Serratos requested that Rosita not survive. She said that she was very proud of Rosita in The Walking Dead finale and said it was such a good moment for her character (via Entertainment Weekly):

I didn’t want to survive the showI thought the show needed a really emotional ending. I thought that it made the happy ending that we had so much stronger to kind of have our hearts broken one last time.”

Rosita’s story in the final Walking Dead episode is a roller coaster; watching her go down beneath a sea of Walkers, and break through, powered only by her maternal love for Coco, provided a moment of hope, only for hearts to break again when it’s revealed all isn’t as it seems. To watch Rosita savor the final moments of everything she’s worked to build and died to protect is bittersweet, but the scene was a true testament to Rosita’s character and her friendship with Eugene in The Walking Dead.
