According to Hawke, someone approached her asking who would die in the final season. While she didn't give away a direct spoiler, her "obscure hints" were taken as gospel, leading the individual to place a massive bet that ultimately failed.
"This is not how we should be running our economy!" Hawke joked, expressing shock that fans are wagering real currency on fictional character deaths. Jimmy Fallon cringed at the story, calling it a "tough lesson to learn."
