The implication I got was that Agatha was giving Rio bodies in a sort of unspoken deal to keep Nicky alive–hence her coming and taking him when Nicky backed out. Going a step further, maybe Rio knew that Nicky was no longer going to go along with the plan after this one time that he refused, so he no longer served her needs.
The idea there would be that Agatha can’t face him because of the deal she made him an unwitting party to. Based on his nature and how Agatha described him, it seems like if he had known why they were out killing witches constantly (trading their entire lives for an extension of his own), he would not approve.
Hm, but imo that is not really shown on screen. We only see Rio telling Agatha at birth “I can give you some time, nothing more” and then show up again to take him when he clearly fell ill.
