Dead as a doornail. She was driven completely insane at that point and the empress felt it was time to end her suffering.

I'm pretty sure Kokachin/Nurguey(sp?) was already on her way to committing suicide, and Chabi just helped her stay down. I honestly don't think that Empress Chabi could do it out of anything but compassion, at that point. She had grown to love Kokachin as a daughter and kindred spirit (Chabi was also common, so Kaidu's mother mentioned, if I recall, so she didn't care that Kokachin was a fraud... she cared about her character). I loved their interactions, this season. Joan Chen's Chabi steals the limelight, on this show.

That said, I absolutely hate that they killed her off. You'd think that if Chabi knew about the possibility of pregnancy-induced psychosis, she'd also know about the much more common post-partum depression. Even with all of the things Kokachin had been put through, she deserved a chance to clear her head of all of those hormonal changes, and see if she really was too broken to continue living.

And Marco is off the hook since he came back and saved The Khan. Assuming there is another season, I'm sure Kublai will be hunting for Khutulun.

YES! I hated it too. (When I saw her stepping into the water with her long flowing robes behind her, I thought they were gonna pull an Ophelia. What actually happened was IMO just as offensive.)The entire Chabi-Kokachin relationship had the potential to be really interesting, but the writers took it into very predictable, misogynistic ground. Her schizoid hallucinations and hysteria, tied in with her pregnancy, as well as the trope of the overbearing mother-in-law was all so cliched. Of course it could only end in suicide.  And I hated that Chabi assisted in it, esp. after it felt like she was starting to sympathize with Kokachin on some level. But no, they just had to go with the dragon lady and damsel in distress stereotypes.
