She came out of her state while in the coffin and is screaming Rodrick's name. She finally gets out of the coffin and starts after Rodrick. She knows that he has to die too so she tries killing him. She goes on an outrage and the house starts on fire and crumbs down. So both Rodrick and Madeline die, so then the house dies with it.
