Apparently they used the serum after Becca's death (and also recovered the Flame). Going by Becca's screams ("With my serum, you don't have to live in the bunker anymore!") and the cult members using hazmat suits, they didn't use the serum before killing Becca.

Maybe there was a coup within the cult. Maybe Cadogan understood the ability of the serum & Flame but saw Becca as competition for leadership (mirrors Blodreina vs Heda). Maybe part of the cult's beliefs included a messiah coming from the heavens, delivering salvation, and then dying for the people. Or some other theory.

I'm not sure how much time the show can spend on events of a hundred years ago, when they have to focus on the events of the present and also events of the six year time skip, but I'd love to know more.
