In the latest episode of Agatha All Along, the witches of the coven are facing yet another challenge on their dangerous journey along the Witches’ Road. The tension has increased after the tragic loss of Sharon, also known as Mrs. Hart, played by Debra Jo Rupp. The story becomes more intense as the stakes get higher, with the Salem Seven making their way onto the Witches’ Road. Their aim? To find the Green Witch.
They summon Rio Vidal, portrayed by Aubrey Plaza, but in doing so, they leave the door open for the Seven to enter. The episode raises the question: Will Agatha Harkness, played by Kathryn Hahn, and her group—Teen (Joe Locke), Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata), Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn), and Lilia Calderu (Patti LuPone)—survive this trial? And what deeper connections to Marvel’s lore will be revealed as the coven struggles to stay alive?
The episode opens with a flashback from WandaVision, revisiting Agatha and her Salem coven. In the flashback, we remember that Agatha was tied to a post by her coven, and they were trying to kill her. However, Agatha has a unique power: she can absorb the magic of witches who try to attack her, turning it against them. This is how she killed those witches in WandaVision. Evanora Harkness, Agatha’s mother, played by Kate Forbes, returns as a ghost in this episode.
Her spirit speaks to Agatha, declaring that she deserves a severe punishment. Agatha responds, saying, “I can be good,” echoing one of her famous lines from WandaVision. She had said the same words to her mother before the coven attempted to execute her. This moment hints at a deeper connection between Agatha and her past.
We also discover that the Salem Seven are not random enemies but are, in fact, the children of the witches Agatha killed. Agatha had spared their lives when she killed their parents, and now, as adults, they have returned, wild and vengeful, to seek revenge on Agatha. This emotional connection between Agatha and the Salem Seven adds layers to the conflict and heightens the stakes of the story.
The episode continues to draw on WandaVision’s mix of references to real-world media. Each trial on the Witches’ Road has had its share of pop culture nods, and this episode is no different. The coven enters a new house, and as they step inside, their appearances immediately transform into something straight out of the 1980s horror genre.
This transformation brings back memories of classic horror films like Friday the 13th and The Evil Dead. The group of characters, trapped in a secluded cabin, is tormented by dark, supernatural forces. There’s even a nod to 1970s horror, as Agatha’s demonic possession in this episode reminds us of The Exorcist and its terrifying visuals. The showrunners clearly enjoy paying homage to these horror classics, making the episode feel both familiar and eerie for viewers who know the references.
As the episode progresses, it becomes harder to dismiss the theory that Rio Vidal could be Death herself. From the moment she is introduced, Rio appears to have a deep hatred for Agatha. In Episode 4, there’s a moment when Agatha believes Teen is dying, and she pleads softly with Rio, saying, “Don’t.” It almost feels as though Agatha is begging Death to spare Teen’s life.
In this episode, this idea becomes more concrete when the coven uses an Ouija board to communicate with the spirit world. As they spell out a word, the letters “D-E-A-T-H” appear. Rio laughs loudly when she sees this, reinforcing the idea that she might represent Death itself.
We also get to know more about Lilia Calderu, who is an interesting character in the coven. As a 450-year-old witch with the power of divination, Lilia often appears spacey and disconnected, but this is because she is in tune with premonitions about time and fate.
In previous episodes, Lilia has had moments where she shouts out random phrases, which seem meaningless at first. For instance, she once said, “Alice, don’t—” but didn’t finish the sentence. At another time, she screamed, “Try to save Agatha!” These moments seemed odd at the time, but when we look at them together, it seems like Lilia might have had a premonition. She might have been trying to warn Alice about what was going to happen to her.
Alice’s power is drained when she tries to save Agatha by using her magic to banish Agatha’s mother’s ghost. In the process, Agatha absorbs Alice’s power, killing her. Lilia’s warning—“Alice, don’t try to save Agatha!”—might have been a prediction of this tragic moment. The episode leaves us wondering whether Lilia’s scattered thoughts are actually clues about what’s to come, hidden beneath the surface of her seemingly random outbursts.
A key moment in this episode happens when Agatha hears Teen mention the name Nicholas Scratch. This is important for several reasons. First, it confirms for the audience that Agatha’s son, Nicholas, is dead. He communicates with Teen through the Ouija board, which prompts Teen to say his name aloud. This breaks Agatha out of her attack on Alice, giving her a moment of realization.
The scene also suggests that Teen may not be Agatha’s son after all. Nicholas Scratch’s voice is heard calling out to his mother, and the fact that Teen can say his name, despite being under a spell that prevents him from speaking his own, hints that Teen is someone else entirely.
This leads to a big reveal at the end of the episode, confirming a long-standing fan theory. We learn that Teen is actually Wiccan, also known as Billy Kaplan or Billy Maximoff, the son of Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen. The episode leaves many questions unanswered, though. Who placed the sigil on Teen that prevents him from revealing his true identity?
Did Teen always know who he was, or was he kept in the dark for some reason? When Agatha confronts him, he uses his powers to skillfully control Jennifer and Lilia, forcing them to push Agatha into a pit of magical energy. This shows that Teen has significant control over his abilities, which could mean that he has been pretending all along.
The reveal that Joe Locke’s character is Wiccan adds another layer of complexity to the story. We’re left wondering how Billy exists in this universe and what his real backstory is. In previous episodes, we’ve heard Teen talk about his childhood in Eastview, his parents, and his boyfriend. But now we know that much of what he said might have been false or misleading.
Who placed the spell on him, and why? Was it Wanda herself, trying to protect her son, or could someone else have been responsible? These questions create suspense for the next episode, keeping viewers on edge as they wait to see how this storyline unfolds.
Agatha’s journey in Agatha All Along is becoming more complex with each episode. Her power continues to grow, but with it comes the risk of losing those close to her. The Salem Seven are closing in, and the dangers of the Witches’ Road seem never-ending.
As Agatha faces the consequences of her past actions, we’re left to wonder how much more she can endure and what other secrets will be revealed about her history and connections to the Marvel universe.
The latest episode of Agatha All Along intensifies the ongoing story, bringing more depth to Agatha Harkness’s character while introducing shocking twists about those around her. The revelation that Teen is actually Wiccan, the son of Wanda Maximoff, dramatically alters the narrative.
It forces us to question how much of Teen’s journey has been real and whether he’s been playing a larger game all along. The eerie presence of Rio Vidal, potentially representing Death, further complicates matters, leaving viewers to speculate about her true intentions and role in the storyline.
The tension between Agatha and the Salem Seven builds as the witches’ thirst for vengeance puts Agatha in more danger than ever before. With every trial along the Witches’ Road, Agatha is forced to confront her past, her choices, and the consequences of her actions.
Her powers, while formidable, come at a cost, as seen in her unintentional killing of Alice Wu-Gulliver. This moment highlights the dark, unpredictable nature of magic in the show and the constant threat of betrayal and loss among the coven members.
As the mysteries surrounding Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch, and the coven deepen, the episode leaves us eagerly anticipating what’s to come. With Agatha facing enemies from both her past and present, her journey seems far from over.
The next episodes promise more revelations about her connection to the broader Marvel universe and the ultimate fate of the witches who have followed her. Will Agatha be able to defeat her enemies and survive the trials ahead, or will her past continue to haunt her, leading to even greater sacrifices? The stakes have never been higher for Agatha and her coven, and fans can expect more thrills in the episodes to come.
