This episode of Agatha all along, picks up where the last one left off, I mean duh, but quite literally, it picks up all the slack from the previous episodes and gets us up to speed with a lot of things, pun fully intended(you will see what I mean.).
Now, I have to commend marvel for showing a full Bar Mitzvah in the beginning of this episode, they did not need to do that, just like they did not need to show the partition in Ms. Marvel, but they did.
And it is not just empty cultural pandering either, this helps us relate further to William Kaplan, or who we learn later in the episode, is Billy Maximoff, or Wiccan.
Further I think I should commend them for showing this in the midst of the Israel Palestine conflict, like yes, I understand that Israel doesn't represent all Jews, regardless of which side of the conflict you fall on, I think we can agree on that, but Imagine if the crusades were happening now, and Disney chose to show some Christian or Islamic imagery, it would be controversial.
I mean, it shouldn't be, cause anyone with half a brain cell can tell that all religions should be allowed to exist and all those who practice it should be allowed to do so in peace so long as they don't harm others, regardless of the actions of a select few, but then again, experience will often tell the internet has less than half a brain cell... Collectively...
Now that I have gotten all that out of the way, let's get into what the episode actually contains.
This episode follows the previous ones in taking a single character and focusing in on them, and thus chronicles all the events of Teen getting to where he is currently from where he was three years ago, how did he find out so much about Agatha Harkness, and how does he know of the witch's road.
So it appears that it is pretty much as I said previously, William Kaplan died at the moment the Westview anomaly was shrinking and the moment Billy Maximoff lost his body, he entered the body of William Kaplan.
And right after his near death, he is then able to read everyone's mind, as Billy is now inhabiting him.
It is unclear as to exactly how much of his previous life inside the hex does Billy remember, I mean in a shocking but very welcome Cameo Ralph Bohner has to reveal a lot of what Wanda did to him, but it is once again not clear whether he already knew most of it and was just gaining a new perspective, or this was his first time learning all of it too.
One thing that is certain that it was his interaction with Ralph Bohner that told him that Agatha Harkness still lives in Westview.
Ralph Bohner, for those of you who forgot, was the resident of the house, Agatha chose, and she called him, her husband, and sent him with the power of quicksilver to fool Wanda into thinking she brought him back from the dead.
The Boyfriend of Billy Maximoff in the Comics is Hulkling, who is a Kree-Skrull Hybrid named teddy, and doesn't actually have anything to do with the Hulk.
So now that the Boyfriend has actually been cast and and is named in a similar way to Billy as Boyf, like Billy was Teen, it seems that Marvel are hiding a reveal about him as well, I mean they are setting up the young avengers right? Seems like a waste otherwise.
The reveal being that the Boyf is Teddy, the Hulkling.
Anyways, one other thing this episode does is prove the Covenstead rule, that within a three mile radius, wherever you are, there will be a collection of Witchy enough people to form a Coven, as the Witches that Billy later meets are present everywhere, Lillia, the prophecy witch, her also being the one who cast the Sigil on Billy.
Alice, her being the police officer who was first on scene during the Car crash that killed William Kaplan and brought on Billy Maximoff. And Jen, in a video.
All except Rio Vidal, who like, by this time if you haven't seen the leaks, or my previous articles, I'll spare you the spoilers this time.
I wrote on X and threads that I believe Alice an Lillia together cast the Sigil, but I got blasted for that, but I also followed the internet's one rule, the way to get the correct answer is not to ask the question, it is to post the wrong answer.
People are so eager to correct you aren't they.
Anyways I wouldn't say that even Lilly cast the Sigil, it seemed like she got taken over, possessed almost, to cast that Sigil.
And once we are done with the Flashback stuff, Wiccan finally gains enough power to just break the Sigil, and every witch with a beating hear can hear him now.
The Redaction is gone.
And what does Billy Maximoff want on the road? Why his brother Toby... I mean Tommy of course.
Thomas Shepherd, the reincarnation of Tommy Maximoff.
Also known as: Speed(now you get the Pun, or if you read my earlier articles.)
And while it is clear that Billy was able to posses this "fresh body" as Agatha calls it, because he is a witch, Speed is just a Speedster right, he isn't a witch?
Wrong.
I believe speed is a Witch, see, I don't think the Aging up thing that Billy and Tommy did in the Hex was a Hex thing, Wanda wasn't controlling it after all, I believe it was their Witchy nature coming out.
If you pause at a certain moment to internet read a certain page during this episode(I am not Pausing it at that exact point, I am sure you can figure out a better source for this, or pause the episode at the correct time yourself), you will get the information, that Witches can appear whatever age they want and choose how they Age, Idk, I could be wrong, but what is the fun in calling a Theory if there isn't the Danger of being wrong.
Now, Going by the way the episode is structured, this would be nineties horror next episode, or fifties horror, those are the only two that remain, sixties, seventies and eighties are covered, or am I counting that wrong?
Anyways, the next episode has to belong to Lilly, and that's not possible if she is dead, therefore she isn't Agatha can survive the muck, so can she, I mean yes, she was blasted by Wiccan's Magic, but big deal.
In fact, if you see the mid season trailer, you will learn that none of them are dead, not even Sharon Davis, or Alice Wu, but that is for another time.
Besides, seems like a waste to introduce all of these new characters and then just throw them to side.
So how will they come back? Well, for Lilly and Jen it is easy, for Alice and Sharon, check the toy leaks, or wait patiently for the next episode.
At least I think I am pointing you in the right direction, I don't Know, Lemme know if you find something(s).
