The car accident they keep referencing had 2 bodies in it according to Agatha. Wiccan reincarnated into Billy Caplan's body during the accident and the other will later be revealed to be the reincarnation of Tommy Maximoff. The new Vision series will be about Wiccan and Vision looking for Tommy to try and put their family back together. Marvel is going to make Mephisto Agatha's father to clean up the messy storyline from the comics which is why her mother tells her she was born evil. This would make Nicolas Scratch Mephisto's grandchild whom he claimed for his own but gavce Agatha the Darkhold as 'compensation' to fill her lust for power.

I think Agatha can control it. I think she genuinely feels bad but she is an addict for magic and hasn't had a hit in years. You almost see her smirk once her mother's spirit leaves her body and she begins absorbing Alice's powers. She smirks again when using said powers after they break free of the trial before they poof out and she's confronted by Teen. Teen is definitely Wiccan/Billy Kaplan. Teen was angry and disgusted by how the coven reacted to Alice's death and rejected the entire coven I think.

I’m a bit more hesitant on the “she has no control over her power” angle, I think it risks letting her off the hook way too easily, but it’s gonna depend on how they play it if they do decide to go that route. The addiction idea seems like a smart option, but I’d rather it start with her killing her coven rather than her son, and becoming a defense mechanism that for entrenched over time, rather than something innate from birth or the darkhold. But again, it depends on how they play it

Agatha reminds me of someone I loved. They do have real illnesses that need to be treated but they are not willing to do what it takes to be healed.

I couldn't get past what the one I loved did to me.... it's how I feel about Agatha so far.

Love this take on the episode! I was thinking the same about Agatha and the death of her son - that it was tied to her loss of control. She has so many parallels with Wanda; lost her child, will do anything to get him back, hurt a lot of people in the process. I agree that Billy doesn’t know who he is yet, and like his mother, cannot control his magic when he is heart broken. I still wonder if he is the one unknowingly controlling the Road trip? I mean, the Wizard of Oz movie which this series takes a lot from, is based on Dorothy’s dream. He even talks about wanting to go home one time.

Hi. Great analysis. As to how Billy And Tommy were created in the MCU, hopefully that story is not as convoluted as in the comics. For me, Chaos and the mind Stone suffice. We will see. Agatha stated that Wanda is capable of spontaneous creation,chaos magic, (in Wandavision.) Everyone assumes that was only within the hex but I suspect that power is real and literal. She can create life out of nothing. It’s still possible that the Demiurge, or some powerful entity is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Perhaps someone told Teen to find Agatha and walk the road. Because of the lyrics, darkest hour wake thy power, I think Teen just came into his power, rather than having concealed it all the time. But only time will tell. I wonder if Wanda or the Demiurge take over when he starts welding his mind control. He might also be so overwhelmed by power that he isn’t completely in control, and this may be how he eventually comes to understand and forgive Agatha. I’m not sure the MCU would deal with the Demiurge aspect to Wiccan this early in his character arc, but they may be teasing it for a payoff way down the road. Whatever the case, we are in for a fun ride! ❤ I keep noticing that cycles of trauma and vengeance keep appearing. I suspect that cycle is what needs to be broken, like the spell Agatha was in when the series began.

My Theory: This trial didnt have some characteristics, unlike the others. 1st there was no moon phase on the trial's door. 2nd they exited the trial going upwards, instead of downwards (like with the last trials). 3rd no change in aspect ratio. I suggest that Teen is going to re-write reality (as he is able to in the comics) causing them either redo the trial or do the "real" one. It is also possible that the Salem Seven manipulated the trial, trying to trick the coven into leaving Agatha behind allowing them to take their revenge

I like your theory about addiction, but I have a different take with regard to Agatha and her mother. It is obvious this show is incredibly LGBT-centered. Teen is gay, Rio and Agatha have a romantic history, Alice and Jen admitted attraction to Rio, and Patti LuPone is a gay icon. When it comes to the dynamics between Agatha and her mother, my impression is that the intended symbolism is also LGBT-related. I don't think for a second that Agatha is evil or that she intentionally killed Alice. The creator of "Agatha All Along" said Agatha is essentially a drag queen. Therefore, her meanness, self-centeredness, and lack of empathy is largely performative. I think it is the armor she wears, because she has been hurt so much for CENTURIES; even by her own mother. Agatha's mother hated her from birth over her PERCEPTION of Agatha being evil. Instead of trying to understand her, she would rather kill her; and tried. Rio has been in love with Agatha for a long time and, as much as she claims to want to kill or torture Agatha herself, she stiffened her back and was ready to go toe to toe with Agatha's mom. Rio tried explaining to the coven multiple times how abusive Agatha's mother was to her. This storyline is tragically emblematic of the LGBT experience for many kids; being hated by a parent for something you can't control.

@@ozymondiasthehub5925The struggles of addiction and lack of empathy and understanding for addicts would be better illustrated by the current dynamics between Agatha and Teen (and Agatha and the coven). The reason I think my explanation is better suited for the dynamics between Agatha and her mom is because her mom specifically stated that Agatha was evil from birth and that she should have killed her as soon as Agatha left her body. If you want to break this down to the ridiculous, LGBT tendencies are often spotted by parents at younger ages than those with addiction issues. Parents of addicts generally respond in a much more supportive manner than anti-LGBT parents of LGBT kids. In fact, many parents will nearly kill themselves trying to save their kids from addiction. The opposite is true of anti-LGBT parents of LGBT kids.
@sladestumbo4117Ай бұрын
Queer kids are still denied love and nurturing and labeled as evil. So I can certainly see the parallels. They have also been characterized as predatory. (More in the case of men.)

Another thing I noticed is that there are 2 types of terrain - (1) solid & (2) quicksand. Now I’m wondering: was Samantha buried “on the road”? And why didn’t they just use the quick & easy way of burying Samantha and Alice, by letting their bodies sink into the quicksand that’s “off of the road”? Why did just yelling “Nicholas Scratch” open the escape hatch like magic words (“ab-bra-ka-dab-bra” or “open sesame”)?! I didn’t think anything got accomplished in this trial, so my theory is that they are still in the trial.
