Agatha All Along Episode 8 & 9 BREAKDOWN - Spoilers! Easter Eggs! Ending Explained!

The 'road' being a lure and a trap for ambitious/desperate witches was such a brutal twist.

25:25 "Sometimes... boys die." isn't an excuse, it's a tragic fact of life. Billy might have been able to save that boy if he had actively tried, but that boy was clearly going to drown either way if he hadn't been looking for a fitting body for Tommy.

This is what I was thinking too

[@mariaelenagarciamolero1437]

I get what you're trying to say but the way I see it is that it is a fact of life but she's using to justify what he's doing/done, that's why it is an excuse. For example, you go on a killing spree and you answer why does it matter people die every day, I know I went too extreme but it was the best example it came to me at the moment

[@GiveonKing]

@@mariaelenagarciamolero1437 It’s not the same because Billie didn’t cause what happened to Tommy’s host

I love that agatha kept calling billy "pet" the first part of the series and at the end she became Billy's familiar! following him around wherever he goes! so glaaaaaddd that she's still here!

[@anaalicia5029]

I like Agatha. But her dying at the end of episode 8 and then the backstory in 9 -her coming back, in all her consciousness, as a ghost and fine with it kind of retroactively made the last episodes’ stakes kind of meaningless. She’s not gone.

[@DeeDeeDeeeee]

@@anaalicia5029kinda, but Agatha has always been more of a spectral guide anyways so

[@anaalicia5029]

@DeeDeeDeeeee yes, but I didn’t know that! I used to read other comics. Pure as a story on its own her _not_ coming back after the backstory would’ve been a brave end, with just Jen and Wiccan left. With the comics in mind I’m sure it’s very different and I like her staying.

[@shippendales8543]

​​@@anaalicia5029the stakes where still there because we all expected Agatha to pull something to stick around and she did as a ghost I don't think she will remain a ghost forever though The ending is perfect because it flips their dynamic on its head Billy is now the witch and Agatha the familiar I think this show also highlighted she is a great teacher too And Wiccan and Franklin share reality warping powers It's the best DPLUS ending next to Loki season 2 because it's resolution and potential longterm ramifications

[@shippendales8543]

​@@anaalicia5029I feel Agatha might have a bigger role as a supporting Character since the Fantastic four are coming So she will most likely take care of Franklin I think this show explains why whe would do that , to likely make up for her mistakes with Nick by being a better Nanny

[@gaymeronabudget]

I don't think Billy killed that boy. I think the boy was going to die. I think the boy was reasllly... just about to die and that's that. I cried really hard at that moment. Really did. Fantastic writing.

[@itsashbabes8931]

Yes and he retroactively put the soul in the body too. So it’s already been three years for him.

[@kimisawa2001]

It's because they missed a day of sacrificing other witches souls to Death. So time ran out for Nicky😢

[@BlackPantherCardi]

Agatha confirmed it cause “she couldn’t safe her own son”

[@AJLikesGamesAlot]

Thats up for debate considering Billy said "they pushed him in as a prank" and the we literally see them holding the boy under water and billy has no idea how to control his powers and they only act off subconscious wants. I.e. the witches round. Its a safe bet to assume he also inadvertently killed the boy just like he inadvertently killed Sharron, Alice, and Lilia.

[@DrockDrack]

I think the point of Agatha growing the flower was to show her that she isn’t just a bringer of death. She can also bring forth life.

[@buciallstar]

Also the line "a flower turned yellow to purple?!" Does Grace not know what a dandelion is?

[@BlackPantherCardi]

YES

[@zenithquasar9623]

She did that with by creating Nicholas first.

[@DrockDrack]

@ Yup. Which I think is why it was so meaningful to her.

[@mildhoof]

They never promised Wanda, people disappointed not to see her only really have themselves to blame

[@dafttool]

exactly

[@hrc66]

At least a hint of red energy in a post-credit scene would have been nice :(

[@jdouat7536]

Like they need to pick up a comic, the brothers find eachother first THENNNNNN they find Wanda

[@kewlztertc5386]

I think there was some significance to the first time Nicholas refused to gather the witches, he dies. Agatha said they slaughter them to survive, maybe this was to appease Death and keep her at bay.

[@Stephie010302]

That’s a really interesting observation tbh

[@SW-lx3lu]

It kept Death distracted and busy so there was never time. 😢

[@romelade9947]

I thought agatha was powering up so she can face death when she appears again and fight for nicholas

[@ICU1337]

The "time" was other peoples time. I'm pretty sure Agatha was killing other witches, in the beginning anyways, to take their time to give to Death, so that Death wouldnt take her son. You'll notice when Nick was born he was immediately sick. Agatha killed a coven and then Nick was immediately better. Nick refused to kill that last coven, became sick, and died. It all seemed pretty obvious to me 🤷🏽‍♂

[@lucaleone4331]

I actually thought that was the obvious interpretation. Rio gave nicholas time, agatha gave rio bodies

[@mariaelenagarciamolero1437]

In the end, Rio is not really the villain, she's just Death trying to keep balance, and she gave Agatha the gift of time. She gave Agatha more time with Nick and to me not giving her a precise timeline was for her to appreciate every moment with him

[@Tvboy777]

Rio is the antagonist. Agatha is a villain protagonist. Billy is the deuteragonist. Rio represents the primary obstacle to both Agatha's and Billy's goals, since she specifically wants them dead. Neither Agatha nor Billy are heroes.

[@SilverScale.]

Dandelions are incredibly hard to kill. Their seeds go everywhere, and blowing them out is symbolic of making wishes and hope. Dandelions also feed bees and butterflies -- pollinators and symbols of working together and transformation. 😉 They're also edible (except the stem) and healing! It's a really powerful symbol on a LOT of levels, for that moment.

[@ICU1337]

They're also weeds... You know, they pretend to be a flower, take resources from the actual flowers, strangling them, killing them, and then continuing on... Kinda like Agatha 😉

[@ICU1337]

They're hard to kill because they're a weed. They take from flowers, strangle them, and kill the flowers around them. Remind you of someone 🤔💭🧙🏻‍♀🧹

They never explained how Agatha got a hold of the Darkhold. I wanted to see how Agatha and Rio met, but I understand they didn't have enough time.

[@kellytibbs3815]

Its implied they met from all the death Agatha caused. So they fell in love w each other Their relationship is a metaphorical one

[@arianotes6238]

It's better that they didn't try to include that here when they're running out of time because I need their back story to be handled with care and not rush. So hopefully they do that in the future because both Agatha and Rio are still running around the MCU so their backstory getting explored is not off the table yet.

[@dianalam6198]

I wanted to know why Agatha is like that. Why does she kills witches?? Is she evil? Was there another motive?? Soooo many questions

[@romelade9947]

​@@dianalam6198my takeaway was that she was powering up so she could face rio to defend nicholas when she appears again

[@erikstevenson8508]

@@arianotes6238 It seems wildly unlikely that we'll get more Agatha/Rio backstory, they aren't going to do a spinoff show from a spinoff show that focuses on the backstory of a now-dead Agatha, if that story was going to be told it would have been in this show.

Episode 8 was pretty good. So I called it a night, figuring 9 would be a really lame wrap up and I was right.

[@mr_bobrey]

27:39 It was a dandelion, Grace. There was a scene on episode 9 where Agatha and Nicky were playing a dandelion, blowing through it as it spreads to the air. Maybe a stem stuck on Nicholas’ hair-the ones Agatha hid on her brooch.

[@nailinthefashion]

Crying over Nicky, using those tears to create new life, and save not only herself but Billy, who she now admires. Now she can heal her trauma mentoring him.

[@carlyparker4410]

I loved the idea that the Witches Road didn’t give any of the final witches what they wanted, but that the witches themselves fulfilled each others goals. Jennifer wanted to be unbound, and Agatha revealed herself to her so Jen was able to get back what she wanted. Billy wanted Tommy back and Agatha helped him do it. Then in turn, Billy powered up Agatha which is what she wanted at the end of the road. Even though Agatha dies, all 3 of the final witches gave each other what the other was seeking. It was really beautiful, and shows the power and love of being in a Coven.

[@sandal_thong]

Just like we didn't see Wanda's body, we haven't seen Tommy come back, so maybe he did, maybe he didn't. Wanda created both of them and somehow alternative-Wanda kept them alive in another dimension (unless our Wanda's boys were copies).

[@HaleyRadiant]

Ah yeah! I like how that feels very much like the Wizard of Oz, like they had what they needed all along 🥹

[@armandogarciaaizaga4728]

And both Lilia and Alice also got what they wanted, they did die but Alice got to break her curse and Lilia accepted her magic and opened herself to a coven again. I think if it wasn't for external factors (Agathta/Salem Seven) Billy's road could've granted all their wishes, everyone's but Agatha's.

[@davetheunicorn6720]

Wow. This has been the best MCU series for me. I laughed, I screamed, I cried, but most importantly: I couldn't wait for the next episode to come out. Chef's kiss to everything. I am more than happy.

Yep. I have waited 9 years. It's the EXACT opposite of the first couple of phases.....

[@trevorsaurusUtube]

Do we think… Agatha only really started draining witches after Nick was born to build on powers, as a way to fend off Rio and other threats? To keep him alive. And then after his death, did Agatha go hunting for more power, for the dark hold and then even track down Wanda to try and get power to bring Nick back? (Loved this show, so excited for Wiccan!)

[@mastaovdafist3551]

I don't personally believe she wanted Nick back since she was so afraid to face him in death. I think she got the Darkhold to keep Death away from her in general.

[@nailinthefashion]

​@@mastaovdafist3551i think that's exactly why she didn't want to face him. She failed him not once in life, but twice, since she found someone who could help him centuries too late. So NOW she doesn't care about getting him back-- she's happy with Billy. But 100% if she had her way in WandaVision that rabbit would have been sacrificed.

[@mastaovdafist3551]

@@nailinthefashion exactly. The Darkhold already kept her safe from Death, but after coming across Wanda, it'd make sense if anything happened to the book, Wanda's reality warping abilities would be a handy substitute.

[@nailinthefashion]

@mastaovdafist3551 and combining them, perhaps she could have given both mothers what they wanted. But Wanda chose chaos, chose grief, chose to trap Agatha instead of getting mentored. I wonder if they'll adapt the recent Witches Road comix later, as Agatha was a spirit and helped Wanda out of a new hex in them. It could work as an alternative tie in to Secret Wars. She's in a new hex married to Doom, and so Billy enlists the help of everyone, including mutants to help stop it.

[@asimplewanderer6101]

Well, we see Agatha draining witches in WandaVision when she was young. And she did it with ease and no remorse, implying she will do it again. So no, she killed even before her son being born.

[@rodrilover17]

I don’t think she was making an excuse about the boy dying. Especially because she said this after Billy left, that boy was already going to pass and that’s why Billy could do the transfer, is what I thought.

Yes definitely, it was more of her accepting the fact that her son died and that’s how it is, people die even little boys.

[@SeanMcGuire92]

I loved the practical effect of Rio tearing a hole in the set backdrop to leave the Witch’s Road! It was so simple yet effective, and the lack of ✨pizazz✨ and the very practical nature of it felt perfectly in character. I do wish we had seen more of the Kaplan’s (even if it was just a fade out of Billy starting to tell them what happened to their William and who he really is!), though, and I really wish we had gotten a scene with Billy’s boyfriend. He had been so pivotal to Billy’s pre-Witch’s Road journey that it felt strange to have him be completely forgotten about at the journey’s end.

[@SeanMcGuire92]

Also! How did Agatha and Rio first meet (through Agatha killing witches, I’m assuming?)?! How did Rio and her fall in love?! Who was the man who was the father of Nicholas Scratch?! How did Agatha come to possess the Darkhold?!?! These are all things I would have loved to see in the finale, especially that last question. They set it up in the first trial! Jennifer tells Teen/Billy of the rumor that Agatha gave up her son for the Darkhold, and then Agatha saw a vision of it in a cradle… and yet, the show never told us how she got the Darkhold. That felt like it was one of the answers the show was prepped to answer, but it never happened!

[@titikaka9320]

Idk it kinda bothers me that Agatha wanted to take her recent coven's magic. She warned Lilia not to blast her when they first met. Jen was bound. Sharon didn't have powers. That leaves only Alice whose magic she stole wasn't enough. Plus Lilia called her scam after she tried to goad them into attacking her and warned everyone else about it. So was she just really desperate and didn't think things through?

[@TttOnion]

Yeh really desperate as the salem 7 was after her ah

[@BlackPantherCardi]

Yes. Women do things this level of stuff in real life and act the same.

[@adrainlevy9467]

I think she didn’t think it through when recruiting Liliia. She most likely only told that to Liliia so she could recruit her, as Liliia was strongly against joining as she knows Agatha’s reputation. She most likely thought she could make Liliia mad enough to still blast her and also expected Alice to blast her. She thought she’d get two witches to give her magic. She knows Mrs Hart was not a witch and she wouldn’t have included Mrs hart if the coven wasn’t refusing to go to the road without a “green witch”. Jen was the only potions witch so she had to include her but I’m sure Agatha’s plan was just to get Liliia and Alice’s powers. But her flaw was her telling Liliia how she takes people’s powers, should have thought of a different negotiating tactic.

She had already seen the rat witch at that point and was scrambling. She thought she could get her purple back and take them on, basically

The MCU has always had a villian prooblem, but its so nice to finally see them get it right. Not only did they keep her a villian, but they gave her an arc and allowed her to continue in the MCU. im very happy

[@teeeeeeeee]

I’m so excited for the new route the MCU is headed. I can surely tell it’s a good direction we’re heading in. And I love the content Grace! I was so looking forward to this one.

The flower Agatha is watering is a dandelion ! In it's cycle of life this flower blooms as a yellow one and then the petals turns white/blue by becoming seeds that fly away in the wind to form new flowers. It is with that seed that Agatha is gardening this little flower. So it could reprennent the rebirth of Agatha with the white and blue colors of her new ghost outfit, and the seed in the wind could represent Tommy, who is out there and in the need of his brother : the future of the Maximoff's family and the new purpose of Agatha 🦋

"Sometimes the line between mercy and cruelty can be thin" - something I heard from a netflix show

It’s kinda weird that Rio sorta just… disappears by the end of the show. I thought we were gonna learn more about death and maybe get a lesson or two about life out of her but I guess not?

[@1241Aprilstone]

I wish she had more of a proper exit. I’m okay with Rio having surrounding mysteries around her as she is death, but yeah the tone shift from grand boss battle to nowhere to be seen is a bit jarring.

[@jacobbjake]

this show was absolutely amazing and agatha’s white hair and ghost outfit was gorgeous ❤

[@katiehobbs96]

I loved this series a lot more than I thought I would. I love Wandavision a lot and this is right up their with the quality and emotion. The acting from all of them left me speechless.

[@greenguy369]

The ending didn't quite land for me personally. (Nothing to do with Wanda. Never expected her.) It felt too much like the end/prologue to a Wiccan show and very little like a satisfying conclusion to this chapter of Agatha's life. And I LOVE Wiccan. I think Joe Locke did a wonderful job. I just wanted... I don't know... More from the Agatha story at the end. Ultimately, I think the Rio/Death stuff fell flat for me at the end. It was just so straight forward... "What you saw on the tin four episodes ago is exactly all there is. But now you get to see it play out." I wish the Nicholas Scratch stuff wasn't telegraphed so hard so that it maybe would have felt like a long awaited revelation instead of an "Yes. Obviously that's what happened. You already told me. What? Nicholas wrote the ballad? That's cute. Anything else?" I kept waiting for Nicholas to accidentally open the road. But turns out...that was impossible.

[@hixdus]

I agree!!! Big Wiccan fan, Big Wanda fan here also… Glad to see them here even though I wasn’t big on Joe Locke as Wiccan. You nailed it. Would have loved to have had more interaction with Agatha, through the series and especially in the final. Kathryn Hahn did an amazing job. Nicholas was confusing to me and I think I ended the show with more questions than answers… other than Wiccans. It was the build up of who he was, only to find out that they didn’t carry out it out to full potential - and Kathryn Hahn delivered where ever she was present. Rio Vidale was quite grand as well. I do have to say my favorite of all the characters was Agatha (wish there more of her) and Lilia was so complex, but such an enjoyable character!

[@joellegillespie85]

This is how I feel. Agatha’s arc still feels incomplete to me even though this was supposed to be her show. Like I feel like her characterization came at the expense of setting up Billy’s future in the MCU, even though a lot of Billy’s story could be worked out in future marvel projects.

[@1241Aprilstone]

Omg you put into words how I feel. Thank you. I honestly could have done without the marvel formula of big boss battle at the end with tie into a future project cuz I personally enjoyed the self contained story more. This is why I loved episode 4& 7 the most cuz they focused so much on Alice and Lilia. I was hoping the ending would do the same for exploring Agatha. Yes, we got backstory on Nicholas, but it felt like I wanted more. Agatha All Along is still amazing and prob the best Disney+ Marvel series for me besides X-men’ 97 just above Wandavision. I think what I personally enjoyed about this series is the creativity of the trials themselves, the mystery, character focus, and the campiness. Those are the aspects of the series I am going to take away. This is me as someone who loves superhero’s and loved Marvel growing up. I’m not interested in the set up for Wiccan (which is why I thought Billy showing up in his suit was out of place) because this is not his show -just his debut.

[@Britishladstuff]

I don't get Grace's hate on ghost Agatha look. I think she looked absolutely fabulous

[@alex.bradford]

I am in AWE of how good this show was. We definitely need a part 3 of Wandavision in the form of a Young Avengers or Wiccan series (I know we’ll be getting Vision Quest first, but still). Joe Locke acted and looked SOOO GOOD as Billy and I can’t wait for him to return❤️💙

[@PassiveAgressive319]

Amazing😊

[@jen4532]

Vision Quest will be a kind of WandaVision 3

[@armandogarciaaizaga4728]

@@jen4532 But it's not Jac Schaeffer's, she's the one who needs to continue Billy's story.

[@kellytibbs3815]

I stayed up waiting for your review , did not disappoint 🙌🏾

[@Neekoolos]

They should have ended with a title card, "It was... Billy All Along."

[@Ninasanz83]

Ugh no, they already hijacked enough of Agatha’s show for him.

[@_KungFuBarbie_]

oh ABSOLUTELY NOT

[@WrytnFool]

I LOVED this series! I didn't really expect Wanda to show up, so her actually NOT showing up wasn't a disappointment. Every episode was really, really good.

[@SuperTV1935]

Day after the finale and I still can’t believe The Witches’ Road isn’t real

[@kylewoosley8440]

Agatha is easily a top 3 Disney+ show.

[@simmerdowncookie]

I really liked the show, but i thought the finale fell kind of flat. Aubrey acting as death was over the top, and the ghost was cartoonish, but i get that it's from the comics. The road being a con is amazing though!

[@bernarddecloedt2315]

Such an excellent show worth binge watching and rewatching all over again! Thank you, Grace for such insightful reviews!:)

[@Cdubbs020]

WHAT A FINALE!! Wiccan looked amazing and I liked that they kept Agatha a villain…well at least an anti-hero

[@brentmaxey20100]

I made it. I stayed fell asleep but so glad I’m still awake. Thanks for the breakdown Grace👍🏻❤️

[@brentmaxey20100]

I dozed off again. Thank you for staying up so late to get this to your fans. I loved this show. I just wish that Agatha & Rio’s relationship would’ve had the gaps filled in. I’m so excited that Agatha is now comics accurate, but with Wiccan❤️! And excited to see more of Wiccan, Agatha, & Wiccan. Such an amazing charter for the MCU! Really hope people binge this for Halloween 🎃 👻

[@EmmyNoble]

27:40 The flower is a dandelion! In a way it symbolizes life/death because when it dies its seeds blow off into the wind so new dandelions can plant/grow. Kinda like Billy’s soul!

[@abhikmoj5853]

6:00 Respectfully, *that* is not a swimmer's build, that is a borderline enervated-build.

[@TimDaco]

Awesome Video Grace!!! I LOVED THESE EPISODES SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!! A Perfect Ending to This Amazing Show!!! Not necessarily The Ending I expected, but in The Best Possible Way. They stuck the landing unlike a lot of other MCU Shows. Aubrey Plaza was So Great as Death She's Having So Much Fun Playing This Character and I Hope we see Her again in The MCU Absolute Perfect Casting. And it was Awesome to see Billy Finally get His Full Comic Accurate Wiccan Costume!!! Agatha sacrificing Herself to Save Billy was a Beautiful Ending for Her Character while also leaving the door open for her to Return as a Ghost which I thought was Perfect. And even though I wish we had gotten to see Flashbacks to before Agatha killed Her Coven and how She Met Rio and how Their Relationship began, I still Loved getting to see the Backstory of Agatha and Nicky it was So Sad when He died R.I.P. 😭 And I Loved how they Set up Billy and Agatha to go find Tommy at The End! This Show was Absolutely Phenomenal it Ended up being One of The Best MCU Shows Ever and I Really Hope Marvel makes more Shows like This. Thank You, Jac Schaeffer and Everyone involved for giving us This Incredible Show!!!

[@Peachgorillafit]

Good set up for the next part of the adventure. I thought overall the show was a good addition to the MCU and probably in the top 5 of these Disney+ shows. Worth the watch

[@ryanwk93]

Loved this show so much! Thanks for your work Grace, it’s been so fun! 💙 Btw THIS is your look! Amazing 🩵

[@erikstevenson8508]

I liked the show overall but was pretty underwhelmed by the finale. Not really a fan of the Road being something that Billy created, and thought the backstory with Agatha was pretty mid. Wanted to see more of her and Rio's history, as they're the characters I found most engaging when on screen together. Why was Agatha so determined to kill so many witches? Ostensibly for 'power' but what did she use that for? IDK just overall thought that by the end most of the characters were marginally less interesting than they were at the series premiere.

[@yashkaushik6540]

YES. Episode 7 was the best... don't like the idea that the witches road wasn't real. The flashback with Agatha and her son really dragged.I find it really hard to root for these characters knowing they've done such terrible things. Plus why do we not get more payoffs.. so much build up leading to nothing.. Tommy should've been in the finale.

[@1241Aprilstone]

@@yashkaushik6540 I agree there were some things built up that needed more of a payoff for me to be satisfied like someone else mentioned that Billy didn’t reconcile with his identity in the end. I think some of the unanswered questions and plot points were left as is to be explored in future marvel projects tbh. Like Billy with his ongoing internal struggles with identity and now with guilt over his powers killing three innocents. Agatha maybe could be expanded on in the future in her mentorship role but this was the series and the time to go all in to explain Agatha’s whole lifestory (first encounter with Rio, their love story, and stronger connection between Agatha and Salem 7). The emotional build up of Jen being bound only for her to whoosh and exit stage left happened all too fast for me. I wanted Jen to be the one that bound herself as that was more compelling to me rather than everything leading back to Agatha. Imo, Agatha and Billy did not need to be behind everything for the finale to be wrapped up nicely.

[@dante6985]

To answer your question: I'm speculating, but not (just) for power, she didn't want to face Nick in the afterlife. So she kept having to take lives for Rio to keep Nick alive. Once he got a clue of that he asked her to stop, and he passed. So at that point, she could either stop taking lives and die (and face him) or keep going. She tells Billy at the end she's afraid to face her son (probably to be accountable for all the daughters she took). As she says, dying was a "calculated risk". She didn't know what would happen, but to her (probable) relief she was a ghost and doesn't have to face her son yet.

[@erikstevenson8508]

@@1241Aprilstone Yep agree with your conclusions. Maybe the plan theoretically was to provide more backstory and wrap up threads in future shows/movies, but if so, it's a bad one. There are SO many projects we already know about in the MCU, and so many plot points that are already set up to continue (some already from years ago), that setting up a spin off of a spin off show to tell more backstory of the now-dead Agatha outside of the show called Agatha All Along would be just insane decision making.

[@robw6592]

On another note. Grace, seeing you every week was such a joy and truly made this spooky season and viewing experience so much fun. I’m filled with happiness thinking back to our journey with this show. Thank you for all that you do! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sjoo8]

20:37 idk… in wandavision Agatha’s coven used blue magic. I didn’t understand why and still don’t. There was also one coven in episode 9 that used blue magic and I don’t understand that either. I think they need to clarify that.
