[@ashley.taylor174]

Yes, I immediately thought about the first episode too

[@jessicawinchester158]

Love the connection of Agatha saying that she left Jen alone because what she was doing was important. When Jen was doing work in obstetrics and midwifery. Since Agatha almost lost Nicholas in childbirth, that would be very important to her because she didn't have anyone to help her

[@AVR0709]

Amazing Catch! The last sentence is missing a verb though.

[@aenea22980]

That's a great observation! Agatha did lose Nicholas at birth though, it's just that Rio chose to delay and give her more time with him.

[@sisterseverus]

That was my first thought

[@toonasag]

Haa interesting

[@jessicawinchester158]

@AVR0709 yeeeah thanks I fixed it haha

[@linl.hendric1438]

My theory is that Agatha needs to kill in order to keep Nicholas alive. That's why the day she doesn't kill the witches, Nicky dies. That is why she tells him that killing witches is the only way he'll survive. It's like a deal Rio had with Agatha in a way. To give her more time. That is why she tells Rio that the truth is too awful and that what she did to her was only take. She became a serial killer to save try to keep her son alive. She lost her humanity. And then kept killing out of spite or to gain more power to try and get Nicky back with the Darkhold.

[@drainvigor]

Heartbreaking, 😢

[@xsanguine8]

No, I think she was assbackwardly using the powers of a coven to keep him alive, she has a bit of the powers she steals for a little while before it all goes purple. So, she goes around killing Healing Witches to keep him healthy, Earth Witches for food, and Protection to keep them hidden, safe. Like she said, _her_ power can't do any of that.

[@nheilashleyestrada242]

same tots

[@ihaveakirbyobessesion2617]

Does he know

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

That is actually a sound theory. It makes sense that she was basically giving sacrificial lambs to Rio, since Death needed to claim life (as shown with what Rio said to Billy when Agatha died). And the reason why Agatha wanted Rio to not follow her again.

[@gordongraham7]

I need to rewatch the series with the knowledge we now have. For example, when Billy says "I wish Lilia was here" and then she immediately showed up, that makes much more sense.

[@StarfireKoriandr11]

@gordongraham7 in the comics he literally has the power to wish things into existence

[@nh-wq6sw]

The writing was genius honestly. The cast would state things they thought they knew to be true about the road and Billy is so impressionable and charismatic he made it true without realizing.

[@BrokenTreeProd]

I really want a Non-Superhero series based around the residents of Westview and an Insurance Company that handles Superhero claims and just a fun comedy

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

There was a brief series starring Alan Tudyk about that topic.

[@mr.awesome6360]

There are ALOT of little Billy things that made watching in hindsight amazing (just my opinion) 1) In the first trial Billy was able to give the witches nightmares because he is a mind-reader but he couldn't read Agatha's mind. The Hallucination she got came directly from Jen telling Billy she traded her son for the darkhold, Agatha was the only one to see something that wasn't true 2) The only time Billy actually got hurt by the road wasn't actually the road, it was the curse that Alice brought onto the road. 3) And Billy starting every trial.

[@Amanda-rt3bq]

Was it the curse that hurt him though? The curse tried to burn everyone else but Billy gets thrown through a window, very similar to how he’s thrown through the greenhouse when fighting Rio. I think Rio tried to kill him on the Road during Alice’s trial, but she played it off as if the curse hurt him.

[@toonasag]

Yeah, that tracks!

[@mr.awesome6360]

@@Amanda-rt3bq I think because it was a generational curse that only affected the women of Alice's family it may have been gender specific and just wanted him gone. But I also wont put it past rio to try and kill him too

@@toonasag yea i thought of the same.. or she did take all but he is able to recharge/regenerate all that power

[@calvs4557]

@@toonasag Agatha saw an opportunity with Alice and took it. Now knowingly she could stop the sucking, she intentionally sucked out Alice dry. We also see her trying to wield Alice's power outside of the trial but to no avail, she couldn't.

[@joneskat4]

I also think she never had a reason to stop. With Billy it’s different. With Alice she was vulnerable and scared with the possession by her mother. She grabbed that power like a life line and like she’s done many times before. But the look on her face when she heard “mommy stop” showed she did not intentionally kill Alice it was instinct.

[@darthvegaslastnamenotrequi5698]

First thing I thought about, when I learned that Agatha and Nick created the witches road song, was that Agatha corrected someone about the lyrics saying "coven two" and not "coven too." Meaning her and Nick walking together, a sad reaslization at the time. It'll come up on a rewatch if it hasn't already been mentioned a zillion times.

"Coven true."

[@Optimiss93]

Episode 8 is my favorite episode of the whole series. My favorite scene of the whole show was Agatha guiding Billy to recreate and find a body for Tommy’s soul. The way Agatha was talking and Guiding Billy. Everytime Billy became scared or doubtful, She remained and responded in such an optimistic, firm, realistic, humous manner. I loved and rewatched the scene so many times before moving on. Kathryn Hahn is so phenomenal.

[@nailinthefashion]

and then her last remark about sometimes boys just die. Jac stabbed my heart, twisted it, pulled out the blade and squeezed a fresh lemon in there. Garnished with flaky sea salt, too. I'm so grateful. It is by far my fave as well.

[@toonasag]

That was a great scene!

[@Jumpoable]

Joe Locke as well. Phenomenal acting. It's just them sitting in a barren room on the floor.

[@shortvid404]

[@Lillian.Gao.]

Same same!!

[@cel.2263]

loved how she said it with a dig at Wanda. "unlike your mother, you actually created something useful with your magic". in WandaVision, she complained that Wanda was wasting her magic making breakfast for dinner.

[@toonasag]

[@TheJackedOLantern]

@@cel.2263 True, they both created pocket dimensions, only Wanda turned the "pocket" inside out and spread it into the physical world accidentally. At least Billy made a door so that everything in his hex is contained within it. Although woe to those who enter it willingly.

[@JordiVanderwaal]

6:30 I think you're the first to point out that Agatha's theatrics is her defense mechanism. I mean, it's not that subtle (though if you're just enjoying the show and Agatha being chaotic, you may even miss a few times when she's being theatrical), but no other channels have mentioned this in such an explicit way. And it's one of the many nuances why I love Agatha All Along so much.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

The revelation that Billy (unknowingly) created the Witches Road is both totally creative and hilarious in context. It's creative because it's not often that a studio can take this approach in any film or series by playing with its audience by dangling what is and isn't real because something like that has to be earned. However, Marvel has earned that reputation with its audience, and it paid off here, I never once suspected that Billy was the originator of the road the entire time. And what makes this funny is that Agatha was lying the entire time during the series because she only acted like she knew what she was doing despite claiming to have experience from walking the Road prior.

[@blairhoughton7918]

Wanda wasn't fully aware of her hex either. More like his mother than he thinks indeed.

[@beeurd]

It was so good. I had doubts earlier in the series that she had actually walked the road, but the reveal that she literally couldn't have because it wasn't real was just perfect.

[@blairhoughton7918]

​@@beeurdThe revelation that Nick and she wrote the song though... That's still sinking in.

[@francofranco9815]

With all the new concepts they introduced, I didn’t actually like the fact that Billy made The Road. I think having to wonder whether The Road is real or Billy’s conjuring made the show interesting but it being actually conjured by Billy is somewhat anticlimactic. It removed all the stakes for Billy because he would’ve just willed himself to survive.

[@KatR264]

So, about Jen. I thought Agatha was acting. It seemed that she needed billy to believe she was the one that bound Jen and when Jen started the ritual it worked because Billy believed it so the road gave her powers back. That's why she dissappear when she is unbound and why Agatha tells Billy that he actually saved someone. Plus it would also fit with Lilia saying she might be someone unwilling to use her powers (instead of just bound) when reading the tarot card.

[@Jumpoable]

Hmmm interesting theory. Yeah Agatha was "acting" very unnatural there.

Jen (who fell into a Birthing/Labor pose as her Magick flooded back) "Got Her Pink Back", as someone in a Comments Section pointed out, that's a term used to describe Women's Journeys to Regain Themselves after giving birth. This was paraphrased by Agatha when she told Rio she needed to "Get Her Purple Back" before Battling.

Salute MARVEL.

[@adi_ve1]

It can definitely be both. In the comics (e.g. young avengers 2014) Billy’s powers are quite different from Wanda’s. He is capable of creating entire dimensions and worlds that are real physical places. So I personally believe that the road is both a manifestation of Billy’s subconscious and a genuine physical place in spacetime away from earth.

[@KatR264]

This feels like a very real pocket dimension to me, it certainly convinced an inter-generational curse demon, killed the Salem Seven when Lillia flipped the card, and served as a location real enough for Death herself to be summoned to it. Also, Wanda’s hex had an electromagnetic border, but Mrs Davis walked on to the Witches Road with zero difficulty.

[@nailinthefashion]

be patient for Wanda's movie then. We'll see the road and Agatha again, ferrrrr surrrrrrre

[@MikeStortz]

If the Road did exist prior to Billy creating it, there would have to be a fairly powerful entity running the place that could read the minds of the participants and create the appropriate trials. Who would that be and why would they be doing that?

[@teehlfx5238]

If the road now becomes a thing because Billy created it and witches can interact with it seperate from him that would be neat. And might cull some of that disappointment I feel that the road wasn’t initially real.

For one, Agatha killed the other witches when she was attacked by them, Alice didn't attack her, she saved her. So Agatha had no argument to rectefy her action (I have to kill to survive). The other part is that she never had to face the rest of er coven after she killed, I guess.

[@amirreza2612]

I wish we could see more of a backstory between Agatha and Jen, instead of just hearing it. And I also wanted to see more of Agatha and Rio. I think they kinda rushed that fight and Agatha's good and evil side, they could've get her to say that she didn't get the chance to fight for her own son but now she has the chance to fight for Billy; that would make more sense than Agatha randomly changing her decision. But anyway kudos to Jac Schaeffer and her team for this incredible story and to the cast. Such a great experience.

The saying is "everything BUT the kitchen sink."

@@RandyMarsh0301 you are right about the care less thing. I disagree still about the kitchen sink. They are two separate sayings. The "including the kitchen sink" is usually made as a joke. Purposefully different than the original "but the sink". I guess maybe it's a trope rather than a saying? Some people probably do get confused about the two.

[@RandyMarsh0301]

@@Cillana I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

2:10 Honestly I think there is 1 crown for each color of magic. I think the crowns can magically identify who is the strongest user of which color of magic. There also seems to be 2 phases of each magic crown. For Wanda it started off as a crown made of light, and then progressed to a solid crown. I think the light crowns are a sort of magical indication that they're nearly the strongest, if that makes sense. Kind of like a prestige system in a video game. Evanora was only ever seen with a blue crown made of light. So she was on the verge of having a solid crown. Pretty sure Rio has just always had the crown from the moment she was created. I was really hoping we'd see Agatha get a purple crown.

[@fxlmsbyoli_]

I’m not sure how that would work with Polaris in the comic though too as she also had a green crown, and will likely have one once introduced into the mcu. I do agree with you though

[@wildlifephotographyfilm7407]

I think Agatha must of somewhat truly cared about Billy as when she tricked the witches down to the basement she made sure he stayed upstairs and was never a part of it all.

[@ewdesignsatl]

she planned on killing them

[@nullhare]

The Evanescence poster in Billy's room really stood out to me. It's of the album 'Fallen' and features the songs "Bring me to Life" (trying to get Tommy back) and 'My Immortal', 'Going Under' (the drowning boy) and 'Haunted' (Agatha is a ghost now). I'm just going by song titles, don't know if the lyrics provide a strong connection to the plot...

[@edensfolly8955]

bring me to life also has a great fall like lilia goes through :P and a loopback from a dream come to think about it.

[@rodroesp]

Even when I do not love 100% the series, hats off to the casting. This is why getting the right actors can make or break a movie or series...

[@THETexxStarr]

THIS. FINALE. WAS. AWESOME!!!!!!

[@denim-wrappednightmares8771]

28:07 Agatha's boots curl at the toes, just like the wicked witch's toes curl after the house lands on her in Oz

[@watcherzero5256]

Manager is right, the dream ending to the Wizard of Oz is only in the film. In the book after clicking her shoes she arrives back at the garden gate of her home inside a similar Tornado to the one that took her to Oz, she then runs up the garden path to greet her mother.

[@piovertwoo]

Nice video Paul! Your Ryan costume is crazy convincing

[@marcusbenjilake]

It’s been a while since the “that’s your mom” joke got me…

[@anitralarae_mahjacat]

Haven't they been Missing?

[@teehlfx5238]

I forgot about that gag. I thought they were going to say it was Lilia

[@ThisIsTheKendom]

Thank you for this! My only disappointment is that you didn’t combine 8 & 9. However, I will be patience. This is one of the best series I’ve seen in a while. When I was watching it I said to myself “I’m so invested” 😂

[@troyculbreth5744]

Haaaaaa i was waiting on “not the bees” and didn’t know how it would be thrown in here… but yal made it happen. I now have joy lol

[@doomduck9826]

Maybe try is is for next episode, but I think the Maiden, Mother, Crone are also great representations of Agatha herself. Maiden was when she was innocent, or maybe her desire for freedom in the present as well. The Mother is her true self - not as evil as others think, and rooted largely around her relationship with Nicholas. The Crone is her defense mechanism persona - the cruel scheming witch she sometimes portrays to do the things she feels she has to do.

[@Iwillone]

Alice got abs.

[@deborahjanes3706]

You should see the rest of her! 💃

[@nomadichippie1930]

26:14 next to Billy’s face is a house on chicken legs, commonly associated with the Baba yaga who is a witch from Russian folklore

[@robcampbell5044]

Thank you! I don't often notice Easter eggs on my own but I noticed that one and I was a little disappointed they didn't mention that in the video. (Also a major character in the Hellboy franchise, so I zeroed in on it pretty quickly).

[@j9playdoh]

Just gotta say thanks for the voices of Brianna and Elias thru this show, can tell u guys brought a lot of ur own perspectives and background knowledge to these vids and we appreciate it!!! 💜

[@NeoAnthony]

I like to think Agatha’s death with all the flowers is an homage to Mrs. Hart (Davis) as she was always tending her garden. So Agatha’s death bed is a garden of flowers.

[@deborahjanes3706]

I like that 👌

[@althyk]

Agatha is so intelligent. Quick student indeed to apply what other witches did in the road.

[@johnbyrne3402]

I noticed Agatha’s feet curl up as she dies like the Wicked Witch crushed by Dorothy’s house did when the slippers were removed.

[@thomholbrook7286]

I love they used the Buffy Once More With Feeling poster. Not only does it touch on the use of music in Agatha but that episode of Buffy is also largely about Buffy dealing with the fact she died and came back to life, like Billy.

[@robstein1313]

14:08 “boys die all the time” I gasped when Agatha said that

[@StarfireKoriandr11]

So agree with the entrance of Billy. It literally made me cheer and scare my cats though I was watching alone. It was fabulous. Just what I've wanted for years.

[@goodlight4113]

It all makes so much more sense, now that we know about billy. Makes the whole series better.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

This was a really great episode of TV. Making this an origin story for both Agatha and Wiccan…

[@Elementroar]

Billy is the Demiurge of magic in comics, he is destined to rewrite the rules of magic and even named the Godcreator. He was the one whose future full powered self created America Chavez’s home world. It doesn’t matter the Road wasn’t real originally, because Billy dreamed it was real, it has now become actually REAL.

[@olivergarrick1175]

The best part is that now we know the reason why agatha wanted wanda's magic she wanted to bring nicholas back.

[@michaelrhett4958]

20:43 I’ve MISSED this! Welcome back your mom jokes!

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

Nobody mentioned that when Agatha died her shoes started curling upwards in the same way as when the Wicked witch of the east got housebodied?

[@Todologist]

Rio cutting the background reminds me of “the subtle knife” of His dark materials😅

[@Kidapollo92]

Glorious purpose!!!

Samhain is pronounced "Sow-when" and is the 31st not the 30th.

[@vrrr.j]

I never enjoy marvel movies except for their humors. But wandavision and agatha all along is something else, and I love it.

[@Hmmmmmmmmm....]

Agatha's death is so dramatic i love it. What a Diva even in her end

[@anotherhealingjourneybegins]

This was such a great show. I used to watch these breakdown videos way more often, but I hate how you'll get spoiled for shows that aren't even out yet. "We know **** will show up in *****" and I'm just like...thanks...? Back to Agatha, I'm hoping we will see more of her and Jen also. And would definitely love to see more Rio/Death in the future.

[@MandkhaiTsetsen]

Ryan: “Look at his shoes! They are green and white like the color his superhero outfits!” Me: Pretty sure those were red/salmon shoes. Wait is it another Blue/Gold dress 👗??

[@jessicawinchester158]

Isnt he colorblind? I feel like he's said that before...

[@deborahjanes3706]

Another blue/gold dress... love it 😂

[@TheSorips]

23:27 ok I gasped here. That was such a great detail. The writing on this show.. wow

[@Zynnix]

I cannot wait for Vision Quest now. I wish this was the main story thread in the MCU, but I guess we're gonna have to wait foreeevvvver to finally get the Young Avengers.

[@sarahcadena9004]

I felt like there’s a lot of questions unanswered. The darkhold and how Agatha first wanted to have it? It seemed like it was her motivation for everything and then faded throughout the end of the series

[@gordon2516]

So waited on this breakdown, vs the Clockbait nonsense! Bravo!

[@fraliexb]

I still think Rio is who threw Teen through the glass window during Alice's trial.

[@ilovemygirl32]

Nah he got air yettted

[@intothefrayyo]

The whole trial thing seems to have been complete nonsense..

[@edensfolly8955]

the way I interpreted that moment, is the dialogue mostly revolves around billy questioning if he will/is part of the coven now, watching them all share the burden of pain and suffering, and I think some want to be included and at risk too manifested itself tbh, OR even the demon attacked him as he was the one actually lifting her curse technically

[@ScreenCrush]

What did you think of the episode?

[@HighFiveLowFive]

Mate, awful ending, all that teasing with Mephisto, why his kid would die at birth... that pointless lgbt stuff that didn't add anything to the story arc..

[@Gzilla313]

Ken: “SUBLIME!”

[@brianb99]

It almost nailed it.... the last 10 minutes seemed rushed and didn't make any sense.

[@jeffarbuckle4615]

Well written, great acting! Episode 7 was phenomenal!!😳🤯

[@nailinthefashion]

​@@HighFiveLowFive it wasn't pointless though. It confirmed they actually are ex lovers lol

[@steveallen8144]

Agatha’s statement that she got her power at the end of the witches’ road is perfect. She was the end of the ‘fake’ road and it always gave her power! Incredible writing

[@zoulogist9171]

We need a season-long recap

[@GoRyder]

Did love the big twist that the road was a creation of Billy's making. Also, did anyone else find the scene at the end of Billy, In full Wiccan costume, just walks to, gets in drives off in his car, to be really funny. Like anything mundane but in full super hero attire is just too funny to me. lol

[@deborahjanes3706]

It kind of speaks to how such people still live in an ordinary world!

[@sirdiddimus]

Samhain is pronounced like "Sowwen"

[@hannahschroder5167]

The scene in the last trial when agatha wanted Billy's power and he refused reminded me a lot of young avengers v2 when loki wanted his powers to stop "mother"

[@charlesd9949]

GO DISNEY GO!!! What MARVEL is doing with the MCU is AWESOME, I can't wait for Daredevil Born Again it will be the best show on DISNEY+ and any other streaming service hands-down! Agatha All Along set the bar high!

[@PaulRessler]

Surprised you didn't notice the nod to the moth and cocoon story aimed at Jennifer's struggle and rebirth. She even flies off!

[@cuppapablo]

Agatha was literally embracing death

[@TheGabsDias]

Your analysis is excellent, but I doubt the producers thought of all that. And that's why I enjoy watching this channel, because it adds an extra layer to the series.
