What DOES Teen Know? Agatha All Along Episode 3 Review and Reaction

[@BreakroomNR]

[@Saimeren]

I think Sharon died because she didn't put any of her own hair into the potion. So it didn't actually work on her. Kind of a give and take situation. In order to take, you have to give a bit of yourself. And she didn't, so even though they gave her the potion, it didn't have any effect on her.

[@JustVaughn.]

I agree, I also noticed Sharon hair didn't make it into the potion

[@markliamdairr]

they did Sharon so dirty man, she didn't deserve all that

[@gummibearvodka]

I want her to live but I agree with this also. She didn't give a piece of her hair.

[@samanthamaclean1430]

Yeah, I thought the same thing they didn’t get a piece of her hair when they were doing the pot I think that’s what went wrong

[@IndomitableAde]

I like this idea! I'd forgotten about the hair ingredient.

[@tonymikemc1311]

Thank god for Jessica being there to point out the racially coded reference to Jennifer’s hallucination.

[@nimkeejoshproductions]

I love Jessica’s theory of Jennifer Kale being a midwife, and this is what Agatha was referencing when she said, “I have always hated you, but I left you alone because what you were doing was important. Not this Kale Kare crap, the real work.” Brewing life.

[@lowkeyproductions6681]

OR: what if Jennifer Kale was brewing abortion brews

[@nimkeejoshproductions]

@@lowkeyproductions6681 Lowkey, that’s even better.

[@lbabytutorials4852]

A witch making potions 🧪

[@ericgreen6127]

What if she was working on an elixir of life and she was close to achieving it. Her experiments were prolonging the lives around her and that man that “bound” her was profiting off death somehow thus calling her an “inconvenient woman”.

[@nailinthefashion]

What if she was Agatha’s dula :( this show better not wreck me

[@IndomitableAde]

I disagree with the oven being a Sylvia Plath reference. I think it's more a Hansel and Gretel reference, because Lilia says she had a friend who died in an oven and "she had a nice house too," probably meaning the witch's gingerbread house. Hansel and Gretel are even in the end credits.

[@AlecBaldwinsTriggerFinger]

Right? That was a pretty obvious one I thought

[@IndomitableAde]

@@AlecBaldwinsTriggerFinger exactly, and probably the average viewer doesn't know who Sylvia Plath is, plus there's a page from Hansel and Gretel in the end credits.

[@gummibearvodka]

I also took the Hansel and Gretel story from that. I don't know who Sylvia Plath is, tbh.

[@matthewheywood8532]

I assumed Hansel and Gretel right away especially with the nice house reference and dying by stove all part of that story

[@kiiing.sosa1_]

I’m surprised not a lot of people are picking up on the hansel and gretel references, it just seems so obvious to me

[@SilverScale.]

At 37:40 -- HARD AGREE! Jennifer Kale as a female Black witch making healing potions, would have been helping her community and other marginalized people access medical care, something the medical establishment of the time would have denied them, and her as a practitioner. I think this is what Agatha means by "I left you alone because you were doing important work." I actually didn't clock it the first time either, the pace of the episode was fast like that, but episode breakdowns helped me realize this. This show is GOOD, folks! Love it... I hope she gets her magic back!

[@ab-um7jz]

I've been loving the show, i dont like how some commentators have reduced their opinion of the show to "its a show for women, i like it, but its not for me" idk kinda seems close mindes

[@wavy6617]

Right? Women have been watching and relating to shows/books/movies about men our entire lives. Why is it such a leap?

[@AlecBaldwinsTriggerFinger]

I don't really see this as being a show for women. It's a show with women in it. Who are these commentators?

The fact that teen is able to say ANYTHING about his parents means that he MUST be lying about them, or is mistaken about them truly being his parents

[@blakej1892]

Making rather generic comments about them (music tastes, cooking habits, etc.) is not revealing any specifics that could give away his identity.

[@Goldenself]

@blakej1892 Maybe. But it's still potentially useful if, for example, you were trying to narrow down a list of suspects.

[@josephmorgan831]

Astute observation

[@wwaxwork]

@@Goldenself Not sure how "likes to sous vide" narrows anything down. Now if they try more specific questions and the sigil doesn't work I'd agree. Maybe in another episode.

[@nailinthefashion]

Or he’s not lying, since he’s talking about his mortal parents, the Kaplans, but any time it relates to magic/Wanda, it’s blocked cuz he got jinxed with the sigil when Billy Kaplan died

[@keithwoodcrest]

In regards to not understanding Agatha's motivation for going down the road, I think you all may be forgetting that she never actually intended to go down the road in the first place. Her plan was to lure the other witches to her basement, trick them into blasting her with their powers and sucking them dry so she could defend herself against the Salem Seven

[@larryjohnson5273]

If that was her plan (agatha) all along, then why did she reveal to Lillia that she can only steal magic if they blast her. She’d be foiling her own plan before it begins.

[@randompeople465]

I think Agatha not want to go or even thinking about the road until Teen showing up and make up her mind. She also need her power back, so what choice she have now if not going to the road like Teen said.

[@wwaxwork]

@@larryjohnson5273 She only told LIllia, the person least likely to attack her anyway.

[@kidmuziclive]

@@larryjohnson5273reverse psychology. She gave her “weakness” as a fake olive branch. I’m more curious thats she clearly walked down a very different version of the road which and it seems like there’s some unresolved issue on the road. I wonder if she truly completed it, otherwise why did she need the Darkhold?

[@kidmuziclive]

I don’t think Agatha actual completed the Road and didn’t get the “prize”. Something happened and she cheated and I feel that’s how she got connected to Mephisto and somehow went on the path to get the Darkhold. I think she made a deal that didn’t give her ultimate power and the Darkhold was her fail safe to get out. She wasn’t a villain in the comics and I feel like her portrayal now is the same. She may have developed this reputation due to some bad decisions and doesn’t mind taking what comes with it as long as she can achieve her goal, even if everyone thinks she is evil.

[@jh9496]

I think only one can make it to the end, and Agatha is holding that info back. That’s why she’s acting weird imo

[@fitzytail896]

That's what I think too but I excited to know what the so called "Prize" at the end of the road (if she ever did go on the road) is. It couldn't have been the Darkhold as it's alluded she sacrificed her son for the book. Maybe if they're going for an Agatha redemption arc she would use this Prize to resurrect her fallen witchy collegues (we all know some are gonna die as Rio Vidal said in the trailer that bodies are piling up) and Sharon and thus completing the true purpose of the Road : a true Coven. But that's just wishful thinking

[@richardmaloneriki1811]

That would also make sense why Agatha DIDNT bring Rio. They aren't allowed to kill each other, and knowingly bringing Rio would be effectively killing Rio

[@EmotionalCacti]

One deep probably far-fetched idea I have. We all see how Lilia is getting a bunch of premonitions? I think one of them that she blurts out came true. When Sharon says "get off me" when she was going off the path of the road at the beginning of the episode it kind of parallels the same tone and words that Lilia said in episode 2. So what if Lilia is blurting out phrases that other characters would say in further episodes. For instance, the "I love you guys" could be from the teen.

[@CHEEEEEESEWizard]

Oooooh that’d be cool!

[@bigrandomun9267]

That would be a very good use of her character.

[@oliviafrancis-g7y]

The save Agatha line could also be from teen because the other witches don’t like her that much

[@swimfreakcmb]

VERY good point! That makes complete sense!

[@nicblueberry6360]

That’s brilliant. I wonder if “I love you guys” will come from Alice Wu, because she seems so far to be the most empathetic and kind hearted.

[@Ferretlover64]

Remember when Sharon said she would drink the blood of a virgin ? They actually did in the potion to get out of the first trial…..

[@MJ_3192]

Love that the OG members are on Breakroom more often. Especially Voss! But would love to see Maude, Coy, and Hector again!

[@jasonbuford6866]

Mrs 🖤's hallucination was a called back from episode 1 of WandaVision

[@larkin2662]

Did anyone else notice the 30-minute countdown clock was for Sharon. The other witches had a couple more minutes longer since they didn't drink from the wine glasses at the same time. Even if Sharon got the cure in time, she was never going to benefit from it on the witches' road because her hair wasn't part of the cure. Once her fate was decided, the trial opened the path for the others through the oven door because they still had more time on the clock. If not for the water pouring in, Sharon could had stayed alive in the house, but she could never return alive to the witches' road.

[@larkin2662]

It makes me wonder if Lorna Wu is stuck alive in one of the trials because if she leaves, she dies. If only Agatha and 'Teen' make it to the final trial, and the witches are lost along the journey, what if Alice Wu-Gulliver finds her mother and decides to stay with her so she isn't alone for eternity. I mean I would rather prefer that as a possibility for a future return instead of her character dying permanently.

[@thewinterizzy]

Excited for Jessica’s video after hearing her discuss Jennifer Kale’s background. Can’t wait to see what details she’s uncovered!!

[@davidestes6381]

Jessica, a question about your interesting take on Jennifer Kale. Could she, as a Potions Witch, have been providing abortion inducing medicines, like a Pennyroyal Tea. This was often the case for real spinsters who were labeled as witches as keepers of herbology that would provide these kind of medicines to the young women of the town. Often when the powerful male figure, like a Reverend or say in this case, a doctor, be outraged at this, similar to how so many on the Religious Right get outraged over this subject. Jennifer would see herself providing a natural ingredient service, what she is still doing with her "Goop" style company, and then running afoul of a medical figure who condemns this practice - because we all know how some men love dictating how women use their bodies. It would also be a clue on why she is so focused on Agatha giving away her baby for the Darkhold. I don't know if Marvel/Disney is brave enough to wade into these waters but it could be a subtext.

[@orishahar]

I would love this so much but unfortunately I don’t think marvel would be brave enough to take a pro choice stance publicly

[@davidestes6381]

@@orishahar Sadly, I agree. That is several huge bridges too far for Disney. But I did see where Stevie Nicks (who is probably the rock star Lorna Wu is based off of) just released an Abortion Rights song/video called "The Lighthouse," which is a really gutsy move by an artist and music company. Maybe we are seeing the beginning of a sea change.

Y'all missed the term "glamour". Glamour indicates that the sigil could be hiding an appearance as well. So Teen could be a 200ft demon for all we know.

[@jdahnscott]

Mysteries should be revealed in the last third of the run... especially in a "witch" series where 3 is so dominant. First third should explain and get empathy. The second third should marinate and get the emotional balance. The third portion should be revelation and ownership, the croon.... it's that scientific...lol

[@KingOfMadCows]

It seems like the Witches' Road has a consciousness of its own. I wonder if it's going to turn out to be a lot more sinister than we think. They've joked about human sacrifices. What if Agatha is trying to sacrifice the other witches to the Road in exchange for getting her powers back? Magic has to have a cost and if they're bargaining with supernatural forced they have to be willing pay a price for the power.

[@nellybell32]

[@petertu7359]

Maybe Agatha absorbed their power and killed them all.

[@ericgreen6127]

We know that Agatha killed her original coven, the one with her mom. I think based off the trailer, Agatha kills another coven in the same fashion by absorbing their powers. We don’t know which one she went down the witches’ road with…or if she went down it at all. Some people seem to believe she’s lying about it. I think Agatha went down the witches’ road with her original coven and that’s how she got the darkhold.

[@vampiritazz]

​​@@ericgreen6127yeah, i think her speech when the other witches ask her about "what the road was like" (or something among those lines, right before sharon/ms. hart goes missing) sounded very vague and fabricated to me. like a politician trying to convince people to vote for them. i don't know. maybe she did go down the road. or maybe she didn't.

At 16: 39 I LOVE how you read the house as a metaphysical manifestation of Jen's body/mind as a potions witch! Very dream symbol, very metaphor, very awesome! ❤ (I mean dreams are more than just personal symbolic psychological exploration but they do involve that!)

[@cornixregina]

It was said that the road is different for each coven so maybe Agatha doesn't know what to expect because it's different from when she last walked the road because the coven is different but knows enough to be suspicious of everything.

[@tattedupluv]

I think Vidal and Teen are in cahoots. I haven't watched episode 4 yet, so I'm not sure what I'll think afterward. When she was playing FBI and visited Agatha, she didn't seem surprised or even curious when they heard him rummaging around upstairs during the B&E. It also seemed like it was a little hint that Agatha was theorizing that two perps were involved in the murder due to the two airbags from the wreck. They could be qorking together and tag teamed to wake her up. Vidal might've even been the one to cast the sigil on him. 🤔 Another theory is that Vidal is using Teen and he doesn't even know it. Maybe Agatha hates Vidal because she tricked her into the sacrifice that took her son. Vidal also could've retrieved his soul and stashed it in Teen without him even knowing it. Many possibilities but I do believe they are connected in some way.

[@Klaital1]

I am thinking that Rio Vidal might be Blackheart, Mephisto's son. Taking in that when the diviner witch wrote the list for Agatha, instead of writing her name she just drew a black heart.

[@IndomitableAde]

I Googled Mephisto, saw that he had two children, and immediately thought of Rio because of what she said to Agatha in the two-part opener.

@@sarahcarry4037 And also the whole weird exchange between them where Agatha says 'you can't kill me, it's not allowed.'

[@whitewolf6741]

What if teen is the regular Wiccan story but instead of having a peice of mephistos soul he has a peice of Nicolas’s but he is still billy Caplin and Wanda’s son but he doesn’t know that and what if the accident in west view killed both his parents and instead of wishing for power he wishes for his parents to come back to life but instead of bringing back Jeff and Rebecca Caplin it brings back Wanda and vision or if he does wish for power then maybe he does a spell to get his parents back but the spell brings back Wanda and vision instead of the parents he means

First, how did not one of you catch that they never put Sharon's hair in the potion? That's why she died. I did like that you caught that the friend in the oven reference was likely to Sylvia Plath. As for not knowing the character's motivations, I'm the exact opposite. I think we would be far less sympathetic to Agatha if we knew for a fact she was just using all these women and Teen. I think we got the most backstory about Jennifer the potions witch because she was focus of this trial. I think each trial will focus on a different witch. I think the Big Bad will turn out to be Agatha but it's past Agatha. The witch's road isn't just about getting her power back but is Agatha's redemption arc.

What if…. Teen IS Mephisto and Billy and Nicolas are souls he holds so they pop out at times. And perhaps when Wanda destroyed all the darkholds it somehow blended them and he needs Agathas knowledge of the darkhold and the road loophole to get unstuck. He thinks she will want the book back but really she is going to ask for her son back and then steal all the witches powers once they have them back so she wins all around.

@@IndomitableAde In the comics Wanda created Tommy and Billy from pieces of Mephisto. His essence somehow got shattered (don't remember the exact story) and two of those pieces were taken by Wanda and turned into her sons. After that Mephisto took them back which meant the end of the boys original form. However the souls still existed and somehow (a lot of people speculate it was done by Billy when he became basically god called Demiurge in the future but I am not sure if there ever was a confirmation of what really happened) they got reincarnated into two random boys. The story is very complicated, was changed couple of times and a lot of the pieces of the puzzle are missing but this is basically what happened. Gotta remember that Scarlet Witch, Mephisto and even Wiccan have some insane abilities so very few thigs would be impossible.

Lilia's first premonition from the kitchen happened in this episode. Sharon yells, "Get off me," when she walks off alone just before losing her bag. I think this is what Lilia was referring to.

[@MTonTV]

Not specifically about episode 3, but it’ll be pertinent soon: I think an important question to ask is how does Rio end up on The Witches’ Road? She wasn’t there when The Road was conjured, and we saw the way in disappear. So can anyone just portal in? I would think not. Does that invalidate The Road? Is it not actually The Witches’ Road as we know it?Maybe Rio governs The Road - or IS the road. Maybe The Witches’ Road is actually just an elaborate trap to claim the souls of witches and Agatha escaped, and Rio/The Road has been after her ever since. I doubt it lol, but it would fun 🤪

Also, what might be binding some of the witches is self-doubt, especially the Jennifer Kale. Also, it would be interesting if the Teen placed the spell upon himself in order to confuse the other witches.

[@CountOrlok22]

I think the sigil spell on Teen works two ways kind of like a psychological two-way mirror. Not only does it hide his identity from others, essentially silencing him without, but it also lies to him and presents a false version of himself within. I think Teen believes he is Agatha's son, or possibly a reincarnation of her son, Nicholas Scratch. I think it will obviously be revealed that he is Billy Kaplan, but only after Agatha has become attached to him, and that will force her to choose between retribution against Wanda or redemption by saving Billy from Death.

[@ricg7675]

More nods to famous witch movies! This time the housewives aesthetic seemed to be pointing at Practical Magic but thinking we're looking at the older movie The Witches Of Eastwick. Which makes when teen says "very middle-aged second chance at love and I am here for it sort of ominous. All the witches are looking for second chances but the male character in that movie was Jack Nicholson as the Devil. Teen's gay but there are many types of love, including maternal. It's also a movie where the neighbour character doesn't fare very well. Going off a movies theme then Alice's trial may be based on The Craft and Lilia's air trial may be a little cross-promotion with Wicked. Yes! A singing trial! More singing!

A couple things I’d like to bring up! I think Agatha DID walk the road, but was in a more bystander role like teen. She would be less of a contributor and more reliant on others, and that all the other witches died, making her terrified of taking the road. See how she encourages everyone to sip the wine but not drink it herself, suggesting that she has more of an understanding than everyone else. And I know that was played off as Agatha being selfish, but the antidote required the blood of someone who wasn’t poisoned! This trial could have been solved if Jenn realized the wine was poison, had 1 potential “sacrifice” and made the antidote, but they aren’t willing to sacrifice themselves for their coven making the trials more deadly to all of them! Agatha is keeping her cards close to her chest because she doesn’t want to have the others catch on to her backup plan in case things go south.

[@petertu7359]

Agatha may not know with certainty what will happen because the road manifests differently for each group of witches. Notably, their nightmare hallucinations were personalized based on their pasts. Hence, Agatha may know that they will face trials but can’t be certain about the details of each trial.

[@elmegil]

Seems like there are exactly the right number of episodes for each of the witches (if you inclued Rio) to have her own, plus teen and a denouement

[@ricg7675]

Saw in the preview for ep4 that somehow on of the Salem Seven have chased them onto the road. We saw one turn into the whole group before so maybe that will happen here. As for how they got on the road, when one of them broke into the house before they scratched teen, which might be enough. A Nicholas Scratch, even.

[@lbabytutorials4852]

The house was so beautiful like Jessica’s skin care store, everyone that walked into that beach house was dressed like her customers so I knew right away it would be a trial for Jennifer with her portion making, I loved how her skin care line randomly appeared in the house. It’s cool to see a potion witch. The next one looks like the 70’s episode with the Asian girl I’m sure it will be her trial and the coven will have to help her with her trial, than the next trial will be the card reading witch, than we will see Agatha’s trial which I have a feeling will be amazing. As far as Billy Wiccan if he’s somehow related to Wanda I wonder why he loves Agatha so much she tried to kill Wanda. It’s sad they left Tommy out but looking forward to more episodes they say there 38 min long but there really like 20 minutes with the credits which is such a shame i wish each episode was at least 40 minutes long there is so much to explore- 9 episodes is not enough if there 20 min each. I have a feeling we will see Sharon at the end it’s a little unbelievable they’d kill her off so fast.

[@samuelballard3467]

My absolute favorite panel. If hector was here itd be dream team

[@amirmahadeo56]

I think sharon is forced to come back for one simple reason: Its written in the ballad. "If one be gone, we carry on Spirit as our guide." I thrink every coven that walks the road must have at least one death and that person becomes a part of the road to act as a guide for the coven.

[@evilraskel5569]

Their are funky pops that give away the teen and Rio"s identity .

[@jamirsolomon5043]

The witches road is the villain of the season where at the end Agatha’s will safe teen instead of sacrificing him like her son

[@rayalexander3734]

I am kewl with the looming influence of all these ppl who have made deals with mephisto in the background. Mephisto could be what we wanted from Kang and what Thanos was. A looming threat with the impact that we see before the direct confrontation. We need iron heart now to tie in more mephisto deals and the impact on our mcu world. I hope the body is billy kaplan with Nick possessing him disoriented and then end will be separating the two and our billy being able to take the body. I am kinda hoping they blend them or that we can have Nick Scratch as well.

[@nardo9115]

37:27 i told a few of my coworkers about this show who aren’t really into marvel but they are thoroughly enjoying it simply for the witch/mystery genre. small sample size but the average viewer is enjoying the show

[@nardo9115]

i also really like it too and watch all marvel content

[@AnnaYoungStories]

Well, Eric knows how to punk Brandon now. Just leave his baby at his house. Surprise babysitting! 😂

[@thegoddesskk7004]

I felt like a Jeopardy winner when I guessed wine 😂

[@chxtman]

i just realized that because sharon had two doses, teen was able to be unpoisioned to complete the spell. otherwise he’d have had to have a glass too to finish the bottle

[@chasegraham9112]

If the Salem 7 were after Agatha, then y did they grab after teen? Maybe they sense that they are somehow related? The witch says Agatha when she jumps through the window to grab him as well.

[@nicolexlaudat]

Theory: they all have to give Agatha their powers willingly to face an enemy or escape the road and trust that she will give it back at the end, which will test her character.

[@dblea9535]

Jessica over there like… “oh here we go!” Love her!

[@Moonscar1]

I’m just now catching up so I’m not sure if you mention it, but I wonder if Sharon is going to come back as a ghost. If we listen to the lyrics of the ballad, “if one be gone, we carry on, spirit as our guide”

[@terisnthere8554]

The Breakroom is By Far The Best KZbin Panel Show!!!

[@nashvillianchrisman8154]

OK, I like the theory that Nicholas scratch is possessing him sometimes what if the Demi urge is a curse cause from trading a baby for the darkhold and that will be the demiurge in the future is a curse and Nicholas scratch

[@parthsarthimuranjan9069]

jen did say that agatha son could be mephistos servent so maybe thats how they tie in mephisto into the show

[@seanalexandermedia]

i wish disney plus shows was as long as break room episodes 😢

[@JimSamable]

If Mephisto's mention does turn out to be a seed planted for a later episode, I cannot wait to see Eric's reaction 😂

[@aryiaquinn]

Lol the first time i had alcohol was 14. I stole my great grandma's leftover wine after she died.

[@julyenpinder6253]

As a little Catholic boy I love when Erik brings up his Catholic upbringing. "Transubstantiation baybeeeee "

[@PhoinexStrm]

Rio usually says in Spanish to Agatha “Te Veo”. In English more or likely for her character would be “see you later”.

[@thacyphakc]

🎉I'm rewatching the episodes.. realizing when she was in the library that was probably Dottie' book club/township (from WV) lmao ..it was probably her umteenth time doing it thats why they all just run with it now

[@Aquamarine333]

Also, the change in screen ratio could mean seeing reality thru the eyes of someone. Bc in Wandavision whenever we were in the hex the screen ration changed bc we were seeing things thru Wanda’s warped perception. What if this is a way the show is telling us not everything we see is “real” or accurate?? I know its obvious bc it only changes inside the trial but what if it means something more? Also, what if Blackheart and Agatha are sisters?? Maybe after Agatha killed their mother she or another Coven put a spell or a protection so Agatha couldn’t do the same to her In Agnes world, Agatha sees her as a more advanced witch bc she sees her as a higher up cop. This is confirmed when she says that “she’s unstoppable”.

[@CM-my9bw]

I find it odd that Joe Locke’s character, “Teen” is gagged and bound in Agatha’s house…for 3 years? What happened to Ralph Bohner? Ralph was Agatha’s husband from “Wandavison”, as Monica Rambeau discovered when she went snooping around at Agatha’s house. Is Ralph actually “Teen”? Ralph was originally in the witness protection program when Agatha discovers him, enchants him and makes him play the role of Pietro Maximoff, in order to fool and get close to Wanda. It’s interesting to point out that Ralph was in hiding in Westview 3 years ago and “Teen” is essentially in hiding with a sigil spell concealing his identity from the witch community. It could a coincidence, but you never know.

[@marquis8300]

I think Agatha put that spell on him when she was an amateur that’s why her reaction was that way when they somewhat questioned her about it. It’s not just the when they questioned her it’s every time she seen the spell…her facial expression changes

[@williamryansennett]

idk i immediately thought of the craft when they said jennifer was bound and how sarah was trying to bind nancy

[@mrbaldy1665]

To Eric's question about lack of answers this far in, i feel like as long as they answer most of them by the end its fine. The fact that its3a mini series i feel is more reason to be this vague. It spends its time on other things because the time set for those answers is later

[@kimberlydowell8551]

Another theory of mine is 1 Mrs Heart was mephisto's vessel to get to the witches road. Or they are all of Agatha sins n are ghost haunting her which could explain the Agatha being the villain all along. Maybe she's the one who put the curse on ? Family. Still think only 3 will walk out but I think Agatha, Wanda, Aubrey character. Still want Michael Keaton or Johnny Depp as him. Still say there's a Beetlejuice sculpture in a tree. Read somewhere or heard someone say they seen a sand worm.

[@the-purple_primordial]

Funny how he mentioned “you might watch our show twice, maybe even three times” lol. I’m on my second
