Have you seen the meme going around about the show? If you are a "familiar" who would you choose to be your coven from the characters of the MCU? For you coven leader would you choose: The Ancient One, Ajak, Hela or Frigga(I would be afraid Hela would kill us all so I would pick Frigga), The Protector: Jane Thor, Elsa(Werewolf by Night), Kamala or Thena(I think she got over her "madwerring" so I would go with Thena). High Priestest: Mantis, Maya, Shuri or Layla(Moonknight) I would go with Maya(who else can bring you from near death???), The "Sharon": Madisynn, Darcy, Katy or Cosmo(I don't agree with Cosmo being on here as she has "SUPER" powers, I would go with Katy as we will need a driver. Last the "Green Witch": Gamora, Serci, Sylvie or SheHulk. I would have to go with Jennifer Walters. I just thought this was fun, thx.

Did you hear about the female executive producer for marvel recently said that Wanda is dead and off the table 🙄🙄it annoyed me so much The thing that marvel and Kevin feige have a major issue with and there are many us that unlike before he has and they have lost there way when it comes to keeping the story connected and also keeping characters moving steadily ahead If they actually killed Wanda it’s because Kevin does not know where to go with her and even Elizabeth Olsen she said this in so many words and she was upset by what they did to Wanda in Dr strange 2 If Wanda is actually dead and if teen is actually billy Wanda’s son then that puts his future in jeopardy in the Mcu because I hope the only reason they aren’t bringing billy back isn’t because they want him to be apart of the young avengers that would make so many people mad Also Wanda’s story was never finished even though marvel and Kevin act like it was she never knew what happened to her children or vision The best characters of the recent Mcu was Jonathan majors as kang and Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda both of them really fired on all cylinders for there characters and with impeccable acting So to fire one and kill the other what are we left with Robert Downey jr as an evil doom 🙄🙄🙄it’s more bs I’m sorry but the only thing good about the recent mcu has kang and been Wanda and her kids and vision

[@EveryThing-z6k]

A couple ideas I've had: 1. We all suspect that Rio might be Death. When she says "I was in the neighborhood" she's referring to the fact that she had already come to the Witches Road in that capacity to collect Sharon's soul- this assumes that she and Sharon are not one-and-the-same. 2. Sharon really was a green witch practicing analog magic. She just never knew it. When Agatha says "I didn't think you had it in you." She's referring to Sharon being able to fulfill the role of Green Witch in opening the door to the road. 3. The trials are a diversion. The ballad specifically says "through many miles of TRICKS and trials." The time challenges with the fancy doors look flashy- what if they are the tricks. Episode 4 appears to be the fire trial but crucially at the end of it Jennifer, the potions Witch, saves Teen's life using her skillset. She even does so with water and moonlight. What if that was the real water trial. Need to see how further episodes unfold, but I am very much cooking on the idea that the big fancy trials are all smoke and mirrors and the real tests are much more subtle.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Excellent theories! That’s a really cool idea that the trials are just a diversion. I do indeed think there are many more twists and turns as a series continues on. It’s been fantastic so far!

[@Klaital1]

One thing to note also is that Rio has exact same color scheme as Hela, who is another representation of Death.

[@sourdaisies]

I love that interpretation of Agathas comment to Sharon’s body, it makes a lot of sense! Only still wondering what that little wink to Teen meant right after that…

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, that wink is definitely a mystery

[@EveryThing-z6k]

@AbitofEverything4U Episode 5 only has me cooking on this theory even more. In this episode Alice used her fire magic to protect the coven from attack, ultimately sacrificing her own life. The real fire trial has been completed.

[@teddertot256]

With all of the Wizard of Oz theming, I wonder if we’re seeing their gifts getting played out. Jennifer gets “the nerve”, Alice gets to “go home”, Agatha gets “a heart”, perhaps Lilia gets “a brain” (like clarity to her visions), and teen gets … a soul?

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Niiiiiice! Yeah, that all fits perfectly. I love that!

[@StarKidDreams]

Could rio also get a heart because doesn’t she say something to Agatha about how her heart is black after Agatha tells her she doesn’t have a heart

[@SandUtil]

[@captaingoblin7332]

5:16 I would say that is also tied to the song "Down, down, down the road. Down the witches road" which on the one hand means walking on the road but also literally means going DOWN to the next level.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great point! Yeah, the concept of "down" continues to come up!

[@thuirthiawindsong]

I think the thing with Jen is also referring to how women were driven out of the field of childbirth. For most of our history, women were primary caregivers for other women in labor. Midwives were the default and many cultures did not allow men into the room when a woman was in labor. But over time, male doctors pushed women out of the field entirely, knocking midwifery as primitive and unsafe as they pushed their unsafe notions about childbirth forward, taking agency away from laboring moms. The abuse of the black women during this push was also absolutely appalling, but the field of obstetrics is only recently and slowly realizing that midwifery has a very valid place in women’s health and childbirth and that some 19th and 20th century practices are less ideal than what midwives have known all along. As a new mom who gave birth with midwife assistance in a birthing center, marvel referencing this history really spoke to me

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Fantastic point! Yes, the pushing out of women from the field could explain calling Jen and "inconvenient woman", which was so appalling. And congrats on being a new mom and doing it with a midwife. I'm sure that was a wonderful experience you will never forget!

[@vanessadrew-branch5321]

I think you’re both in the right spot. Enslaved women were used to birth babies because of their knowledge. And in modern times that knowledge was demonized and Black midwive’s magic (bringing new life into the world ) was bound by male dominated modern medicine.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, definitely not good moments in medical history. Ugh!

[@Firellius]

So I have a different theory with regards to Sharon that popped into my head. Assuming Rio is death, she was in the neighbourhood, possibly to collect Sharon, when the spell was cast to summon a Green Witch. Rio says that the spell pulled her out, which is certainly a plausible explanation, but going off the thing I mentioned the other day of Agatha describing Rio as a tourist to the Witches' Road and thus implying she's not a real witch... If Rio is death, and not a true witch, then maybe the spell didn't call her at all. It was a funny contrast of course, with Lilia saying the spell needs time to work, and then immediately cutting to Rio crawling out of the ground, but what if the spell didn't summon Rio at all and she just crawled up of her own accord? Because that would mean that Sharon is still out there, buried in the pure magic soil of the Witches' Road, 'marinating' in a spell to summon a Green Witch. Theory #2 is in regards to Teen: What if it is Wanda that set the Sigil and sent Teen out to guide Agatha down the Witches' Road? Wanda herself may be indisposed or some such, but also Agatha would not trust her. She also wouldn't trust Teen if she knew the boy was Wanda's. So perhaps Wanda set up the Sigil to hide Teen's identity, planted a fascination with Agatha and the Witches' Road, armed him with the spell he would need to break the hex' hold on Agatha, and sent him to Westview. After all: "I'll know where to find you."

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I love all these ideas about Rio and Mrs. Hart. I can't wait to find out what game Rio is actually playing. She is such a fascinating character. And I am definitely open to Wanda casting the sigil as I hadn't considered her casting as a way of guiding Agatha down the road. That's a cool theory!

[@CathyY72]

To build off your Teen theory, in the comics, it was Wanda who helped Agatha on the road.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great point!

[@thewitchingdoor]

There HAS to be a connection between señor scratch the bunny in wanda vision to Agatha’s son Nicholas…and the bunny statue in that shot…I’m really surprised no one has mentioned that yet!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good point! Yeah, it sure does seem like senior scratchy and Nicholas are tied together somehow. I can’t wait to see how this all ends up… So many different mysteries that are inter-weaving together!

[@PixelBunn]

Im pretty sure Alice's story isnt done BECAUSE her mothers ballad says "I'll see you at the end." Since the road is void of time, I bet she'll see her mother at the end of the road.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That would be such a neat way to tie into the song!

[@richardchisenhall387]

I feel like Billy will bring them back after trying to take the next task on his own, just my theory though

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That’s a great theory!

[@HerHollyness]

These are some outlandish theories! 😂 I can get on board with Rio potentially flinging Teen though - it did strike me as odd as it wasn’t the curse’s usual MO (of latching onto the shoulders and burning). However, she definitely didn’t heal him. When they’re trying to work out how to save him, Lilia says, “He’s young, he’s strong,” as though to suggest he’ll make it through without magical healing but Agatha snaps, “Don’t!” at her, and then turns to Rio and says, “Don’t.” This time in a softer voice, as though asking her not to take him. The look she gives Rio later, when he’s healed, is in thanks - but not for healing him - it’s for giving them *time* to heal him.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great feedback! Yeah, I agree. It seems that Agatha‘s look over at Rio was to thank her for not taking Teen and instead giving them time to heal him.

[@Conbarr]

I have been loving agatha all along, and all the accompanying fan theories. It is much better than i expected, and i still had decently high hopes. Now hoping the next 5 episodes will be just as incredible!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree...really hoping they crush it with the last 5 episodes. Loving it so far!

[@wchbang4811]

I thought that Lillia’s “I love you guys” premonition is linked to the silence where she spaces out at the end of episode 4 after saying “you know we really kinda hated each other at the beginning, but now….”

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Right! Yeah, those two are definitely connected. So, I’m wondering whether she’s gonna say them together in the future or perhaps that was the only time she’ll say them?

[@animalsrcute5762]

I had said notice in the first episode or so when Rio is the detective at Agatha's house notice Rio doesn't seem surprised or worried or run to see who's breaking into the house unless she knew someone was supposed to break into the house. I've had an idea since they dropped the first trailer. Wouldn't it be cool if Mrs heart is a witch from long ago who maybe got put under a spell to forget. When I want to live a normal life and marry a mortal man. And this is why she was the only one strong enough to speak to say / plead for Wanda to save her husband back in Wanda Vision. And all the shenanigans of Agatha bring back her memory.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That's right...you did suggest that way back on the first episode. I love those theories about Mrs. Hart!

[@sourdaisies]

I’m very fascinated by Lilia’s premonitions and how they work… I thought it could maybe be a bit like time travel, not just in the sense that she gets a flash of what’s coming and responds to that, but that the actual phrase she is saying gets ‘stolen’ from it’s original place in time so to speak. I found it fascinating that in the last episode (4) she says “you know, we really kind of hated each other in the beginning, but now…” and then she trails off without finishing the thought. Like you mentioned, her earlier outburst of “I love you guys” fits here perfectly, but she never says the actual words. The other women even try to encourage her to finish her thought but she kind of seems to not know what they are talking about. Almost like that’s what she was supposed to say here, but her timeline is a bit scattered so she has already said it before. If that’s the case then we are not going to hear her repeat these premonitions later in the series but instead there are going to be empty moments where she is quiet or trails off where these phrases would have fit perfectly.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree, Lilia’s divinations are fascinating. And you’re right, maybe she was trying to say I love you guys in the fourth episode and then realized she had said it previously. I would love it if they gave us a bit more of an explanation of how it’s all working at some point… Maybe after Lilia herself figures out what’s happening

[@sourdaisies]

@@AbitofEverything4U maybe she didn’t realize she had said it previously, cause it doesn’t seem like she really remembers what she says during these moments. I think she really zones out fully and isn’t aware of it. I’m going to watch the 5th ep now, hopefully there’s more answers!!

[@annfran3543]

Yes I did wonder if the get off me was ep 4 with the demon on her shoulders

[@AbitofEverything4U]

@sourdaisies I think you may be right...it seems she doesn't say things if she's said them previously. How interesting!

[@sourdaisies]

@@AbitofEverything4U I’m glad you noticed too that Alice was screaming something with no sound (as you mentioned in your vid on ep 5)!!! I did too and I’ve seen no one talk about it, and it fits perfectly with my theory.

[@_.zwieback._]

I like the "going down" observation, especially thinking about the ballad of the witches road going [down, down, down we go, ...]

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, it really does fit perfectly, doesn’t it!

[@Wickedleme]

The “get off me” line came from Sharon when she was trying to find a way out. Also in the third ep when she said “I love you guys” was the end of the sentence from ep 4 by the camp fire.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I wondered about that Mrs. Hart said as well… But what she actually ended up saying was “Don't touch me”. So that seemed different enough that I don’t know if it was actually fulfilling the divination. But I could be wrong on that.

[@tjarvennetz7061]

As I was looking at the end card, I realised something: The note with the release dates of the episodes looks like it could foreshadow which episode focuses on which witch. E.g. the "episode 2" is written very beautifully, it would fit Jen and her character of liking beauty and care...

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, it sure does seem like the fonts on the end card are hints about things to come in future episodes. That’s a really cool detail!

[@chaelan6014]

I think with Rio being theorized as death.. I think she usually comes as Rio since as "the green witch" she's nature and earth related, which could mean that she's keeping the nutrients and stuff for the plants and using the bodies as fertilizer for the earth. As death, she didn't deal with the souls because maybe the hell lords and other afterlives (Hela, Mephisto, etc) collect them but she just keeps in check. Souls can be in any afterlife but the body left behind is always uniquely for the realm they died in. Another one is that Sharon could be a dormant witch, like Wanda accidentally doing probability spells. She has a "green thumb" as seen in her garden, and that must be green witch magic untapped.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That’s a cool theory about Rio. Yeah I think there’s a lot of complexities about her character that we have yet to learn. And I also suspect we’re going to see Sharon again and get a bit more backstory on how she fits into all of this as well!

[@attila0323]

I love the theory at 0:48, it's like half a second on the screen (I had to watch it again and again in slow motion) but definitely seems that way, and makes so much sense after Rio asking Agatha about the boy.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, it was for such a short little bit and I had to watch it a few times in slow motion as well. But it definitely does look like Rio might have done that to Teen. There sure are a lot of mysteries going on with Rio!

[@howveyouben]

During WandaVision, people were theorizing that Agnes killed Sparky just to see how Wanda would respond (which made the last line of her song even funnier). So it doesn’t seem unreasonable to think that Rio injured Teen on purpose (they’re written by the same woman after all).

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good point… Yeah, in both cases, the adversary of the series was willing to injure or even kill another life just to test someone.

[@maskerriz2616]

Agatha killed Sparky to see if Wanda could bring beings back from the dead, not to just see what her reaction is

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Exactly! In the case of Sparky, it was a test to see if Wanda could bring back the dead. That would be really cool if Agatha all along ties back to that.

[@AdarP5R]

I think it would be funny if in one of the later episodes there is a song about how it was Rio/Death all along, and it would reveal all the stuff she did as Sharon

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Ikr? Things really are leading up to a Rio all along song!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

[@purechaosss]

What if at the end of the road. Agatha gets her son back but not in a regular way. Like in the comics, Agatha’s son IS the literal dark hold. Calling himself “Her greatest creation.” SO, what if at the end of the road, Agatha finds her “son” which is literally just the personified version of the dark hold. She gets her powers and her son. Is that one of the many reasons why the dark hold was in the baby crib during Agatha’s hallucination? Who knows.. Im so excited for the ending and I really hope the show ends off on a good note and doesn’t end off dry. 💜

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Now that's a creative theory. Would be cool to see things head in that direction with Agatha, Nicholas and the Darkhold. And yeah, I agree, I really hope they manage to stick the landing. The show has been great so far!

[@mickymcmillan813]

Shucks. I love these videos! The cards that inspired: The seven of wands is really interesting. It implies a futile battle against an overwhelming force. Limited numbers in the face of greater odds. The knight of wands is proactive, as all knights are, and is a passionate fire card. I think it means Alice will be proactive or brave in the face of an overwhelming threat... But it might also be that she's too proactive, like in the scene at the hottopic. she might get herself in trouble or act to rashly to defend others. The four of wands is celebratory. It's four posts holding a canopy together for a wedding. What's interesting is they went with the exact same castle. Also, none of these are air cards. Cups is water, and Wands is fire. So lillia's trial is a toss up. I don't know what element she aligns with. It's possible that it could be the reverse meanings. This could be a way to read her faults. If the queen of cups helps us nurture our emotions responsibly and the four of cups is a celebration of people coming together than maybe this is saying that Lillia's been neglecting her longing for company (because of her trauma) and that it's weakened her ability to proform magically. The magician and death is interesting. The magician is powerful and I was wondering why the death card looks nothing like the one they've made. Normally the death card depicts them on a white horse claiming the life of a king. The kings wife and priest stand weeping and bargaining. These are personifications. The king implies the established order. The priest of course is in a position to support the order as religion. The wife is those who benefit from the order. That's why death is transformative. But by making death the magician, it implies that death has personal autonomy and power. That they have the tools to traverse adversity as long as they master them. Even the adversity that comes from being chained to their job, and having to take sons they regret taking. If we read the cards reversed, they pretty much confirm what Rio said about her battle scars. 😢

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Wow...that's some great theorizing! Loved reading it all. It's so much fun trying to discern the meaning behind Marvel's version of the Rider-Waite tarot cards. They pull elements from multiple tarot cards, making it seem that there are meanings from the card of the same name (those might be the main interpretations) that then need to be taken into account with the cards where some of the imagery was taken (basically the secondary interpretations woven in). Such a cool way to give us hints and clues about the series via the associated cards!

[@mickymcmillan813]

@@AbitofEverything4U it's especially hard because I just realized they might be reverse meanings ... Which I prefer not to read, but are very valid for most.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very true… You can definitely see that empathy and understanding!

[@Hydratz]

8:48 I believe that the part about going down levels during each trial is significant and that the way to leave the lowest part of this place is via the Tower back to the surface world.

[@Celebok]

I can definitely get on board with those Rio theories. I still like the idea that Rio has been Mrs. Hart from the very beginning of the series. And that's a great point about Rio, as Mrs. Hart, being the one to hit Teen with the car, being consistent with that other theory that Rio is testing Agatha's reaction to Teen getting hurt. I think it would even be a cool reveal that Mrs. Hart isn't even living in Westview anymore, that maybe she and her husband moved out of Westview right after Wandavision. As for the counter-argument about Mrs. Hart's hallucination referencing Wandavision, I suppose Rio could've briefly visited Mrs. Hart (even if she wasn't in Westview anymore) and downloaded her memories, for the purpose of being able to impersonate her convincingly, and that allowed her to have that hallucination. I don't really have any additional thoughts on Teen's identity or who cast the sigil. To me, the theories that were mentioned are as good as any at this point, but I'm still looking forward to finding out.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I think that there is a chance that the Witches who 'die' on the road actually aren't dead. In the promos, I remember seeing an image of Jennifer coming up out of the ground like an attractive zombie- maybe that was her coming back at the end of the road? And all the others who 'die' will as well?

[@Hinoema01]

PS: Agatha's mother could be the name in the open pentacle title credit card.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That would be cool if the witches don't die but instead "claw their way out" of the road, similar to Agatha clawing her way out of the spell. And yeah, Agatha's mother could indeed be that open pentacle in the title card. Nice call!

16:55 By this point, Wanda was aware of the hex. We also got translations for this at some point but I forgot what they were, it had something to do with Brazilian subtitles or dub I don’t remember

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh, that’s cool… I’ll have to check and see if there are some subtitles somewhere that translated the song. But I’m not sure Wanda was aware of the hex at this point, because this was in episode 3 when she still seem confused by everything.

[@Miscellaneous_Minx]

2:55 If Rio _wasn’t_ disguised as Sharon, I’d assume the portal opened when it did because the Salem seven (a stronger coven) and their nearby power essentially turned the key to open the door since Agatha’s coven put the key in with the song

[@danielwestwood5505]

I don't think Rio is Sharon. In episode 2 when Agatha sings the ballad in the beginning she sings the phrase " gather sisters fire, water, earth and air. " Agatha points with the stick she uses to ring the bell at Alice when she sings fire, Jennifer when she sings water and Lilia she points and sings air. The stick is down when she sings Earth. These not only point to what trials each will do but shows Sharon is not Rio. Rio is THE earth witch and most likely will do the earth trial. If Sharon was Rio then Agatha would have pointed at her during the song.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, one of the biggest things I want answered is how they opened that door. I could see it being the Salem seven or it could be that they explain that it was somehow Rio, even though we didn’t see her in the room. But I do suspect we’ll get that answer because it seems like a really big question hanging out there.

Thanks! It's been so much fun to consider all the different theories about the show!

[@akatsukiowned]

Love the content, man! Keep cooking!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Thanks so much...really appreciate the awesome support!

[@jk5kwastaken]

Do you make the visuals as a slideshow and record them live or do you add in the visuals while editing??

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great question! So I capture the visuals and then put together a PowerPoint slideshow which I then convert over to PDF and record with OBS. Definitely not too sophisticated but as you can probably tell from the videos, I put a lot of the time into the research and analysis and the gathering of all of the images, and then the video itself is more low-key and fact-based. Definitely not as exciting as some of the other KZbinrs that have a lot more moving visuals, but this style works well for me with my semi-autistic brain that wants everything to be really organized. I always do fear it puts people to sleep though. Lol! Thanks for asking!

[@jk5kwastaken]

@@AbitofEverything4U that’s what I suspected but it must take you so long to make the PowerPoints they are really good and detailed

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yes, I spend a lot of time on both the initial research and on grabbing the visuals that go with the research. But it really helps me organize my thoughts while I’m doing it, so it’s worth the effort in the end.

[@BlackHedgehog]

That first theory about Rio is ... interesting. I was gonna dismiss that second theory but then you brought up that (IMO) infamous hand lick. I do wholeheartedly agree with the Rio being Hart thing, been calling that for a while. I can see the argument against it but remember Rio was fully aware of Agatha's agency being taken away which who knows what else Rio did that we don't know about yet. Also the whole them going down could be related to the song that literally says "down the witches' road" which could be taken in either context. The Tarot stuff is so fascinating to me. The idea that Teen casted the Sigil is really interesting yeah. That last one I think is a resounding YES.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Glad you liked those theories… I think the people that leave comments on the breakdowns come up with some fantastic ideas and so I wanted this video to be a way to recognize all of those really cool theories!

[@MsRikkiTikki1]

“Alice don’t-” “Don’t what?” “Try to save Agatha!” Brain explosion 🤯😱 I really like your Teen Sigil theory! I think that’s where I’m at, too. Either Wanda hastily put the sigil on him, or he put it on himself. And your theory has much more bite to it! I have a feeling the next episode will open on what happens on the other side of that quicksand mud. Maybe they will find Mrs. Hart’s purse! 😂 I’m still really curious what that room Agatha and Teen are sitting in the trailer. With the overhead lights? Also did your jaw drop like mine did at the end of this episode?! Lastly maybe I’m the minority here, but I felt a little sad that Agatha didn’t have a good redemption this episode. There was so much possibility for her to turn a new leaf and do ONE good thing. I hate to see her be that evil witch everybody says she is. I think she has more depth than that! I really believe her when she says the power sucking thing is involuntary, too.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, that latest episode was a shock ending. My word...what is going on! Can't wait to see where things pick up in the next episode. And I agree, I was so hoping Agatha would have a redemptive moment. But things may get much worse before they get better for her. Poor Agatha!

[@evardmcintosh8722]

A thought with Rio. Why was she in Westview at the time? We know when the coven first meets her she says that she heard they were having a party and that she was in the neighborhood.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Right...I really want to know more about what Rio was up to right before she was summoned!

[@Amnlkigd]

2:35 - Referring to campfire scene where she said she didn’t have a choice - maybe, if she is the one who causes the injury, even fatal, she can heal it? If it’s not caused by her, she DOESN’T have the choice but to ferry them over.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh, now that's a cool theory. I like that!

[@Amnlkigd]

@@AbitofEverything4U thanks! Also 18:12, makes sense - this would be the one thing Wanda (could have) taught Agatha

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Agreed!

[@Klaital1]

I think it's pretty obvious the castle in the background on Lilia's card is the fairy tale castle where her trial takes place (which they showed several shots of in the trailers).

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Agreed! That is definitely a reference to that castle from the Wizard of Oz episode. What I just found interesting is the image they chose to use for the castle is the exact image from a separate tarot card. So perhaps Lilia is represented by two different tarot cards, which is pretty cool!

[@Aeis_Arcade]

@5:11 "Down, down, down the road. Down the Witch's road". Yeah they're basically traveling to "Hell". I don't think they will say "Hell", but it would be awesome if Mephisto appears.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I really hope we get a Mephisto sighting...would be soooo epic!

[@p2_40]

Also, I think Teen’s tarot card is the magician which is shown in the end credits. He’s always trying to unite everyone which is represented in the magician card where there are symbols related to cups, swords, wands, and pentacles. Also there’s also a pentagram on the magician card which could be connected to that scene in the trailers where teen is standing on top of a pentagram.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I am really wondering if that magician card is gonna come into play in a big way. I could see it being Teen because it really does fit in several different regards!

[@p2_40]

@@AbitofEverything4U I love how in today’s ep, he mentioned how they needed to be more unified haha.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, that sure didn't last for long! lol!

[@yourspanishlullaby]

17:05 This last theory about seeing Agatha’s mother again got me thinking. Originally, I assumed Evanora would return in Salem flashbacks, but from the clips we’ve seen of that time, Agatha has the brooch, meaning that Evanora is dead. I haven’t read the comics, but if Wanda meeting her mother on The Road is a huge part of that story, what if in this show, Evanora walked The Road? There’s been a lot of speculation that Agatha never really walked The Road before because of some of the vague answers she’s given when asked about it. But WHAT IF, as a child, Agatha accidentally hurt or killed someone with her siphon powers, and Evanora chose to walk The Road with her to try to rid Agatha of this dangerous magic, thinking it a curse? It would explain why Agatha’s answers about The Road are so vague - she was a kid and wasn’t the one being subjected to the trials. And it would explain her one-finger answer to Alice - the other witch who made it to the end with her was her mother. So then, just as Wanda meets her mother in the comics, Agatha comes across Evanora toward the end of The Road and comes to a realization about her mother that helps Agatha heal both as a daughter and a mother. She forgives herself for whatever happened to Nicky and is able to move forward as a mentor figure to Teen. Maybe? LOL

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That’s a really cool way to bring in Agatha‘s mother. Yeah I am thinking more and more that we’re gonna see her mother, and that would be wild if she was actually with Agatha on that earlier journey down the road. Very creative theory!

[@kas2449]

i assume when rio says ‘i was in the neighbourhood’ and ‘i heard you guys were having a party’ lead more into the face that rio is death than pretending to be mrs heart the whole time. She could’ve heard they were having a party directly from mrs heart when coming to collect her soul, as well as being in the neighbourhood to collect that soul. idk thoe

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I think those are great theories. I’m honestly only 50-50 on the idea that Rio is Sharon. I can’t wait to find out the answer as things move along!

[@NightAtTheOpera3]

4:54 Sharon could have died by successfully being sucked into the bog, after which Rio took her form, sold the deception with phony cries for help, went on to "die" as Sharon, then faking her own summoning (now as herself).

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That’s a cool theory about how Sharon and Rio could swap. I just think something sneaky‘s been going on between those two. Love all the clever mysteries in this show!

[@thisyearsboy333]

This isn’t so much a prediction but an observation. I’ve been listening to the sacred chant a lot and the lyrics keep getting to me. “Gather sisters fire water earth and air” sounds like they are to get these things but it’s actually saying to bring together a witch to represent each element. “I hold death’s hands in mine” refers to Rio/death having to come along on the trip. “Familiar by my side” refers to teen. He’s not a member of the coven but a familiar. A familiar aides a witch in their craft much like he has in the last two trials prompting the start of the trials and helping find solutions. “The road is wild and wicked” and all the stuff about bad being good and wrong being right makes me think the road and the glory offered by it is actually negative and the coven will need to come together to escape it. It will take Agatha to realize she needs the coven more than the power and to realize she needs to be more of a mentor/mother figure like she is in the comics.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very cool insight on the ballad’s lyrics. I love all those theories. The show has really got us thinking about so many different possibilities. Can’t wait to see where things head from here!

[@Rosefivethousandluffy]

The witch trail when being torn and tested to be held on trauma to releash their anger as a power up.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I like that idea!

[@WonderNurseSarah]

5:38 If nothing else, I think it is another tie to the song- literally “down, down, down we go.”

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, if it’s perfectly with the song!

[@RusianSpy]

I try not to theorize too much in the middle of a show, but shows like this do really seem to encourage it. I have come up with one, that being if Agatha did actually go down the Witch's Road, she met Mephisto and made a deal with him there (probably for the Darkhold, which is how she learned her absorption power), but he waited to collect until Nicholas was born years (decades? centuries?) later.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I like that theory! Yeah, that makes it all the more tragic to consider that Agatha thought maybe Mephisto wasn’t gonna collect and then finally he came and took her baby!

[@johnosmiar9678]

There is a shot in the Agatha all along trailer where Rio can be seen walking with a black dress with fire burning the house of Agatha in the background. I think that Rio finds out Teen is Billie and is trying to claim his soul after they get transported out of the witches road. Which happens by the ground spitting the tested withches out like how we see Jennifer in the trailer. And Agatha and Rio will end up fighting because she doesn’t want her to take him away like she did Nicholas. But since it’s Rio’s job as Lady Death, she will continuously pursue Teen until she is somehow stopped in the finale.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Those are great theories! Yeah… I really think things are gonna come down to Agatha and Rio fighting over Billy’s soul!

[@vogglingcharlievsadamhotel]

Rio has a job in her mind. Maybe she has something to chase with wiccan trying to pull of the sigil if one of the witches aren't the crafter of the spell.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, Rio definitely is playing chess while the coven is playing checkers. Can't wait to learn what she's been planning!

[@moobloom-c3s]

it was kinda funny watching this after ep5

[@AbitofEverything4U]

ikr? Those were some good theories!

[@pamelaloftis4097]

A lot of great theories here. I agree that Rio is Lady Death. I do think it is also possible that Wanda invertedly cast the sigil with the Sokovian lullaby. Since Billy could feel when his father was in trouble, he must have had a soul. In the MCU, if you don't see a body...

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great feedback… I agree I loved those theories and can’t wait to see how everything turns out as the show moves along!

[@Danflave]

I am not sure if you mentioned this in a previous video, but the fact that Jen is a rootworker is actually quite notable. Rootwork is African American folk magic, and rootworkers are traditional healers and practitioner of this magic. It is also known as "Hoodoo" and originated in the early American South.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh! So that may tie into things as well. Wow, Jen has a really interesting backstory and I can’t wait to see how it all ends up!

[@grecia_gs]

I feel so embarrassed to see my comment on the video, but thank you so much for that, you made my day hahaha I love the theories but especially the one about Alice. I'm thinking that maybe the road wants to only just a few make it to the end, so if Alice had already heal her trauma maybe the road wouldn't kill her but instead "rejected" her like "You have your wish now you can get out", how the road work it's very interesting, I'm hoping to see more about the "history" of the road. I'm so excited for tomorrow, I'm sure that more theories are yet to come 😂

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Your theory was great! I was really happy to include it. And yeah, that would be cool if the road just made you leave once you got out of it what you were supposed to get out of it. Can’t wait to learn more tomorrow!

[@sourdaisies]

In the trailer there is a shot of Jen (I believe) seemingly having just crawled/dug her way out of the ground in what looks like the “real world”. Maybe once the road is done with you/you have learned what you needed it sends you back safely??

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That would be great… As I would love for all of them to survive!

[@of7551]

I’m currently thinking the road gives you what you need/want through your trial. The blood witch got information about her mums history and got rid of her generational curse. Sounds like she got what she came for. What is she going to be rewarded now I wonder.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, that’s a good question… Was getting rid of the demon her reward or does she have another reward awaiting? We’ll have to find out!

[@of7551]

There’s footage of the blood witch and the potions witch popping out of the earth. I think they get what they came for. I think the potions witch has to overcome her trauma, I don’t believe she was bounded without magic, she bounded herself mentally because of what the doctor did to her.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree… It sure seems like it’s her trauma that’s holding her back.

[@markdarc0448]

Man all these theories are so cool, it’s like wandavision all over again, except hopefully a bit more accurate. While I don’t believe some of these to be true I’m 100% convinced that Rio is death and that Teen is Wiccan. Can’t wait for more details

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree… All these theories are so much fun. It does feel like the WandaVision days… And Jac Schaeffer has made it sound like she’s been very careful to make sure to pay off all of the different teases this time around.

[@tattedupluv]

Maybe the black smudges on his fingers were from creating the sigil spell, if Teen really is the one who cast it.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good theory!

[@Sage-km5je]

After seeing the season finale that ended with Jen ending up in Westview and then heading off, I believe that scene is paving the way for a potential appearance from her in Midnight Sons being where she'll show up next.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I love the idea of Jen appearing in the Midnight Sons!

[@Sage-km5je]

Same. I'm also thinking that a project like this could be where Doctor Voodoo finally makes his live action debut (Surpised he didn't appear sooner in Multiverse of Madness, though. I'm pretty sure he was even rumored to make his live action debut there.)

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, we need his character to appear for sure!

[@ryangarner7721]

I wonder if TEEN doesn’t get recruited by Cassie, Kate, or Kamala by the end of this series, might he be under the protectionor tutelage of Agatha? In the comics, one of the things Agatha is highly regarded for is being watching over kids - sometimes Billy and Tommy a little, but usually Franklin Richards. That or, maybe she will help future witches the way she sometimes guides Wanda in the comics.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I bet that Teen gets recruited for the young avengers and it would be interesting if he was actually under the tutelage of Agatha at that point!

[@chadwickmyers7226]

Also on the note of the exits always being a downward descent the ballad does say, DOWN, DOWN, DOWN the road about a million times maybe we took that at face value when it was meant to be a more literal hint! I'm also interested in how they leave the road? is it a normal door back do they all just suddenly find themselves back in her basement. Does the road deteriorate around them and leave them back in reality. I hadn't noticed all the exits were downwards but now I'm very intrigued

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great point! Yeah, the concept of "down" continues to come up and the song definitely drives that home!

[@attila0323]

Rio being Mrs. Hart is the theory I hope not true. But for some actual counterpoints: - They behave too differently, so unless Rio "forgets" who she is when shapeshifting, that doesn't fit really well... for me at least. - Rio is presumably Death, so her job is to collect bodies (or souls?) and she was in the neighbor to collect Sharon's, so they are different characters. - Agatha mentioned that they only needed all the witches to open the door, then the less they are, the more power they get. Now she told Rio that she expected her later, like she was planning to kill the other witches, but Sharon's not being a real witch or their mistake made Death come earlier.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very good points! Yeah, I’m only 50-50 on the Rio is Sharon theory. I’m totally cool if that doesn’t end up being the case. Either way I just love all these mysteries and can’t wait to see how everything turns out!

[@richardchisenhall387]

If teen is hiding from other witches on his own, I'd say it's probably so he can prove himself and not be the nepo baby of the Scarlet witch, he says he's looking for power and he wants to earn it by following the rules and being a good witch

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good theory!

[@TangentialTif]

18:14 I think people don’t consider how often children used to die of illness or other natural causes. I think Nicholas died and that’s when Agatha went after dark magick to bring him back. Or wild card theory, there never was a Nicholas and she was promised a baby by a dark wizard or something and Nicholas is the ghost of what she never got. I know episode 5 kind of makes this not work unless someone is just taunting her.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good theories! Yeah, I can’t wait to find out what really happened to Nicholas. I think that’s the key to understanding Agatha’s character.

[@attila0323]

18:45 - another thought, or notice. I suspect that Teen will not heal Agatha's loss, more like the opposite. In the last scene in episode 4 after Rio told her that Teen is not hers, Agatha kinda smirked (even the music got a little darker) AND Rio did a long blink and swallowed as she knows Agatha is planning something really bad. Or just that Agatha doesn't care about Teen anymore, loosing the only goodness in her. Which fits in the "Was Rio the one that injured Teen?" theory. Maybe Agatha traded her son for the Darkhold because she cared about him and didn't want to hurt him, not knowing Death will take him (why Rio's scar is Agatha), and they broke up not just because of this, but Rio (Death, who should be neutral and taking souls is just her job) didn't see any good in Agatha...but this is probably just gibberish, except that last scene with smirk and swallow.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

You’re right, that smirk and swallow are interesting indeed. Yeah, it will be very revealing to see how Agatha treats Teen in the next episode. Thanks for sharing your theory!

[@theinfernus9912]

My theory about Rio being Death is that she had to take away the soul of Nicholas, so that's why she say that Aghata is her scar. She said that she had to do something that was her job but it hurted a person she loved. So her is death, so she HAD to collect Nicholas's soul and hurted Agatha like that. The only problem with this theory is that Agatha has still the doubt of her son being dead or alive(instead if it was taken away from death she would know)

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, I agree...I suspect Rio had to take away Nicholas and that's why Agatha is her scar. Great theory!

[@camilomejia3438]

From what I've read about the leaks, in episode 2 we saw that the Salem 7 entered the house, there are easily 7 of them, and none of them attacked Teen, only one "tried" to grab him but not harm him, the Salem 7 want Teen to worship him like the Scarlet Witch, they know he's the reincarnation of the Demiurge, Teen's boyfriend is working with Rio, I would believe that Rio or the boyfriend put the sigil on Teen The pentacle refers to Billy and how all this involves him, Billy in the comics has been seen as forming a pentacle on his feet when he conjures a spell

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Wow… I hadn’t even considered that Teen’s boyfriend might be in on all of this. Those are some pretty cool theories!

[@Nickferal]

I just figure out thanks to you: Jen lacks confidence (she is bound by fear), Lilia lacks a functioning brain (her power manifesting as a tourette-like condition), Agatha lacks a heart (the three of swords, her son, Rio, etc.), and teen needs to go home (sort of). It feels like it. That's an obvious reference or clue to something. Maybe only those 4 will get something from the road?

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I like that way of viewing each member of the coven. They each have an unmet need that hopefully the road will give them!

[@deranged_miyeon_stan]

8:46 the symbol on Death’s card (the one on the lower right corner) is the sigil that Teen has

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great point… Yeah, that’s where the signature of the original artist would normally be… So I wonder if that means that whoever put the sigil on Teen also created the cards?

[@deranged_miyeon_stan]

there is also one on the corner of Three of Swords. maybe its like an artist’s signature? whichever witch created the tarots signed it off with Teen’s sigil..

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Exactly! I’m pretty sure that symbol is on each of the Marvel tarot cards. Pretty cool!

[@TangentialTif]

5:42 it’s almost like they are going to”down, down, down the road”

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Exactly! It fits perfectly.

[@speeeee35]

I still think it’s gonna be something like where when she made the agreement for the dark hold she said she would be willing to give anything for it, not considering that that would include her child… And I think the scene where she hears the baby crying and pulls back the covers to find the book is what actually happened… And I think she was actually surprised. I don’t think it’s gonna be that she literally traded him… I think it’s going to be that she got so obsessed with power that she forgot that “willing to trade or do anything for it!” included her own son, and she can’t forgive herself for more or less, causing him to be taken from her because she forgot to consider him.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh now, that’s a very cool idea… Yeah, wouldn’t that be wild if she didn’t even mean to give up her son. What a cool twist!

[@realquadmoo]

In the first or second episode, Agatha calls Lillia a kook when she didn’t want to come with them to the road. I’m not quite sure it fits with the am i wispy or kooky thing but it’s interesting

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That is interesting! I wonder if that ties into it somehow.

[@attila0323]

For me the "going down" only made the song catchy, but the Hell theory with Mephisto could be a huge thing I never thought about. In the comics the Witches' Road is a different dimension which is ruled by the Goddess of Witchcraft (that I think it might be Wanda, and hoping she will appear in the last episode, but that's another theory)...and as far as I know it's "just" the road where monsters/demons are coming to test the witches, but it can be different for everyone? Not sure, but this made me think that what if the road is actually not the Witches' Road? It was created by Mephisto and Rio (Death) opened it? She could have been close.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That’s a really interesting theory… I hadn’t considered that the road might actually be a trap created by Rio and Mephisto!

[@attila0323]

@@AbitofEverything4U Me neither, but if they are "going down" because it's hell, then it's not the actual road (if they are sticking to the comics with the road).

[@AbitofEverything4U]

💯

[@yourmememaam8978]

I am writing this theory when I have only watched episodes 1-4. Will edit if I get anything right. My theory is that Wanda fully manifested Billy and Tommy out of chaos magic, and after she dissolved the hex, their souls were lost and aimless. They were then found by Mephisto, who wanted to actualise them into real beings to use later on. He placed Billy’s soul inside of the body of Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch. Jen did say that there was a theory that Agatha’s kid was now a agent of Mephisto, and Teen mentioned that something bad happened to him when he was 13, which could be the age he was when Agatha sold him off. Of course, Agatha did hallucinate a baby crib and crying sounds, but the bedroom she has in her house wasn’t a nursery, more typical of an older child. This would also line up with the timeframe, because his body would be 13, and Agatha All Along takes place 3 years after WandaVision, which would make him 16, which Teen says is his age. Now, I don’t really know why Mephisto would hide him? Maybe just to let him manifest his abilities on his own? Grow resentment towards Wanda that he could exploit? I don’t know, just thought it was a fun theory.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Very cool theory! I think that makes alot of sense. Can't wait to see where the series goes from here!

[@MegaloBlazemon]

I love this show because it's like a game of Chess, so many players on the board. Two players that have kind of vanished tho are the Mailman in the book stacks, telling her cryptically that every copy was destroyed, like, even if Agatha was overlaying stuff on people, I wonder what the reality of that exchange was, was he really there? Is the Mailman really a human? The other being I'm wondering the whereabouts of are Senor Scratchy, Teen had him in his arms when the Salem 7 Arrived, but he did not bring Senor Scratchy into the Witch's Road. Presumably Senor Scratchy was left in the house with the Salem 7/is possibly now being kept by them. I also low-key hope we see the Salem 7 do a musical number and show what it looks like when they open the gate to the Witch's road, that'd be cool, maybe even a different type of gate since there's 7 of them.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good point about senior scratchy… Yeah, he just kind of vanished. Kinda wild to think that he’s hanging back with the Salem seven… Cause that’s not gonna end well! Maybe he gets rescued by the mailman… Bringing everything together!

[@najtrows]

I've been thinking about Rio telling Agatha that "he's not yours" which could mean so many different things. If we just take it at face value that she means he isn't Nicholas and doesn't have Nicholas soul or anything.. how could she be so sure? She must now more about him or his fate to be able to tell Agatha that. Does she have the power to read souls or something thanks to being death (and green witch which is probably life aswell.) or does she know where Nicholas/his soul is? Or does she know who Teen is? I thought it was very interesting that Rio and Teen kind of appear at the same time when she offers Agatha pizza and he goes to steal something from her, while Rio almost seems to make a diversion. Did they work together? Is he playing innocent and is actually using the coven to get his own purpose fulfilled? Teen has acted kind of bossy in some aspects when needed. Or does he have more than one soul/mind in him? So many cool things to think about. Rio could also have meant "he does not belong to you anymore but it was your child" when saying "he is not yours". I think that Agatha might have done a deal where she did not realize her son was the currency and Rio as Death had to collect for Mephisto or whoever ran that deal. I really don't think Agatha gave her sons soul away just to get the darkhold. I very much think she hides behind rumors about her and let people think she is worse than she might be. She is just a survivor with a hard shell thanks to trauma.. maybe. I really don't want Agatha to regress and be "evil" again in this show. I hope she evolves and maybe even helps teach Teen or be the nanny for Fantastic Fours kids in the future :D

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Those are some really cool theories about Rio and Teen. I am so curious to see how they fit into Agatha story!

[@dreamlord911]

As far as Lilia's divinations, there is another we got in episode 4. Randomly in episode 3, she bursts out and says "I love you guys." In episode 4 near the end she makes the comment along the lines of "You know, we couldn't stand each other at first but now..." And she trails off, the rest of the sentence having been meant to say 'but now I love you guys.'

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Yeah, those two are pretty cool… I’m gonna bet they’re gonna be connected when they appear in the future episode!

[@droupscoup]

The show is surprisingly good. Like SURPRISINGLY. I wouldn't necessarily say i was expecting it to be bad or anything but it exceeded my expectations. It is the only MCU project this year that has made me actually feel something can't lie. Not saying DP3 or Echo were bad but they were fleeting. This on tbe other hand, i can see myself rewatching.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree...been such a great series so far. I suspect it will be even better upon rewatch as we understand how all the hints and clues fit together!

[@metzgerdewsky]

I can't stop thinking about the triple goddess on the locket, and Agatha's response to it. Pawn shop guy: "Mother, Maiden, and Crone" Agatha: "What? No working professional?". It feels like so much of Agatha's story revolves around the denial of these archetypes. Her motherhood was exchanged for the Darkhold, that one's easy. I see her maidenhood being wrapped up with Rio Vidal: they clearly have some sort of history that both of them want so bad to rekindle, but they can't. There's something keeping her from being able to just be a lover with Rio Vidal. Another option for Maiden is her Salem days, but I don't feel like there's enough there to talk about. Finally there's the crone. The crone archetype and the witch archetype are very intertwined so her mere lack of power is a deniel of her Crone identity, but I think there's more. Crones' big thing is sight: they're very keen to the situation, and this level of foresight and wisdom is what makes them powerful. This stands in extreme contrast to Agatha's 3 years in Westview as Agnes. She was completely seperated from the truth, blinded and living in a dreamscape seperate from reality.

Very good theories! Yeah, I’ve been wondering how the maiden, mother, crone all tie in together with the series. I think what you’ve laid out makes a lot of sense and would be very cool!

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

In the trailers and (leaked?) images for episode 5, Alice seems to be wearing yellow t-shirt and attacking Agatha, who is possessed. That may be what her Tarot card means (as the soldier wears yellow and attacking). And may be in line with Lilia's line "Try to save Agatha" and "Alice, don't!" Many on social media are concerned this act will take Alice out of the picture. 😢 Also, possible spoiler, but the behind the scene featurette showed only Agatha, Teen, and Jen walking together. Later on, the "Who gets there first is a nice person" is just Agatha and Teen. So, we probably should expect that to happen. But on the upside, Debra Jo Rupp asked an interviewer "Which episode you saw", and then somehow hinted Sharon still shows up after episode 4. And I think Agatha saying Thanks to Rio after Jen healed Teen's wound was because Rio waited until Jen could save him, instead of taking him right away for her duty as Death.

Great feedback! Yeah, those are some very good reasons to be worried about Alice. I’m thinking the number of witches may continue to get smaller as things go along. It will be sad to see them getting picked off if that happens. Although maybe somehow we see them all return at the end. Can’t wait to see how this all turns out!

17:30 maybe she told "Mother, please" because she knew she will kill her? She could have known that she will just absorb their magical power, eventually killing them.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

That’s a great question… Each time I watch that scene I’m trying to figure out if she is truly afraid that she’s going to die… Or if she’s playing the long game and knows that she’ll be able to absorb their powers if they use them against her. It’s so well acted that you really could take either interpretation!

[@attila0323]

@@AbitofEverything4U "playing the long game" like in the second episode of AAA when Lilia told the others that she just brought them here to steal their power, never actually wanted to open the door.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Good point!

[@richardchisenhall387]

If Rio is death, she could've been puppeting Mrs Hart (Sharon Davis), there was a mention that Mr Davis passed in the intervening years, but what if they both did? I'll have to look again but I don't think Sharon talks to anyone in town outside Agatha in this show

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh wow...now that would be wild if Mrs. Hart has been dead for years!

[@lloydparsons4123]

Have to admit, I like but not love the series so far but at the same time, your excitement and channel are totally awesome, mostly still watching intently for the appearance of Mephisto.. especially if it’s Sasha Baron Cohen. A dream casting I really hope is true. Keep doing what you’re doing .. your videos are awesome.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree… I’m really hoping we get a Mephisto appearance by Sasha Baron Cohen. He will be so incredible in that role! And thank you so much for the kind words about the channel and for keeping up with the videos during the series. I have been loving breaking the series down so far!

[@Klaital1]

I expect the next episode to be the sleepover episode with the ouija board, which is probably the earth trial. And after that we get the air trial which is the faerie tale castle with all the witch costumes.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

I agree… I’m betting it’s the possession episode, followed by the Wizard of Oz episode!

[@BenjaminMosher]

i don’t know if this means anything, but when each one of the coven were poisoned we saw their actual visions except for mrs hart, maybe they just didn’t want to include elizabeth olsen for such a short scene but it could be rio just lying, she seems to be very well informed about what’s happened in westview, she knew wanda left with the darkhold and trapped agatha in a spell

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Great point! We don't actually see Mrs. Hart's hallucination and then she conveniently faints on the couch. Yeah, those are some good indications that it was Rio!

[@Tbird1215]

Might be a bit farfetched, but at the D23 Fortnite presentation, Kevin Feige said "games have become an extension of our storytelling" because the skins they add are how many people learn about the characters for the first time. They just announced that Mephisto would be added to the game with a feature to make bargains with him in exchange for your health. I think Mephisto will show up regardless, but this could connect to how Kevin views the relationship between Marvel and Epic.

[@AbitofEverything4U]

Oh, that’s cool… I didn’t realize Mephisto was gonna show up in Fortnite. Sure would be great if he showed up in this series as well!

[@jeremymorris345]

It was Rio all along!

[@AbitofEverything4U]

We really do need a Rio rendition of that song!
