Agatha All Along is heating up as we reach the midpoint of the season, and Episode 5 delivered a mix of heartbreak and revelations.
Teen’s Identity Revealed: The episode places a spotlight on Billy Kaplan, confirming his identity as Wiccan in dramatic fashion. His trial outfit, the magical azure energy swirling around him, and the ominous crown he dons all point to his true nature. Agatha’s biting remark, “you’re so much like your mother,” solidifies that Billy is indeed the son of the Scarlet Witch, and his arc will undoubtedly be pivotal moving forward.
Alice’s Sacrifice: In a shocking turn, Alice sacrifices herself while trying to defend the coven against Agatha. Possessed by her malevolent mother, Evanora Harkness, Alice unleashes powerful magic only to be drained of her life force by Agatha. While Agatha claims it was an accident, the skepticism from other characters hints at a more complex truth. Some viewers are split on whether Agatha’s intentions were truly malicious or if she genuinely didn’t mean to harm Alice.
As the plot thickens, viewers are speculating on Billy’s possible orchestration of Agatha’s downfall. The black marks on Agatha’s hand after Alice’s death echo those seen on Billy earlier in the series, suggesting a connection to Darkhold magic. Given that Billy possesses mind-control abilities, there’s speculation that he may have inadvertently or intentionally pushed Alice to attack Agatha, fitting into a broader scheme to navigate the Witches’ Road and possibly resurrect his mother.
Agatha’s powers seem to be a double-edged sword. When she is hit with magic, her instinct to absorb it could trigger an uncontrollable siphoning effect, causing harm to those around her. This theme of power as both a gift and a curse is central to Agatha’s character and her struggles.
With four episodes remaining, the loose ends are piling up. Viewers are eager to see how the tension between Agatha and Billy unfolds, especially as Alice’s fate remains ambiguous. Interestingly, IMDb indicates that Alice, portrayed by Ali Ahn, appears in eight of the nine episodes, suggesting her story may not be over just yet. Fans can rest assured that Alice’s journey is still in play, potentially setting the stage for more twists ahead.
Agatha All Along is streaming on Disney Plus, with new episodes releasing every Wednesday until the two-part finale on October 30. The anticipation is building for how these storylines will resolve and what lies ahead for our favorite characters!
