Agatha All Along a conclu son indispensable première saison avec des épisodes captivants qui explorent les origines d’Agatha Harkness et les pouvoirs de Billy. L’intrigue, parsemée de rebondissements et de mystères, fait douter de l’identité du véritable méchant. Dans le final, les relations compliquées entre les personnages, ainsi que des thèmes de perte et de quête de pouvoir, sont mis en avant, laissant la porte ouverte à de futures histoires de Marvel et aux retrouvailles potentielles des frères Billy et Tommy.
Agatha All Along concluded its first season on Wednesday with a memorable road trip that captivated audiences. This Marvel spin-off, filled with magical intrigue, transitioned from a quirky, slow-burn narrative to a thrilling and satisfying finale. The closing episodes unveiled the origins of Agatha Harkness as a malevolent witch and explored Billy’s supernatural abilities, prompting us to speculate about new character developments and storylines.
At the outset, the identity of the true antagonist was anyone’s guess: Mephisto, Salem Seven, Wanda Maximoff, Rio, Agatha, or Agatha’s mother? The series delighted us with its clever misdirections and the numerous Easter eggs meticulously placed by showrunner Jac Schaeffer and her team throughout the episodes. With the losses suffered on the Witches’ Road and Lilia’s tragic sacrifice during that remarkable tarot-themed episode, we are left questioning who the real menace is. While Agatha’s selfish behavior made her seem sinister all along, Rio, representing Death, offered a surprising twist.
As we approached the two-part finale, only three witches from the coven and Rio remained. Billy grieves for his brother Tommy, while Agatha’s thirst for power intensifies. The series’ intricate twists, lunar cycles, and complex family relationships left us pondering who the central figure on the Witches’ Road is: Billy Kaplan/Maximoff, Agatha, Jennifer, or Rio? And more importantly, which witch would have her deepest wish fulfilled?
Let’s dive into the final two episodes of Agatha All Along: Follow Me My Friend/To Glory at the End and Maiden Mother Crone. Beware of spoilers if you haven’t yet watched the finale on Disney Plus.
Growth Lights, Wiccan Glory, and the Kiss of Death
One undeniable truth emerges: Billy is very much his mother’s son. In episode eight, Jen, Billy, and Agatha find themselves awakening in a morgue, emerging from body bags with their belongings alongside them. Bright grow lights illuminate the space, but there’s a catch: the lights switch off as the witches display growth. Jennifer realizes that Agatha stole and imprisoned her powers a century ago, leading to her reclaiming them. Once she disappears, only Billy and Agatha remain, embarking on a psychic journey to locate Tommy. We discover that a fragment of Tommy’s soul has found its way into another boy who is near death. Tommy is reincarnated in this boy, somewhere out there, while Billy vanishes, creating a fissure in the floor.
Agatha yearns for her turn to wish upon a star. Within her cameo locket is a strand of Nicholas’ hair and a sprout. She plants this sprout in the dirt from the crack, pleading for more time. A dandelion blooms and subsequently withers, causing the room to begin collapsing. Just in time, she breaks through a cellar door, only to face a confrontation with Death, intent on claiming her life through torture.
Billy interrupts their clash, donning his full Wiccan attire and utilizing his powers to assist Agatha. However, she betrays him to Death as promised and walks away. Shocked, he communicates with her psychically, questioning whether this was what transpired with Nicky, her son. In a moment of introspection, she turns, kisses Death, and perishes amidst swirling black mist, her decayed form transforming into a lush bed of purple flowers. This moment echoes Wanda’s journey, particularly in the Multiverse of Madness, revealing that Agatha is also a mourning mother burdened by guilt over her child’s demise.
Upon returning to his Westview home, Billy realizes that he fashioned the Witches’ Road through his imagination. Hints of this were scattered throughout the series: the Wizard of Oz memorabilia, a concert poster for Lorna Wu, a vision board, and a flashback to Agatha’s wink when she remarked, « Didn’t think you had it in you, » alongside Lilia’s encouragement of his reality-shaping abilities. Like Wanda/Scarlet Witch, Billy possesses the power to alter reality, and an unfamiliar voice startles him, resonating eerily like Agatha’s.
Agatha and Little Nicolas Scratch
The final episode, Mother Maiden Crone, unveils the roots of Agatha’s thirst for power. As she prepares to give birth to Nicolas Scratch, Death comes to collect her, but she begs for time. For now, she is spared, but the specter of Death looms large. In a desperate bid to extend her time with her son, she resorts to killing other witches. Agatha’s years of stealing powers leave a dark legacy, which Nicolas witnesses, inspiring him to
