The finale of Agatha All Along took a dark turn with a twist that reframed Agatha’s actions and motives. The central twist reveals that the Witches Road, an essential path for witches in the series, was actually a myth created by Agatha and accidentally brought to life by Billy (Joe Locke). This revelation sheds a sinister light on Agatha’s intentions, showing that she planned to murder her coven from the beginning and manipulated events as they unfolded.

Agatha’s actions reveal a villainous nature, masked by her apparent self-sacrifice and strategic planning. Her manipulation even extends to her supposed allies; her deceit caused unnecessary deaths, like that of Alice, whom she drained of powers without hesitation. Lilia’s sacrifice and “Mrs. Hart’s” tragic end only serve Agatha’s schemes, exposing her disregard for human life in favor of her own survival. In a flashback, we learn that Agatha has killed numerous witches over the centuries, powered by an alliance with Death (played by Aubrey Plaza). Her sole redeeming quality appears to be her love for her son, Nicholas Scratch, whom she aims to shield from Death.

Agatha’s motives are left somewhat ambiguous, though it is suggested that she sacrifices covens to extend her life, possibly as part of a deal with Death. Death even implies that Agatha receives special privileges, underscoring the longevity of their arrangement. After her son Nick’s inevitable demise, Agatha’s motivations darken, and she becomes obsessed with power, seeking to live longer without concern for morality. Her desire for immortality ultimately distances her from her son, with Agatha haunted by shame at the prospect of meeting him in the afterlife.

This relationship with Death and her complex character make Agatha one of the MCU’s most nuanced villains. Interestingly, her dynamic with Death draws parallels to Thanos in the comics, who famously sought Death’s favor. In Agatha’s case, however, her relationship with Death goes deeper, as her son’s death triggers her descent into nihilism.

The question of Nicholas Scratch’s father remains unresolved, though it’s implied that Agatha created him “from scratch,” like Wanda’s conjuring of her twins. Death, as his second mother, may have had a role in Nick’s creation, explaining why he was destined to die young and why Death treated him kindly.

While Agatha All Along is a WandaVision spin-off, Agatha’s story may continue in the MCU series Vision Quest, where she could become a spirit guide for Billy as he searches for his twin. Billy, also known as “Wiccan,” shows signs of formidable power, hinting at future conflicts and choices that could mirror those of his mother, Wanda. Whether he will use his powers for good or risk falling into the same darkness remains to be seen.
