Warning! This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along.
The return of Scarlet Witch to the MCU has become much more likely now Agatha all along Killed one of the most popular theories about Joe Locke’s teen. There have already been some big reveals in it Agatha all alongs four episodes so far, including the circumstances through which Agatha obtained the Darkhold. In passing the witches’ road, the witch coven assembled by Agatha has already hit a significant speed bump after the death of Sharon Davis, leading to the arrival of her replacement (and an actual green witch): Rio Vidal.
Little is currently known about Rio Vidal, although episode 4, entitled “If I can’t reach you / Let my song teach you“, offered a few more clues. The fractious chemistry between Rio and Agatha heavily hinted at a past romance between the two, while Rio’s comments about her “Work“And quickly arriving after Sharon’s death is evidence that she may be an agent of death, or even death itself. What was clear, however, at the end of Agatha all along Episode 4 was Agatha’s relationship with Tin – at least, according to Rio.
Agatha all along just killed the theory Teen is Nicholas Krats
Rio Vidal tells Agatha “that boy is not yours.”
One of the biggest mysteries in Agatha all along surrounds Tin’s true identity, which he has been unable to elaborate on thanks to a seal placed on him. While Tin seems to be relatively candid about his history and has referred to his parents several times, One of the most convincing theories is that He is somehow Agatha’s son, Nicholas Krats. Agatha’s noticeably biased affection for Tin – which was on full display as Tin’s life was threatened at the end of Agatha all along Episode 4 – is the biggest hint that this is the case.
Agatha all along Episode 3 seemed to confirm that Agatha traded her son for the Darkhold, though she either regrets it or never wanted the deal judging by her visceral reaction to her vision of the Darkhold taking the place of a bowling baby. Her piety for Nicholas was also conveyed during her “Agnes of Westview“Witch-induced delusion as she gazes wistfully into an empty bedroom belonging to Nicholas. This focus on Agatha’s missing son and the circumstances surrounding his absence make it feel as if there will be some kind of payoff down the line.

Agatha’s suspicions about Tin, however, are overridden by the episode’s final line as Rio Vidal said “The boy is not yours.“ The claim came moments after Tin questioned Agatha about her son and seems to draw a line under the theory that Tin is Nicholas Scratch, or at least a vessel for his soul. If Rio is correct, it leaves another glaring answer to the question of Tin’s identity due to reason, and its validation comes with a significant implication.
Tin being Scarlet Witch’s son just got a lot more likely
If Tin isn’t Nicholas Krats, he’s more likely to be Billy Maximoff
The one theory more convincing than Tin being Nicholas Scratch is that he is actually Scarlet Witch’s son, Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan. Several hints that this is the case have cropped up throughout the show, including his magical ability (which is shown in trailer footage to resemble Wiccan’s blue magic), his sexuality and his age. The fact that the MCU is ready to introduce the Young Avengers, of which Wiccan is a founding member, also makes his introduction inevitable. Agatha all along Feels like the perfect place to do it.
Wanda’s sons, Billy and Tommy Maximoff, are core members of the Young Avengers in Marvel Comics. This is after their souls were retro-incarnated into the bodies of Billy Kaplan and Tommy Shepherd. This means that, despite being dispelled along with Wanda’s hex in WandaVision, There is still a great chance that Tin is Billy Kaplan and hosts the soul of Billy Maximoff. Whether Tin is aware of his true identity as Wanda’s son remains to be seen, but if true, it paves multiple paths to Scarlet Witch’s return to the MCU.
How Tin’s identity could lead to Scarlet Witch’s return
Learning of his heritage will spur Weak to resurrect his mother
The secrecy surrounding Tin is not clean with the seal placed on it. Despite professing to be traveling the Witches’ Road to support his magical powers, the fact that he was strong enough to break the Scarlet Witch’s hex in Agatha all along Episode 1 blames his supposed inexperience. instead, Tin may be well aware of his identity as Billy Maximoff, and intends to use the wish granted at the end of The Witch’s Path to resurrect his mother.
Alternatively, Marvel Studios may intend to keep Billy Kaplan in the dark about his identity until the Young Avengers first assemble, as is the case in Marvel Comics. Even if this happens, and Wiccan fails to capitalize on the magic of the witch’s path to resurrect Wanda, The promise of a reunion between Wanda and her children would be too strong of an opportunity for Marvel to pass up. Because Wiccan boasts a similar power set to his mother, it’s possible he could use his reality-warping talents to bring her back from the dead.
Now that the Lord of Hell, Mephisto, is confirmed to be a presence in the MCU, Wiccan and Speed ​​may be tempted to strike a hell of a deal to bring her back.
A third option surrounds a name-drop in Agatha all along Episode 3. Now that the Lord of Hell, Mephisto, is confirmed to be a presence in the MCU, Wiccan and Speed ​​may be tempted to strike a hellish deal to bring her back. The fact that Tin didn’t ask Mephisto’s name when it was mentioned by Jennifer Kale suggests that he was already aware of the highly powerful entity, after all. Whatever the case, should Tin learn about his true heritage, it seems entirely plausible that he will be the one to bring Wanda back by any means necessary.
