Tin’s sigil
Someone blocked Tin’s identity to all witches
As the coven heads down Witches Road, Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata) finally asks Tin (Joe Locke) who he really is. When he answers, the same magical effect happens and none of the witches can hear his name. This confirms that Agatha Harkness is not the only one blocked from knowing Tin’s true identity and history in Agatha all along.
As confirmed by Lilia Calderu (Patti Lupone), someone cast a spell/glamour to put a seal on Tin, blocking his presence and true identity to all witches. Naturally, this makes him all the more intriguing to the witches, although no indication is given as to who might have cast the sigil. Agatha promises her fellow witches that eventually they will figure it out once they continue down the road.

Amulets
Every Witch Has One (Not Just Agatha)
Eventually, the witches’ road turns to a sandy walkway that leads to a beach house by the sea. Walking through the front door, the entire coven of witches is surprised to discover that their clothing and appearances have been altered to match their new setting. However, they also find that each of them still has their amulet.
Not only does this confirm that every witch seemingly has their own amulet just like Agatha’s, but it also teases how important amulets must be to those practicing witchcraft in the MCU. To that end, it also makes the mystery of Agatha’s amulet/locket especially more interesting. This includes the mysterious lock of hair she keeps inside her, which is revealed in Agatha all along Premiere, and to whom it may belong.

Huge tiny lies
Agatha Episode 3 is a homepage to HBO’s Big Little Lies
Explore this luxurious new house by the sea, Mrs. Hart (Debra Jo Rupp) comments that it feels like the show “big little lies”. As such, this is more than likely a tongue-in-cheek reference on Marvel’s part Great Little LiesThe two-season series with Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Sheila Woodley, Laura Dern, Zoe Kravitz and Meryl Streep about a murder investigation. As such, the entire process itself Agatha all along Episode 3 feels like an homage to the HBO series (setting, costumes, and all).

“An Agent of Mephisto”
Mephisto is finally confirmed in the MCU
While the rest of the coven discuss the details of their first trial, Jennifer Hale talks to Tin in private, warning him to watch his back around Agatha. After all, Hale shares with Tin the stories about what Harkness supposedly did to her own son Nicholas Scratch who was teased in Agatha all along Premiere. According to the stories, it is said that Agatha apparently traded Scratch for her copy of the Darkhold. As dark as it is, these Real Shock and surprise are the rumors about what Scratch supposedly became in the afterlife: an agent of Mephisto.
It has been theorized by MCU fans all over windovision, Marvel Comics’ Mephisto is seemingly seen behind every shadow and bug that appears on the show, only for fans to ultimately be disappointed by the end when he never appears.
However, Marvel Studios has finally confirmed that Mephisto does indeed exist in the MCU. Although no one can say for sure, it was said that Agatha’s son might have become one of the Demon Lord’s agents (although he could also just die).

“She wouldn’t recognize her own son”
Is Tin Secretly Nicolas Krats?
Regardless of whether Nicholas Scratch is an agent of Mephisto or not, Jennifer also added that Agatha probably wouldn’t recognize her own son if he showed up on her doorstep. Naturally, the unspoken implication viewers are meant to consider is that Tin himself could somehow be Nicholas Scratch, as his identity remains a mystery. This would certainly be a big surprise, as all the prevailing clues and theories so far have pointed to Tin being Wanda’s reincarnated son, Billy Kaplan, aka Wiccan.
The other and arguably more likely option is that Nicholas Scratch will later be revealed as the leader of the Salem Seven who are currently hunting Agatha as seen in the first two episodes of the show. In the original Marvel Comics, the Salem Seven are the children of Scratch. As such, perhaps something along these lines will be revealed as Agatha all along Keep going.

“A lot happened to me at 13”
Tin was 13 during WandaVision
Tin also gets the chance to talk one-on-one with Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn) in Agatha all along Episode 3. Asking about the tattoo on her arm, the protection witch confirms that her mom got it to ward off curses when she was 13. Teen responds that a lot happened to him at 13 too. As Tin is currently 16, this is quite notable WandaVision Occurred three years ago (when teen was 13). As such, it is another potential clue that Tin’s identity is somehow connected to Wanda Maximoff (the most likely being that he is Billy).

“The Sound of Fairies Crying”
Fairies are confirmed in the MCU
Being the first to drink the wine the coven found in the house, Mrs. Hart is the first to start showing symptoms of its poison. Jennifer asks her about any other symptoms as her own face begins to swell, asking Mrs. Hart if she can hear “The Sound of Weeping Fairies”. Much like Loki Season 1 is the first time vampires are referred to and confirmed to exist, Agatha all along has confirmed the existence of fairies in the MCU.
In the original Marvel comics, fairies were typically found in the realm known as Otherworld or Avalon. They are also related to the dark and light elves of the Asgardian Nine Realms. To that end, it would be very exciting if fairies eventually make their on-screen debut in the MCU, or in a future episode of Agatha all along Or in some other project.

“Wanda, please let him breathe!”
Mrs. Hart hallucinates the Scarlet Witch
After drinking the poisoned wine, each of the witches is faced with a nightmare of their past near the end of Agatha all along Episode 3. This includes Mrs. Hart being the first to hallucinate a dark moment from her past. Although what she sees is not seen on the screen, Mrs. Hart is shown begging Wanda to “Please let him breathe” Before she goes out.
As such, it seems that Mrs. Hart was brought back to her husband’s death which the new episode probably confirms was caused by Wanda’s hex. As seen in WandaVisionSome parts of the Hex that the Scarlet Witch isn’t directly involved with are in a limbo state where residents are either stuck in loops or have been frozen entirely. As such, Mrs. Hart seems to be tragically implied in Agatha all along That her husband died because Wanda wouldn’t let him breathe (although Maximoff probably didn’t even know it happened).

The Darkhold
Did Agatha trade her son for the Book of the Damned?
Agatha was the last to drink, then the last to experience a dark hallucination of her past. In Harkness’ case, Agatha is shown a baby’s cradle, one holding the darkhold rather than the crying child she’d heard before removing the blanket.. While this lends credence to Jennifer’s claims that she traded her son for her copy of the Book of the Damned, Agatha’s apparent grief and horror-stricken reaction to the Darkhold suggest that there is much more to the story yet to be revealed. His revelation.

“Heads will roll” – yes yes yes
Agatha’s end-credits song All Along Episode 3 is quite fitting
2009’s “Heads Will Roll” by the Yo Yo Yo’s plays during the credits sequence for Agatha all along Episode 3. This is quite fitting, especially given the recurring verses associated with it Alice in Wonderland “Looking Glass” as well as “Take the Past”. After all, Agatha and her coven have arguably passed through the looking glass now that they’re on the Witches’ Road, as well as facing their respective dark pasts as their first trial.
