Marvel Studios has finally confirmed the identity of the mysterious Black Heart in Agatha all the timegoing back to previous episodes of the series and even Phase 4 WandaVision. One of Agatha all the time The most persistent mysteries surround the true identity of the Black Heart who was first mentioned in episode 2, “Circle Stitched with Destiny, Unlock Its Hidden Gate.” A black heart was drawn on the list of names Lilia Calderu suggested as Agatha Harkness’ perfect MCU clan, and theories suggested this could be referring to Rio Vidal.
Rio Vidal, by Aubrey Plaza, is an exciting character in Agatha all the timeand there have been many theories suggesting a powerful secret identity for the MCU’s original villain. However, while some theorized that Lilia’s black heart belonged to Vidal, perhaps supported by his own comments in Agatha all the time debut, Agatha all the time Episode 6, “Familiar By Thy Side,” reveals that the black heart belongs to someone very different. This changes how Agatha all the time Previous episodes are seen and may date back to 2021 WandaVision in a brilliant way.
Agatha All Along reveals who is Black Heart from episode 2 and is not Rio Vidal
Rio Vidal described himself as having a black heart towards Agatha throughout episode 1, ‘Seekest Thou The Road’
Since Rio Vidal has suggested that his heart is black and beats for Agatha Harkness in Agatha all the time At the premiere, many imagined that the black heart drawn by Lilia on her list was referring to Vidal, apparently a Green Witch. However, Agatha all the time episode 6 seems to suggest that the black heart was actually referring to Joe Locke’s “Teen”, who was recently revealed to be Billy Maximoff’s Wiccan. Miles Gutierrez-Riley’s Eddie referred to Billy as his heart in episode 6, using the black heart emoji in a textalmost confirming this is what Lilia meant.
Agatha all the time episode 6 also confirmed that it was Lilia who placed the sigil on William Kaplan before he became Billy Maximoff. In doing so, she instantly forgot ever having met him, which meant she couldn’t write Billy’s name on her list either, with the image of a black heart being the next best option. The previous prevailing theory named Rio Vidal as Blackheart, the son of the Marvel Comics demon Mephisto. Removing this theory from the equation could support the new theory that Rio Vidal is actually Lady Death in Agatha all the time.

Joe Locke has finally been revealed to play Billy Maximoff in Agatha All Along, episode 5, ‘Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power’
The idea of Rio Vidal being Lady Death and not the essential Green Witch that Agatha Harkness’ coven of witches tried to summon for the Witch’s Road is supported in another way because of episode 6’s dark heart reveal. The fact that Lilia Calderu was referring to Billy Maximoff when drawing his black heart proves that he was always a member of Agatha Harkness’ clan. This in turn confirms that Rio Vidal was never supposed to be there, which could also imply that she is not actually a Green Witch, but rather Mistress Death.

If that’s the case, and Billy Maximoff was always intended to be an official member of Agatha Harkness’ coven, then it seems likely that he will receive his own trial on the Witch’s Road. So far, Jennifer Kale, Alice Wu-Gulliver and Agatha Harkness have undergone auditions, while Lilia Calderu’s is yet to come. Previously it might have been assumed that Rio Vidal would have been tried, but if she is Lady Death, that doesn’t seem possible. Instead, Billy Maximoff might get his, which could further explain his return to the MCU after three years.
