Warning: This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along Episode 5.
in Agatha all alongThe marketing of Audrey Plaza Rio Vidal is seen saying “The bodies are really piled up“, and the latest episode of Marvel’s WandaVision Spin-off really delivers on this ominous promise. Not only does another of Agatha’s coven die on the perilous Witches Road (and by Agatha’s own hand, no less), but the episode seems to end with Joe Locke’s Teen thinning the herd even more.
In the wake of the discovery of Tin’s true identity, the fact that death is all over Agatha all along May well be overlooked. We’ve already seen the sad death of Mrs. Hart/Sharon Davies (Debra Jo Rupp), and with the Salem Seven stalking the coven, it doesn’t feel like more bodies are too far away.
Agatha all along episode 5’s cliffhanger explained
in Agatha all along In episode 5’s ending scenes, Tin is revealed to be Scarlet Witch’s son, Wiccan, somehow reborn after Wanda Magic blasted him out of existence at the end of WandaVision. Disgusted with Agatha for killing off Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn) – albeit accidentally – Tin reveals his powers after Agatha tells him that he is “Just like [his] Mother“, Controlling Jennifer Kale and Lilia Calderu and they throw Agatha into the quicksand-like bog by the side of the Witches Road.
It is already established that the bug is deadly, because it almost killed Mrs. Hart in the second episode, along with the firm warning to never, ever leave the road. Agatha sinking, followed by Jennifer and Lilia is very likely to tease a grim end for them all. That event in the fifth episode of a nine-episode season is both shocking and a hint that all is not as it seems.
They are not dead, but Alice is
Agatha all along has hinted that death will be a constant presence throughout the season – not least because that’s definitely who Rio Vidal actually is – but it seems too early to call time of death on Agatha, Lilia and Jennifer just yet. Alice, on the other hand, is dead for real. Just as Agatha killed her mother’s bond in Salem in WandaVisions flashback, she drains Alice of both her powers and her life force in a shocking twist that isn’t entirely her fault.
Alice’s attempt to save Agatha, only to see it backfire and lead to her death, is a short, poignant lesson to never look out for anyone but yourself, which seems to be the witches’ creed in the MCU. Like Sharon, Alice is now dead, and she can’t be the last to go: it wouldn’t be surprising if Agatha all along Kills the entire coven, other than Agatha, Tin, and Rio.
The good news is that We’ve already seen footage of Agatha beyond the end of episode 5 (like the Wizard of Oz inspired episode captured above), so she’s not dead yet. It is noticed that one character is missing from Tin’s attack on the other members of the coven as well.
Ryo seemingly stayed with Alice’s body in the process while Tin was revealing his true identity and powers. It seems inevitable that she will be forced to save her fellow witches in the next episode of Agatha all along. Perhaps we will also see the revelation of her true identity…?
