Warning: This article contains spoilers for Agatha All Along.
A fan-favorite MCU character was forgotten at the end of Agatha all the time. The return of Kathryn Hahn as the original Salem witch Agatha Harkness in Phase 5 of the MCU marked a return to Westview, New Jersey, with Agatha all the time picking up three years after the events of 2021 WandaVision. Agatha Harkness spent this time trapped as nosy neighbor Agnes O’Connor by the Scarlet Witch’s spell and continued to live in Ralph Bohner’s house, although Agatha all the time I saw her free herself from this spell and begin a new journey in the MCU.
Agatha all the time The first two episodes saw the return of several characters first seen in WandaVision. This included several Westview residents such as John Collins, Sarah and Harold Proctor, and Sharon Davis, who joined Agatha Harkness and her coven on the Witch’s Road. The Phase 5 series also explored more of Agatha Harkness’ history in the MCU, developing her connection to Death, Scarlet Witch, the Darkhold, and her son, Nicholas Scratch. However, a piece of Agatha’s story was forgotten, raising questions about the fate of a fan-favorite character.
Señor Scratchy Was Forgotten in Agatha’s Ending All Along
Señor Scratchy is Agatha Harkness’s pet rabbit
Even though he appeared in the first two episodes of the series, returning after his debut in WandaVisionAgatha Harkness’s pet rabbit, Señor Scratchy, did not appear in Agatha all the time end. Señor Scratchy is perhaps the cutest character in Agatha all the timeand was frequently seen alongside Agatha Harkness in WandaVisionmost notably during the Westview talent show and during Agatha Harkness’ revelation of her true nature to Wanda Maximoff. Señor Scratchy was named after an alias of Mephisto in Marvel Comics, but had no connection to the Faustian demon established in the MCU.
Billy Maximoff returned to Agatha Harkness’s house in Agatha all the time finale, where he threatened to banish the ghost of Agatha herself, but instead chose to close the door to the Witch’s Road, carving the names of his victims in its place. Afterwards, Billy likely left Westview with his spirit guide, Agatha Harkness, to find his brother, Tommy. No mention was made of Señor Scratchy’s fate. He can simply be left alone at home, which would be one of the Agatha all the time greatest and most unforgivable tragedies.
Agatha All Along’s Señor Scratchy’s Original Plan Would Have Been Great
Señor Scratchy almost had a bigger role in Agatha this whole time
Shortly after the release of Agatha all the time finale, series creator Jac Schaeffer spoke with Mallory Rubin and Joanna Robinson on The back of the bell podcast, revealing more about the series in a deep dive. Fortunately, Schaeffer discusses Señor Scratchy at the end of the podcast (at timestamp 3:26:20), confirming that the lovable bunny was initially set to have a larger role in the series. In fact, in initial plans, Señor Scratchy would have joined Agatha Harkness, Billy Maximoff and the coven on the Witch’s Road.
This is a little bunny named Peanut Butter, and we love Peanut Butter… We had so many ideas for Señor Scratchy, and he should hit the road. Did you see that, that Joe [Locke] was holding Señor Scratchy. The initial idea was that he was going to race on the road with Señor Scratchy, but it becomes a thing if we’re getting close to filming the thing, and I haven’t figured out how to pay for it. , then he goes out the window… We got to the point where we were going to shoot Billy running… We had filmed the thing up there because it was in Los Angeles, so we filmed him in the street holding Señor Scratchy, and two months later, we were in the basement, and he was supposed to run over, and I thought, ‘yeah, no, there’s nothing for Scratchy to do on the road, there’s no reward, none of this is working, animal handlers are expensive’, so it was in the column, my Favorite column, history for another day.
This could have explained more about Señor Scratchy’s true nature in the MCU, although it appears there was no clear payoff for the rabbit’s journey on the road, so it was cut. It would have been fantastic and fun to see the clan try to take care of Señor Scratchy on the Road while also struggling with the trials and tribulations that the Road presented. Agatha all the time the original plan could have revealed him to be a shape-shifting character, perhaps even the demon Mephistobut this did not materialize.
Where could Mr. Scratchy be after Agatha all along?
Agatha Harkness and Billy Maximoff left Westview at the end of Agatha All Along
Unfortunately, Jac Schaeffer didn’t actually reveal what happened to Señor Scratchy at the end of Agatha all the timealthough she assured that the rabbit is “fine.” There has been speculation that Billy Maximoff adopted Scratchy after Agatha Harkness’ death, which could mean that he is living happily with Rebecca and Jeff Kaplan, or perhaps Agatha used magic to bring Scratchy on his new mission with Billy. The end of Agatha all the time raised a lot of questions for future MCU projects to address, so it would be great to see Señor Scratchy return.
