I think Billy talking to Agatha through telepathy at the end there was him showing her that he also cared about her. Tho I don’t believe Billy can only use his telepathy powers on people he cares about. Specially since in the road ha had to be subconsciously picking up their baggage to create the trails. That is why Agatha trail seems to weird it’s based on himself and rumors he heard about her.
It’s so great and important to see a black character overcome the restraints placed on them by white hegemony and not have to linger and unpack their oppression with their oppressor after breaking free. They just free themselves and go off to enjoy their freedom.
I think Agatha was only able to control her siphoning powers after a certain point and with Billy being the one to essentially charge her she was able to control herself and stop before he dies.
I'll just say that without Agatha's creation of the Road myth, Billy could not have created the road - so it actually *was* her all along. Also, it's not that Death couldn't take Billy because he was alive, it's because if she tried he would just reincarnate again. So he had to come willingly.
I don't think Agatha knows what her plan is from moment to moment. She's good at short-term gifts and schemes and contingencies but not so great at big picture stuff.
Billy’s power created the physical space that is the Road, similarly to how Wanda created the Hex. But the Trials are a different thing. They require personal knowledge of the witches in the coven and knowledge of each area of the Craft. Billy has neither of these (e.g. he met them all just moments before, he would not be able to discern what the poison in the wine was or concoct a potion antidote, he knows nothing of Alice’s generational curse or how to destroy it, his knowledge of Tarot is basic at best). He did not create the Trials, which suggests that as Agatha was working unseen in the background of Wanda’s sitcom world, someone is devising the Trials in the background of Billy’s Road. (I do not know who.) This also means that since Sharon, Alice and Lilia died because of a Trial, Billy is not responsible for their deaths.
He can read their mind and create the trial as time goes on. It's autopilot, so he doesn't even realise that he was actively gathering information about them and the road shape into a trial based on his understanding of them.
The boy is like Xavier. Just as if He gave them all some magic mushrooms, and they as a group hallucinated a magical world. They create their own stories and share them. His mother was the same way, when not collapsing buildings, or ripping people to shreds, she's getting inside people's heads.
In the cases where he could read minds he did so. When he couldn’t read Agatha’s he based it off of the rumors that he heard about Agatha that were in fact incorrect.
A missed point about how bad that woman was. At first glance it seemed like baby Nicholas was actually sick as a baby. But that too was a trick/con of Agatha's to steal power from witches. The baby wasn't hungry, babies don't need food, they need a teet. Agatha was probably pinching the baby, or Nick was cooperating.
Most amazing show I have seen since WandaVision
I'd have to agree, it was such a good series and a lot of that has to get chalked up to Jac Schaeffer and the rest of the creative team

Totally, I think he cared about her as well

Agatha is only starting her journey.
That's for damn sure!

Great insights. Thx.
Of course! Thanks so much for watching and leaving the feedback. I appreciate you 💯

I think part of her schtick is to look like she doesn't know what she's doing most of the time, but she really does.

Billy can read minds so he knew
Nope, nope, nope. Billy can read minds.
In the cases where he could read minds he did so. When he couldn’t read Agatha’s he based it off of the rumors that he heard about Agatha that were in fact incorrect.

This is true!
