Bruh you be so oblivious to the fact that your completely right. It's like your a divination witch. This my new channel. I'm done with new Rockstars. 😂 keep it up bro. I'll be watching 😅😂😂
@@jaseboon6282i really want teen to be someone that nobody will think about. Exactly like what you said. That would even bring mephisto in without revealing him
I'm really curious to see how, or if, this will be different from the other trials. I mean, it seems like all the trials are escape rooms, just with different tasks. I just hope the show manages to keep it interesting without getting repetitive.
@@Paulo-616Ehh, I imagine it'll be somewhat formulaic and episode 3 was the first tatse. We still have Alice, Lilia, Rio or Teen, and Agatha having their own to get us through episode 7. The final two episodes are going to be after all the trials and NUTS in comparison I bet.
@@somerandomdude8399I think the thing that will keep it from being too formulaic will be the variations of trials, the different skill sets of the witches, and the dynamics of the characters that it brings out. The interest of Jen figuring out the potion was secondary imo to what we learned about the characters. Generally though I’m not mad about it being kind of a mini-procedural for a few episodes. It makes it feel more like television and not a movie split into a few parts. There’s also something kind of classic to it, like mythological Greek trials one might face in the underworld, or an 80s adventure.
I agree...the show gets more and more interesting as we go along...I really feel like they are going to keep the quality storytelling going all the way to the finale!
Big Little Lies is definitely what I thought this episode/trial was based on, especially after the "Huge Tiny Lies" line, but I do also like your Desperate Housewives idea. Big Little Lies is basically the Desperate Housewives of the 2020's, so it makes sense!
@@AbitofEverything4U also, my first reaction to Mrs Hart dying was because they didn't put her hair in the potion, but you never know, they might say it's because of some random reason that nobody even thought of. Plus, like you said, maybe she's not even dead and maybe it's not even her! Rio definitely has something to do with it!
@@jacoboneill2494 of course! Good thinking. I guess I was hoping she'd figure that out by herself and save her wish for something bigger. She's my fave.
I don't think Sharon is dead tbh, and if she is I bet she will return. The Witches Road songs mentions fallen ones spirits being guides and the actor has hinted at Sharon being in the show for longer and having an arc.
It's funny how Mrs. Davis' character poster had her reach for *that* bottle. And I definitely think that it's interesting how whatever happened to Teen occurred during WandaVision. In fact, I wonder if maybe instead of Billy's soul being remade to Teen, if it's not the other way around as in Wanda subconsciously took a bit of Teen to make Billy RIP Mrs. Sharon Davis/Mrs. Hart
I think Agatha was gonna say “And you (Sharon) get to go home.” as her benefit to finishing the Road. Which we now know was not going to happen. 😭 Also, Patti Lupone said last year that Teen was their familiar.
My theory for the Sigil is that teen put in on himself and is playing dumb (Agatha describes it as amateurish). Since he perked up when hearing “Agent of Mephisto” I think maybe Teen is one of their agents, that’s who’s been manipulating and nurturing his powers (because of teens connection to the scarlet witch like you said with Billy’s soul)
the release times for UK and Ireland is great, they come out early the thursday morning, meaning for episodes 8 and 9, we will get them actually on Halloween
In the comics, Lorna Wu (named August Wu) was murdered by an unknown demon. Going off of Alice being a protection witch, her mother claiming their family is cursed and her sensing her mother’s death thousands of miles away, plus the demon in Alice’s fire trial in the trailers? Their family is hunted by a demon, and once the grandmother was killed, Lorna was the next target. And since she died to the Road instead of the demon, it couldn’t go after Alice? IDK.
@@AbitofEverything4U I bet Alice's trial, since the trailer shows Lilia in distress and a demon combusting over Alice's head, is for Alice to confront the demon that's been stalking her family to directly protect her Coven and destroy it once and for all. Honestly, a good idea would be to dissect all of Marvel Studios' little social media ads plus the official trailers for any footage we haven't seen yet and try to piece it all together.
Thanks...really appreciate the positive feedback. I love making these vids, so it's always nice to hear they are covering topics that fellow MCU fans are interested in!
For real bro. The only easter egg channel I only watch currently are ScreenCrush, New Rockstars and that Canadian Lad. This channel (A bit of Everythjing) is a gem!
ikr? They are really trying to steer us over to Nicholas and I truly do believe it will be Billy. But huge props to writers for not giving up on trying to convince us otherwise!
Another amazing breakdown! I really enjoyed this episode and the mystery around who bound Jennifer’s Powers. I wanna know more about the other witches!
I’m so sad I only discovered this channel in the past few months because you make my favourite MCU videos! There is something about the vibe, I can’t describe it… but it’s just very pleasant to watch. I’ve been enjoying watching these episode breakdowns every week, seeing all the slate predictions, and going back to learn about the timeline- thank you so much! ❤
That's so nice of you to say. I really do love making the videos and sharing my passion for the MCU with fellow fans. I love discussing ideas in the comments and it's built a very nice community where we can bounce theories off each other. Thanks so much for being part of the channel community!
I’m new to this genre.. not really into mcu movies but I started with Wandavision, loved Now I’m loving Agatha all along So now I’m watching all the movies 🎥 😊
That's awesome to hear. I love that WandaVision and Agatha got you into the MCU. I absolutely adore WandaVision and Agatha has been terrific so far. Hope you have a great time watching the movies!
Honestly, this show has been so much better than I thought it would be. The trailers made it look very Disney Channel but I decided to watch the first episode on a whim and I'm so glad I did. It's been great so far.
I dont think Mephisto is involved with the sigil or Teen. The creator of the show is doing these breakdowns with The Wrap and mentioned that the sigil is supposed to be amateurish or something, which would make more sense to mean Wanda, who doesn't know much about spells, doing it subsconsiously to protect her children (I dont think Teen did it, or he wouldnt be so confused, unless its also an subconcious thing). I think it's actually more likely that Billy's magic powers caused the sort of reincarnation/soul merge/possession thingy than Mephisto doing it (because what would he get out of that). He is an extremely powerful reality warper and can manifest things and shape reality based on his whishes in the comics. He also needs to really want to do something in order for his spells to work. So i could imagine he really didn't want him and Tommy to die and somehow influenced all of this, letting them survive post Wandavision. I also supsect that it was maybe his powers that ultimately helped open the Road, because he really wanted and needed it in that moment.
you know what this isnt a bad idea because that clip of agatha shaking teen's head could be her trying to convince teen to want to do something hard enough for them to escape wherever they were
Good theories! So I thought about the idea that Wanda cast the sigil, but it seems she would have known she did it (i.e. it wouldn't be an unconscious act) and if she did it intentionally, then I don't know why she was searching for her kids via the Darkhold. But perhaps Billy did it himself to protect him from the other witches? That's why I ultimately landed on Mephisto, but I agree, that's a long shot theory. Man, so many cool mysteries to unpack. Really enjoying the show so far!
could it be that Teen accidentally while studying or practice magic since apparently anyone can be a witch if they practiced enough and he unknowingly placed a really powerful sigil upon himself because he is actually Billy Maximoff aka Wiccan and he could even discover his powers trying to reverse this spell or it’s his wish at the end of the road
@@AbitofEverything4Ui think Wanda did it post mortem via the road. She's probably at the end and sleeping or meditating, trying to find a way back: thus manifests Billy's soul from WV into a dying Kaplan, creating a way back while also focused on her most important goal.
What if Agatha placed the sigil on Billy during the events of Wandavision? I long suspected that Agnes/Agatha did something to Wanda’s kids after Billy says “I like it here, it’s quiet. You’re quiet”. 0:59 Also, the way Agatha says “it suits you” to Teen kinda mirrors that vibe
Civil War, 2016 is a huge deal for Wanda! That is when she became romantically involved with the vision! ❤ So the only part I’m not sure of regarding the wine is the Spain reference. Maybe just a hint at which language you need to translate.
Excellent point! Okay, perhaps the romance was indeed what they were hinting at. And yeah, I suspect the Spain reference was to help us know how to translate it.
Many things can make a person feel “bound”. I personally think when Jennifer says she is “bound” and all the water symbolism surrounding her episode, I think something happened with that doctor, maybe he tried to drown her or scare her but after that she became so traumatized that she bound herself. Locking away the witch inside, too scared and painful to bring out. After a while she started to believe her magic really was gone, but I personally think her “binding” is a response to some serious trauma and she probably still has access to it if she can work through that. I looooooooved how this whole episode was a nod at modern day “kitchen witches”. I think that was a heavy influence not many people are talking about except for you! You definitely got a new subscriber tonight 🥳 many modern day people practicing witchcraft will refer to themselves as “kitchen witches” because they use their home, things at their disposal, and knowledge of the craft to create “potions and spells” that otherwise you’d only see in a big bubbling cauldron. Of course this episode had MANY references to other shows and movies but I think the “modern day kitchen witch” challenge was beautifully executed. I love your theory on Teen, too. We are in the same boat. I feel like the wind could blow me either way: Either he is Wanda’s son’s soul reincarnate or he is Wiccan. Remember that Wanda’s son even dressed like Wiccan during the Halloween episode of WandaVision! Either way this will be interesting to watch play out. And WOW!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how in the world Rio is going to make it on the road without being there from the start and your Mrs. Hart theory is the best theory I’ve heard!! I really think that’s how the next episode is going to start. Also many publications have been referring to Rio as “Death” but I’m not sure how strong that theory is. I think Agatha may know more about Teen than she is letting on 🤔 I also think it’s possible that Teen put the sigil on himself? In one of the trailers we see him at the end of the road with blue magic coming from his hands. Could he have had the magic all along, played dumb, and used this witches road to gain something else? Hmmm…. I can’t wait to watch more!!
Fantastic feedback on the vid. Loved reading it all. Yeah, the "kitchen witches" theme of the show was so well done. I really dig all the many layers of commentary the show is providing us. Every single line of dialogue has meaning and depth. Been a awesome start to the show. Can't wait to where things go from here!
I just checked, it's really blurred...BUT the page link contains the Real Name xD Also I went there by searching "Teen" on the wiki and it said "Real Name (Redirected from Teen)" xD
The end of this episode had me on a roller coaster of emotion. I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation when the kitchen was flooding, then I was flooded by relief (pun intended) when they went through the oven door, then I was laughing out loud when Agatha was screaming and flipping down the slide, then pure shock and terror when teen said, “Sharon’s dead,” I audibly gasped and screamed, “oh no!” This was a great episode!
I just realized something: There’s a nod to “Encanto” here re: Lilia getting chased out of town for accurately predicting misfortune. Bruno didn’t get chased out of the Madrigals’ house. He left on his own, but the reason why is the same.
Great breakdown. This series is so fun. They know how to reference other media in ways that feel natural to the storytelling. Also, the content of the series is familiar yet fresh even for comic geeks like myself. Excellent casting, but Hahn really shows her true lead actress qualities. And one more thing, definitely their most wonderfully queer entry into the MCU.
I agree...such a great series. Awesome characters and incredible writing. Plus the representation is handled so well. I can't wait to see how things turn out as we march towards the finale!
Really great episode and really great breakdown. It’s so so crazy that we finally have confirmation of Mephisto in the MCU. Really interesting how Rio is maybe death too. I doubt they will but it would be cool if they retroactively make a connection to Thanos with death too.
Thanks! I do try to do something abit different than the other channels, since there are already so many good ones out there. Thx so much for watching and leaving your thoughts. Really appreciate it!
I love that you cover everything about the topic instead of jumping to past shows or movies. Its just refreshing, your train of thought flows like mine. I dont care who he is or how he got here, he is here.i believe Aunt Agatha traded Nicholas for the Darkhold, walked the road to get him back. But cheated. So no gift without purchase. I haven't made it to your theories yet. The show is literally painting that picture and no one is seeing it.
I love this series, I'm having a great time. I really liked how you connected the dots of your theory about the Teen. Here my little contribution: Rioja, apart from being the designation of origin of the wine, is a place in Spain. In the 2016 Scarlet Witch miniseries, where the Witches' Road was introduced in the Marvel comics, Wanda visited this region
I think that if Agatha traded her son for the darkhold that possibly you are right that the souls of Billy and Tommy could have come from Mephisto but with if it’s Agatha’s son soul split between the two.
About the "familiar by thy side" line in the ballad, maybe the word "familiar" here is a wordplay on "family", and with all the hints about Agatha's child and Teen's parents, maybe there is a connection here. Maybe we'll see them having a confrontation with "familiar" people? Or, if the theory that says that Teen is actually Nicholas is true, maybe that's what's happening, Agatha is walking the Road with a member of her family, a "familiar", by her side?
more theory.... What has Rio been after? She has told Agatha that 'Wanda' has destroyed every copy of the Darkhold. The show made it clear by emphasizing that, showing us that Agatha was the previous witch who checked it out after wanda, and showed us the vision of Agatha with the Darkhold in the crib. What was the word that energized Agatha? "powerful'. Agatha wants her power and she believes she will obtain power or be given another copy of the Darkhold IF she completes 'The Witches' Road'. At least that is what Agatha believes, but I feel that her journey will change her mind on what she really wants or needs by the end of the road by wanting her son back. Rio may be an agent of Mephisto who needs or wants the copy of the Darkhold for Mephisto, which is why she used teen to break Agatha out of Wanda's Hex, used the Salem Seven to scare Agatha to form a quick coven to access the Witches road. Notice how the show also emphasized that once the door to the Witches' Road was closed, it would be sealed. Rio needed access to the road and knew that Agatha would not allow her to be a part of the coven so she disguised herself conveniently as Mrs. Heart to go along with the group. Rio will follow Agatha and help her reach the end of the road and reveal that her son's soul may be trapped in Teen's body in order to force Agatha to choose between the Darkhold or her son's life.
Sharon will become a ghost ! The Ballad says if one be gone carry on spirit by thy side. It also mirrors the way that Agatha was a ghostly guide for Wanda’s trip down the road in the comics.
I like that idea alot. Strangely, the closed captioning in episode 2 shows the song said "if sun be gone", but I like "if one be gone" alot better, so I hope it was an error.
This is so hype and all the theories get me so excited for what's to come! I do believe that Sharon died because her hair wasn't involved in the antidote, but I like that theory that she's actually Rio. There's also that part of the ballad that mentions a familiar, could that be talking about Señor Scratchy the rabbit? In witch lore, familiars tend to be animals. Maybe 😭?
Good theory the rabbit being the familiar. I'm just not sure how they'll get him down there at this point, but I do think he would definitely fit the lyric perfectly!
Lilia's random predictions are already showing up. 1) Her screaming when she was first talking to Agatha and Teen was the foreshadowing of Teen screaming when the Salem Seven burst through the window by where he was sitting. 2) Her yelling "don't touch me" before their chanting was then said by Sharon in episode 3 when she wandered off from the group as she pushed through the foliage.
Good points! I was also wondering if some of those were her divinations. Do you think they need to be the exact same words or just the basic gist of the divination? I love all the cool mysteries this show is throwing at us!
@AbitofEverything4U I think it's the exact words or sounds. At least, that's what it has been the last 2 times. We'll have to see if that remains the same going forward.
Right...that's what I was thinking as well. But since Mrs. Hart said "Don't touch me" and Lilia said "Get off me", it seemed like that might not have met the requirement for the divination?
Thanks so much...really appreciate the positive feedback and the support for the channel. Been having so much fun with this show. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
To add onto your Wiccan/Teen theory, I think Billy Kaplan survived the car crashed but Billy M’s soul still went into him thinking it was a dead body. Billy K was then revived by paramedics. Billy has another soul living inside him and everyone mentioned Nicholas Scratch throughout the season could be making him question if Nicholas is somehow inside him buried deep down. Ofc that’s the misdirect and it’s Billy Maximoff all along.
my thought with ms. hart is that, as a latent green which, therefroe pentacles, she's going to go through a rebirth and come back in some other form later. Killing her off so casually doesn't fit the vibe, but they needed to have at least a fake death to establish the danger of the road. her getting sucked down into the earth under the tree kind of reinforces the idea (to me) that she's a seed to be planted
I think what Lilia says in her moment of premonition are related to the characters in danger(?). Her first “get off of me” matches what Sharon said as she was walking off the road. And in this episode she says “I love you guys” and “try to save Agatha”, so maybe whoever says those lines next could be in danger or smt may happen to them.
You know, I wondered about that, but she actually said "Don't touch me" and so I assumed Lilia's divinations would be the exact words. But that said, you could be right. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great breakdown as always, I loooveee your theory of Teen, it all makes sense also i add when Teen run from Agatha's house a car hit him but Agatha are in Wanda's spell maybe in "real life" something else happen. So about the funko pop I'm so mad about it when I see them haha but thinking about it, it all makes sense about Rio's supposed being Death. That's the reason why Agatha hate her because "Death" took Nikki. Also when they're fighting it makes sense that Agatha say "If I took your power I would die", also when she said "You can't kill me it's against the rules" like everything is tied together. But even with the spoilers I'm loving it, if they keep this rhyme it would be an awesome Marvel product.🎉❤ So excited for the next one Before I forget I saw in Twitter a theory about Wanda in an episode of Wandavision she sings a song for the twins and they said that maybe Wanda unconsciously put a protection spell with that song (Actually the translation of the song makes sense) like the witches road opens with a song etc...so music is involved in witchcraft too. It's an interesting theory, even if it doesn't happen I want to share it ❤
I am so sorry about that Funko pop. I thought they officially released it and instead it turns out it was leaked. Argh! I never would have mentioned it in that case. I truly apologize. But that said, I agree, you are picking up on some very cool quotes that Rio made which makes her sound like death. And that's also a very cool about Wanda and the song. I love that!
@@AbitofEverything4U Noooooo don't worry about it, I also saw the Funko Pop on Twitter thinking it was official, almost everyone else have already seeing it
Thanks! So glad you found the channel. I truly love breaking down the MCU content as there are always so many cool theories to discuss with fellow fans in the comments. Great to have you here!
In real life, a sigil is basically just a signature used to invoke an entity or being, it's not a binding spell. That's the only thing that broke my immersion this episode, but I am loving this show so far! Edit: some people seem to not get my point, I know a sigil has power, I know a sigil can be used IN a spell. My point is that A SIGIL IS NOT A REDACTION SPELL. THAT IS MY WHOLE POINT
Yeah, the websters definition definitely doesn't match: 1. : seal, signet. 2. : a sign, word, or device held to have occult power in astrology or magic.
But what if the signature can be used in many different ways, and so Mephisto can bind him via knowing his true name as a Maximoff-- i think there's some wiggle room within the semantics
@nailinthefashion well I definitely believe the M to be for Mephisto as well. The part where one of the witches states that "A sigil is a redaction spell that hides something" is not correct because a sigil itself is not a spell, but you are right that a sigil can be used IN a spell. This particular spell would actually be called "binding of the tongue"
Sigils can be used in spells. I've seen them used in protection spells and even binding. There are binding runes, which makes a sigil. There are many ways a sigil can be used in the craft.
@Black-Cat1127 Yes, and my point was that exactly. Sigils are used IN spells. My point is that the line "A sigil is a redaction spell that hides something" is a misrepresentation of it's true meaning.
Awesome...thanks so much for watching the vid and supporting the channel. I love doing the breakdowns each week and chatting with fellow MCU fans on what they thought about the mysteries. Great to have you here!
Read the comics: Billy and Tommy's souls were transfered into other bodies. Billy becomes Wican. Teen is Billy (he inherited Wanda's traits) and Tommy inherited his uncle's traits. Nick Scratch is Mr. Scratchy. Alice represents the fire element and she's a "Blood Witch" which they said is a witch by inheritance. Not "burned if they stayed" but they would down as witches were also drowned. Each element was a way to kill a witch was called out in episode 2 and also represents the four major elements (earth, fire, water, air) which each one of them represents. The 5th Element is heart which is what brings the collaboration they all hold. Great vid by the way.
Thanks for that info on Billy and Tommy...they have been retconned a few times in the comics, but you are right on the money with the latest explanation for them. And yeah, it seems Alice is both a Blood Witch and a Protection Witch, as they call her that in the second episode. Lots of cool stuff going on with her character for sure!
Oooo, I love that idea of Sharon having been Rio all along, and Sharon still being alive back in Westview. I totally hadn't thought of that, but now I do suspect you're right! And yeah, it did seem like those hints at Teen being Agatha's son were obvious misdirection. That's really cool about whatever event happened to him being directly tied to Wandavision. I'm really interested to see where this goes.
One of the lines in the trailers from Rio “the bodies are really piling up” I think one by one, the witches are going to die, inevitably trying to”Save Agatha” from whatever is to come.
I do have a theory on the ballad. The line goes “If sun be gone we carry on, spirit as our guide.” I think maybe sharon will come back as a spirit of some sorts to help the coven out
One little thing that cracked me up, after they all slid out of the house and into the Woods, I thought it was funny how everyone one the floor in mud and dirty, Agatha immediately gets up, pushing and kicking the others out of her way, just so she can be up first, and the others kinda look at her like “Seriously”
Just noticed that the cover of the Silver Surfer comic has the tagline “The Power and the Prize.” Teen says that while he’s studied, power is what he needs, and Agatha in trailer footage says “I want my prize!” Idk if that’s on purpose but it’s a cool coincidence if nothing else.
I feel like I’m wrong but at first I thought the “who’s Sharon” was going to be like a memory thing. Once someone dies they forget who they were. Also I bet you’re going to be bang on with the Billy possession theory
I feel like Teen is like a subconscious part of Agatha's mind. He most likely represents reason in her mind. Every time Agatha does something that is 'wrong' it was always Teen that corrects her. Agatha didn't drink the wine, Teen told her to drink, Agatha didn't want to save Sharon, Teen told her to. There is always logic behind Teen's word/action. Agatha has walked the road before, so she knows she should not cheat.
Great video, this episode was great, love seeing all of the girls fears and can't wait to learn more about them. After so long we finally got the name Mephisto dropped and seeing Death was cool too, that is a great theory about Teen i could definitely see it being true. Those fungo pops if accurate are insane spoilers,Poor Ms Hart though i do like the idea that she could come back to life and unlock dormant witch powers she didn't know she had.
@@AbitofEverything4U Yeah i wonder what type of witch she would be? Hey if you could make a marvel show or movie that takes place in another universe that would lead up to secret wars what would you make it about?
@@AbitofEverything4U That would be cool, crazy enought i would love to see a universe where a Miles Teller Mr Fantastic variant becomes the Maker and discovers that multiverse with the new goal of traveling through it,learning about it, the TVA and the Council of Reeds and Kangs and Incursions. Then making a plan to rule over everything before everything dies.
I think it would be so fun if in the second half of the show, people start saying, in context, the phrases that Lilia is randomly saying now. The Flash TV show did a similar thing and I loved it, just showing an attention to detail and continuity
I agree...lots of possibilities for how those divinations can wind their way into future episodes. Makes it alot of fun for fans who are closely paying attention.
A couple more thoughts and predictions/theories of my own: I like how it was Alice (the Protection witch) who pulled Sharon out of the muck. And then made sure everyone else got through the oven escape route. (Lol, out of the sous vide and into the fire) Jen is Water (her trial was Potions in an underwater house and she was "drowned" in her hallucination) and Rio is Earth, which makes Lilia Air and Alice Fire I guess? The bit in the trailer when Lilia "turns off gravity" during what looks like her trial... It was Alice who had the orange bit of magic start to show in episode 2 when Agatha was trying to get the others to "blast" her right? Orange makes more sense than red with Scarlet Witch being so unique. My guess for future titles (not necessarily in this order): "Darkest hour, wake thy power" "We carry on, spirit as our guide" "Burn and brew with coven true" "Follow me my friend, to glory at the end" "Maiden, Mother, Crone" "Gather sisters fire, water, earth, and air" I honestly doubt any others will (permanently) die, as there is a quick shot of Jen climbing out of the ground into Westview - perhaps the final episode? And I still think Sharon will be back. Death is the Tarot card that seems to apply to Rio of the six they used as promo material. The others? High Priestess - Jen (Lilia called her as much as soon as they met) 3 of Swords - Alice Queen of Cups - Lilia The Tower - Teen 3 of Pentacles (which Lilia says to Agatha in episode 2) - Agatha The "meanings" of the cards have some interesting possible implications. Rio sacrificed Nicholas to get the Darkhold and Agatha had NO CLUE. Her reaction in the hallucination was her real and original reaction or close to it. "It's not my fault only a true coven can open the door" Agatha says when it seems the chant didn't work in episode 2. Maybe she was lying, but Sharon is the one who pointed out the door. Guided them to it almost...
An interesting line to remember is that Agatha said to Rio that killing her is not allowed. Maybe that has something to do with the trade you theorized they made together with Mephisto.
I think one thing about your “Teen” theory is that it needs to involve Agatha in some way. Even though this is a Wanda follow-up, this is Agatha’s show so it has to tie into her lore/arc in some way. But maybe Agatha’s arc/lore just involves solving what’s going on with “Teen” and not necessarily tied to his origin. Regardless, the mysteries in this show feel far more intentional and interesting than Wandavision to me and I’m loving it.
In some of the promotional material, they mention that Teen is the familiar of the group, I'm not sure how that works, but I certainly remember a few interviews saying that
I’ll say this: I was not into Teen being Billy until you laid out your theory. Completely turned me around on it, now it sounds like a cool idea. I thought for sure Rio was going to be Blackheart, but maybe she will be Lady Death, or maybe both?
Yeah, I was in the same boat of not liking Teen being Billy, but as the clues keep coming out, I'm liking it more and more. And I think Rio can still be several different characters rolled into one. I will say, if Rio comes out of the grave of Mrs. Hart, then that sure seems like she at least has elements of Lady Death in her character.
Agatha already referenced Teen as her own familiar when courting Alice Wu I think and because Teen was the one who was unpoisoned, I think Teen counts as the familiar, further making a connection between him, Nicholas Scratch, and the rabbit connection.
You know, I wondered about that as well...but then it's weird that Agatha tried to keep Teen from coming along even though they needed a familiar. That's what made me ponder if there will be some other way to address that part of the ballad?
I keep seeing people everywhere saying that Sharon died because her hair wasn't added to the potion, which makes sense and probably is the case. But I actually like your idea that she simply didn't get enough of the antidote since she got a double shot of poison a bit better (and that'd mean that her hair was added off-screen). Here's why. Earlier, everyone insisted that Agatha HAD TO drink the poison, so they could move on, which makes sense, and we could interpret it also as the Road testing their loyalty or something like that. But then, it doesn't feel right to me that the Road didn't allow Agatha to skip the poison, yet it allowed the potion to work without one hair. You know what I mean? Unless the Road didn't see Sharon as a part of the coven from the start? But then again, the timer started when SHARON drank the wine. Another thing is that they gave Sharon the potion pretty much at the same time as the timer ran out, and then the oven opened. So, I wonder now if it opened because they completed the task (everyone got the potion) or the time ran out (meaning it'd open anyway). I dunno, I probably look too deep into it, but I wish it was a little clearer.
Excellent theories...yeah, they definitely hinted at both the double shot of wine and the missing hair as being issues, as well as perhaps the fact that they didn't get the potion to her in time. I agree that I wish it was abit clearer, but perhaps they'll tell us more in the next episode?
I think teen doesn't have all the memories of billy maximoff, but remembers that his mother was a witch, and he might think instead of wanda, it's agatha, and the real reason why he wanted to go to the witche's road is to get all of his old memories.
The 4 elements could also reference the 4 traditional ways people accused of being Witches were killed. Fire (burning) Water (drowning) Earth (pressing/crushing) Air (hanging)

i think you're right about the sigil. it makes way more sense for another person (probably mephisto) to have brought her kids back and hid them from wanda. that explains WHY she couldn't find them in 616 in MoM, despite apparently existing in every universe. i also think teen and rio are working together somehow. i don't think teen is really a witting participant in whatever rio is plotting, but they seemed to be conspiring at least to get agatha out of wanda's spell. maybe that's the extent of it, but it's possible that rio wants agatha on the witches' road for some reason yet to be revealed and teen was the one who suggested it, which agatha only goes along with because rio has sent the salem seven after her. i'll need more clues about what is at the end of the road proper before i can fully piece together this theory, but the first episode with the way both rio and teen were juxtaposed seems suspicious and i haven't seen anyone else mention it
I agree...sure seems Rio and Teen are working together. Will be interesting to see where things go with those two once Rio appears on the Road. I think she'll be entering next episode, so we won't have to wait long!
I really like that idea. Strangely, though, if you look at the closed captioning for the song in episode 2, it reads "sun" instead of "one". But I do like "one" better, tbh!
I'm 98% in line with your deductions. One other thing to add is Wanda couldn't control the beings she created in the Hex. She created a stork in episode 3 and could not poof it away when she tried to hide it from Monica. In episode 4, Wanda couldn't hush the Maximoff babies or stop them from growing up. It would seem the chaos-created beings cannot be controlled by Wanda. So, Wanda's hex coming down may had affected the corporeal bodies of the chaos-created beings, like the stork or Maximoff twins, but not their souls. Those souls would be wandering about Westview/Eastview looking for a new corporeal body to inhabit. One other thing, if Sparky was a chaos-created being, even he could still be out there despite Agatha killing its corporeal being. My prediction on Rio is she is the one who sacrificed Nicholas Scratch and Agatha stole the Darkhold from her. I think Rio wants Agatha to believe she was the one who sacrificed Nicholas. I think Rio is the one who put the sigil on 'Teen' to continue the facade for Agatha to believe he is her son. If Rio is 'Death' then the only way for her and Agatha to be united is for Agatha to die and that is the reason why she wants her dead. Episode 5 might be the 80s occult episode and while it's shown in the promos Agatha gets possessed, it's possible 'Teen' is the one who's possessed with Nicholas Scratch's spirit. Nicholas could be led to believe Agatha sacrificed him and wants his mother dead so he may be working with Rio until he realizes he's been duped and turns on Rio.
Fantastic theories...I love the idea of Billy and Tommy's souls wandering about after the hex was taken down. It makes it all the more tragic that Wanda got hooked by the Darkhold while looking for them, when they were there in Westview all along.
@@AbitofEverything4U I've had to adjust my theory a bit due to episode 4. I don't think Rio put the sigil on 'Teen'. I think she knows exactly who 'Teen' is, but I believe Billy Maximoff put the sigil on 'Teen' to hide him from 'Death'. If Billy Kaplan actually died in the car accident, Death would be coming to collect his body. If Billy Maximoff entered into his body, his adolescent spirit would want to hide Billy Kaplan from Death. Billy would have no knowledge of it since he basically put the sigil on himself. Death could have been hunting for Billy for 3 years until their paths collided with Agatha.
7:38 Her line here absolutely breaks my heart after the end of the episode she just wanted to be invited to a fun party 😭 24:57 Her hallucination too it legit almost makes me tear up I REALLY hope comic Death shows up I’d absolutely love some side comments about Thanos and his dumb plan annoying her or something
Yeah, this episode really tugged at your heart strings. The writing has been so good. And I agree, I'd love to see Death appear. Having her complain about Thanos would be hilarious!
The thing that stuck out to me most this episode, which I think is a hidden Psychic Message, from Lilia, when they had just drank the poisoned wine, but long before the hallucinations (So, long before Sharon's Hallucination) Lilia says "I love you guys" and then if you look at the shot following, she looks like she's coming out of a trance. I think this is another clue in addition to *Screaming*... "Get off me!" ... "Try to save Agatha" and I think one of Lilia's final lines might be "I love you guys" because it was so out of character, she doesn't yet love them in the present, it might be one of Lilia's final lines in the series.
No way, we're getting Saw in Marvel?! That's awesome! You know, that's also interesting to think about because if this was Saw, in theory, everyone should be able to survive, but much like Saw V, it'll look like everyone but one can survive each trial. It's hard to say if Sharon Davis drank the antidote potion in time or not, and even then, it still has to take effect, even if this is magic. Someone could do everything right in a Saw trap, but be slow by just a few seconds and lose. I'm curious if each trial will end up killing someone or if that's just because Mrs. Davis was not even a practitioner of magic. Oh wait, yeah, the hair, that's probably what did her in. And they said the thing! Mephisto is happening! Also, come on, in Lilia's hallucination, that's got to be Mistress Death right, not just a representation of the typical Grim Reaper, that's got to be Mistress Death. Oh and a nitpick. Teen doesn't know which direction Counter-Clockwise is? I get that he's young, but if he knows what a Sous Vide is, if he knows what Chartreuse is, and let's face it, he's gay and he embraces tropes that come along with that with his obscure knowledge of very specific things in this house throughout the episode despite his more goth appearance outside it, he's going to have a nice watch or knows about antique clocks or whatever; 16 or not, Teen knows which direction Counter-Clockwise is; give me a break. I could see Peter Parker despite his smarts not knowing because he lives in a digital age, but after knowing what a Sous Vide and Chartreuse are, you know which direction to stir a potion. Maybe I'm looking too far into this, it could have just been the pressure of the time crunch, I play game shows better at home than I probably ever would on a set, but still, come on.
I like the idea of one of the Witches not making it out of each trap. That would be pretty cool and really raise the stakes of each trial. And yeah, I'm very surprised Teen didn't know what counterclockwise was. I wonder if that's a hint at a future reveal in a later episode?
Unfortunately, teens clock knowledge is true to real life with the prevalence of digital clocks. Some schools have taken out the old clocks all together or just leave them broken.
@@msXxtonxXboyxx Good point...sadly many teens his age don't know how to read an analogue clock...even thought he ironically referred to analogue magic earlier.
I like what you said about Mrs Hart. What if it’s been Rio all along and as a sorta in memorial they try and burry her and that’s when Rio comes up from the ground like in the trailers
I think it would be cool for you to track the premonitions Lilia has and when they happen! Her first was “get off me!” And then Mrs. Hart said that when she got stuck in a tree.
I agree...I think tracking Lilia's premonitions will be alot of fun! As for what Mrs. Hart said, I wondered about that, but since Lilia technically said "Don't touch me", I kinda assumed Lilia's divinations would be the exact words. But that said, you could be right and perhaps we can check the first divination off the list as having occurred. Really enjoying the show so far. The writing has been amazing!
@@AbitofEverything4U omg thanks for reading and replying to this! I’m a big fan! You actually probably are right, I didn’t notice that little difference!
I wondered about that, but she actually said "Don't touch me" and so I assumed Lilia's divinations would be the exact words. But that said, you could be right. Thanks for pointing that out!
I have a theory that the final trial is to sacrifice your familiar. That’d explain why she didn’t want to talk about the road, how she got the darkhold, and what happened to her son. This time though, she’ll refuse to sacrifice Teen for her power back because she grows to love him over the season. Could be completely wrong but I think that’d make sense
Massive spoilers I was right about Rio after seeing the funkopop, so i think itll come down to her and Billy in the end. Maybe Agatha will be forced to choose one thing: Nich, Billy, or the Darkhold. Or Billy will get to the end, bring Wanda back, but that also brings the Darkhold back too since they're so entwined. I'm happy cuz this means Thanos and Rio will probably end up meeting one day, and those actors bring so much to the table, it'll be a new zenith in quality for me. Any way it goes, I'm SO pleased with this story so far. It's just so spooky and camp. Fave Marvel project by faaaaaaaar and I'll keep saying it
@@BSdetector in my head canon, Thanos and Deadpool meet and rave over a lady they met recently, realize they're both talking about Lady Death, fight, but then Deadpool offers a 3some. At first Thanos is hesitant but then DP mentions DP and the rest.. is history 🤣
I do like the show throwing out a legitimate red herring in the form of who Teen is. I’m like pretty confident most people know who he is, but for the casual audience that’s trying to pick up the show, it’ll be a fun twist that connects things.

Teen is Mephistos Familiar who thought it amusing because he's actually Wiccan, Wanda's Child.
Bruh you be so oblivious to the fact that your completely right. It's like your a divination witch. This my new channel. I'm done with new Rockstars. 😂 keep it up bro. I'll be watching 😅😂😂
@@jaseboon6282i really want teen to be someone that nobody will think about. Exactly like what you said. That would even bring mephisto in without revealing him
38:17 lol no it's Agatha all along not Rio
I loved how this ep was basically just an escape room
Agreed...it was an epic escape room episode. So much fun. And we learned alot about the characters along the way!
I'm really curious to see how, or if, this will be different from the other trials. I mean, it seems like all the trials are escape rooms, just with different tasks. I just hope the show manages to keep it interesting without getting repetitive.
@@Paulo-616Ehh, I imagine it'll be somewhat formulaic and episode 3 was the first tatse. We still have Alice, Lilia, Rio or Teen, and Agatha having their own to get us through episode 7.
The final two episodes are going to be after all the trials and NUTS in comparison I bet.
@@somerandomdude8399I think the thing that will keep it from being too formulaic will be the variations of trials, the different skill sets of the witches, and the dynamics of the characters that it brings out. The interest of Jen figuring out the potion was secondary imo to what we learned about the characters.
Generally though I’m not mad about it being kind of a mini-procedural for a few episodes. It makes it feel more like television and not a movie split into a few parts. There’s also something kind of classic to it, like mythological Greek trials one might face in the underworld, or an 80s adventure.
All the trials seem to be escape rooms.
I can already picture Honest Trailer team will use "Marvel's Escape Room" in their upcoming video.
With every week I Like the Show more and more. And your breakdowns are great too ofc.
I agree...the show gets more and more interesting as we go along...I really feel like they are going to keep the quality storytelling going all the way to the finale!
Big Little Lies is definitely what I thought this episode/trial was based on, especially after the "Huge Tiny Lies" line, but I do also like your Desperate Housewives idea. Big Little Lies is basically the Desperate Housewives of the 2020's, so it makes sense!
Good point...Big Little Lies was the next gen version of Desperate Housewives!
@@AbitofEverything4U also, my first reaction to Mrs Hart dying was because they didn't put her hair in the potion, but you never know, they might say it's because of some random reason that nobody even thought of. Plus, like you said, maybe she's not even dead and maybe it's not even her! Rio definitely has something to do with it!
Yeah, I suspect Rio is behind alot of the things that are happening!
Jennifer was dunked... in water, and lost her power... which we learn about during a trial, her trial, a water trial. That dunking matters, I think.
Interesting....Yeah, that dunking may indeed have something to do with it. Great theory!
@@AbitofEverything4U thanks, man. Okay, so to get her power back... she needs to dunk him?
since she's like a potions witch, maybe she got dunked in a cauldron that has something that got her bound idk where im going with this
@@noelstafford7266i think she just has to reach the end and wish for it.
@@jacoboneill2494 of course! Good thinking. I guess I was hoping she'd figure that out by herself and save her wish for something bigger. She's my fave.
I don't think Sharon is dead tbh, and if she is I bet she will return. The Witches Road songs mentions fallen ones spirits being guides and the actor has hinted at Sharon being in the show for longer and having an arc.
Yeah, I sure hope they find a way to bring her back...she better not be dead!
@@AbitofEverything4Ushe’s an amazing actress 😂 they are definitely going to hold onto her for comedic relief
@@friyadmohamed3130 Great point!
It doesn’t mention fallen ones..
@Simonpumpernickel not specifically, but it says, "If one be gone, we carry on, Spirit as our guide."
It's funny how Mrs. Davis' character poster had her reach for *that* bottle.
And I definitely think that it's interesting how whatever happened to Teen occurred during WandaVision. In fact, I wonder if maybe instead of Billy's soul being remade to Teen, if it's not the other way around as in Wanda subconsciously took a bit of Teen to make Billy
RIP Mrs. Sharon Davis/Mrs. Hart
Great point!
It is true to the comics as well. He is reincarnated into this teen and his brother Billy as well. This is so exciting
@@friyadmohamed3130 Agreed!
I think Mrs Hart wanted the same thing that Dorothy wanted in The Wizard of Oz
Niiiiice! I like that!
New Rockstars would like that theory a lot. They love tying not just this, but everything, to _The Wizard of Oz._
@@Buffy8Fan Tru dat!
I think Agatha was gonna say “And you (Sharon) get to go home.” as her benefit to finishing the Road. Which we now know was not going to happen. 😭 Also, Patti Lupone said last year that Teen was their familiar.
Poor Sharon. RIP. And yeah, I wondered if Teen might become their familiar. That would make sense!
My theory for the Sigil is that teen put in on himself and is playing dumb (Agatha describes it as amateurish). Since he perked up when hearing “Agent of Mephisto” I think maybe Teen is one of their agents, that’s who’s been manipulating and nurturing his powers (because of teens connection to the scarlet witch like you said with Billy’s soul)
Good point...the amateurish nature of the sigil is definitely a piece of the puzzle. Can't wait to see how this all plays out!
the release times for UK and Ireland is great, they come out early the thursday morning, meaning for episodes 8 and 9, we will get them actually on Halloween
Niiiice...getting them on Halloween is perfect!
In my country (Asia) too. Halloween morning.
In the US, it is Halloween's Eve, right?
@@BrokenSoulConfession yes Oct 30th evening time in the US
@@BrokenSoulConfession Asia...how cool!
In the comics, Lorna Wu (named August Wu) was murdered by an unknown demon. Going off of Alice being a protection witch, her mother claiming their family is cursed and her sensing her mother’s death thousands of miles away, plus the demon in Alice’s fire trial in the trailers? Their family is hunted by a demon, and once the grandmother was killed, Lorna was the next target. And since she died to the Road instead of the demon, it couldn’t go after Alice? IDK.
Excellent theories...yeah, Alice's mystery has really got me puzzled, but your analysis is fantastic!
@@AbitofEverything4U I bet Alice's trial, since the trailer shows Lilia in distress and a demon combusting over Alice's head, is for Alice to confront the demon that's been stalking her family to directly protect her Coven and destroy it once and for all. Honestly, a good idea would be to dissect all of Marvel Studios' little social media ads plus the official trailers for any footage we haven't seen yet and try to piece it all together.
Funny you said that...I just did a vid on the tarot cards. But yeah, I should probably check out some more of the social media ads, too!

Another amazing breakdown! I really enjoyed this episode and the mystery around who bound Jennifer’s Powers. I wanna know more about the other witches!
I agree, they are really making me care about the other witches. Can't wait to learn more about each of their backstories!
Ms Hart died because they didn't put her hair in the potion.
Yep, that was my guess as well...I mentioned the wine as a possibility (she drank two cups full), but I think the hair was the real issue.

I’m so sad I only discovered this channel in the past few months because you make my favourite MCU videos! There is something about the vibe, I can’t describe it… but it’s just very pleasant to watch. I’ve been enjoying watching these episode breakdowns every week, seeing all the slate predictions, and going back to learn about the timeline- thank you so much! ❤
That's so nice of you to say. I really do love making the videos and sharing my passion for the MCU with fellow fans. I love discussing ideas in the comments and it's built a very nice community where we can bounce theories off each other. Thanks so much for being part of the channel community!
I’m new to this genre.. not really into mcu movies but I started with Wandavision, loved
Now I’m loving Agatha all along
So now I’m watching all the movies 🎥 😊
That's awesome to hear. I love that WandaVision and Agatha got you into the MCU. I absolutely adore WandaVision and Agatha has been terrific so far. Hope you have a great time watching the movies!
Wouldn't Civil War be in the year Wanda and Vision began their relationship? Hence "Breeding 2016" lol
lol! Nicely done!
Man, the way you put things together to come up with theories is truly amazing. Really like the idea about teens' identity.
Thanks! I'm sure I'm missing some important clues, but it's alot of fun to try to put everything together. Been really enjoying the show so far!
Honestly, this show has been so much better than I thought it would be. The trailers made it look very Disney Channel but I decided to watch the first episode on a whim and I'm so glad I did. It's been great so far.
I agree...this show is exceeding all my expectations. Very happy with it so far!
I dont think Mephisto is involved with the sigil or Teen. The creator of the show is doing these breakdowns with The Wrap and mentioned that the sigil is supposed to be amateurish or something, which would make more sense to mean Wanda, who doesn't know much about spells, doing it subsconsiously to protect her children (I dont think Teen did it, or he wouldnt be so confused, unless its also an subconcious thing).
I think it's actually more likely that Billy's magic powers caused the sort of reincarnation/soul merge/possession thingy than Mephisto doing it (because what would he get out of that). He is an extremely powerful reality warper and can manifest things and shape reality based on his whishes in the comics. He also needs to really want to do something in order for his spells to work. So i could imagine he really didn't want him and Tommy to die and somehow influenced all of this, letting them survive post Wandavision. I also supsect that it was maybe his powers that ultimately helped open the Road, because he really wanted and needed it in that moment.
you know what this isnt a bad idea because that clip of agatha shaking teen's head could be her trying to convince teen to want to do something hard enough for them to escape wherever they were
Good theories! So I thought about the idea that Wanda cast the sigil, but it seems she would have known she did it (i.e. it wouldn't be an unconscious act) and if she did it intentionally, then I don't know why she was searching for her kids via the Darkhold. But perhaps Billy did it himself to protect him from the other witches? That's why I ultimately landed on Mephisto, but I agree, that's a long shot theory. Man, so many cool mysteries to unpack. Really enjoying the show so far!
could it be that Teen accidentally while studying or practice magic since apparently anyone can be a witch if they practiced enough and he unknowingly placed a really powerful sigil upon himself because he is actually Billy Maximoff aka Wiccan and he could even discover his powers trying to reverse this spell or it’s his wish at the end of the road
@@AbitofEverything4Ui think Wanda did it post mortem via the road. She's probably at the end and sleeping or meditating, trying to find a way back: thus manifests Billy's soul from WV into a dying Kaplan, creating a way back while also focused on her most important goal.
@@nailinthefashion That's a very cool idea. I'd love that to be the answer!
What if Agatha placed the sigil on Billy during the events of Wandavision? I long suspected that Agnes/Agatha did something to Wanda’s kids after Billy says “I like it here, it’s quiet. You’re quiet”. 0:59 Also, the way Agatha says “it suits you” to Teen kinda mirrors that vibe
That would be wild if Agatha did it and is faking not knowing what it means. Cool theory!
Civil War, 2016 is a huge deal for Wanda! That is when she became romantically involved with the vision! ❤ So the only part I’m not sure of regarding the wine is the Spain reference. Maybe just a hint at which language you need to translate.
Excellent point! Okay, perhaps the romance was indeed what they were hinting at. And yeah, I suspect the Spain reference was to help us know how to translate it.
Many things can make a person feel “bound”. I personally think when Jennifer says she is “bound” and all the water symbolism surrounding her episode, I think something happened with that doctor, maybe he tried to drown her or scare her but after that she became so traumatized that she bound herself. Locking away the witch inside, too scared and painful to bring out. After a while she started to believe her magic really was gone, but I personally think her “binding” is a response to some serious trauma and she probably still has access to it if she can work through that.
I looooooooved how this whole episode was a nod at modern day “kitchen witches”. I think that was a heavy influence not many people are talking about except for you! You definitely got a new subscriber tonight 🥳 many modern day people practicing witchcraft will refer to themselves as “kitchen witches” because they use their home, things at their disposal, and knowledge of the craft to create “potions and spells” that otherwise you’d only see in a big bubbling cauldron.
Of course this episode had MANY references to other shows and movies but I think the “modern day kitchen witch” challenge was beautifully executed.
I love your theory on Teen, too. We are in the same boat. I feel like the wind could blow me either way: Either he is Wanda’s son’s soul reincarnate or he is Wiccan. Remember that Wanda’s son even dressed like Wiccan during the Halloween episode of WandaVision! Either way this will be interesting to watch play out.
And WOW!!!! I’ve been trying to figure out how in the world Rio is going to make it on the road without being there from the start and your Mrs. Hart theory is the best theory I’ve heard!! I really think that’s how the next episode is going to start.
Also many publications have been referring to Rio as “Death” but I’m not sure how strong that theory is.
I think Agatha may know more about Teen than she is letting on 🤔 I also think it’s possible that Teen put the sigil on himself? In one of the trailers we see him at the end of the road with blue magic coming from his hands. Could he have had the magic all along, played dumb, and used this witches road to gain something else? Hmmm….
I can’t wait to watch more!!
Fantastic feedback on the vid. Loved reading it all. Yeah, the "kitchen witches" theme of the show was so well done. I really dig all the many layers of commentary the show is providing us. Every single line of dialogue has meaning and depth. Been a awesome start to the show. Can't wait to where things go from here!
a little fun fact, the MCU wiki covering "teen" has his actual name blurred out every time you would normally see his name in the wiki
I love that...the wiki is amazing!
I just checked, it's really blurred...BUT the page link contains the Real Name xD Also I went there by searching "Teen" on the wiki and it said "Real Name (Redirected from Teen)" xD
That’s awesome!
The end of this episode had me on a roller coaster of emotion. I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation when the kitchen was flooding, then I was flooded by relief (pun intended) when they went through the oven door, then I was laughing out loud when Agatha was screaming and flipping down the slide, then pure shock and terror when teen said, “Sharon’s dead,” I audibly gasped and screamed, “oh no!” This was a great episode!
Yeah, I agree...such a great episode. It sent our emotions all over the place. Fantastic writing!
I just realized something: There’s a nod to “Encanto” here re: Lilia getting chased out of town for accurately predicting misfortune.
Bruno didn’t get chased out of the Madrigals’ house. He left on his own, but the reason why is the same.
Great point! That's a cool connection!
Great breakdown. This series is so fun. They know how to reference other media in ways that feel natural to the storytelling. Also, the content of the series is familiar yet fresh even for comic geeks like myself. Excellent casting, but Hahn really shows her true lead actress qualities.
And one more thing, definitely their most wonderfully queer entry into the MCU.
I agree...such a great series. Awesome characters and incredible writing. Plus the representation is handled so well. I can't wait to see how things turn out as we march towards the finale!
Really great episode and really great breakdown. It’s so so crazy that we finally have confirmation of Mephisto in the MCU.
Really interesting how Rio is maybe death too. I doubt they will but it would be cool if they retroactively make a connection to Thanos with death too.
Yeah, wouldn’t it be amazing if Rio ends up having a past connection with Thanos. That would be so cool!
This channel has really different and interesting theories, comparing to other channels. Great videos!
Thanks! I do try to do something abit different than the other channels, since there are already so many good ones out there. Thx so much for watching and leaving your thoughts. Really appreciate it!
I love that you cover everything about the topic instead of jumping to past shows or movies. Its just refreshing, your train of thought flows like mine. I dont care who he is or how he got here, he is here.i believe Aunt Agatha traded Nicholas for the Darkhold, walked the road to get him back. But cheated. So no gift without purchase. I haven't made it to your theories yet. The show is literally painting that picture and no one is seeing it.
Also we use ingredients without taking them out of the package
Great theories about Agatha, Nicholas and the Darkhold. That makes a ton of sense. Really enjoying all of the many mysteries of the show!
I can’t believe Sharon/Mrs.Hart died. 😭
ikr? That was gut-wrenching. Hope she comes back somehow!
I love this series, I'm having a great time. I really liked how you connected the dots of your theory about the Teen.
Here my little contribution:
Rioja, apart from being the designation of origin of the wine, is a place in Spain. In the 2016 Scarlet Witch miniseries, where the Witches' Road was introduced in the Marvel comics, Wanda visited this region
I love that connection...thanks for sharing that!
I think that if Agatha traded her son for the darkhold that possibly you are right that the souls of Billy and Tommy could have come from Mephisto but with if it’s Agatha’s son soul split between the two.
Good theories. Yeah, there are still so many ways this could all go down. Can't wait to see the mystery continue to unpack with each new episode!
In his latest appearance in comics Nicholas Scratch actually agrees to become agent of Mephisto in hell.
Very cool...that could be a hint to the direction they're heading with things in Agatha's series as well!
About the "familiar by thy side" line in the ballad, maybe the word "familiar" here is a wordplay on "family", and with all the hints about Agatha's child and Teen's parents, maybe there is a connection here. Maybe we'll see them having a confrontation with "familiar" people? Or, if the theory that says that Teen is actually Nicholas is true, maybe that's what's happening, Agatha is walking the Road with a member of her family, a "familiar", by her side?
Great theories for the "familiar" line in the song. Yeah, I'm really curious to see where things go with that lyric.
more theory.... What has Rio been after? She has told Agatha that 'Wanda' has destroyed every copy of the Darkhold. The show made it clear by emphasizing that, showing us that Agatha was the previous witch who checked it out after wanda, and showed us the vision of Agatha with the Darkhold in the crib. What was the word that energized Agatha? "powerful'. Agatha wants her power and she believes she will obtain power or be given another copy of the Darkhold IF she completes 'The Witches' Road'. At least that is what Agatha believes, but I feel that her journey will change her mind on what she really wants or needs by the end of the road by wanting her son back. Rio may be an agent of Mephisto who needs or wants the copy of the Darkhold for Mephisto, which is why she used teen to break Agatha out of Wanda's Hex, used the Salem Seven to scare Agatha to form a quick coven to access the Witches road. Notice how the show also emphasized that once the door to the Witches' Road was closed, it would be sealed. Rio needed access to the road and knew that Agatha would not allow her to be a part of the coven so she disguised herself conveniently as Mrs. Heart to go along with the group. Rio will follow Agatha and help her reach the end of the road and reveal that her son's soul may be trapped in Teen's body in order to force Agatha to choose between the Darkhold or her son's life.
Very cool theory! I really like the idea that Agatha decides she wants her son rather than the Darkhold!
Sharon will become a ghost ! The Ballad says if one be gone carry on spirit by thy side. It also mirrors the way that Agatha was a ghostly guide for Wanda’s trip down the road in the comics.
I like that idea alot. Strangely, the closed captioning in episode 2 shows the song said "if sun be gone", but I like "if one be gone" alot better, so I hope it was an error.
@@AbitofEverything4U I bet they used AI for captioning.
ooof!
This is so hype and all the theories get me so excited for what's to come! I do believe that Sharon died because her hair wasn't involved in the antidote, but I like that theory that she's actually Rio. There's also that part of the ballad that mentions a familiar, could that be talking about Señor Scratchy the rabbit? In witch lore, familiars tend to be animals. Maybe 😭?
Good theory the rabbit being the familiar. I'm just not sure how they'll get him down there at this point, but I do think he would definitely fit the lyric perfectly!
After watching the latest episode it's now even more horrifying what Sharon went through now. Imagine watching a TV show with your husband dying.
Yeah, I agree, that had to be horrible for her. Poor Sharon!
Lilia's random predictions are already showing up. 1) Her screaming when she was first talking to Agatha and Teen was the foreshadowing of Teen screaming when the Salem Seven burst through the window by where he was sitting. 2) Her yelling "don't touch me" before their chanting was then said by Sharon in episode 3 when she wandered off from the group as she pushed through the foliage.
Good points! I was also wondering if some of those were her divinations. Do you think they need to be the exact same words or just the basic gist of the divination? I love all the cool mysteries this show is throwing at us!
@AbitofEverything4U I think it's the exact words or sounds. At least, that's what it has been the last 2 times. We'll have to see if that remains the same going forward.
Right...that's what I was thinking as well. But since Mrs. Hart said "Don't touch me" and Lilia said "Get off me", it seemed like that might not have met the requirement for the divination?
Another great video from mt favorite Marvel RUclipsr! Thank you ❤
Thanks so much...really appreciate the positive feedback and the support for the channel. Been having so much fun with this show. Can't wait to see where it goes from here!
To add onto your Wiccan/Teen theory, I think Billy Kaplan survived the car crashed but Billy M’s soul still went into him thinking it was a dead body. Billy K was then revived by paramedics. Billy has another soul living inside him and everyone mentioned Nicholas Scratch throughout the season could be making him question if Nicholas is somehow inside him buried deep down. Ofc that’s the misdirect and it’s Billy Maximoff all along.
Love that theory! Yeah, I can't wait to see how this all plays out. The mystery around Teen is so good!
Such a good series. So many good thematic elements and foreshadowing its crazy good.
I agree...the writing is outstanding. So many different mysteries going on all at once!
my thought with ms. hart is that, as a latent green which, therefroe pentacles, she's going to go through a rebirth and come back in some other form later. Killing her off so casually doesn't fit the vibe, but they needed to have at least a fake death to establish the danger of the road. her getting sucked down into the earth under the tree kind of reinforces the idea (to me) that she's a seed to be planted
Great theories...we may find out more in the next episode, as they deal with her death. Can't wait to see where things go from here!
I think what Lilia says in her moment of premonition are related to the characters in danger(?). Her first “get off of me” matches what Sharon said as she was walking off the road. And in this episode she says “I love you guys” and “try to save Agatha”, so maybe whoever says those lines next could be in danger or smt may happen to them.
You know, I wondered about that, but she actually said "Don't touch me" and so I assumed Lilia's divinations would be the exact words. But that said, you could be right. Thanks for pointing that out!
Great breakdown as always, I loooveee your theory of Teen, it all makes sense also i add when Teen run from Agatha's house a car hit him but Agatha are in Wanda's spell maybe in "real life" something else happen. So about the funko pop I'm so mad about it when I see them haha but thinking about it, it all makes sense about Rio's supposed being Death. That's the reason why Agatha hate her because "Death" took Nikki. Also when they're fighting it makes sense that Agatha say "If I took your power I would die", also when she said "You can't kill me it's against the rules" like everything is tied together.
But even with the spoilers I'm loving it, if they keep this rhyme it would be an awesome Marvel product.🎉❤ So excited for the next one
Before I forget I saw in Twitter a theory about Wanda in an episode of Wandavision she sings a song for the twins and they said that maybe Wanda unconsciously put a protection spell with that song (Actually the translation of the song makes sense) like the witches road opens with a song etc...so music is involved in witchcraft too. It's an interesting theory, even if it doesn't happen I want to share it ❤
I am so sorry about that Funko pop. I thought they officially released it and instead it turns out it was leaked. Argh! I never would have mentioned it in that case. I truly apologize. But that said, I agree, you are picking up on some very cool quotes that Rio made which makes her sound like death. And that's also a very cool about Wanda and the song. I love that!
@@AbitofEverything4U Noooooo don't worry about it, I also saw the Funko Pop on Twitter thinking it was official, almost everyone else have already seeing it
That's good to know. I just feel so bad about it, but thanks for saying that.
Idk how i never found this channel before.. awesome content!
Thanks! So glad you found the channel. I truly love breaking down the MCU content as there are always so many cool theories to discuss with fellow fans in the comments. Great to have you here!
Great analysis and theories!!!
Thanks so much...really appreciate the positive feedback!
In real life, a sigil is basically just a signature used to invoke an entity or being, it's not a binding spell. That's the only thing that broke my immersion this episode, but I am loving this show so far!
Edit: some people seem to not get my point, I know a sigil has power, I know a sigil can be used IN a spell. My point is that A SIGIL IS NOT A REDACTION SPELL. THAT IS MY WHOLE POINT
Yeah, the websters definition definitely doesn't match:
1. : seal, signet. 2. : a sign, word, or device held to have occult power in astrology or magic.
But what if the signature can be used in many different ways, and so Mephisto can bind him via knowing his true name as a Maximoff-- i think there's some wiggle room within the semantics
@nailinthefashion well I definitely believe the M to be for Mephisto as well. The part where one of the witches states that "A sigil is a redaction spell that hides something" is not correct because a sigil itself is not a spell, but you are right that a sigil can be used IN a spell. This particular spell would actually be called "binding of the tongue"
Sigils can be used in spells. I've seen them used in protection spells and even binding. There are binding runes, which makes a sigil. There are many ways a sigil can be used in the craft.
@Black-Cat1127 Yes, and my point was that exactly. Sigils are used IN spells. My point is that the line "A sigil is a redaction spell that hides something" is a misrepresentation of it's true meaning.
Lovely breakdown. Just fund you and subscribed, will be here every week!
Awesome...thanks so much for watching the vid and supporting the channel. I love doing the breakdowns each week and chatting with fellow MCU fans on what they thought about the mysteries. Great to have you here!
37:45 I never even considered that theory. And I love it
Yeah, it's gonna be so interesting to see how Rio enters the road. We'll find out in just over a day. Can't wait!
Read the comics: Billy and Tommy's souls were transfered into other bodies.
Billy becomes Wican. Teen is Billy (he inherited Wanda's traits) and Tommy inherited his uncle's traits.
Nick Scratch is Mr. Scratchy.
Alice represents the fire element and she's a "Blood Witch" which they said is a witch by inheritance.
Not "burned if they stayed" but they would down as witches were also drowned. Each element was a way to kill a witch was called out in episode 2 and also represents the four major elements (earth, fire, water, air) which each one of them represents. The 5th Element is heart which is what brings the collaboration they all hold.
Great vid by the way.
Thanks for that info on Billy and Tommy...they have been retconned a few times in the comics, but you are right on the money with the latest explanation for them. And yeah, it seems Alice is both a Blood Witch and a Protection Witch, as they call her that in the second episode. Lots of cool stuff going on with her character for sure!
Oooo, I love that idea of Sharon having been Rio all along, and Sharon still being alive back in Westview. I totally hadn't thought of that, but now I do suspect you're right! And yeah, it did seem like those hints at Teen being Agatha's son were obvious misdirection. That's really cool about whatever event happened to him being directly tied to Wandavision. I'm really interested to see where this goes.
Yeah, the mysteries in this show are so much fun. Love trying to piece them all together bit by bit!
One of the lines in the trailers from Rio “the bodies are really piling up” I think one by one, the witches are going to die, inevitably trying to”Save Agatha” from whatever is to come.
Excellent theory! Yeah, looks like the road is indeed very dangerous!
First time viewer but this and your other videos are amazing!! Keep it up!
Thanks so much! Really glad to have you here!
I do have a theory on the ballad. The line goes “If sun be gone we carry on, spirit as our guide.” I think maybe sharon will come back as a spirit of some sorts to help the coven out
I think that's a great theory...would be cool to have her guiding them along!
One little thing that cracked me up, after they all slid out of the house and into the Woods, I thought it was funny how everyone one the floor in mud and dirty, Agatha immediately gets up, pushing and kicking the others out of her way, just so she can be up first, and the others kinda look at her like “Seriously”
Yeah, that was pretty funny. Agatha is definitely showing her selfish side now that the Nosey Neighbor spell is gone!
Just noticed that the cover of the Silver Surfer comic has the tagline “The Power and the Prize.” Teen says that while he’s studied, power is what he needs, and Agatha in trailer footage says “I want my prize!”
Idk if that’s on purpose but it’s a cool coincidence if nothing else.
Very cool connection. Nicely done!
I feel like I’m wrong but at first I thought the “who’s Sharon” was going to be like a memory thing. Once someone dies they forget who they were.
Also I bet you’re going to be bang on with the Billy possession theory
Oh, now that's interesting. Perhaps her death did mess with Agatha's memory. Good suggestion!
I feel like Teen is like a subconscious part of Agatha's mind. He most likely represents reason in her mind. Every time Agatha does something that is 'wrong' it was always Teen that corrects her. Agatha didn't drink the wine, Teen told her to drink, Agatha didn't want to save Sharon, Teen told her to. There is always logic behind Teen's word/action. Agatha has walked the road before, so she knows she should not cheat.
Cool theory! Yeah, he does seem to be her subconscious trying to help her do the right things.
Great video, this episode was great, love seeing all of the girls fears and can't wait to learn more about them. After so long we finally got the name Mephisto dropped and seeing Death was cool too, that is a great theory about Teen i could definitely see it being true. Those fungo pops if accurate are insane spoilers,Poor Ms Hart though i do like the idea that she could come back to life and unlock dormant witch powers she didn't know she had.
Yeah, I really hope that Mrs. Hart does come back again. Would be cool to see her end up being a witch!
@@AbitofEverything4U Yeah i wonder what type of witch she would be? Hey if you could make a marvel show or movie that takes place in another universe that would lead up to secret wars what would you make it about?
I'd love to see a council of Reeds forming in a different universe. Would be great to see everyone who's ever played Reed hanging out together.
@@AbitofEverything4U That would be cool, crazy enought i would love to see a universe where a Miles Teller Mr Fantastic variant becomes the Maker and discovers that multiverse with the new goal of traveling through it,learning about it, the TVA and the Council of Reeds and Kangs and Incursions. Then making a plan to rule over everything before everything dies.
🔥🔥🔥
I think it would be so fun if in the second half of the show, people start saying, in context, the phrases that Lilia is randomly saying now. The Flash TV show did a similar thing and I loved it, just showing an attention to detail and continuity
I agree...lots of possibilities for how those divinations can wind their way into future episodes. Makes it alot of fun for fans who are closely paying attention.
Ms Hart and the wine its just a cool reference to That 70's show
Good point! Yes, I suspect that is a very sly reference to that 70s show.
Hey man never change ur content it’s awesome!
Thanks so much...really appreciate it!
A couple more thoughts and predictions/theories of my own:
I like how it was Alice (the Protection witch) who pulled Sharon out of the muck. And then made sure everyone else got through the oven escape route. (Lol, out of the sous vide and into the fire)
Jen is Water (her trial was Potions in an underwater house and she was "drowned" in her hallucination) and Rio is Earth, which makes Lilia Air and Alice Fire I guess? The bit in the trailer when Lilia "turns off gravity" during what looks like her trial...
It was Alice who had the orange bit of magic start to show in episode 2 when Agatha was trying to get the others to "blast" her right? Orange makes more sense than red with Scarlet Witch being so unique.
My guess for future titles (not necessarily in this order):
"Darkest hour, wake thy power"
"We carry on, spirit as our guide"
"Burn and brew with coven true"
"Follow me my friend, to glory at the end"
"Maiden, Mother, Crone"
"Gather sisters fire, water, earth, and air"
I honestly doubt any others will (permanently) die, as there is a quick shot of Jen climbing out of the ground into Westview - perhaps the final episode? And I still think Sharon will be back.
Death is the Tarot card that seems to apply to Rio of the six they used as promo material.
The others?
High Priestess - Jen (Lilia called her as much as soon as they met)
3 of Swords - Alice
Queen of Cups - Lilia
The Tower - Teen
3 of Pentacles (which Lilia says to Agatha in episode 2) - Agatha
The "meanings" of the cards have some interesting possible implications.
Rio sacrificed Nicholas to get the Darkhold and Agatha had NO CLUE. Her reaction in the hallucination was her real and original reaction or close to it.
"It's not my fault only a true coven can open the door" Agatha says when it seems the chant didn't work in episode 2. Maybe she was lying, but Sharon is the one who pointed out the door. Guided them to it almost...
Great points about the tarot cards. I need to discuss those in the next video as they do indeed hold some very interesting clues.
An interesting line to remember is that Agatha said to Rio that killing her is not allowed. Maybe that has something to do with the trade you theorized they made together with Mephisto.
Good point! Yeah, I bet that does have something to do with it!
I think one thing about your “Teen” theory is that it needs to involve Agatha in some way. Even though this is a Wanda follow-up, this is Agatha’s show so it has to tie into her lore/arc in some way.
But maybe Agatha’s arc/lore just involves solving what’s going on with “Teen” and not necessarily tied to his origin.
Regardless, the mysteries in this show feel far more intentional and interesting than Wandavision to me and I’m loving it.
That’s a good point… I do suspect Nicholas is going to be thrown in there somehow… I can’t wait to see how this all plays out in the end!
In some of the promotional material, they mention that Teen is the familiar of the group, I'm not sure how that works, but I certainly remember a few interviews saying that
I do indeed wonder if that's going to be the answer. Nice call!
I’ll say this: I was not into Teen being Billy until you laid out your theory. Completely turned me around on it, now it sounds like a cool idea.
I thought for sure Rio was going to be Blackheart, but maybe she will be Lady Death, or maybe both?
Yeah, I was in the same boat of not liking Teen being Billy, but as the clues keep coming out, I'm liking it more and more. And I think Rio can still be several different characters rolled into one. I will say, if Rio comes out of the grave of Mrs. Hart, then that sure seems like she at least has elements of Lady Death in her character.
Agatha already referenced Teen as her own familiar when courting Alice Wu I think and because Teen was the one who was unpoisoned, I think Teen counts as the familiar, further making a connection between him, Nicholas Scratch, and the rabbit connection.
You know, I wondered about that as well...but then it's weird that Agatha tried to keep Teen from coming along even though they needed a familiar. That's what made me ponder if there will be some other way to address that part of the ballad?
I keep seeing people everywhere saying that Sharon died because her hair wasn't added to the potion, which makes sense and probably is the case. But I actually like your idea that she simply didn't get enough of the antidote since she got a double shot of poison a bit better (and that'd mean that her hair was added off-screen). Here's why. Earlier, everyone insisted that Agatha HAD TO drink the poison, so they could move on, which makes sense, and we could interpret it also as the Road testing their loyalty or something like that. But then, it doesn't feel right to me that the Road didn't allow Agatha to skip the poison, yet it allowed the potion to work without one hair. You know what I mean? Unless the Road didn't see Sharon as a part of the coven from the start? But then again, the timer started when SHARON drank the wine. Another thing is that they gave Sharon the potion pretty much at the same time as the timer ran out, and then the oven opened. So, I wonder now if it opened because they completed the task (everyone got the potion) or the time ran out (meaning it'd open anyway). I dunno, I probably look too deep into it, but I wish it was a little clearer.
Excellent theories...yeah, they definitely hinted at both the double shot of wine and the missing hair as being issues, as well as perhaps the fact that they didn't get the potion to her in time. I agree that I wish it was abit clearer, but perhaps they'll tell us more in the next episode?
@@AbitofEverything4U I hope so! It'd make sense if the rest of the coven at least tried to understand why she died, and not just moved on.
Exactly!
A theory a lot of people had is that based off promos they bury Sharon and then Rio bursts out of the grave.
I like that idea...it's a perfect entrance for Rio!
Pigpen wasn't lying when he talked about your devotion to the franchise
Pigpen is such a cool dude...that was so nice of him to say and I try to live up to the compliment with each new vid!
39:28 Skeletor was already canon in the MCU based on Star-Lord's line to Ego about "a 800-foot statue of Pac-Man with Skeletor and Heather Locklear."
Good point!
I think teen doesn't have all the memories of billy maximoff, but remembers that his mother was a witch, and he might think instead of wanda, it's agatha, and the real reason why he wanted to go to the witche's road is to get all of his old memories.
Excellent theories! Love that idea.
7:17 agatha has referred to Teen as familiar a few times already
Great point!
@@AbitofEverything4U great video! Keep it up
@@WBSlashH Thanks!
The 4 elements could also reference the 4 traditional ways people accused of being Witches were killed.
Fire (burning)
Water (drowning)
Earth (pressing/crushing)
Air (hanging)
Great point! That could explain all of the traps waiting for them!
Grace i know you have a life, but i wish you'd do these streams 24/7! Looking forward to your next Agatha recap 🧙💜🔮💀
I love Grace Randolph. Her lives are amazing!
@@AbitofEverything4U LOLLL sorry! youtube has been malfunctioning on my laptop lately, don't know why this appeared here 🤣 watching your man-thing video now though, so good!
You tube can be pretty messed up like that sometimes. But I do love Grace. Watched her vids for quite some time. Her perspective is always insightful!
i think you're right about the sigil. it makes way more sense for another person (probably mephisto) to have brought her kids back and hid them from wanda. that explains WHY she couldn't find them in 616 in MoM, despite apparently existing in every universe.
i also think teen and rio are working together somehow. i don't think teen is really a witting participant in whatever rio is plotting, but they seemed to be conspiring at least to get agatha out of wanda's spell. maybe that's the extent of it, but it's possible that rio wants agatha on the witches' road for some reason yet to be revealed and teen was the one who suggested it, which agatha only goes along with because rio has sent the salem seven after her. i'll need more clues about what is at the end of the road proper before i can fully piece together this theory, but the first episode with the way both rio and teen were juxtaposed seems suspicious and i haven't seen anyone else mention it
I agree...sure seems Rio and Teen are working together. Will be interesting to see where things go with those two once Rio appears on the Road. I think she'll be entering next episode, so we won't have to wait long!
I think the words are “If one be gone we carry on, spirit as our guide” so Sharon will likely be back
I really like that idea. Strangely, though, if you look at the closed captioning for the song in episode 2, it reads "sun" instead of "one". But I do like "one" better, tbh!
Another awesome review! Thank you
Thanks so much! Really enjoying this show so far. Can't wait to see how it all plays out!
Not sure if anyone else has commented but 2016 is the year the Scarlet witch solo comic released where she walked the witches road
Ah! That's got to be it. Great catch!
I'm 98% in line with your deductions. One other thing to add is Wanda couldn't control the beings she created in the Hex. She created a stork in episode 3 and could not poof it away when she tried to hide it from Monica. In episode 4, Wanda couldn't hush the Maximoff babies or stop them from growing up. It would seem the chaos-created beings cannot be controlled by Wanda. So, Wanda's hex coming down may had affected the corporeal bodies of the chaos-created beings, like the stork or Maximoff twins, but not their souls. Those souls would be wandering about Westview/Eastview looking for a new corporeal body to inhabit. One other thing, if Sparky was a chaos-created being, even he could still be out there despite Agatha killing its corporeal being.
My prediction on Rio is she is the one who sacrificed Nicholas Scratch and Agatha stole the Darkhold from her. I think Rio wants Agatha to believe she was the one who sacrificed Nicholas. I think Rio is the one who put the sigil on 'Teen' to continue the facade for Agatha to believe he is her son. If Rio is 'Death' then the only way for her and Agatha to be united is for Agatha to die and that is the reason why she wants her dead.
Episode 5 might be the 80s occult episode and while it's shown in the promos Agatha gets possessed, it's possible 'Teen' is the one who's possessed with Nicholas Scratch's spirit. Nicholas could be led to believe Agatha sacrificed him and wants his mother dead so he may be working with Rio until he realizes he's been duped and turns on Rio.
Fantastic theories...I love the idea of Billy and Tommy's souls wandering about after the hex was taken down. It makes it all the more tragic that Wanda got hooked by the Darkhold while looking for them, when they were there in Westview all along.
@@AbitofEverything4U I've had to adjust my theory a bit due to episode 4. I don't think Rio put the sigil on 'Teen'. I think she knows exactly who 'Teen' is, but I believe Billy Maximoff put the sigil on 'Teen' to hide him from 'Death'. If Billy Kaplan actually died in the car accident, Death would be coming to collect his body. If Billy Maximoff entered into his body, his adolescent spirit would want to hide Billy Kaplan from Death. Billy would have no knowledge of it since he basically put the sigil on himself. Death could have been hunting for Billy for 3 years until their paths collided with Agatha.
Ohhhh! Love that!
RIOJA is a place in the north of Spain famous for their wine. They're usually red wine but Rioja is used as a kind of wine.
Red is ROJO (or roja).
Ah, okay, that totally makes sense. Thanks for sharing that! 🍷
7:38 Her line here absolutely breaks my heart after the end of the episode she just wanted to be invited to a fun party 😭
24:57 Her hallucination too it legit almost makes me tear up
I REALLY hope comic Death shows up I’d absolutely love some side comments about Thanos and his dumb plan annoying her or something
Yeah, this episode really tugged at your heart strings. The writing has been so good. And I agree, I'd love to see Death appear. Having her complain about Thanos would be hilarious!
I like how the timer went off like in the SAW movies
ikr? Loved that!
The greatest plot twist would be if it was tommy and not billy
That would be an epic twist!
I would have wanted the whole coven as Funko Pops. I ADORE Sharon, Lilia, Jen, and Alice.
I agree… It would be sweet to have the entire coven in Funko Pop form!
The thing that stuck out to me most this episode, which I think is a hidden Psychic Message, from Lilia, when they had just drank the poisoned wine, but long before the hallucinations (So, long before Sharon's Hallucination) Lilia says "I love you guys" and then if you look at the shot following, she looks like she's coming out of a trance. I think this is another clue in addition to *Screaming*... "Get off me!" ... "Try to save Agatha" and I think one of Lilia's final lines might be "I love you guys" because it was so out of character, she doesn't yet love them in the present, it might be one of Lilia's final lines in the series.
Very cool theory...yeah, I can totally see that being the final thing she says before either the series ends or (gulp) she ends!
No way, we're getting Saw in Marvel?! That's awesome!
You know, that's also interesting to think about because if this was Saw, in theory, everyone should be able to survive, but much like Saw V, it'll look like everyone but one can survive each trial. It's hard to say if Sharon Davis drank the antidote potion in time or not, and even then, it still has to take effect, even if this is magic. Someone could do everything right in a Saw trap, but be slow by just a few seconds and lose. I'm curious if each trial will end up killing someone or if that's just because Mrs. Davis was not even a practitioner of magic. Oh wait, yeah, the hair, that's probably what did her in.
And they said the thing! Mephisto is happening! Also, come on, in Lilia's hallucination, that's got to be Mistress Death right, not just a representation of the typical Grim Reaper, that's got to be Mistress Death.
Oh and a nitpick. Teen doesn't know which direction Counter-Clockwise is? I get that he's young, but if he knows what a Sous Vide is, if he knows what Chartreuse is, and let's face it, he's gay and he embraces tropes that come along with that with his obscure knowledge of very specific things in this house throughout the episode despite his more goth appearance outside it, he's going to have a nice watch or knows about antique clocks or whatever; 16 or not, Teen knows which direction Counter-Clockwise is; give me a break. I could see Peter Parker despite his smarts not knowing because he lives in a digital age, but after knowing what a Sous Vide and Chartreuse are, you know which direction to stir a potion. Maybe I'm looking too far into this, it could have just been the pressure of the time crunch, I play game shows better at home than I probably ever would on a set, but still, come on.
I like the idea of one of the Witches not making it out of each trap. That would be pretty cool and really raise the stakes of each trial. And yeah, I'm very surprised Teen didn't know what counterclockwise was. I wonder if that's a hint at a future reveal in a later episode?
Unfortunately, teens clock knowledge is true to real life with the prevalence of digital clocks. Some schools have taken out the old clocks all together or just leave them broken.
Yeah you looking way too far into it
@@msXxtonxXboyxx Good point...sadly many teens his age don't know how to read an analogue clock...even thought he ironically referred to analogue magic earlier.
I like what you said about Mrs Hart. What if it’s been Rio all along and as a sorta in memorial they try and burry her and that’s when Rio comes up from the ground like in the trailers
Right! That would make alot of sense and be pretty cool, too!
I think it would be cool for you to track the premonitions Lilia has and when they happen! Her first was “get off me!” And then Mrs. Hart said that when she got stuck in a tree.
I agree...I think tracking Lilia's premonitions will be alot of fun! As for what Mrs. Hart said, I wondered about that, but since Lilia technically said "Don't touch me", I kinda assumed Lilia's divinations would be the exact words. But that said, you could be right and perhaps we can check the first divination off the list as having occurred. Really enjoying the show so far. The writing has been amazing!
@@AbitofEverything4U omg thanks for reading and replying to this! I’m a big fan! You actually probably are right, I didn’t notice that little difference!
I love reading and responding to all the comments. Thanks for sharing your feedback on the vid!
Mrs. Heart/Sharon already said "Get off me" to the trees :)
I wondered about that, but she actually said "Don't touch me" and so I assumed Lilia's divinations would be the exact words. But that said, you could be right. Thanks for pointing that out!
I have a theory that the final trial is to sacrifice your familiar. That’d explain why she didn’t want to talk about the road, how she got the darkhold, and what happened to her son. This time though, she’ll refuse to sacrifice Teen for her power back because she grows to love him over the season. Could be completely wrong but I think that’d make sense
Very cool theory!
Massive spoilers
I was right about Rio after seeing the funkopop, so i think itll come down to her and Billy in the end. Maybe Agatha will be forced to choose one thing: Nich, Billy, or the Darkhold. Or Billy will get to the end, bring Wanda back, but that also brings the Darkhold back too since they're so entwined.
I'm happy cuz this means Thanos and Rio will probably end up meeting one day, and those actors bring so much to the table, it'll be a new zenith in quality for me.
Any way it goes, I'm SO pleased with this story so far. It's just so spooky and camp. Fave Marvel project by faaaaaaaar and I'll keep saying it
dont forget that death hooks up with Deadpool too!
Yeah, seeing Rio and Thanos meeting would be amazing. Loving this series so far. So much to unpack with each episode!
@@BSdetector in my head canon, Thanos and Deadpool meet and rave over a lady they met recently, realize they're both talking about Lady Death, fight, but then Deadpool offers a 3some. At first Thanos is hesitant but then DP mentions DP and the rest.. is history 🤣
@@nailinthefashion lol!
I do like the show throwing out a legitimate red herring in the form of who Teen is. I’m like pretty confident most people know who he is, but for the casual audience that’s trying to pick up the show, it’ll be a fun twist that connects things.
I agree...while I'm 99% sure that it will be Billy, I do love how much they are giving misdirects to keep us guessing.
I honesty thought the "I love you guys" was a reference to Guardians of Galaxy vol.3 where Groot says it 😁
lol! That would be an epic tie-in!
