Yeah, Aubrey Plaza is definitely Death itself. She was "in the neighborhood" as in collecting Sharon's body. She couldn't kill Agatha because it wasn't her time so it's not allowed. Agatha obviously can't take death's power either. Agatha begged her not to take Teen and she said the obvious line about getting the bodies of the witches that Agatha kills. The Darkhold made Agatha immortal which meant that she was no longer flirting with death but was hidden from death which would make Rio mad. And I think that Rio had to take Agatha's son which is the act that hurt their relationship so badly. Oh, and the Death tarot card in the promo cards is dressed just like Rio was with her knife in one hand and a flowering heart in the other.
I don't know if anyone caught what Lilia said, but I think at the campfire, she ended up saying one of her divination that she's always having....here she says 'you know we really hate each other at the beginning but now'
aubrey plaza is definitely lady death. “you get your power. and i get my bodies” every time someone mentions someone dying or death in general agatha glances at rio. in alice’s trial agatha says “no” to her cus she sees her looking at teen in the mirror. when teen is dying it can’t get more obvious when agatha looks at anxious rio and pleas “don’t”as if she’s begging rio to not take him from her. rio is 100% lady death. she even says her “scar” from agatha is because agatha hates her for “doing her job” : meaning she had no choice but to take nicholas from her because it’s her role in the universe to oversee all death.
@@dehosyt i made a similar comment on a different video. if you’re THE green witch you have full control over the living.. and if you control the living you would also have dominion over death. it makes perfect sense to me.
So it seems each trial is Connected and symbolic to an element and a method used to kill witches Water,Jennifer kale/Drowning Fire/ Alice wu/ Burning Air/ Lila calderu/ Hanged Earth/ Lady Death/ Stoned
Rio is Lady Death and had to take the body of Agathas son. That´s why Agatha hates Rio, for taking the body. Rio was talking about Agatha gets her power and kills the coven and Rio gets her bodies. When Teen was injured Agatha looked at Rio and said DONT.. meaning, dont take his body...!
19:20 - "I don't know if I should take that at face value or not." Same. "That boy isn't yours" could mean, "he's not your son"; but it could also mean "he's not your son anymore".
I think Rio was telling the truth in that final moment, and not looking to hurt. As Agatha walks away, we stay on Rio's face - and she seems sad, not pleased with herself and the reaction.
So what it seems is happening with Lillia is that as ya said she's dipping out of divination trances but it also seems like those bits of conversation are then absent from their actual context. The campfire seems to be where she would have actually said she loved them but she just trances and doesnt even say anything.. This probably means they wont hear her say to "Try and save Agatha" probably wont be able to a tell something to "get off of me" and also means that Alice probably wont get her warning to not do something in the context its needed too. Such a cool but tragic take on future sight
….i mean…it’s not bull…? It’s heartbreaking for Agatha she thought he might be, but if you know anything about Teen’s actual character at all then you know who his mom is
@@lykan2why would she lie about? Also he is definitely Wanda’s kid the funko pop spoiled it. They even made the classic Wiccan headband into a blue crown similar to Scarlet Witch’s crown
Getting a real Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, "Rhiannon" vibe from this song and their performance. Which would make sense, as it was a very witchy song from the 70s.
Yup; her alias translates to River of Life, she calls herself THE Green Witch, wears green and black, craves bodies, and is hurt because she was "doing her job" and not forgiven by the one she loves.
@@Sharkeysayswhy would it be awkward for her?? she’s very capable of being a sociopath. in fact everything in this episode points to her being lady death. every mention of death it lingers on aubrey who is acting anxious as if she can’t wait to feed on their soul after death. agatha even tells her “don’t” when teen’s dying. basically pleading to aubrey to not take another one from her.
I think Rio has something to do with death, whether she's actually Death or maybe a mix of Blackheart and Death, sort of the way Sylvie was a mix of Lady Loki and Enchantress? In that scene in the production room, after Rio said she came "up" she also said that she was waiting for Agatha to kill the others and take their power and then she "could get her bodies." Also when Teen appeared to be dying, that's when Agatha looked at Rio in a panic and Rio looked very interested until Agatha said don't. She has to have some sort of connection to death.
What I honestly believe is that río is lady death. The hints of corpses, deaths and how Agatha looks at her saying "don't" when teen is dying gives me the indication of that.
So... I was spoiled as to who Rio is. I did it intentionally, but it ended up confirming a theory I had after checking out the Marvel Studios Tarot Card designs. I won't tell you who she is, but I know who she is. It also recontextualized a lot of her dialogue for me in a way that made the spoiler fun for me, and so much a spoiler. Then again, I don't care about being spoiled on things, as it never takes away from the experience of seeing something unfold before my eyes.
I think the “path of least resistance” remark was about Agatha using Sharon, aka Mrs. Heart in place of the real witch meant to walk the road with as the coven’s “green witch.” Rio would have probably not have gone down the road willingly. They did summon her.
The song is the protection spell was such a great idea - I always love that kind of magic. Gave me a lot of Gillen vibes though I just finished rereading WicDiv and Phonogram so I'm biased.
I am enjoying your reactions a lot last episode I had a funny theory because of how much I watch Anime that Teen could be Agatha son she traded him hen he got reincarnated as Wanda son Billy but after watching this episode Teen most be just Agatha son or just will turn out to be Wanda son after all.
I was elaborating this theory, what if Rio and Agatha started as team up and as pact they can't kill each others. Rio's job is collect the bodies Agatha kills, then they fall in love, but Mephi doesn't like it bc.. is Mephisto, or maybe the relationship ruins the business. So, Mephi desides to interving by seducing Agatha (with his devil charm lol), she get pregnant (things happen) and Rio break up with poor Agatha. Time past and then Rio was order to collect Agatha's son but she refuse it to... I don't know
Nice theory 🤞❤ I think Agatha and Rio worked together. She said Agatha kills the witches and she gets the bodies(soul?!) and that's why Agatha was hated by many witches. So she took the soul of Agatha's son and that broke Agatha who used the darkhold to get away from her. Since she took Agatha's son she would know where he is and that's how she knows "Teen" isn't Agatha's son. Just a theory❤.
I think that, if the Death theory is correct, it's not the ENTIRE answer. I don't think Plaza is "just" Death. I think she's Gaea as well (Marvel's "Mother Nature" given form (and Thor's actual mom in the comics, but that's neither here nor there)). Somehow, one (Death or Gaea) was bound to the other. Death is now THE Green Witch (or vice versa), and Agatha had something to do with it in retribution for taking her son.
You're absolutely right!!..she went and sacrificed her son because she couldn't do it. Shes actually death...and shes actually lying to agatha thats really her son but shes trying to hide him from her...
She’s most certainly Gaea. Seems fitting with the earth tropes. She’s Mephisto’s baby girl that Agatha fell in love with. And Gaea Mephista had to do her father’s bidding for Agatha to get the Darkhold. And Gaea had to be the one to claim Scratchy boy. This is definitely NOT Lady Death (wrong continent) or Black Heart (too obvious and Black Heart is a farfetched male based character that’s a super stretch for those who don’t know) which some people are reporting. She’s an earth witch and we have the Mephisto and he had a daughter Gaea which was an earth witch.
I think Rio could be Blackheart or at least the same demon that Agatha made a deal with btw if you turn on subtitles they spell magick like this which is the proper way according to those who really practice the occult
Maybe I’m reaching but in this episode when Lilia said “ Alice don’t!” I think it’s connected to the first trial when lilia was with Agatha and said “ Save Agatha.” I think Agatha takes Alice’s power.
Different take on Agatha and Rio - maybe Agatha lost her son to Death and got the Darkhold for the same reason Wanda did. To bring him back to life, but Rio wouldn’t (couldn’t?) allow it. Not strictly by the comic lore, but then again . . . .
I just love that the show is deliberately sidelining renowned Broadway actress Patti LuPone every single time they sing the ballad. First they called her pitchy, this time she’s just switching between zils, maracas, etc every time she’s shown
The Big M would wet himself if he had to face Rio. I mean, she is THE Green Witch. The first, the definitive as it were. And what magic do green witches deal in? hmm?
I call BS on The Teen being attacked by the curse. And he could have just as easily sigiled himself to the conceal his identity from witches for the duration of his plans.
I still believe the boy might be Nick. Río Said "the boy is not yours." Se did not say he was not her son... I could mean he belongs to Mefisto for whatever reason...
Everyone keeps saying Sharon died because they didn’t add her hair to the potion, but if that was the case surely the potion just wouldn’t have worked for the others too? I think it’s more likely Sharon died because she had 2 servings of wine but only 1 of the antidote.
She's obviously Death and that's why she's not allowed to kill. If Agatha dies then she's with "Rio" forever. What was with the reaction to the gals being into her? Kinda looked like you were uncomfortable with the gayness which would be disappointing since you seem nice, but that reaction was high school flashback inducing.
I mean some people don't have the hook with dark, supernatural, spooky vibe,.i can get that But to not interested because of what content is inside the show, angry for what it is the show,review bombing, well...

This is actually the third version of the Ballad that we hear. The first was the opening theme for 'Agnes of Westview' in the first episode.
They also released a non reversed version of Lorna wu’s version
I don't know if anyone caught what Lilia said, but I think at the campfire, she ended up saying one of her divination that she's always having....here she says 'you know we really hate each other at the beginning but now'
I think the end of that was gonna be the "I love you guys" from episode 1 or 2, I think anyways.
@@Deliverance253yeah this is definitely it.
@@Deliverance253it’s from episode 3
and what she said to alice too

A Green Witch is one that can control plants (aka life). THE green which has full control over life (my theory)
@@dehosytdeath brings life. Isn’t it ironic.
@@dehosyt i made a similar comment on a different video. if you’re THE green witch you have full control over the living.. and if you control the living you would also have dominion over death. it makes perfect sense to me.
Decay exists as an extant form of life.
@@TDhexada funko pop already said it so....
27:05 Exactly this. I'm thinking instead of Thanos wooing Lady Death, Agatha wooed her with all the witches she's killed for centuries.
So it seems each trial is Connected and symbolic to an element and a method used to kill witches
Water,Jennifer kale/Drowning
Fire/ Alice wu/ Burning
Air/ Lila calderu/ Hanged
Earth/ Lady Death/ Stoned
I wonder what Agatha's element is
Spoilers about lady death. Not everyone knows
@@lightdarksoul2097 Spirit, often known has the 5th element
Her whole power is absorbing the power and even soul of a witch who would harm her
This show really said gay rights AND gay wrongs and I'm 100% on board. 😭
Rio is Lady Death and had to take the body of Agathas son. That´s why Agatha hates Rio, for taking the body. Rio was talking about Agatha gets her power and kills the coven and Rio gets her bodies. When Teen was injured Agatha looked at Rio and said DONT.. meaning, dont take his body...!
22:25 She could also be refering how she just rose from the ground when she was summoned. She came up from the ground
Since her name means "river of life" I think she came "up" from the Underworld.
21:35 You make a very compelling and good observation here concerning Rio. I’m really thinking Rio is Death myself.
Can confirm as soon as I finished the episode I immediately clicked on the video to see your reaction LMAOOOOOOOO
@5:17 she was literally skipping like it's the yellow brick road like this just gets better and better
19:20 - "I don't know if I should take that at face value or not."
Same. "That boy isn't yours" could mean, "he's not your son"; but it could also mean "he's not your son anymore".
another great reaction! No slight to the other super-talented actors, but Kathryn Hahn's acting is just FANTASTIC.
Agathas facial expression when she checked out the mailmans ass in wandavision will forever take me 😂
This show is INCREDIBLE. Absolutely everything I hoped it would be and SO much more
There was a note that said play me and this house is related to Alice. It’s a fun little reference to Alice in Wonderland.
Hell yeah... This ep is quite good, for me.. and Aubrey Plaza is as eccentric as she is 😂😂 gyatdang
She says Agatha needs power and she needs bodies. It looks like they made the pact together but Rio had a number of bodies to collect as her payment.
God I’m loving this show so much. Every week I can’t wait to see more!
Becareful out there, there were funko leaks that reveal who both teen and rio actual are. Thats all im going to say lol
I was so mad when I saw that. Damn funko
I think Rio was telling the truth in that final moment, and not looking to hurt. As Agatha walks away, we stay on Rio's face - and she seems sad, not pleased with herself and the reaction.
Agatha has mentioned the Daughters of Liberty!
They also mentioned there are Vampires in the MCU in this episode!!❤💜
So what it seems is happening with Lillia is that as ya said she's dipping out of divination trances but it also seems like those bits of conversation are then absent from their actual context.

Such a cool but tragic take on future sight
This makes me feel REALLY curious on what Lilia's trial will be like
If I searched right, the flowers Teen put on Sharon’s grave are wedding flowers… so there’s that for any interpretation
I think Teen put the sigil on himself, thats why the writers made Agatha said
me too, maybe to protect himself from agatha as a child because he remembered her when reincarneted
"The Boy isn't your's"
I call BULL!
….i mean…it’s not bull…? It’s heartbreaking for Agatha she thought he might be, but if you know anything about Teen’s actual character at all then you know who his mom is
@@jasonmarbach
That might be, but we also know that Marvel likes to change things for the MCU, soooooo....

Such a awesome episode. Also Nice Shirt, I managed to find Demon, House, Magic, and Mephisto in it's crossword.
That’s what’s good about this show it keeps you guessing and theorizing lol
This show is just soooo great
also that song is a fucking banger... really liked this version
I love this series
Getting a real Stevie Nicks/Fleetwood Mac, "Rhiannon" vibe from this song and their performance. Which would make sense, as it was a very witchy song from the 70s.
Thanks, Omni! 🧙♀
Maybe when she said "that boy isn't yours", she meant Agatha traded away her boy for the dark hold, so he isn't her boy anymore
I have a feeling that Rio is actually the entity, Death.
Yup; her alias translates to River of Life, she calls herself THE Green Witch, wears green and black, craves bodies, and is hurt because she was "doing her job" and not forgiven by the one she loves.
Which is why she was "in the neighborhood" once Sharon died 🤭
It would be very awkward for her to lady death. I think she’s related to Mephisto. As in Gaea Mephista
@@Sharkeysayswhy would it be awkward for her?? she’s very capable of being a sociopath. in fact everything in this episode points to her being lady death. every mention of death it lingers on aubrey who is acting anxious as if she can’t wait to feed on their soul after death. agatha even tells her “don’t” when teen’s dying. basically pleading to aubrey to not take another one from her.
If you saw the funk pop leak you know who Rio and Teen are.
i don’t think rio has orders , she works on a universal law that she has to take souls/bodies to the underworld
I need the 70's version of the ballad released like 2 weeks ago. It's so good.
For Pratchett fans Patty Lupone's character is basically Mrs Cake
I think Rio has something to do with death, whether she's actually Death or maybe a mix of Blackheart and Death, sort of the way Sylvie was a mix of Lady Loki and Enchantress?
