What Really Happened to Agatha’s Missing Son? AGATHA ALL ALONG Suggests She’s a Victim, Not a Villain

by

As a seasoned witch and observer of the mystical world, I find myself deeply intrigued by the enigma that is Agatha Harkness. Her journey along the Witches’ Road has left me questioning her true intentions, much like how a crystal ball can be blurry at first, but clearer with each gaze.

According to Jennifer Kale, the exact events regarding Agatha Harkness’ son remain uncertain, with some whispering of a chilling exchange. The rumor is that power-crazed Agatha traded her child for the Book of the Damned. However, one might think “that can’t be true,” given Agatha’s reputation as the most feared witch across the continent – the same woman who once controlled Wanda Maximoff and sacrificed her own coven in cold blood. If anyone has the capacity to swap her son for the Darkhold, it’s Agatha Harkness. Yet, the series Agatha All Along presents a vastly different perspective on this notorious sorceress. It seems that Agatha’s tale might be far more heartbreaking and less villainous than she wants us to believe.

What Did WandaVision Reveal About Agatha Harkness’ Past?

In an earlier scene within WandaVision, there was a flashback to 1693 when Agatha’s coven attempted to execute her. The Salem witches claimed that Agatha had gone against them by unlawfully acquiring “knowledge” beyond her “rank and standing.” For practicing the darkest form of magic, they condemned her to death. Interestingly, it was disclosed in Agatha All Along‘s debut that a literal death sentence carried even graver consequences than initially thought. Rio Vidal pointed out that witches are forbidden from taking the life of their own kind. It seems Agatha had transgressed to an unparalleled extent to receive such a severe punishment.

Initially, a resolute Agatha claimed she hadn’t violated the coven’s regulations, instead suggesting that the rules had “flexed” under her influence. Later, she admitted she couldn’t master “it”, appealing for their aid. However, even her mother refused her entreaties, labeling Agatha as inherently incapable of doing good.

Agatha managed to dodge her predestined path by harnessing an extraordinary ability to siphon power from others, ultimately leading to the demise of her coven. The series “WandaVision” hinted at Agatha’s transgressions and her formidable powers being directly connected to her manipulation of the Darkhold. This might be why her mother believed Agatha could never be virtuous. People who meddle with the Book of the Damned, even those with noble intentions like Wanda and Doctor Strange in “Multiverse of Madness,” often succumb to the book’s corruptive influence.

In the flashback scene from WandaVision, which Agatha herself recreated, it was apparent that Miss Harkness was the main antagonist due to her being a menacing witch with forbidden dark magic at her disposal. However, the episode Agatha All Along challenged our previous understanding of that scene and revealed the true events surrounding Agatha.

What Did Rio Vidal Reveal About Agatha Harkness on Agatha All Along?

The enigmatic character Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal appears to have a deep and intricate history with Agatha. Rio played a part in liberating Agatha from Wanda’s enchantment, but later, Rio launched an attack on Agatha and wished for her demise. Does this mean Rio harbors hate towards Agatha as she expressed? Or perhaps she still holds the affection for Agatha that she once did? Most likely, it is a complex mix of emotions, and we may have already glimpsed the reasons behind this.

I’ve faced situations similar to Agatha before – times when my own kin seemed to turn against me. Rio mentioned something about a witch confining Agatha within her mind, which isn’t an unfamiliar feeling, given my past experiences. If it turns out that Agatha’s coven betrayed her long ago, it could completely change the narrative surrounding her trial and the close call she had with execution. It makes me wonder if perhaps Agatha wasn’t the antagonist at all, but rather the one who suffered injustice.

What exactly was Agatha accused of? She didn’t dispute the allegations. It was revealed that she had been practicing forbidden dark magic and possessed the infamous Darkhold book. Moreover, Agatha is known to have stolen magic from others. The answer to many mysteries surrounding Agatha, her conflict with Rio, and the truth about her son might lie in understanding why Agatha desperately sought the Darkhold in the first place? In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, individuals always aim to obtain it for a specific purpose.

Why Did Agatha Harkness Want the Darkhold?

After obtaining the Darkhold, Agatha triggered a change in Rio’s feelings towards her. Without any additional context about their previous relationship, this shift could indicate that Rio holds both hatred and affection for Agatha. Prior to her encounter with the Book of the Damned, Rio loved Agatha for who she was. However, after studying it, Agatha transformed into someone whom Rio now dislikes.

If Rio’s account of Agatha’s coven betraying her is accurate (and there’s no reason to suspect otherwise), it might be that the tales about Agatha’s son are inaccurate as well. Most significantly, his disappearance could provide an explanation for everything that has happened to Agatha and her fixation on gaining power, particularly the power of the Scarlet Witch, who can create life. Agatha All Along seems to be hinting at a completely different narrative than the one Jennifer is familiar with.

Agatha didn’t trade her son for the Darkhold. She sought the Darkhold to get her son back.

In the third episode of ‘Agatha All Along’, we were introduced to the sinister tale of a corrupt trade, but it also revealed Agatha’s deepest fear and sorrow – the loss of her child. A vision of a baby’s crib filled with despair as a single tear trickled down her face. Upon uncovering the blanket, instead of finding her son Nicholas, she saw the Darkhold itself. This moment strikingly exposed Agatha’s vulnerability, displaying a side of her we hadn’t seen before on any show – honest, fearful, and heartbroken. This hallucination significantly affected Agatha, as it was evident from the start that she carries the weight of losing her son. Even during her role in the television show as a tough cop, there was still a space reserved for Nicholas.

Was Agatha’s son lost or was he taken from her? Was it her coven who sacrificed him, leading her to seek power they didn’t want her to possess? And did she resort to the Darkhold in an attempt to bring Nicholas back, much like Wanda Maximoff did in search of her sons? Similarly, various Stephen Strange counterparts have done so to protect their realms. [Paraphrased]

In a simplified manner, it could be rephrased like this: The mighty sorcerers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe often have compelling motivations for desiring the Book of the Damned. At first glance, after they’ve read the cursed book, we might perceive them as nothing but villains. But perhaps Agatha is also one of these tragic heroes, and we’re yet to fully understand her story.

We might find out when she reaches the end of the Witches’ Road for the second time.

Why Is Agatha Really Walking the Witches’ Road on Agatha All Along?

In simpler terms, Wanda has seized Agatha’s magical powers. However, as Wanda explains her intentions to retrace the Witches’ Path a second time to recover what she took, there’s no guarantee that her reasons can be trusted. As Jennifer advised Teen, “Stay cautious around Agatha.

It’s not necessarily suggesting that Agatha is pursuing something malicious or self-centered at the end of her journey in The Road. Instead, she might conceal her genuine motives because she’s reluctant to reveal her vulnerabilities and trust other witches. After all, the actions of her coven, attempting to kill her, can make one hesitant to open up. Could it be that Agatha is treading on The Road, which grants you your deepest desire, because the one thing she’s yearned for throughout this journey, the reason she even sought the Darkhold, is to reunite with her son Nicholas? And what if this was her original intention, to embark on this perilous path knowing it could lead to almost certain death? What could possibly be worth risking everything? Losing a child certainly triggers intense grief, which seems plausible as a motivation.

As a gamer, I’ve come to suspect that Rio, who surprisingly aided Agatha despite her reservations, seems to be the sole one privy to the genuine truth about Agatha and her past. It remains to be seen whether Agatha will uncover this truth when she reaches the end of her journey on The Road, which she’s undertaken in hopes of reclaiming her child.

Only, when she gets there she might learn she learn she already found her son.

Is Teen on Agatha All Along Really Agatha’s Missing Son Nicholas?

As a gamer, I’d rephrase that line like this: “Jennifer just hinted to me, the mysterious Teen with the sigil spell hidden on him, that she thinks Agatha wouldn’t recognize her own child if they suddenly appeared at her door. That comment was intriguing because, remember, I was the one who showed up unannounced at Agatha’s doorstep at the beginning of this show, and she had no clue who I was.

Could it be that Agatha was suggesting he has unique potential, as she put it, or is it that he’s the annoying character she referred to and she left him hidden away? It seems her perspective might allow for both possibilities. Perhaps she hid something extraordinary under a rock to protect him from untrustworthy witches.

A teenage boy looks up to Agatha and has consistently aided her throughout their journey together. Interestingly, the usually aloof and frosty Agatha displayed remarkable care for him during episode three and has relied on him since he first arrived. At times, her affection towards him has been reminiscent of a mother’s concern.

Is it possible that Teen is actually Nicholas, the one she’s missing and has formed an unusual bond with, unlike anyone else in a while? Or, like Agatha in WandaVision, might he be the series’ hidden antagonist, manipulating her unbeknownst to her? Our journey along the Witches’ Road will reveal both their secrets. We may not know what we’ll discover about either of them when we reach the end, but it won’t be shocking if Agatha Harkness isn’t as villainous as she appears to be.
