‘Agatha All Along’ Finale Left One Big Mystery: Why Did Agatha Keep Killing Witches?

As a seasoned gamer and storytelling aficionado with decades of binge-watching under my belt, let me weigh in on this Agatha All Along saga. The finale was a rollercoaster ride that left me both heartbroken and intrigued.


In the last two instalments of ‘Agatha All Along’, we’ve reached the conclusion. Although it didn’t offer a blissful ending for every character, the finale still carried a touch of sweetness. From the very beginning, episode 1, we’ve been eager to learn about Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch. As hinted in the series, Agatha is said to have given up her son to acquire Darkhold, which is likely the reason for the widespread disdain she faces within the magical community.

The final scene revealed that Agatha is not a monster for what she did to Nicky, but rather her history with her son stretches back centuries. When Agatha was about to give birth in the wilderness, Rio Vidal appeared at exactly the wrong moment, foreshadowing unfavorable events.

It’s generally believed that Agatha’s son was expected to be stillborn, and Agatha struck a bargain with Rio. The specifics of their agreement were never fully disclosed on screen. Rio merely hinted that she couldn’t “rescue” Nicky but could extend his life instead.

For the remainder of the flashback, we witness Agatha and Nicky relentlessly slaying witches. It seems that Agatha began killing witches as a means to pay the cost required by Rio, which granted more time for Nicky – essentially, one life was traded for another, energy for energy, ultimately leading to someone’s demise in order for Nicky to survive.

The situation becomes intricate as on a particular night, Nicky and Agatha are unable to eliminate their assigned targets. Moreover, it is noticeable that Nicky departs under cover of darkness, accompanied by Rio, who subsequently meets an untimely end.

After waking up with a heavy heart, Agatha finds herself deeply saddened, unable to bear the thought of seeing Rio again due to their strained relationship, largely caused by Rio’s taking of Agatha’s son. As time passes, she lays her son to rest and grieves at his graveside when a young witch emerges, requesting Agatha to guide her along the Witches Pathway.

Agatha acknowledges, fully aware that Witches Road is a hoax, and soon afterward the entire tale becomes clear. Despite the death of her own son, Agatha continued to hunt witches for centuries, claiming countless lives. This earned her an ominous reputation in the annals of history.

It seems there might be a compelling reason behind her actions. One plausible theory suggests that Agatha became ensnared by the allure of power. Perhaps she continued to swap witches in order to extend her own existence, buying more time. Even after her son’s passing, Agatha struggled to adapt to life without that source of power. She persisted in taking, and Rio chose to disregard her because it’s possible that death cannot claim witches unless they willingly consent or some tragic event occurs.

She had placed her heart alongside her son, leaving little to fear losing. Essentially, she sought greater authority and longevity without regard for those potentially ensnared in the conflict’s path.

It’s worth noting that Agatha had a history of malicious actions prior to having her child, as confirmed by her mother. Consequently, it fits well within her personality for Agatha to persist in killing witches, even when it appears unnecessary.
