We are officially over halfway through Agatha All Along, the Disney+ series starring Kathryn Hahn as the titular Marvel witch. The last couple of episodes included a major reveal fans have been waiting for since the show’s premiere and some much-needed background information for said reveal. But with three episodes left,this might not be the last twist Agatha All Along has in store for viewers, which is why a new theory has been making the rounds online: What if the show’s main premise, the journey along the Witches’ Road, is a creation of (spoiler alert) Billy Maximoff’s?
If for some reason you haven’t already caught up with the show, over the last two weeks, Agatha All Along finally revealed that Joe Locke’s mysterious character Teen is none other than William Kiplan, aka Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan, the son of Scarlet Witch (We have a more in-depth explanation of this reveal that you can read here). Billy has some of his mothers powers and has been hiding who he is from Agatha and the rest of the coven so he can complete the Witches’ Road, the legendary path that gives those who complete it the thing they most desire, and discover what happened to his twin brother, Tommy. However, with Billy still trying to get control over his powers, some think that he is the unconscious inventor of this version of the Witches’ Road.
This theory is supported by a few key pieces of evidence. The first is that, despite claims to the contrary, it still seems like Agatha herself is extremely unfamiliar with the Witches’ Road and its trials. It’s previously been theorized that she is lying about having completed the road, so she wouldn’t be able to tell if it’s indeed the real trial or a fake one. Second, the summoning of the door to the road in the second episode also only worked when Billy ran down to the rest of the coven and entered it first as he fled from the Salem Seven, who were hunting Agatha. The summoning didn’t work for Agatha, it worked for Billy because he was able to create it using the same powers of reality manipulation that his mother has.
The final piece of evidence is the form in which the trials of the Witches’ Road take. Each episode involving a trial transports the coven into a setting themed after a specific time period or style. We’ve had a Real Housewives-themed beach home, a ‘70s rock studio, and an ‘80s horror movie ouija board party already during the season. This constant shift between style and period influences is similar to how WandaVision regularly switched between different eras of television due to Wanda’s constant messing with reality in Westview when grieving the death of Vision and attempting to keep him alive in a world of her own creation. Since we don’t know the true extent of Billy’s powers, this could be an unintentional result of his overwhelming desire to complete the Witches’ Road, even going as far as making it into a reality in the first place.
With three episodes left in the series, there’s no telling if Agatha All Along is going down this road with its story. What is clear, however, is that the show will keep fans guessing until the very end.
