Agatha All Along fans think theyโve figured out whatโs coming in Episode 6, and Scarlet Witch fans should be excited. Episode 5 just revealed that Joe Lockeโs Teen is Wanda Maximoffโs son Billy. So, social media has been buzzing since the moment the pictures of that crown hit the timeline. But, some fans have already tabbed Agatha All Alongโs sixth episode as a flashback sequence for the young witch. Cross referencing promotional materials, they discovered the Episode Guide graphic that Marvel Studios put out before the premiere has Episode 6 circled in red ink. With Wanda Maximoffโs son now confirmed for the show, it would make sense to have the Scarlet Witch get mentioned in the upcoming episode. Viewers were left to ponder how much Billy knew about his parents and the origins of his powers. It looks like this week will provide some answers.

Episode 6 could very well explain how Billy even exists considering his status at the end of WandaVision. Back in that Disney+ series, fans learned that Wanda Maximoff had conjured her sons Billy & Tommy and a version of Vision with the destructive power of Chaos Magic. Upon lifting her spell from the town of Westview, the boys and their father disappeared. (Not before a doppelganger of Vision flew out into the larger MCU. Yeah, WandaVision was wild.) However, itโs established that other places in the multiverse have variants of Billy and Tommy. So, Wanda threatened to destroy every universe to be reunited with them and paid for it with her life. Maybe, Teen is a variant? Could it be Mephisto striking a bargain with the Scarlet Witch? Or is it something else entirely? Weโre probably about to find out in Agatha All Along Episode 6.
The next installment of Agatha All Along is poised to set the table for the road to the series finale. Weโve already seen Billy in a crown, so we need to know where he came from and why he lured Agatha Harkness down The Witchesโ Road. If Episode 6 is indeed a flashback to the path that led this boy here, it would go a long way to answering some important Scarlet Witch questions while simultaneously giving us some answers about why Agatha has been keeping him around. With the line of, โYouโre so much like your motherโ still bouncing around in everyoneโs skulls, Marvel Studios could turn up the heat even higher if it decides to link back to Scarlet Witch with the upcoming episode. This is Agathaโs tale, but itโs become clear that she and Wanda Maximoff are intrinsically linked in the MCU. Billy has become a bridge for all of those connections to come into the light again.
Agatha All Along Has Been Teasing More Scarlet Witch Details
For weeks, Agatha All Along has dangled those Scarlet Witch Easter eggs for anyone paying attention. A lot of MCU fans are fully locked into the WandaVision spinoff series because of the possibility of Wanda Maximoff returning. It isnโt the only reason, but it certainly hasnโt hurt matters. Director Jac Schaeffer knows that people really want more information about whatโs going on with the Scarlet Witch. But, sheโs encouraging them to remember that Agatha All Along is about Kathryn Hahnโs villain, not our favorite Avengers. Talking to Entertainment Weekly, she acknowledged the long shadow that Elizabeth Olsenโs character is casting over the show. Itโs only natural the writer of WandaVision would be expected to help bring back an MCU favorite. Despite those thoughts, weโre focused on Agatha now.
โThere was a lot of consideration. Thatโs a great way of articulating it: her shadow. Agatha is not a character whoโs going to stand in anyoneโs shadow. So this is emphatically Agatha Harknessโ show,โ Schaeffer told the outlet. โHowever, we are in the WandaVision corner of the universe, so Wandaโs legacy has threads in this narrative. But, yeah, it is about Agatha. Itโs about her journey, itโs about the truth of her, and that is very much our focus with the show.โ
In everything leading up to Episode 6, thatโs been true. While there have been overt references to Wanda Maximoff, the focus has stayed on Agatha Harkness and her familiar. But, as Joe Lockeโs character revealed his identity this week, itโs only natural that fans might want to get some bread crumbs about the Scarlet Witch. While a full-blown cameo seems like a longshot at this point, thereโs still some hope out there for any information that Marvel Studios sees fit to divulge. For now, the wait continues. But, Episode 6 could bring a ton of excitement if Teenโs backstory ends up explaining whatโs going on with Wanda.
