The fifth episode of Agatha All Along dropped on October 10, and it leaned heavily into horror. Agatha Harkness and her coven not only face the Salem Seven witches but also confront a new trial involving an Ouija board and ghostly possession. SPOILERS AHEAD... In this episode, Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) is forced to confront her past, including the events of the Salem witch trials, where she killed her mother and coven. The episode concludes with the death of Alice (Ali Ahn), who is killed when Agatha accidentally absorbs her power. However, the episode takes an even stranger turn when Teen (Joe Locke) unlocks his powers, causing Agatha, Jennifer (Sasheer Zamata), and Lilia (Patti LuPone) to be submerged in quicksand. In the final scene, Teen is seen wearing a headdress reminiscent of a certain well-known Marvel witch, Wanda Maximoff, aka Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen). ‘Agatha All Along’ Episode 4: Kathryn Hahn and Aubrey Plaza’s Lesbian Romance Leaves Marvel Fans Hot and Bothered!

It was widely known before Agatha All Along premiered that Joe Locke would be playing Billy, one of Wanda's twins, despite the show's efforts to keep his identity a mystery. Until the previous episode, there was speculation that he might be Agatha's abandoned child, a theory dismissed by her ex-girlfriend Rio (Aubrey Plaza).

Teen's Wiccan Reveal

By the end of episode 5, Agatha not only knows that Teen isn’t her son, but she also seems aware of who his mother is, taunting him without explicitly naming her. Given his mind-control abilities and that familiar headdress, it’s heavily implied that his mother is Wanda Maximoff, suggesting that Teen could be Wiccan.

Who is Wiccan?

In the Marvel comics, Wiccan, or Billy Maximoff, is an Avenger with magical powers similar to Wanda Maximoff’s, including mind control and reality-warping abilities. In one storyline, Billy and Tommy (also known as Speed) are Wanda and Vision's twin sons, though it’s later revealed that their existence was part of a warped reality created by Wanda. The twins were manifestations of the demon Mephisto and were eventually erased. ‘Agatha All Along’ Episode 3: ‘Mephisto’, #JusticeForSharon Trend on X After Kathryn Hahn’s Latest Outing in MCU Ends With a Tragedy!

Later, both Billy and Tommy are reincarnated into new families. Billy is born to Jeff Kaplan, a cardiologist, and Rebecca Kaplan, a psychologist, but he retains his magical abilities. Similarly, Tommy inherits super-speed like his uncle Quicksilver. Both Wiccan and Speed become members of the Young Avengers. Wiccan is openly gay and has a relationship with the shape-shifting superhero Hulkling.

Interestingly, Billy’s alternate-reality parents, Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan, are expected to appear in Agatha All Along in future episodes, played by Paul Adelstein and Maria Dizzia.

How Wiccan Fits Into WandaVision and the MCU

We’ve already seen a younger version of Billy in WandaVision, portrayed by Julian Hilliard, who reprised the role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The series confirmed that Billy and Tommy were creations of Wanda’s warped reality in Westview, where she had a ‘family’ with Vision. Despite fan speculation, no connection to Mephisto was shown in WandaVision.

Although Billy and Tommy were products of Wanda’s fake reality and technically weren’t real, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness establishes that Wanda had her children in other universes. The Wiccan we meet in Agatha All Along is older and real, which presents an anomaly if he is indeed Wanda’s child. Since Mephisto was referenced in an earlier episode, it’s possible the demon has a hand in this mysterious twist.

Could we also see Elizabeth Olsen return as Scarlet Witch to reunite with her son? And where is Tommy?
