Agatha All Along Episode 8 Recap


spoiler ALERT! This post contains details of the final episode Agatha All Along.

conclusion of Agatha All Along It's finally upon us.

Last week revealed more about Lilia's backstory and why she's been talking to herself throughout the season, but it also left viewers with a ton of questions to answer in the final two episodes. Read on for a recap of the final episode, titled “Follow Me My Friend, to Glory at the End.”

The episode opens back to the cabin from 5, with the camera closing in on Alice, who died after Agatha stripped her of her power. A hand brushes her face sadly, and she wakes up to face Ryo, aka Death, as we learned in Episode 7.

Ryo tells Alice, “It's time to go,” pointing to her lifeless body, which is still lying on the floor. Alice asks, “That's all? “That’s all the time I get?” She asks Ryo for more time, but Ryo reminds her that she died protecting someone, as any good protection witch should do. He and Ryo disappear out the door together.

Meanwhile, Jane is nervous as she bangs on the door to her final test, where Lilia sacrifices herself after a tarot reading to save them from the Salem Seven. Billy is also worried, but Agatha is a little busy because she is running around in Rio.

“Your house is shrinking,” Ryo taunted. “The bodies are piling up, like you promised.”

Ryo accuses Agatha of “straying” her away from Billy, whom she calls an “abomination” who is “disrupting the sacred balance.” Agatha becomes emotional as Ryo reminds her that she is walking down the street with “another woman's son”, and yells at her to stop talking.

Ryo quips that no one gets special treatment like Agatha, implying that Ryo has ensured that she has narrowly escaped death so far, but Agatha disagrees, saying That Ryo has only taken a little from him.

“And that's usually your move, right?” Ryo quips Agatha before asking why she allows herself to believe “those things” about what she did to her son. Agatha says: “Because the truth is too terrible.”

Outside the trial gate, Jane is reassuring Billy that Lilia wanted to stay behind to save them. They then begin discussing Ryo, as Jane says that the Green Witch has shown us who she was from the beginning.

“So Agatha's ex-husband is Death?” Billy asks. “That makes sense, too,” Jane says with a shrug.

They set out to find Agatha, who is with Rio, now discussing Billy's mission to find Tommy at the end of the road, which Rio calls “violating” and Agatha thinks is a waste of time.

“His brother is not there. Not yet anyway,” Rio says, explaining that Billy has “stole another life” but that her twin hasn't, and her goal is to help Tommy do the same before Billy does. Have to stop.

“Then take him away,” says Agatha. But then, she realizes that Ryo can't take her, because if he died, he would just be reborn again and she would lose him. He needs to willingly go with her, to which Agatha promises to convince him, only if Ryo will let her go. She wants death to stop chasing her, at least for a while.

“And when I die…I don't want to see your face,” she says.

Ryo reluctantly agrees, before heading to a remote location in the forest, where she cuts the air with her knife, leaving an empty hole as if the forest is just a paper background rather than a practical world, and vanishes. It happens.

When Agatha finds Billie and Jane, she overhears the teenager saying that she will “never be anything more than an unhinged witch.” Ouch. But, Agatha has bigger fish to fry, so she tells them they have to take it to their final test.

This test will involve Earth magic, and they no longer have the Green Witch, so Jane will need to step in again to use her potions knowledge to help them overcome this.

As they walked, Agatha noticed the shoes they had left at the beginning of the road. They realize that the road is a circle. And the beginning is also the finish line.

So, how do they get out?

Agatha is angry and frustrated, and insists that they keep going. Jane says she doesn't want to face the street again, to which Agatha replies, “Okay! Stay here!”

But, as she moves in, Billie has other plans. He reminds them that they took off their shoes out of respect for the road, which he has completely lost. He puts his shoes back on his feet, and jumps…

Suddenly, he is unwrapping himself from the body bag in a steel room. Agatha is there, and so is Jane. Each in their own body bag. Agatha guesses that it is a version of her basement, although it looks completely different. Jane notices that it is illuminated with grow lights, but Agatha wonders how they will grow anything without water or soil.

One of the grow lights lights up, indicating that the countdown has started. They flicker one by one as they consider what to do.

In conversation, it emerges that Agatha is actually the one who bound Jane before she could use her magic. Naturally, this upsets her, even though Agatha insists that she did not know it was Jane she had cast a spell on. In the 1920s she was only practicing witchcraft for money and Jane was someone else's target.

Jane takes out a piece of Agatha's hair and binds her hands with it to perform a unbinding ritual. “You have nothing,” she repeats over and over again. And just like that, Jane gets her magic back.

But then, she disappears.

Agatha explains, “The street gave him what he was missing.” She tells Billy, “It might just end here. I have come for power. You have power. Give me juice.

Billy refuses, believing that if Agatha gets what she wants he will be left alone in that room. So, Agatha offers to help him find his brother. She tells him that Tommy is not waiting “there”. At least not in the body.

She tells Billy that Ryo is trying to stop him from finding his brother, because that would require him to steal the body like Billy did. Agatha tells Billy to sit down and close his eyes, which he obeys.

He then asked her to remember her last moments with Billy – they were 10 years old, living in Westview. He remembers being with his parents, about to fall asleep, and Tommy was beside him. He can hear Tommy breathing heavily as he sleeps, and Agatha tells Billy to breathe in the same rhythm, encouraging him to block out the noises as his mother's world collapses.

Agatha grabs Billy's head and tells him to find a place to go to Tommy. He says he can't find any place, but Agatha knows that's not true. Many people die every day because Tommy's body is not there.

Finally, he lands on one. A boy was pushed into a pond as a prank, but he was about to drown. In agony, Billy asks, “Agatha, am I killing this boy so my brother can live?”

He screams for the last time, and then disappears. “No, Billy,” Agatha replied after he left. “Sometimes, boys die.”

She sits alone in a steel room, as the grow lights go off one by one. The three only glare when she opens her locket and takes out her son's hair and rubs it on her face, before she realizes it could be the key to her escape.

“Out of death, life,” she says breathlessly, before letting her tears fall on her hair and burying them in a small patch of soil across the room. As the last light flickers, a flower grows from the soil. All the lights come back on, and the room begins to collapse. Rocks and mud fall on Agatha, and she runs to the door and yells for someone to get her out.

The door opens, and she walks out onto the street and back into Westview. She looks up and sees Ryo sitting on top of her house. As the wind blows, the sky becomes darker and greener, the ryo makes a crisp sound. Agatha tries to use her powers, but they get nowhere.

“As agreed, I took out the baby for you!” Agatha insists. But that wasn't the deal. He had to surrender himself so, Ryo is taking Agatha in his place. She begins to cast a spell on the Earth to “drive out the evil” from Ryo, but Ryo quickly foils her plan. Amidst Ryo's attacks, Agatha continues to try to perform magic, but is soon tied up by Ryo and unable to move.

At the same time, a flash of blue light knocks Ryo over the edge. And here to save the day is Billy Maximoff, or should we say Wiccan, in full costume.

“Don't take it all,” he says before destroying Agatha with his powers. And she doesn't. Once she's got what she needs (and a little more, of course) and she's back in her full glory, she releases her hold on Billie's spell.

Ryo still wants one of them, indicating preparation for the duel. Agatha blows up Billy, presumably in hopes of saving him from the crossfire, as she comes face to face with Ryo. He returns just in time to save Agatha from the fatal blow and sends her back to Ryo.

Agatha and Billy have a heart-to-heart, where Agatha says that they will not escape death. She offers herself so that Billy can live. However, as soon as Ryo returns, Billy tells him that he will willingly go with him.

“Take that. You heard it. Boy, as promised,” Agatha says to Rio, leaving Billy feeling betrayed and confused. “What should I say? I am an unconditional witch.”

Billy pleads with Agatha in his mind: “Agatha, I know you can hear me. “Is this how Nicky died?”

She stops in place and turns around, walking towards Ryo and kissing his lips passionately. Ryo's magic wraps around Agatha, who floats in the sky and allows death to take her. She falls slowly to the ground and, as her body sinks into the ground, daylight dawns over Westview.

Ryo tells Billy he is free to go, and he leaves without hesitation after snatching Agatha's locket from the ground. He passes through Westview, gets into his car, and drives away, horrified by what has happened.

He goes back to his home in Eastview, where William's parents are upset. After freshening up, Billy goes to his room to find several reminders of the road, including a Lorna Wu poster, a statue of the Wicked Witch of the West, a Ouija board, and more.

As he reflects on the trip, he realizes “it was me.” He hears laughter and turns around, yelling at what he sees behind him.
