At the trial, Agatha, Billy and Jennifer wake up in a morgue; This is also a situation suitable for trial. the The Green Witch herself. After Jennifer reverses the binding spell Agatha cast on her and disappears from the Path (more on that later), Agatha and Billy must find what they’ve missed. Agatha helps Billy find Tommy and identify a new body for his soul, and is then left alone to find a way out of the trial. Using a dandelion seed stored in her locket, she is able to create life from death, ending the trial and returning him to where they started.

Rio, of course, is waiting for him in all her spooky, witchy glory, and a war begins between the two ex-lovers. Billy arrives in full Wiccan garb, allowing Agatha to use some of her power against the odds. After a touching heart-to-heart moment and a brief moment in which Agatha seems perhaps unchanged, she makes the seemingly selfless decision to sacrifice herself so that Billy, and by extension Tommy, will have a chance at life. In true Agatha style, she comes out (finally!) by kissing Rio in the most dramatic way possible. He appears to absorb some of Death’s power in the process, which appears to kill him.

What happened to Nicholas Scratch?

Episode 9, “Maiden, Mother, Crone” begins with a flashback to 1750 and the birth of Nicholas Scratch. As Agatha gives birth alone in the forest, she sees Death appear before her, although he looks a little more dignified than Rio’s modern clothes. Agatha begs her love to spare her son, and he grants her request, at least for a few years. Rio can only give Agatha more time with Nicholas, not eliminate her fate completely.

After six years of wandering together and helping his mother feed on the power of other witches, Nicholas is approached by Death, who has come to collect them while they sleep one night. It may be a coincidence that this happens the only time Agatha fails to steal the power of the witches she defrauds, but it may also be how Agatha convinces Rio to give them power this time; giving him plenty of power. bodies to be taken instead.

What Was the Way of the Witches?

We learn that The Ballad of the Witches’ Lane was a song they created together when Nicholas and Agatha were together. After her death, Agatha used this to trick the witches into going with her to the middle of nowhere so she could steal their powers. It never became a real thing until Billy got involved.

Just like Wanda created the Hex WandaVisionBilly created the Witches’ Path from his imagination. All the pop culture references and iconography are because of her, proving that she’s a lot more like her witch mother than she realizes. He may not have found her at the end of the Road like some fans had hoped, but it shows that he’s still living through her in many ways.
