5 big questions we have to answer in the Agatha All Along finale

5 big questions we have to answer in the Agatha All Along finale

3 minutes, 21 seconds Read

The end of the road of the witches appears to have been reached on Agatha All Along – unless the series gets a surprise second season renewal – and the finale arrives on Disney+ on Wednesday night. And at the beginning there are still a few big questions left unanswered.

First, let's catch up. At this point, only Agatha (Kathryn Hahn), Billy (Joe Locke) and Jen (Sasheer Zamata) are left in the circle; the others died in previous episodes. Death herself is also still at stake, as we officially found out last week that Rio Vidal (Aubrey Plaza) is actually Lady Death.

By our count, the group still has two trials to go through, assuming Rio wins. And if that happens, what's next? We'll certainly find out, but first let's go over the answers we're dying to see in the episodes.

1. Is Tommy alive?

In episodes 5 and 6 we found out that Billy is actually looking for his brother Tommy. According to Billy, he senses Tommy out there, but he just can't find him. However, Billy is still figuring out his powers.

So is Tommy really somehow alive? Did he also find a new body outside the hex? The mechanics will no doubt be fascinating when he's around – but for now it's still an if.

2. Is Rio really trying to kill Agatha?

To say that Rio and Agatha have a complicated relationship might be an understatement. In episode 1, Rio storms in hot to Westview and back into Agatha's life. Once Agatha is finally freed from the spell, Rio attacks her at home and wishes her death of all kinds (which makes more sense now that we know her true identity).

But in Episode 4 we learn that the women are exes and Rio hurt Agatha long ago just for doing her job. Did this job cost Agatha's son Nicholas Scratch? Who knows (probably us, by the end of the night). However, there is clearly still some affection between the two, as we see in a private moment between them shortly afterwards.

When Agatha's mother tries to claim her daughter during her trial, Rio immediately jumps to Agatha's defense to ensure her safety. So yes, it's complicated.

The question is: Does Rio actually want Agatha dead? Or perhaps she has been protecting them for centuries?

3. Will Agatha get her powers back?

Agatha's journey into the future was, at least on the surface, always about regaining her powers. Assuming she survives the whole endeavor, will she get her purple back at the end of her journey? Is this actually what she really wants?

This is the key to Agatha and we need to know it!

4. Who will make it out alive?

Yes, unfortunately we had to specify “assuming she survives” above as the route has proven fatal. According to Agatha herself, last time only one person survived the journey with her (many assume it was Rio, but we don't know for sure).

So far we've lost Mrs. Hart (Debra Jo Rupp), Alice Wu-Gulliver (Ali Ahn) and Lilia Calderu (Patti LuPone). Rest in peace, you absolute legends. At the end of her trial, Lilia determined that Jen is the way forward, but will she survive? Will one of them?

5. Is Teen William or Billy?

During Lilia's trial last week, Teen asked an important question: “Am I William or am I Billy?” He has struggled with his identity for years and has very few memories of the two boys.

Our understanding is that William died in that car accident and Billy invaded his body. But is it permanent? It's important for Teen to find out his true, current self, and hopefully we'll get an answer in the finale.

Agatha All Along is now streaming on Disney+.
