As a gamer with over two decades of Marvel Universe under my belt, I must admit that “Agatha All Along” is quickly becoming one of my favorite Disney+ series. The blend of comedy, drama, and music in this show is simply enchanting. This week’s episode took us back to the 1970s, and boy, did it ever bring back some memories!
This week, the focus shifts to Alice Wu-Gulliver in episode 4 of the Disney+ Marvel series, “Agatha All Along”. The storyline delves into a musical trial set in the 1970s with Agatha Harkness’ coven. Following the demise of Mrs. Hart last week, the team found an unconventional replacement for the Green Witch in the form of Rio Vidal, who reappeared in Agatha’s life after being summoned to fill the vacancy created by Sharon’s death in episode 3. Accompanied by Aubrey Plaza’s witch, the coven approaches another enigmatic house adorned with a door depicting another phase of the moon. However, Alice Wu-Gulliver expresses no interest whatsoever in participating in this trial.
Upon arrival, the witches are dressed in trendy ’70s attire. (Fans will undoubtedly share their appreciation for these nostalgic costumes on social media.) As they explore the house, the coven stumbles upon a metronome which sets this week’s trial into motion. They must all perform “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road”, specifically Lorna’s rendition. Yes, the iconic version of the spell was once performed by Alice’s mother in the 1970s. Her band, Lorna Wu and the Coral Shore, were renowned back then, and her captivating cover of an ancient spell unknowingly brought magic to a larger section of the MCU. However, we learned last week that Lorna disappeared on The Witches’ Road when Alice was young, leaving the witch with deep-seated trauma over this event.
Regardless of the turmoil, the metronome is causing an unprecedented rise in witch burnings at an alarming pace. The room is also inhabited by a mischievous demon who’s been assaulting the coven and incapacitating Teen. To save her fellow witches from being burned, Alice must perform a powerful rendition of “The Ballad of the Witches’ Road” near the piano. In this critical moment, the song featured in the promo for Agatha All Along reaches its climax. By embracing her family’s heritage, Alice helps the coven bring down the building and advance to the next challenge. However, things may not be as they seem for our beloved witches as they approach Episode 5.
More Drama With Teen In Episode 4
In episode 4 of Agatha All Along, the storyline delved deeper into the enigma surrounding Teen. When Teen got injured severely, Agatha Harkness became frantic, not because she had a sudden change of heart as an antihero witch, but possibly due to other theories circulating among fans. Some speculate that Joe Locke might be portraying Billy Kaplan or Wiccan, while others think he could be playing Agatha’s lost son Nicholas Scratch. In this episode, Rio Vidal clarified that Teen isn’t the boy in question, and Agatha smiled and departed, hinting at a potential revelation.
Jac Schaeffer, the director, discussed with Entertainment Weekly the frequent Wiccan speculations and her strategy for unraveling the mystery. She dislikes keeping secrets from the audience only to surprise them suddenly, as she finds no merit in such a tactic. Instead, when considering the veil surrounding his identity, the primary concern is why this secrecy exists. What purpose does it serve? The answer lies in the impact that his enigma has on Agatha. How does it affect her? What drives and emotionally moves her due to this mystery?
In the same interview, the director ponders over the intense enthusiasm about the Mephisto hints in WandaVision. “It still gives me a chill,” Schaeffer said. “My main priority is viewer satisfaction, so I get worried when people jump ahead. I have faith that people can decide what kind of experience they want. However, I find solace in knowing that the path may be winding, and I hope it’s an enjoyable one… It saddens me a bit when I see reactions from people who were ultimately let down by certain things. But in creating ‘Agatha,’ it wasn’t something I was overly concerned with at the time. Frankly, that level of fandom is beyond my grasp.
