As a die-hard fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), I’ve been captivated by the intricate and layered narrative of Agatha All Along. The finale left me with more questions than answers, especially about Nicholas Scratch. The theory that Death (Rio Vidal) could be Nicky’s father is gaining traction, and it seems like showrunner Jac Schaeffer is subtly confirming it.
After a week since the final episode of “Agatha All Along”, there’s still much to explore and questions fans are eager to have answered. One of the biggest enigmas yet to be clarified isn’t about Agatha, Billy, or the coven, but rather a character we barely knew: Nicholas Scratch. The finale delved into Agatha’s past and showed Nicky’s birth, leaving viewers curious about his father’s identity. Although the series doesn’t explicitly reveal this, fans have their own hypothesis – and it appears that showrunner Jac Schaeffer may be subtly confirming it. In an interview with Backstory Magazine (via ComicBookMovie), Schaeffer hints that Nicky could be the offspring of Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) and no one other than Rio Vidal/Death (Aubrey Plaza).
As a gamer, I’d put it this way: “Occasionally, during our gaming sessions, we’d catch ourselves asking, ‘Does that character remind me of Rio? Does she resemble Aubrey Plaza?’ It seems like the audience and viewers are in tune with our subconscious thoughts for sure.
In the series, fans have widely speculated that Death, as portrayed by Schaeffer’s character Rio, might be Nicky’s biological father. This theory gained momentum when the finale showed Rio appearing to Agatha during her labor and later, Agatha mentioning she had not cast a spell but instead created the child “from scratch”. The theory grew even stronger with Nicky’s tragic death as a child, where he chose to abandon his usual method of killing witches to return home to his mother. Before dying, Death instructed him to go back and say goodbye to his mother not once, but twice, and they were even seen walking away holding hands. Schaeffer finds it intriguing that fans are so invested in the story of Agatha and Rio, and how Nicky might fit into this narrative, an aspect she didn’t anticipate but hopes will be explored further.

Schaeffer expressed surprise at how passionate the shippers were, stating, “I didn’t expect this level of enthusiasm.” He continued, “You never can tell what will resonate or capture people’s interest. The fact that so many people are interested is astounding to me. I hope that in the MCU we’ll get a deeper look into the history between Agatha and Rio.
As a gamer, I’m following the latest speculations about Nicky’s parentage, and Schaeffer’s comments are just the newest addition to this intriguing debate. While she appears to be hinting at the narrative direction in ‘Agatha All Along’, she’s also admitted that the story might be beyond her control now. In an earlier chat with Variety, she explained how the writers crafted Agatha and Rio’s history, even contemplating Rio as Nicky’s father, but decided to reserve some parts for a future tale instead.
Schaeffer remarked, ‘This matter doesn’t factor into the current storyline for me.’ He continued, ‘If I did have a solution to share, it wouldn’t be part of this account. Therefore, it seems like a topic for a future discussion that might not necessarily fall under my jurisdiction.’
Although it’s not confirmed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), the concept of Rio being Nicky’s other parent adds an additional layer of sadness to Agatha and Rio’s narrative in “Agatha All Along.” This is especially true when we consider that as Death, Rio had to take Nicky from Agatha, which explains the hostility between them during their fights, such as the one in Agatha’s kitchen at the beginning of the series. Additionally, it makes the tender moment in Episode 4, where Rio informs Agatha that Billy (then a teenager) is not her son, incredibly poignant. Lastly, the emotional climax between Agatha and Rio, when Agatha kisses Death to save Billy, suggests a reunion of former lovers who may have been deeply affected by their shared loss of Nicky.
