Spoiler Alert: This article dives into major plot twists from Season 1, Episode 5 of "Agatha All Along," now streaming on Disney+.

Since the announcement that Joe Locke, star of "Heartstopper," would join the cast of “Agatha All Along,” fans have been buzzing with theories about his character’s identity. And just like that, in the dramatic close of Wednesday's episode titled “Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power,” it was confirmed that Locke is indeed playing Wiccan, the son of Wanda Maximoff, better known as the Scarlet Witch.

The episode ramps up quickly with high-stakes drama. Agatha (portrayed by Kathryn Hahn) becomes possessed by the spirit of her mother, Evanora (Kate Forbes), during a tense Witches’ Road trial reminiscent of classic 1980s horror films. In a shocking turn, Alice (Ali Ahn), freed from her family curse, attempts to liberate Agatha. However, Agatha begins draining Alice's powers to the point of no return. The turning tide comes when Teen, still credited as "Teen" at this point, cries out the name of Agatha's deceased child, Nicholas Scratch, triggering a chilling response from beyond.

Unfortunately, Alice suffers a tragic fate at Agatha's hands, leaving Teen reeling and furious, challenging Agatha's intentions. The tension escalates as Teen confronts Agatha about her hunger for power, stating, “You wanted her power. That’s what this has always been about for you, isn’t it?”

Agatha’s demeanor shifts drastically as she acknowledges the truth in Teen’s accusations, almost amused by their confrontation. In a dark twist, she comments on how much Teen resembles his mother, hinting at his true identity as Billy, Wanda's son, who possesses considerable magical talent.

The intrigue deepens as Teen gains powers, embodying a vivid blue magic that compels other witches to confront Agatha. The episode culminates with Teen donning a crown reminiscent of Wanda’s, solidifying the connection between him and his magical heritage.

While the revelation of Teen as Billy, who becomes Wiccan in the comics, serves to answer longstanding mysteries, it opens a Pandora's box of new inquiries. Fans continue to speculate: Did Teen feign his lack of magic? Did Agatha inadvertently awaken his hidden abilities? Who shielded his identity from the other witches? And crucially, how did Billy return from oblivion?

As we anticipate the final four episodes of "Agatha All Along," even more questions linger. Billy's comic origins involve a complex web of magical dealings, possibly involving a fragment of Mephisto's soul, the devil of the Marvel universe. However, the show hasn’t explored these intricate details, hinting instead at a multiversal storyline that may have revived him.

A wave of excitement has surged through the fandom as viewers receive confirmation of Teen's identity, indicating a significant moment for LGBTQ representation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Unlike previous characters who have had vague or tokenistic portrayals, Billy's character signifies a powerful, openly gay superhero integral to the MCU narrative.

Billy stands out not merely as a representation of LGBTQ identity, but as a fully realized character crucial to the unfolding Marvel saga. As the series progresses, fans are eagerly looking forward to uncovering how his story will intertwine with the broader Marvel universe and what implications his return holds for Wanda and the future of superheroes. Stay tuned—there’s much more magic to come!
