In Episode 3 of Agatha All Along, Agatha’s narrative takes a captivating turn as we dive into the intriguing yet eerie atmosphere of the Witches’ Road. While the other witches are eager to embark on this mystical journey, Sharon expresses her concerns, feeling as though she has been kidnapped. After some lighthearted conversations, the coven stumbles upon a stunning yet isolated mansion. Upon entering, they discover that this location is the setting for their first trial, filled with terrifying horrors and illusions. As each witch indulges in a glass of wine, hallucinations begin to unfold. So, let’s explore what Agatha experiences during her hallucination.
What Does Agatha See in the Hallucination?
In the third episode of Agatha All Along, Jen realizes that Teen is too naive to grasp Agatha’s real intentions. She warns him about Agatha’s dark past, revealing that the witch didn’t hesitate to sacrifice her own child in her pursuit of the Darkhold, suggesting the same fate could await him.
After entering the mansion, the coven, except for Teen, drinks wine. Agatha pretends to drink the poisoned wine while feigning its effects. Once the witches finish their drinks, a timer is set. The wine is poisoned, and the witches must locate an antidote before time runs out. The poison triggers immediate symptoms, causing noticeable swelling in the witches’ faces, albeit temporarily. Jen points out that the rapid decrease in symptoms indicates the wine was tainted with Alewife’s revenge, a poison that first causes swelling, then leads to dizziness, hallucinations, and ultimately death.
Agatha urges the Poison witch to concoct an antidote quickly. However, before she can commence, Agatha begins suffering from hallucinations, encountering a man who labels her an “inconvenient woman”and attempts to attack her. Simultaneously, Lilia Calderu and Alice Wu-Gulliver fall victim to their own disturbing visions. Teen observes that Agatha has not ingested the poison, cautioning her not to cheat, or they might not escape this predicament.
Agatha consumes the wine after the rest as a means to force her own terrifying visions while the coven prepares the antidote. Among the chaos, she hears a baby’s cries and soon spots a cradle. Approaching it with tears in her eyes, she lifts the sheet, only to find the Darkhold lying within the cradle instead of a baby.
It becomes evident that the poison has exposed the witches to their worst fears. For example, Alice is haunted by an apparition of her deceased mother, while Agatha’s encounter with the crying baby references her troubled past. The phantom child strikingly reminds Agatha of her own lost child, revealing the guilt she carries. It is suggested that she may have sacrificed her child for the Darkhold; this moment reflects her inner turmoil, blurring the lines between her dark choices and tragic loss. Yet, it remains uncertain whether Agatha genuinely traded her son for the Darkhold or if the loss stemmed from the book’s sinister influence. Regardless, reliving this painful memory in the third episode of Agatha All Along undoubtedly weighs heavily on her.
