Agatha All Along Episode 7 Summary

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from Wednesday's episode of Agatha all the time.

Now that we know Teen aka Billy Maximoff's motive, he and Agatha are back on Witches Road.

When Lilia first appears on screen, she is devastated. She wears a pink dress and a crown and is dressed very similarly to Glinda, the good witch. But that's all for now, as the scene fades out to show Agatha and Billy wandering down the street again.

Agatha tries to get Billy to talk to her, but all she can get out of him is, “Where's Rio?” – a fair question since Aubrey Plaza's Green Witch was also missing in action. Agatha distracts.

“Do you have any other questions for your old babysitter?” she says. “I’m your mother’s former best friend.”

He throws another tough question at her: “Is Wanda Maximoff really dead?”

“Yes. No. Maybe,” Agatha replies shyly.

Agatha claims she saw a corpse, but isn't sure if anyone else did. They soon face their next test when they discover an eerie mansion in front of them. Billy still has a hard time trusting Agatha, and he says he has begun to question whether she ever took the path in the first place.

As they walk through the doors of the mansion, their clothing changes again. Agatha is dressed as Elphaba Evil (green skin and all) and Billy sports horns that closely resemble Maleficent's. After noticing their new appearance, they find a stone table in the middle of the room with the inscription “Your path leads out of time.” That's when Billy notices the tarot deck. When he picks it up, the timer starts.

He gives Agatha a tarot reading, which proves fatal as they soon realize that there are swords on the ceiling that would fall if they get the reading wrong. Agatha snatches the deck of cards out of his hand and says Tarot is not a skill and starts hitting random cards. More swords fall from the ceiling, one of which almost pierces Billy, who jumps out of the way just in time.

We are now back with Lilia and Jen is now with her. This appears to be moments after they disappear into the mud. As they try to find a way out, Lilia is confused and Jen is quite angry.

Lilia acts more confused than usual, and soon the audience is captivated as she asks Jen, “What is it, am I weak or crazy?” You may remember that Lilia randomly asked Alice in the music studio in Episode 4 . As she says this, the scene remembers that moment. Then Lilia continues this outburst, saying, “Alice, don't!” and the scene is reminiscent of the previous trial in Episode 3, where Lilia randomly shouted, “Try to save Agatha!” as they considered the challenge.

Then someone asks, “Lilia, what do you see?” and an old Renaissance woman talks to a young girl. She answers in Sicilian and the old woman replies: “You are traveling. How long has it been?”

The next time the camera pans, Lilia is sitting across from the old woman and answers, “Centuries.”

This woman says she is teaching Lilia her first lesson about tea leaves. As Lilia peers into the cup, she is transported back to Jen beneath the street. She gasps and Jen assumes she's confused again, but Lilia lashes out and insists she's not confused. She accuses Jen of thinking she is old and senile, and Jen retorts by asking what she is should see instead.

“The flow of time is an illusion, Jen. Most people don’t realize that,” she says, explaining that as a child she experienced that her life was out of order. She would see flashes in her head, and now it's happening again…and it's getting worse. She doesn't know why, but can only assume it means she's “near the end.”

At that moment she is drawn into the process, dressed in the Glinda outfit, with Agatha sitting on top of her. It turns out that Agatha pushed her to the ground to prevent her from being impaled by a sword. Oh, and Jen is there too, dressed as Lady Tremaine from Cinderella.

When Lilia sees Billy, she rushes towards him and pushes him against a wall. He apologizes profusely and explains that he didn't hide his powers because they caught him by surprise. Lilia realizes that he is reading her mind, and after the seal is destroyed, she says that she remembers Billy from the bar mitzvah. She pushes her anger aside because she realizes they need her help with the process. Billy asks if she is the one who gave him the seal and she admits that she was because she saw what would happen to him that night and knew he needed time.

At that moment she has another flashback to the last trial, when things went crazy in that cabin and Lilia screamed, “I hated that the first time.” Then it remembers the first time they met her, when she turned away from them and screamed with her hands over her ears. Suddenly she is back with the old woman and is still screaming.

“Now tell me about your life,” the woman demands, asking if she has a circle. Lilia wonders why, since things have never worked out for her in the past. She asks the woman how she can control what's happening, but the woman says her only job is to “see.”

Then she's back in the tunnel with Jen, trying to find a way to escape after being thrown off the road. (Talk about a confusing schedule.)

Jen asks why Lilia's ability eventually stopped manifesting, and Lilia says it's because she wanted it to. She started ignoring it and it disappeared. That's when they come across Agatha and Billy arguing as she and Jen fall through the door. This time no sword falls on her as she approaches the table to observe the tarot.

She sits across from Billy and is ready to give him a reading. He must ask a question that is essential to his existence on Earth. “Am I William or am I Billy?” he blurts out and the table stops turning. A very good question, she says.

Billy draws a card and it is the magician. She puts it on the table and a sword still falls, but Lilia is convinced she did it right. She continues as Billy pulls out The Sun, then… then the sword falls on Lilia and she screams, “Get away from me!” just like she did in Agatha's basement in the second episode.

She is back with the old woman and asks, “What did I miss?” The old woman pushes her and asks Lilia why she is embarking on this journey, to which Lilia replies, “To regain my strength.”

“Is it gone? Where did it go? “That’s not the real reason,” the old woman teases. Lilia replies, “I am a forgotten woman,” so the woman says she must remember. Lilia then reveals that the old woman was once part of her coven and, based on her abilities, foresaw that her entire coven would die from a plague before it happened. Still, she couldn't change it. The old woman has made peace with death, but Lilia obviously has not.

“When will it come for me?” she asks. “I fell. I will fall.”

The woman replies: “Yes. What are you going to do with your remaining time?”

Suddenly, Lilia floats over Jen, who is covered in mud after being thrown off the road. She explains that the Scarlet Witch's son drove them away telepathically and they must find their way back. She tells Jen everything and knows she'll forget all about it in a few minutes. At that moment they hear the Salem Seven hot on their heels and hide. As they watch them glide by, Jen wants to see what they're up to. But instead of going after them, Lilia explains that in the next trial they have to find Agatha and Billy.

Back in the test, all parts click into place. She realizes that she is the Traveler, also known as the Queen of Cups. She is empathetic, intuitive and has an inner voice that you can trust. She puts it in the middle of the table and all the swords stay on the ceiling. She throws down the three of coins for “What’s Missing.” The path behind is the Knight of Wands, and the path in front of us is the High Priestess. Obstacles? Three of Swords. With barely any time left, she finally reaches the destination… and the scene cuts back to Lilia and Jen, who fall onto the road again.

This time Lilia meets Rio. However, it's not Rio. It is death. Or: Rio is death. Remember how the Ouija board swore death was in the room with them? Looks like it wasn't wrong after all.

It goes back to the hearing room, where the ceiling of swords is about to collapse on everyone, and Agatha takes the death card in the middle of the table, saving her from being impaled. The ceiling pulls back and the door to the street opens. Lilia tells them that she has realized that Rio is Death.

Admitting she always knew, Agatha shrugs: “What can I say? I like the bad boys.”

Lilia leads them out and back onto the street before locking herself in the room and sacrificing herself for her coven. It appears that the Salem Seven were lurking, and Lilia managed to lure them into the hearing room, where she flipped the “Turn Flipped” card so that it was standing upright, sending the entire room into turmoil. It stuns the witches and sends them all flying through the air as the room turns upside down and each falls onto a sword. Lilia holds onto the table to save herself, but eventually lets go and allows herself to fall.

This is the scene we saw at the very beginning of the episode. The screen fades to black and then we see a young Renaissance girl running off to begin her first lesson on tea leaves with this old woman in Sicily.
