I felt like they were trolling us during the whole cicada scene. (Hence why Pietro was constantly asking her those questions.) She comes out and says that she duped Wanda with the fake via “crystalline possession” since necromancy of the “real” Pietro (à la Age of Ultron) wouldn’t work – he was on another continent and riddled with bullet holes. It’s seeming less and less likely that “Fake Pietro” (“Fietro”…lol) is actually a real crossover from the multiverse – instead just a construct by Agatha to try to get more information from Wanda about what she was doing and how she was doing it. Though I suppose it could be a reference to Magneto’s helmet. The M looks quite different in the House of M comics so it’s certainly not a blatant reference to that. ![]() It looks like a simple M can refer to twin gods and/or relationships and trust – but I don’t see anything remotely corresponding to the other rune that is shown. My quick google searching doesn’t turn up any obvious Easter Egg meanings for these runes. For what it’s worth, I still think that the mystery book is the Darkhold…but I suppose it might also be the Book of Runes that Wanda has also encountered in the comics. Then again, she’s talking to him – and normal rabbits don’t eat meat (including birds and cicadas)…….so maybe not.Īgatha explains that Wanda’s powers are useless here because Agatha has cast the basement with runes. Agatha whispers to her rabbit that “she does look shocked to meet the real us” … suggesting that perhaps Scratchy is just a rabbit after all and his name is just a nod to Agatha’s son in the comics, Nicholas Scratch. I have no doubt that this will continue to be useful if and when we see a final showdown in Episode 9. In this scene we also really get the first taste of how it’s useful that everyone’s magic has its own color, as you can see who’s doing what to whom. Still, it’s more than a little harsh that her mother is leading the charge…and so all the more satisfying when she defeats them all, pushing their power back at them and killing them – then taking the brooch that we’ve seen her wear throughout the show off her now dead mother’s neck. She’s begging for mercy but a few odd expressions suggest that she knows she isn’t innocent. ![]() ![]() We open with Agatha’s backstory – set in the time of the Salem witch trials but instead it’s her coven that is trying to do away with her for practicing dark magic and acting beyond her station. She’s been trying to get that information out of her since the beginning and now is going to force Wanda to face her past in order to get to the root of her power. She just sensed an incredible number of powerful spells happening all at once and came to see what was happening and how. In the MCU it appears that Agatha didn’t know Wanda before this. Episode 8 is really about one thing – Agatha trying to figure out how in the world Wanda made all of this happen.
