Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) in Agatha All Along

Fans can delight at the many pop culture references, MCU namedrops, and much more which are packed into the most recent instalment of theDisney Plusseries.

Below, we take a deep dive into all of the details we spotted to bring you a comprehensive guide to all of the Agatha All Along Easter eggs. You’ll need to be careful though if you’re not up to date, as we’re getting intobig spoiler territoryfrom here on out. Okay, let’s head down, down, down theWitches' Roadtogether…

Kathryn Hahn as Agatha in Marvel TV series Agatha All Along

Comic book-accurate Agatha: When Agatha appears to Wiccan as a ghost, she’s wearing the clothes similar to the ones she died in – though they seem to have had a bit of an decorative upgrade, her hair is white and her face has aged a little. With her get-upbeing comic-book accurate, the white hair seals the deal and more or less depicts Agatha as she appears in the comics (though comic book Agatha has short white hair).

“Let’s go find Tommy”: Just before the credits roll, Billy and Agatha set out to find Tommy. Given that most Marvel shows are a one-and-done miniseries, we’re wondering just what this scene is setting up in the MCU. Another WandaVision spin-off, VisionQuest, is in the works, and it follows White Vision as he struggles to rebuild himself after Wanda releases him from her grasp in the finale. It’s possible that Billy and Tommy could appear in the show, or that the Young Avengers will eventually form within the MCU.

It was Agatha all along: It’s Agatha who created the myth of the Witches' Road, using the ballad to lure in other witches and take their power. After Death takes Nicholas, Agatha lures covens to the open road and provokes them to attack her. Put simply, it was Agatha All Along.

The Craft:Not only does Billy have a poster for the witch-centric ’90s movie in his bedroom, the show looks to reference it again in the montage that reveals Agatha’s centuries-long scam. As it passes through different eras, one sees Agatha sporting a black biker jacket and orange-tinted glasses, which look suspiciously like the ones Fairuza Balk’s Nancy wears in the cult hit.

Wiccan in his comic-book accurate costume: In WandaVision, young Bill Maximoff wears a kid’s Halloween costume based on Wiccan’s red-and-blue costume in the comics. In Agatha All Along episode 8, we finally see Wiccan in his costume from the comics, complete with a blue headband that looks very similar to his mother’s.

Agatha in her WandaVision finale costume: It’s only fitting that Agatha meets her end in the same garb she was wearing in the final episode of WandaVision – that purple cloak and the blue blouse with white collar and gold-framed silhouette emblem underneath.

Billy hears Wanda and Vision’s voices: These are direct lines from the finale of WandaVision, with Vision saying, “Your mother and I…are very proud of you both,” and Wanda ending with, “Boys… Thanks for choosing me to be your mom.”

S for Speed: When Billy and Agatha find a body for Tommy’s spirit, they come upon the body of a boy who drowned. Rather than see his face, we get an ominous close-up of his sneaker. On the sneaker is an S, and we can only assume this is for Speed. This is the superhero name Tommy takes on when he joins theYoung Avengersin the comics (read more about that here). It’s also worth noting that the sneakers are blue and white, matching the color scheme of the Halloween costume Tommy wears in WandaVision (though the costume is a white and green color scheme in the comics).

More posters:We get another glimpse of the posters in Billy’s room in the finale, and there are some real gems. Among those we spotted was one for Buffy’s musical episode ‘Once More with Feeling’, which feels pretty apt. There’s also a Saw poster, which might have been where Billy got some of his inspiration for the trials from…

Agatha as the Wicked Witch:There have been many Wizard of Oz references throughout Agatha All Along, so we shouldn’t be surprised to see Agatha dressed up as Elphaba here, better known as the Wicked Witch of the West. In fact, the episode goes one step further, as Agatha tells Billy that the green-skinned witch was actually based on her.

Lilia as Glinda:Whilst Agatha is dressed as Elphaba, Lilia appears as Glinda, a.k.a. the Good Witch of the South, complete with tiara and all. She fits in well next to the Wicked Witch.

Billy as Maleficent:Joe Locke’s Billy meanwhile is dressed up as iconicDisneyvillain Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, donning the witch’s famous horns. He thinks it’s a good fit for him given they share impressive cheekbones.

Jen as the Evil Queen:Completing our quartet is Jen, who is dressed as Snow White’s Evil Queen in her hag form. She’s right at home in the spooky tower the makeshift coven find themselves in.

Rio as Death:For weeks fans have been speculating that Aubrey Plaza’s mysterious witch Rio Vidal is in fact a Marvel comic book villain named Death. Andindeed they were right,as this was revealed in this installment. Even the episode title itself was a big clue, named ‘Death’s Hand In Mine’.

Wanda’s fate:We getanother cluethat Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch may actually be alive, as Agatha answers Billy’s question of whether she really is dead with: “Yes, no, maybe.”

Dory:As Lilia is experiencing her life out of sequence, she goes in and out of lucidness, often forgetting things. This leads to Agatha in the episode at one point calling Patti LuPone’s witch ‘Dory’, referring to the forgetful fish in Finding Nemo and later, Finding Dory.

A reunion:When Lilia is doing a tarot card reading for Billy, she foresees ‘a reunion’ for him, which he believes refers to one with his twin brother Tommy, hoping to meet him at the end of the road.

Wanda and Vision:On the radio when the Kaplan family are driving home, a snippet of Wanda and Vision’s sitcom plays over the speakers.

William’s room:William Kaplan’s childhood bedroom is full of pop culture references, many of which have been staples of the show so far. Among the posters we spotted in his room were Alice in Wonderland, Wizard of Oz, Houdini, and Black Cauldron. There’s also a little model of Dorothy and the gang on the yellow brick road behind him at one point too.

Ralph Bohner:Guess who’s back?Evan Peters returns as Ralph Bohnerin the latest episode, who is now a Redditor that Billy meets up with to talk about what happened in Westview. It seems like he’s not been having the best time since he left, and Agatha still has his house.

Sparky:We finally know the truth too, as Ralph reveals that when he was under Agatha’s control, he “poisoned a dog”. It seems like we finally know who really killed Sparky then, after Agatha’s song suggested she was the culprit.

Lorna Wu:As well as having a Lorna Wu poster in his room, Billy is listening to her rendition of ‘The Ballad of the Witches’ Road' later in the episode too.

Jolene:When Billy is researching Agatha’s past, he finds out that she was actually Jolene in the famous Dolly Parton song. It makes perfect sense if you think about it.

Agatha’s T-shirt:Agatha is wearing a T-shirt saying ‘Bohner family reunion’ when Billy comes to her house. She is, after all, still living at Ralph’s home.

Kathryn Hahn in Agatha All Along

Wizard of Oz:There have been plenty of nods to the Wizard of Oz in the show so far, with the Witches' Road often feeling like an allegory for the Yellow Brick Road. In the latest episode, at one point Aubrey Plaza’s character does a little skip like Dorothy and co. do in the classic film.

Death becomes her:There’s another huge clue thatRio might actually be Death in the latest episode. When the group are using the Ouija Board and it spells out that they’re speaking to ‘Death’, Rio starts laughing and beaming while everyone else looks away uneasy…

Poltergeist:When the coven is using the Ouija board, the TV is stuck on static in the background. This seems to be another reference to a classic movie: Poltergeist.

Nicholas Scratch:We get another nod to Nicholas Scratch, Agatha’s son in the latest episode. When Agatha is stealing Alice’s powers, he tells her to stop after his name is written out on the Ouija board.

A crown for a king:Well, well, well, it turns out Teen is actually Wiccan after all, as is revealed in the final moments of the episode. But if his crown looks familiar, it’s because it’s very similar to Scarlet Witch’s, just in blue.

Familiar theme:The WandaVision / Scarlet Witch theme also plays during Wiccan’s reveal when Agatha tells him that he’s “so like” his mother.

Don’t skip the intro:After Sharon’s death, the gang summon another Green Witch to help them down the Road, which just so turns out to be Rio Vidal. After clawing her way out of the ground, a dirt-covered Rio shares a little chit-chat with Agatha and co before skipping forward, which brings to mind Judy Garland’s Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.

Iconic looks:“The Road changes for the coven”, Lilia tells the group when they find themselves inside the Witches' Road’s second trial. Their new get-ups look to be ’70s glam rock-inspired, with Agatha’s resemblingStevie Nicks and Lilia’s short, black wig and thick eyelashes honoring Liza Minnelli in particular.

Play Me:As the coven try to work out what they need to do to pass episode 4’s challenge, which winds up being ‘perform ‘The Ballad of the Witches’ Road’ to ward off a curse, Teen finds a record that reads ‘Play Me’. This is likely a reference to Alice in Wonderland, when the titular girl finds a bottle marked ‘Drink Me’ and a cake with the label ‘Eat Me’ in Lewis Carroll’s beloved 1865 novel.

Satanic panic:When Teen first plays the record, it accidentally plays backwards, which causes booming demonic sounds to reverberate around the room and curses them. (A viewer later took to Twitter to share a reversed version of the scene, which highlights just how much Marvel creatives polish their titles).

Red Haired Woman:On the cracked vinyl record ofLorna Wu and the Coral Shore’s version of ‘The Ballad of the Witches’ Road', there are a couple of other tracks listed including Cinnamon & Sage, Swan’s Song, Flick of the Wrist, and… Red Haired Woman. It’s not too far-fetched to think that the latter two could be a nod to Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff…

Rio is Death?:Given that she’s not a character from the comics, and Aubrey Plaza has already prepped audiences for a shock reveal, fans are desperate to work out who Rio Vidal really is. One of the most popular theories is that she’s Death, and episode 4 offers up hints to support such speculation.

“Magick, as it does, took the path of least resistance. Ferried the closest, most appropriate candidate down, or up…” she tells Agatha, explaining why she was the green witch their spell summoned. Up? As in, she resides in the underworld? Perhaps.

“What happens next?” Agatha whispers to Rio later. “I get the pleasure of watching what you do best: kill all the witches around you,” she replies. “You get your power, and I get my bodies.” Hmmm…

Three of Swords:Before Agatha All Along premiered, Marvel released some promo artthat seems to depict the show’s main characters in Tarot cards. Some of the cards have been explicitly mentioned in the series already, like when Lilia addressed Jen as the ‘High Priestess’, mentioning ‘Three of Pentacles’ when she listed potential candidates for Agatha’s coven, and ‘Queen of Cups’ is likely a nod to the wine-centric second episode. In episode 4, Lilia mutters ‘Three of Swords’ when it’s discovered that Teen has been wounded during the trial.

An Agent of Mephisto: After Jennifer Kale has a moment alone with Teen, she suggests a new possibility for his true identity: “An agent of Mephisto.” Mephisto is a demon lord who rules over his own dimension in the underworld. He torments Wanda AKA the Scarlet Witch in the comics, with fans speculating that he was lurking in the shadows during WandaVision. Though that wasn’t the case, Kale’s name-drop confirms that he exists within the Marvel Cinematic Universe – and that Agatha and co. may or may not come across him on their journey.

Mrs. Hart’s hallucination: When the coven is forced to consume the poisonous wine, each witch has a trauma flashback of sorts. Sharon Davis/Mrs. Hart is the first to hallucinate, suddenly yelling, “Wanda, I’m begging you! Let him breathe, please!” This is sure to be a call-back to the dinner scene in WandaVision episode 1, when Wanda is having dinner with the Harts. Mr. Hart, Sharon’s husband, begins to choke on his food after asking Wanda and Vision one too many questions, and is never really seen again throughout the show.

When Teen was 13: When Teen and Alice get a moment alone, he asks about the tattoo on her arm. She reveals that it’s a permanent symbol of protection that her mother forced her to get when she was 13. Teen replies, “A lot happened to me when I was 13.” Given that Teen is now 16 and the show takes place three years after WandaVision, this makes him 13 years old when Wanda was wreaking havoc over Westview. A popular fan theory is that Teen is actually Wanda’s son, Billy Maximoff – and now it seems all that more plausible.

Joe Locke in Agatha All Along

Graffiti:As Agatha and Teen walk to the latter’s car at the start of episode 2, the former walks past Wanda and Vision’s demolished house. ‘Evil witch’ can be seen graffitied onto the ruins as Agatha spits on the front lawn.

Wiccan:After pitching their idea to walk the Witches' Road to a trio of sorceresses in town, Teen and Agatha return to her Westview home to get ready for their new pals' possible arrival. Teen sweetly puts up a ‘Welcome Coven’ banner, but mean ol' Agatha tears it down. When she rips it, though, the ‘W’ stays in place, which some fans have taken to be a clue that Teen is actually Wiccan, the superhero alter-ego of Wanda Maximoff’s imaginary son Billy.

Theme song:While the end credits in episode 2 are the same as the first’s, this time, they’re set to Agatha All Along’s theme rather than an existing song from popular culture.

Agatha All Along

True crime shows:The show’s first episode sees Agatha still stuck in her ‘Agnes’ persona for the most part and, for some reason, she’s convinced herself she’s Westview’s finest detective. It’s clear showrunner Jac Schaeffer and the writers took inspiration from the likes of True Detective, Mare of Easttown, and The Killing – known as Forbrydelsen in its original language – here, given Agnes' look and personality and the make-believe opening titles (“Based on the Danish series Wandavisdysen”).

Witches Road song:As ‘Agnes’ drives to a crime scene in the opening few minutes of ‘Seekest Thou the Road’, she’s unknowingly humming the song that’ll open the Witches' Road

Where’s Wanda?:The body of ‘Jane Doe’, who we can assume is Wanda, is found with a library card that leads Agnes to discover that the deceased took out a book called ‘Dialogue And Rhetoric: Known History Of Learning & Debate’ before she died. As Agnes works out later, the first letter of each of the title’s words spells out ‘Darkhold’. She doesn’t twig, though, that the author’s name ‘Andrew Ugo’ is an anagram of ‘Wundagore’, the place in which Wanda supposedly died in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Bellevue:While she’s poring over the details over the loan, you can see a sheet on her desk that mentions ‘Bellevue’. In the comics, Bellevue is a medical facility in Manhattan which has seen many recognizable patients, like Bullseye and Daredevil.

Missing child:In one scene, ‘Agnes’ peeks into what is clearly a child’s bedroom in her home after a long day at work. She starts getting glossy eyed as she takes everything in; the soft toys on the bed, the drawings on the desk, and the choir-related award on the bedside. Interesting, the accolade belongs to ‘Nicholas Scratch’, Agatha Harkness’s son from the comics.

Familiar clothing:After realizing that she’s not actually a homicide detective named Agnes O’Connor, Agatha starts to “claw her way out” of Wanda’s illusion spell, which sees her transform into several versions of Agatha we’ve seen before, like spandex-loving aerobics-gear Agatha and pre-technicolor Agatha. Heck, she even dons those velour tracksuit bottoms that have ‘Naughty’ bejeweled onto them briefly. As all this happens, an alternate, instrumental version Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez’s catchy ‘Agatha All Along’ theme can be heard.

Señor Scratchy:Agatha’s rabbit Señor Scratchy appears in a couple of scenes in Agatha All Along episode 1. We were first introduced to the bunny in WandaVision, when Agatha lets Wanda borrow him for her fundraising talent show act.

Witchy tunes:Donovan’s 1966 track ‘Season of the Witch’ plays over the end credits. We needn’t explain why the song is relevant…

End credits:Speaking of episode 1’s end credits, we get glimpses of several famous “witches” in pop culture in the montage, from Snow White’s Evil Queen and The Craft’s Nancy Downs to a wand-holding Lisa Simpson in a pointy hat. A Bewitched-style cartoon of Agatha and a illustration from L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz also feature.
