In Episode 7 of Agatha All Along, we are thrust into a whirlwind of magic, deception, and chilling revelations. With more questions than answers, this episode leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, especially as it delves into the mysterious past of Lilia and the treacherous tarot trial.
The Tarot Trial: Agatha vs. Billy
The episode opens with Agatha trying to provoke Billy into talking. “Where’s Rio?” he asks, a fair point since Aubrey Plaza’s Green Witch has been missing. Agatha, deflecting, shifts the conversation to their next trial—an eerie mansion that looms ahead. Upon entering, their clothes transform, adding a surreal twist to the tension: Agatha becomes Elphaba from Wicked, and Billy dons horns resembling Maleficent.
In the center of the mansion lies a stone table with the cryptic message: “Your path winds out of time.” Billy notices a tarot deck and begins a reading. Agatha, impatient and dismissive of tarot’s importance, yanks the cards from him, causing chaos. As random cards are slammed onto the table, swords fall from the ceiling, one nearly impaling Billy.
This scene is a masterclass in suspense, with the looming danger of the swords reflecting the precarious balance of trust between Billy and Agatha. It also cleverly introduces themes of fate and the flow of time, which play a pivotal role in the episode.
Lilia’s Flashbacks and Time Travel
Meanwhile, Lilia, with Jen by her side, wrestles with her perception of time. Her sporadic flashes into the past have left audiences baffled in previous episodes, but this time we get clarity. Lilia confesses that she has experienced life out of sequence since childhood, catching glimpses of the future or past in seemingly random flashes. As she speaks to Jen, we are drawn into one of her flashbacks—a conversation with an old Renaissance-era woman teaching her the art of tea leaves. This mysterious woman tells Lilia, “You are traveling. How long has it been?” to which Lilia responds, “centuries.”
This adds a fascinating layer to Lilia’s character, explaining her seemingly disoriented behavior in previous episodes. The revelation that she has been perceiving time out of order gives depth to her role in the series, especially as she now feels “close to the end,” a foreshadowing of what may come.
The Trial’s Deadly Conclusion
As the episode progresses, we are pulled back into the trial. Agatha, still causing chaos with the tarot deck, saves Lilia from being impaled by a falling sword. The chaos surrounding the trial reaches its peak when Lilia finally confronts Billy. In a heated exchange, she pins him against the wall, accusing him of hiding his powers. Billy’s genuine confusion softens Lilia, who admits to placing the sigil on him years ago during his bar mitzvah. She knew he needed time, hinting at her deeper understanding of fate and time manipulation.
This heartfelt moment between Lilia and Billy adds emotional weight to the episode, particularly as we learn more about Lilia’s role in shaping events. It ties back to previous flashbacks, where Lilia, seemingly out of the loop, screamed warnings that now make perfect sense.
What’s Next for Agatha All Along?
As the episode concludes, we’re left with more questions than answers. Is Lilia’s perception of time a blessing or a curse? How will Billy’s newfound powers shape the trials ahead? And perhaps most importantly, is Wanda Maximoff really dead?
Agatha’s cryptic response—“Yes. No. Maybe”—leaves the door open for more surprises as we inch closer to the series’ conclusion. With the tarot trial behind them, the stakes are higher than ever, and the lines between friend and foe continue to blur.
