In the latest episode of Agatha All Along, titled Episode 7: Lilia and the Tarot-ble, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, viewers are taken on a spellbinding journey as the series dives deeper into Lilia’s (played by Patti LuPone) complex character arc. Directed by creator Jac Schaeffer, this episode delivers an emotional rollercoaster filled with tarot trials, existential revelations, and a climactic sacrifice that marks a turning point in the show.
The episode begins with a disoriented Lilia, waking up dressed as Glinda the Good Witch, and spiraling into a dark void. As the narrative unfolds, viewers are thrown into the disarray of Lilia’s mind, where time is an illusion, and her life is experienced out of order. This non-linear approach, reminiscent of Oscar-winning sequences from Everything Everywhere All at Once, effectively immerses us into the psychic chaos of a character struggling to regain control of her powers.
One of the episode’s standout moments is Lilia’s tarot trial, where she and Billy (Joe Locke) must face a collapsing ceiling of swords. Their failed attempts at tarot readings provide both tension and comedic relief, but it’s Lilia’s eventual realization that she must read her own fate that turns the tide. Her tarot spread reveals that she is the Queen of Cups, with death looming as her inevitable destination. Despite the looming danger, Lilia’s ability to see herself clearly in the cards ultimately saves Billy and Agatha from the Salem Seven.
The emotional crux of the episode is Lilia’s heartbreaking admission that she has been hiding from her power, afraid of the death and loss it has brought her. Her final act of sacrifice—turning the tarot’s Tower card upright, leading to her own death—cements her as a tragic hero in the series.
The episode also teases major developments for future installments, particularly with the revelation that Rio (Aubrey Plaza) is the embodiment of Death itself. With only two episodes left in the season, fans are left eagerly anticipating how these new revelations will shape the conclusion of Agatha All Along.
Overall, Episode 7 is a masterclass in storytelling, weaving together character development, humor, and emotional weight with stunning visuals and stellar performances, particularly from LuPone. As the final episodes approach, viewers can expect more surprises, deeper character exploration, and a possible game-changing finale.
Fans of the show are already buzzing about the episode’s impactful moments and what lies ahead for Agatha, Billy, and the rest of the witches. With the stakes higher than ever, the finale promises to be nothing short of magical.
