‘Agatha All Along’ Episode 2 Recap: Down The Witches Road

SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the second episode of Marvel‘s Agatha All Along.

Read on for a full recap of Agatha All Along Episode 2.

Now that Agatha has her wits about her again, she’s looking to make up for lost time when it comes to getting her powers back. 

As she’s heading out the door, she tells Teen to say hello to the “vengeance seekers” for her, when he finally maneuvers the tape off his mouth and begs her to take him to the Witches Road. She’s clearly shaken up by the ask, insisting that the Road doesn’t exist, but he’s not taking no for an answer.

When she realizes he’s not going to give up, she asks him what he’s after. Power. He’s tired of studying small tricks. He wants to really be able to perform magic, which the road promises to provide. Luckily for him, Agatha is in search of the same exact thing. 

She tries to shrug him off one more time, but he pleads with her, reminding her that there are other witches coming after her. She asks for his name, but when he tries to answer, his mouth is covered in a sigil, hiding his words. The sigil is shaped like an “M.”

Now, Agatha is intrigued. She agrees to take him to the road. First, they’ll need to find a coven.

First, they try their hand in a psychic reading shop, where they encounter Patti LuPone’s Lilia Calderu. While Agatha doesn’t recognize her and tries to lie about their motives, she recognizes Agatha. It takes a bit of convincing, but Agatha finally manages to get her on board as their divination witch. 

Next they go in search of a potions witch, recruiting Sasheer Zamata’s Jennifer Kale — who has been running a bogus wellness shop rife with legal issues since she was ousted from the witch community — to join their quest.

In a strange turn of events, their next witch, a blood witch, is hiding out in a Hot Topic. They’re after Ali Ahn’s Alice Wu-Gulliver, daughter of the powerful witch Lorna Wu, who is rumored to have been lost on the Witches Road. 

With the witches assembled, Agatha heads home with Teen to prepare before sunset. On the way home, she asks Teen for more details about his life, but as he starts to divulge the details, something stops Agatha from being able to hear what he says. There’s no sigil this time, but it almost sounds muffled as he chats about his past. 

There’s only an hour before sundown, which is when Agatha knows that the Salem Seven will be coming for her, so she’s very anxious as she waits to ensure the other witches will arrive to officially form their coven. But when they arrive, they point out that they don’t have a Green Witch. Agatha tries to brush it off, but the others insist. Earth magic is key to traveling the road.

Agatha runs across the street to quickly recruit her neighbor Mrs. Hart, aka Sharon, (Debra Jo Rupp). 

She finally gathers the group to sing the Witches Road ballad and conjure their path. As they’re singing, the Salem Seven come stalking, and Agatha tries to bait the other witches to zap her with a bit of power to help stave them off (remember, Agatha can steal other witches’ powers if they hit her directly with their magic). 

Naturally, they catch onto her tricks and refuse to play along, making the Witches Road the only way out. The only problem? It doesn’t appear when they’re finished with the song. But, after some bickering, as they’re beginning to doubt the road exists at all, a pair of doors appear below them just in the nick of time, and they’re able to escape the clutches of the Salem Seven. 

Now’s when the real journey begins, as the ragtag group finds themselves at the start of the Witches Road.
