SPOILER ALERT! Episode 5 of Agatha All Along, titled “Darkest Hour, Wake Thy Power,” brings a whirlwind of supernatural twists as Agatha Harkness and her coven face the ultimate test on the Witches Road. After escaping Alice’s curse with the help of Lorna Wu’s protective spell in the previous episode, the coven must now navigate an even more dangerous trial — the Salem Seven are hot on their trail.

The episode opens with eerie tension as the Salem Seven, described as a “feral, hive-minded coven bent on revenge,” pursue Agatha and her companions. The coven’s only option for escape is to use enchanted brooms to fly off the Road, but the Witches Road brings them back down, forcing them into a cabin where they face their next supernatural test.

This trial centers on Agatha herself. The blood moon outside signals that the veil between the living and dead is at its thinnest, making it an ideal time for Agatha to commune with spirits — especially since she’s put so many to rest. The coven begins using a ouija board to communicate with the dead, and the spirit they contact is none other than Agatha’s mother, Evanora Harkness.

Possessing Agatha’s body, Evanora reveals her deep resentment, stating Agatha was “born evil” and should have been killed at birth. The coven is torn, with some believing Agatha must be punished for her dark past. In a chilling turn of events, Agatha's feral transformation shocks everyone, as her own son, Nicholas Scratch, speaks through the ouija board, pleading for her to stop.

The episode takes a dramatic turn when Agatha siphons Alice’s powers, resulting in Alice's tragic demise. This event leaves even Teen, who previously defended Agatha, questioning her true intentions. In the final moments, Agatha realizes she has regained her magic, but her betrayal leads to a shocking power struggle, as Teen reveals his true identity, possibly connected to the Scarlet Witch lineage.

With magic, betrayal, and intense drama, Episode 5 sets the stage for even more surprises to come in Agatha All Along as Agatha’s coven begins to unravel, and her son’s true power is revealed. Fans are left wondering what’s next for the conflicted witch, and how the revelation of Teen’s identity will impact the future of the series.
