Agatha All Along Episode 6: A Game-Changer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The sixth episode of Agatha All Along, titled “Familiar By Thy Side”, reveals major details about Billy Maximoff’s origins and ties to WandaVision. This episode offers a deeper look into Billy’s backstory, focusing on William Kaplan’s Bar Mitzvah, where he meets a mysterious palm reader named Lilia Calderu. She notices something strange about his lifeline—it’s broken in two. This encounter sets the stage for William’s transformation into Billy Maximoff.
Billy’s Backstory Unveiled
We discover that William Kaplan dies in a car crash, but his body becomes a vessel for Billy Maximoff’s soul, which is reincarnated after Wanda’s magical Hex dissolves. This twist explains why Billy has no memory of his past life as William or the events of WandaVision. The soul transfer and crash caused a reset, making Billy and William two distinct individuals sharing the same body.
Billy’s Search for Tommy
The episode also reveals Billy’s main motivation: finding his twin brother, Tommy Maximoff. Tommy’s whereabouts remain a mystery, but there are hints from the comics. In the Marvel Comics universe, Tommy is reborn as Tommy Shepherd, a troubled young man with super-speed powers. This could provide clues about where Tommy is in the MCU.
Lilia’s Secret
Lilia Calderu, the palm reader, plays a critical role by casting a spell on William, preventing him from revealing his true identity or past to anyone involved in witchcraft. She likely did this because she sensed his connection to Wanda Maximoff, aiming to protect Billy from those who might exploit him.
What’s Next?
The episode leaves several questions unanswered, such as the fate of Jen and Lilia, who seem to survive mysterious circumstances. With only a few episodes left, Agatha All Along is set to dive even deeper into the secrets of The Witches’ Road and explore more of Billy’s journey.
