1. First, in the Marvel comics, the Salem Seven, who are made up of Nicholas Scratch’s children, can also shape-shift into various animals, which is seen in the opening minutes of Episode 5. For instance, one of the members is Reptilla, who can turn into a snake.

In the comics, the Salem Seven become enemies with the Scarlet Witch and the Fantastic Four. The members of the group are Reptilla, Brutacus, Gazelle, Hydron, Thornn, Vakume, and Vertigo.
Instead of making the Salem Seven made up of Nicholas Scratch’s children, Agatha All Along has the coven made up of the children from Agatha’s original coven.
2. While trying to escape the Salem Seven, Teen suggests the coven do a “hexenbesen,” which means riding on brooms. The word stems from German, with “hexen” meaning “witches” and besen meaning “broom.”

3. While flying above the road before they crash back down, Rio gives an iconic witch’s laugh, which is most well-known thanks to the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz (1939).

4. When the coven enters the cabin for this week’s trial, they are transformed into people at an ’80s-style sleepover/summer camp. This is the fifth episode of Agatha All Along, and the fifth episode of WandaVision was also ’80s (and ’90s) themed.

5. Inside the cabin, you can spot a phases of the moon stained glass window in the corner. The phases of the moon have been on the doors of the various houses where the trials have taken place in previous episodes.

6. Above the door, you can also spot “Westview” and “Eastview” pennants.
Marvel / Disney+
7. Teen’s costume inside the cabin resembles Billy Kaplan/Wiccan’s costume from the comic books. In WandaVision Episode 6, Billy also wore a similarly styled outfit for Halloween.
Marvel / Disney+
8. In the cabin, while the coven communes with the spirits using the Ouija board, you can see the TV in the background is just static. This is likely a nod to Poltergeist (1982), which famously features a family talking to ghosts in order to save their daughter.

9. You can see that Agatha’s pendant has been turned into a bracelet for this ’80s-themed trial.
Marvel / Disney+
In the episode, Rio’s dagger also turns into a hairbrush with a pointy shank-like end.
10. The Ouija board tells the coven that “death” is with them tonight, and Rio laughs. This adds to the theory that Rio is actually Death.
Marvel / Disney+
11. While the ghostly screaming is happening in the cabin, Lilia remarks that she hated this the first time. This is likely what she was hearing in Episode 2 when she began screaming while Agatha and Teen were visiting her.
Marvel / Disney+
12. Agatha’s possession during the trial is an homage to classic horror movies like The Exorcist (1973).
Marvel / Disney+
13. While pleading with the coven not to leave her alone with her mother, Agatha says that she can be good. In WandaVision Episode 8, Agatha says a similar thing during the flashback to when her mother and coven tried to destroy her.
Marvel / Disney+
14. When Agatha sucks away Alice’s powers, it’s exactly like what we saw Agatha attempt to do to Wanda in the WandaVision series finale.
Marvel / Disney+
In Agatha All Along Episode 2, Agatha also told Lilia she can only take someone’s powers if they blast her with them, and that’s exactly what Alice did.
15. When the Ouija board spells out Nicholas Scratch, and Teen says it out loud, it’s confirmation that he isn’t Agatha’s son because, with the sigil placed upon him, he wouldn’t be able to say his name and have the coven understand it.
Marvel / Disney+
16. Again, adding to the Rio is Death theory, when the rest of the coven leaves the cabin, Rio stays behind with Alice’s dead body.
Marvel / Disney+
17. When Agatha tells Teen he’s just like his mother, you can hear what sounds like a version of the WandaVision end credits score by Christophe Beck.
Marvel / Disney+
18. Alright, HERE WE GO, PEOPLE. When Teen uses his powers, you can see they are blue, which is the same color as Billy Kaplan/Wiccan’s in the comic books. It also matches how Wanda uses her powers, too.
Marvel / Disney+
Previously, we saw Billy in WandaVision use his powers and for them to be blue, too.
19. Then, when Teen uses his powers to control Jen and Lilia, it’s something Wanda is also able to do. In fact, she notably did it in WandaVision Episode 5 when she stepped outside the Hex and confronted Hayward.
Marvel / Disney+
Yes, this is also Episode 5, so I love the parallels.
20. Of course, the crown forming on Teen’s head resembles the crown that formed on Wanda’s head during WandaVision. And it resembles the Scarlet Witch’s famous headpiece from the comic books and MCU.
Marvel / Disney+
21. And finally, while his real name still hasn’t been uttered on Agatha All Along, the use of “You Should See Me in a Crown” by Billie Eilish connecting to Teen’s name being Billy is just another reason this needle drop at the end is genius.
