After ending on a dramatic cliffhanger in last week’s episode, Agatha All Along went back in time to reveal the origins of William Kaplan A.K.A. Billy Maximoff A.K.A. Teen. Just as Monica Rambeau’s backstory arrived in the middle of WandaVision, Billy’s survival of the Hex is (kind of) explained. The miniseries’ sixth episode revisits a character from the previous series and shows audiences the other side of Agatha’s, er Detective Agnes O’Connor’s, scenes from the premiere. One could call “Familiar by Thy Side” a “filler” episode, but only because it fills in the blanks and narrative gaps.While the sixth episode ends the second act of the nine-episode Agatha All Along, it may not be entirely satisfying to fans. The previous episode, “Darkest Hour/Wake Thy Power,” ended with Teen revealing his magic, mind-controlling Lilia Calderu and Jennifer Kale. He seemingly kills them and Agatha by submerging them in mud. Agatha, of course, survives this and confronts the Familiar Formerly Known as “Teen.” While it does technically resolve the cliffhanger, the epsiode does highlight the problem with the “cards down” approach to storytelling that afflicts both Marvel Studios’ and Star Wars’ series on Disney+. Instead of ramping up the story into its end-run, Agatha All Along’s latest episode slowed things down, possibly too much.As the Hex collapses, the Kaplan family races home in their car, getting into an accident. William dies, but somehow his body becomes a “vessel” for the soul of Billy. Wanda and Vision tucked them into bed before the Hex fell, but she was touching Billy when said that “a family is forever.” Agatha All Along’s magic isn’t an exact science, so it sort of makes sense that Billy’s soul was able to find William’s body rather than simply vanish. Similarly, Tommy’s soul is somewhere in the world. Billy can “feel” him, but can’t see him.
