Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Agatha All Along episodes 8 & 9Agatha All Alongepisodes 8 & 9 are full of Marvel Easter eggs, references, and more exciting nods to the greater MCU. The end of the Witches' Road has come with some very exciting twists. As such, there are plenty of exciting connections to the original Marvel Comics during this brand-new double-episode MCU finale.
With Lilia Calderu’s sacrifice at the end ofAgatha All Alongepisode 7, these new episodes begin with only Billy (Joe Locke), Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), and Jennifer Hale (Sasheer Zamata) as the only members of the coven left on the Witches' Road.To that end, here are the biggest Easter eggs and reveals inAgatha All Alongepisodes 8 & 9.
20Rio Debuts Full Lady Death Look From The Comics
Hood, Crown, Skull
Having been shown resemblingLilia’s tarot cards inAgatha All Alongepisode 7,Aubrey Plaza’s Rio makes her full debut as Lady Death as she appears in the original Marvel Comics. This includes a dark black cloak and hood, though only the bottom half of her face is a skull compared to Death as she’s depicted on the page (which is simply a full human skull).
19"The Sacred Balance"
A Subtle Comics Nod To Thanos?
When speaking with Agatha,Rio confirms that Billy taking William Kaplan’s body is an abomination to the “sacred balance”. While no direct connection is made,it’s worth noting that Thanos himself was romantically involved with Lady Death, whose mission in the MCU was achieving a cosmic balance across the universe by ending half of all life (as seen inAvengers: Infinity WarandEndgame).
18Agatha Revealed As The One Who Bound Jennifer
100 Years
Agatha All Alongepisode 3 revealed that a doctor in Boston placed a binding spell on Jennifer 100 years earlier.However, this was news to Agatha in episode 8, who confirms that she was the one who sold the doctor the binding spell, allowing Jennifer to finally break the bond in this episode and regain her power.

No Longer Just A Halloween Costume
Leaving the Witches' Road, Agatha faces Lady Death directly atthe end ofAgatha All Alongepisode 8.However, she’s also aided by the arrival of Billy, who’s dressed in his full red-and-blue Wiccan costume from the comics.

From WandaVision’s Finale
