The Surprising Ending ofAgatha All Along: What Really Happened to Nicholas Scratch?
In the finale of Agatha All Along , Marvel fans got answers to lingering questions that left us on the edge of our seats. After a season full of dark magic, intriguing relationships, and twists, Episode 9 wraps up many mysteries around Agatha Harkness, her son Nicholas Scratch, and the cryptic Witches’ Road. Through these final revelations, the series blends tragedy and suspense in a way only Marvel can pull off. Here’s a recap of how the season concluded and what this means for the characters we’ve come to follow so closely.
In a striking flashback to the 1700s, Agatha, pregnant and desperate, meets her old friend and rival, Rio. Rio, who we now know as Death, offers Agatha a deal — one that will grant her more time with her unborn child, but at a tragic cost. Agatha knows the risks yet chooses to go through with it, naming her son Nicholas Scratch, a nod to the dangerous, magical path he’s destined to follow. From a young age, Nicholas witnesses his mother’s ruthlessness, as she consumes other witches’ power to survive. His innocent curiosity, though, pushes him to question if he and his mother could live harmoniously with other witches instead of taking their powers. This desire for peace creates a tension that grows throughout his life.

As Nicholas grows, he becomes a talented but troubled character. He sings the “Ballad of the Witches’ Road,” unaware it foreshadows his fate. His journey and the recurring melody haunt him as he realizes that Rio will eventually come to claim him. In a tearful, inevitable moment, Agatha loses her son. In grief, she buries him and, in her sorrow, begins to build a reputation as one of the MCU’s most formidable witches. As the centuries pass, Agatha grows more powerful, but her losses leave a permanent mark on her life and psyche.
The story then jumps forward to present-day Billy, a young witch grappling with his chaotic powers. Billy realizes that his connection to the Witches’ Road is stronger than he imagined, and he can manipulate it in ways no one expected. He is haunted by the same path that took Nicholas from Agatha and struggles to come to terms with the dark choices that may lie ahead. Agatha’s ghost appears to him, and through their tense, sometimes hostile interactions, Billy begins to understand Agatha’s motives and the heavy sacrifices she’s made. It’s revealed that Agatha didn’t simply lose her son; she still holds a powerful connection to him and can’t fully move on until she faces the impact of her choices.
As Billy confronts Agatha in her ethereal form, he ultimately finds himself channeling Wanda’s methods, attempting to banish Agatha using an incantation. But Agatha, never one to back down easily, retaliates, revealing she can’t let go of her ties to Nicholas, who haunts her still. It’s a moment that portrays her as both a powerful witch and a deeply flawed, grieving mother. Billy sees this vulnerability and suggests they could make a good team, possibly hinting at a complex alliance.
The finale brings the Witches’ Road full circle, ending with Agatha and Billy recognizing their shared loneliness as they stare down a new, ominous path. Their story may feel complete for now, but the door is left wide open for future Marvel projects. We may not have seen the last of Agatha Harkness, and Billy Maximoff might have more powers to explore and choices to confront. For Marvel fans, this finale raises both hope and anticipation for the rich tales still to come in the mystical, spellbinding world of Agatha All Along .
