Agatha’s Fate in WandaVision: Beyond the Hex
Agatha’s Fate in WandaVision: Beyond the Hex
In the chaotic aftermath of Wanda's decision to remove the Hex, Agatha Harkness's fate has intrigued fans. Was she left behind in the real town of Westview with no memories of her past life, or has she been trapped within Wanda's mind?
The Hex and Agatha's Transformation
It was observed that Wanda specifically put a spell on Agatha to turn her into Agnes. When the Hex was lifted, only Agatha/Agnes remained unchanged. This raises the question of where Agatha would reside, knowing that Ralph, the owner of the house, might not desire her presence.
The spell to transform Agatha into Agnes was separate from the Hex, hence it persisted even after the Hex was removed. According to Agatha's mention, she could not modify Wanda’s spell to create the Hex, despite making a deal with Wanda for her powers. This rule was presumably in place to ensure that Wanda had to sacrifice her family to restore the inhabitants of Westview to their original selves—she could end the Hex but not edit it to keep some parts while altering others. However, the spell on Agatha was a separate one and not tied to the Hex's continued existence.
Agatha’s Fate After the Hex
The spell on Agatha had nothing to do with the Hex. It’s possible that she was temporarily arrested by SWORD and might have returned to living with Ralph, or SWORD may have deemed her too dangerous and sent her to the Raft.
Agatha was not trapped within the Hex as Agnes. She faked it, and Wanda specifically used her powers to transform Agatha into the nosy neighbor, Agnes.
Agatha’s Transformation
The final scene of Agatha before she was trapped in Westview showed someone stuck in the 1950s, not the character that evolved throughout the Wandavision show. This means Agatha was not just trapped in a Hex residual effect. The Hex was removed, but Wanda cast an individual spell on Agatha, trapping her in Westview.
Therefore, to summarize, while the Hex was gone, Wanda cast a spell on Agatha Harkness, trapping her in Westview.
