AGATHA ALL ALONG: DARKEST HOUR WAKE THY POWER

AGATHA ALL ALONG: DARKEST HOUR WAKE THY POWER

Agatha’s Trial, her worst nightmare, was to be a teenager again seeking her mother’s validation.

“Mom…why do you hate me still?”

“You were born evil. I ought to have killed you the moment you left my body”

Agatha, reduced and undermined as she was in her adolescence (hammered home by the fact she is literally dressed to evoke that), fight back tears as she realizes that her mother only remained as a ghost to punish Agatha. To try and ensure Agatha remained alone by telling the coven to complete the trials without her. Even though Agatha is a centuries old witch, standing there in her purple jersey, ratty hair, and tears in lost eyes, she’s a child again. Rio, having been with her for so long, shakes her head knowing how this could only go. How many times has she watched Agatha crawl for affection she will never get?

“Don’t leave me with her! I can be good! Please!”

If Agatha was truly born evil, it was only because her body formed in the womb of Evanora. Then:

“Mama! Stop!”

Agatha’s other greatest fear. Nicholas watching this all happen. Was she a better mother to him than Evanora was to her? Did stealing Alice’s powers just confirm that she was evil, as Evanora said, all along?

*Rio kicks in a door*

Agatha: “I can take her”

Teen: “in a fight right? RIGHT?”

*Rio crawls out of the ground like a zombie*

Agatha: "don't worry I can take her"

Jen/Alice/Lilia: "in a fight right?"

Teen: "it is most definitely not in a fight..."

A minute ago you were ready to slit her throat. Yeah, well, her mother can't have her.
