In Agatha All Along, the secret surrounding Nicolas Scratch adds a layer of darkness that fans might not expect.
While viewers are excited to learn about Joe Locke’s character “Teen,” Agatha Harkness has even darker secrets, especially about her son, Nicolas Scratch.
The Mystery of Nicolas Scratch
Despite fan hopes that Nicolas Scratch would finally appear in a meaningful way in this series, his presence remains largely shadowed.
While many anticipated his character’s return after WandaVision, he is only referenced through Agatha’s pet rabbit, Señor Scratchy.
In the two-episode premiere, Agatha’s feelings about her son are very obvious and emotional.
As “Agnes,” Agatha is stuck in a complicated crime drama. A moment happens when she sees an empty child’s room that belonged to Nicolas.
She hesitates and cries, showing her deep guilt about what happened to her son.
The room is full of his untouched things, like an award for “Best Vocals,” suggesting he had a bright future that was tragically cut short.
Agatha’s Past
The series prompts viewers to question whether Nicolas Scratch’s story is merely a figment of Agatha’s imagination or rooted in tragic reality.
Given the importance of music in witchcraft, it’s possible that Agatha not only nurtured her son’s talent but also taught him the dark arts until something went wrong.
Agatha’s reaction to a comment about child sacrifice makes the mystery even more interesting.
When Jennifer Kale jokingly suggests that “Teen” might be another victim, Agatha’s lack of a witty comeback suggests that her past may involve sacrifices perhaps even that of her own son.
Darkhold and the Price of Power
In a recent teaser, a haunting image of the Darkhold replacing a baby in a crib raises many doubts and questions.
Could this symbolize what Agatha lost? The locket she finds near a mysterious body, likely Wanda Maximoff’s, contains a lock of hair, possibly a keepsake of Nicolas.
This item could serve as a reminder of her past transgressions or even a tool for future plans.
