The Hallucination

When the witches indulge in a glass of poisoned wine, the effects take hold, and hallucinations begin to plague their minds.

Agatha, played by Kathryn Hahn, pretends to drink the poison but cleverly delays its effects to witness her fellow witches’ terrifying visions.

Soon, the poison, known as Alewife’s Revenge, starts to swell their faces and induce dizziness and hallucinations, pushing them to find an antidote before time runs out.

Agatha’s hallucination is particularly poignant. She first hears a baby crying, leading her to a cradle. With a heavy heart, she approaches, only to find the Darkhold lying where a baby should be.

This shocking vision is deeply connected to Agatha’s past, evoking memories of her own child, whom she is believed to have sacrificed in pursuit of the Darkhold’s power.

This moment starkly highlights Agatha’s guilt and regret, showing that her ambition has come at a painful cost.
