The episode begins with a flashback to Wiccan’s early years, now called William, at his Bat Mitzvah. During the event, he meets Lilia, a fortune teller who warns him about a life-changing journey and mentions the “Tower reversed,” hinting at duality in his life. Before William leaves, Lilia secretly drops a cursed stone into his jacket, setting off a series of unfortunate events.
Panic soon grips the town, and William’s family rushes back to Westview, only to crash their car. Knocked out from the crash, William awakens and begins hearing his parents’ thoughts, holding onto a mysterious wooden sigil. Fast-forward three years, and William, now fully immersed in his emo phase, struggles with his identity. He’s torn between two lives and feels as if he’s trapped in the wrong body.
Seeking answers, William stumbles upon Reddit footage from Westview, recognizing magical runes in the red sky—clear evidence of witchcraft. His investigation leads him to Ralph, a traumatized former Westview resident who reveals disturbing details about Agatha’s control over the town. Ralph’s chilling account includes how Agatha used him as her puppet and manipulated Wanda and Vision’s children.
Determined to unravel the truth, William heads back to Westview. He destroys the cursed sigil, confronts Agatha, and embraces his real identity as Billy, Wanda’s son. The episode ends with Billy accepting his fate and setting off on a journey to find his brother, Tommy, with Agatha hot on his trail.
Episode 6 delivers significant revelations, but its pacing feels sluggish, weighed down by redundant exposition. While the deep dive into Billy’s identity and connection to Westview is necessary, the episode spends too much time revisiting familiar territory from previous installments. The dialogue, at times, feels over-explanatory, especially when the plot has already hinted at the same twists.
The emotional weight of Billy’s inner conflict adds depth to the character, but his decision to reveal his true identity to Agatha feels rushed and illogical. Why would he trust her after everything he’s learned? It’s one of the episode’s weaker points, along with the inconsistent logic surrounding the cursed sigil and its significance.
On the bright side, the darker undertones of Agatha’s manipulation and the eerie atmosphere surrounding Westview keep the tension alive. While the plot occasionally falters, there’s enough intrigue to maintain interest. Overall, this episode is a mixed bag but manages to push the story forward with a few compelling moments.
