What Happened to Agatha After Wanda Destroyed the Illusion in Westview?

In the complex storyline of The Wakeful, the transformation of Agatha Harkness into Agnes was not due to a hex, but rather a separate spell. When Wanda Maximoff, with her mind warping powers, freed the town from its illusion, Agnes continued to exist. This blog post delves into the intricacies of Agatha's transformation and her subsequent fate post-Westview.

The Spell Transformation of Agatha

When Agatha Harkness was turned into Agnes, it wasn't through the use of a hex, but through a distinct spell that was separate from the larger hex that Wanda had cast over Westview. This separate spell was most likely something Wanda had specifically cast on Agatha, changing her identity and persona. As such, when the hex on Westview was lifted, Agatha, now known as Agnes, continued to exist in her transformed form, albeit in a different guise.

Wanda's Transformation

Wanda, in her quest to restore the town to its pre-hexed state, absorbed Agatha's powers. Consequently, Agatha no longer possesses her witchcraft abilities. To further complicate matters, Wanda used her powers again, transforming Agatha into the nosy neighbor Agnes. This suggests that Wanda may have chosen to use one of the houses in town to allow Agatha to live a normal life under a new identity.

The Fate of Agatha/Agnes

After the hex was fully removed, Agatha's identity as Agnes persisted through a separate spell. The spell wasn't tied to the continued existence of the hex but was a distinct magic that Wanda had cast on Agatha. This spell ensured that Agatha would remain in Westview in her new identity, Agnes.

One might wonder about Agatha's living situation in Westview. Since Ralph owned the house, Agatha may have faced a crucial decision. She could either return to living with Ralph, who might have mixed feelings about her return, or she could have been taken into custody by SWORD, the security organization tasked with handling mystical and supernatural threats. Given her reputation and the power that Wanda had transferred to her, it's highly plausible that SWORD deemed her too dangerous to be loose in Westview, potentially sending her to the Raft.

Agatha's Persona and Transformation

Interestingly, the last scene of Agatha before she was trapped in Westview showed a persona of someone stuck in the 1950s, unlike the characters that evolved throughout the Wandavision show. This suggests that the spell on Agatha transformed not just her physical appearance but also her demeanor and attitude, aligning with the stereotypical versions of witches from the 50s.

In conclusion, while the hex that Wanda cast over Westview was lifted, Agatha Harkness, through the separate spell that Wanda had specifically cast on her, remained trapped in her new identity in the town. This spell ensured that Agatha would continue to reside in Westview as Agnes, a nosy neighbor, and was not mere imprisonment within the hex's remnants.

I hope this clarifies any confusion and answers your questions, disagreements, and points of contention!
