Well, Jess, given that we have a full reaction, it already means that my prediction of your camera making a crater in your wall because of you throwing it in rage over the ending of this episode ends up being false. More on that momentarily. By the way, it looks like you have a new candle set up. Looks like a pumpkin candle, and I hope it’s a nice one. Seeing how you and I are vibing with this show proves how we ARE witchy enough, Jess.I LIVE for the group dynamic of the coven, and I want all of them to be my best friends. Of the group, I’m still most invested in Patti, fucking Queen that she is, as Lilia. The tones are brewed in the cauldron to a perfect mix. You are correct on that. Poor Sharon. If I were Sharon, I’d have tried to call Red, who likely would have burst in the scene, bluntly yelling, “Witches, leave!” Figured you’d have a laugh over the purse comment, I made a comment about that myself, saying that I hoped it wasn’t designer. You say Big Little Lies, which I’ve not seen. I got more of a Desperate Housewives vibe from this myself, though I’ve not seen much of that either. I figured out the riddle before the coven did. Took a sec, but I said, “...Wait, wine?” See, I’d be safe from the poison as I’m not much of a wine drinker. I think my Asperger’s makes my palate far too sharp. I’d be doubly safe, and I would subsequently just try and run if the wine was Merlot, yelling, “No, any of you ladies pour that Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT DRINKING ANY FUCKING MERLOT!!!” Sharon defends her knocking back the wine in one go, by saying that she’s had a rough day, and that the ladies shouldn’t judge. I work retail, hence no judgments from me, nor you, Jess. There was great delight how you called it that Sharon can put down some wine, and your reaction upon Sharon proving you right was fantastic. The wine refill reminds you of the scene with Dr. Strange and Thor, I had flashbacks to the one big scene with Tim Curry and Mia Sara myself. Loved all the ladies, and Tobias (Again, that is simply what I’m calling him,) do the damn thing with the potion brewing. The Shenanigans by Mike Flanagan are emerging whilst going through the teamwork. Knowing how you love those shows, I got exactly what you meant on exploring the traumas, here it felt like Hill House and/or House of Usher. The vision Alice had of the generational curse sounds particularly intriguing. Jen came through with the pep-talk from Agatha. Kathryn was striking with her vision. Seems like everyone’s giving Agatha shit over the damn book of the damned. So far I’m not, particularly as her work with the book of the damned didn’t get Charlie killed, so I’m willing to hear her out. I got in on the color confusion about the cerulean, surmising, “Blue green, isn’t it?” They succeed and run. I beat Lilia by one second as I said, “Wait, they have to leave via the oven? ...Well, THAT’S just TERRIBLY offensive!!” And it sounds awful what happened to Lilia’s friend who died in an oven. And in her lovely house, I surmise made of gingerbread, love that you got a laugh at that joke as well. I anticipated your reaction to Sharon at the end. That exceeded all expectations, that scream that you had. I did have a shared laugh at Agatha having that last line, and then felt incredibly guilty. Bringing us to the speculation portion. Start with: They mention Mephisto, and I went, “Wait a tick...” had severe WandaVision flashbacks of certain theorists who sounded much like the people that were insistent that the Manchurian Candidate X2 clone was Tech, and I then said, “I’m not going through THAT shit again!” Now if Mephisto does show up, great. I’m just not buying it at this time. You mention if that was put in just to fuck with us, I’ll laugh myself silly if that is the case, I’ll tell you that much. Again, you have the similar approach to my brother and I’s usual approach how we don’t actively try to ascertain the mystery or theorize, yet occasionally information does piece together, and you do have an idea or two. One idea with Tobias is how aware of things is he, which you and I are curious about that. You say you second guess about him being Agatha’s son. It does seem too on the nose, though you never know. We shall see. As to Sharon, it sounds like the theory that she is more than what she seems has been advanced by some. My thought is that if so, does she know about it? You mentioned about not seeing the WandaVision... vision. I would assume that being unable to get everyone involved in that likely played a part as to why we did not see that. Your idea does sound plausible though. Debra got me bad in her acting there, and I note that my heart is not COMPLETELY dead, as it broke a little bit seeing Debra kill that scene. Based on what I’m hearing, Sharon is dead. I, too, am holding out a little hope as love for Debra as Sharon is STRONG. That and we are talking about Marvel after all, Uncle Ben is probably the only character that ever stays permanently dead. Thus concludes the speculation portion. And to be clear, Jess, I have no problem if you Shar-on. You apologized for that, and whilst no apology was necessary, I do concede that said pun was devoid of Hart. Ba-dum chi! Thank you, thank you. I’m here till Thursday. Try the veal! All in all, a delightful episode of Agatha All Along, (Or is it Sharon Steals the Show?) which you have now so wonderfully reacted to, Jess. Thank you, and already, this show is proving REALLY goddamn fun sharing it with you. Thank you for the fun thus far.

I have to start by tooting my own horn and saying I solved the wine riddle after just one line. This show is certainly a nice palette cleanser after each horribly depressing episode in the life of Aaron Hernandez. And it's marvelous to see that the trials are taking over from Wanda's spell in giving each episode its own distinct genre. This one doesn't help me much as I haven't seen Big Little Lies, but it's still quite a nice set to hang out in. As is the Road itself, which has been confirmed to be entirely practical with every single piece able to be individually moved to give the illusion of it being much longer. Surprising that they went to the trouble of a poison that turns everyone into Pete Burns and then got rid of that immediately, which I'm guessing was a mid-production decision when they figured all that makeup was way more trouble than it was worth after the initial impact of the joke wore off. Also quite a relief that Teen's faith in Agatha is already wavering rather than him holding on against all evidence for an irritatingly long time. Though on that same note, I seriously hope the show isn't pulling a Stargirl where they actually think we'll be fooled for weeks on end by this obvious red herring of his being Agatha's son. For now everything's pulled off so well that I have the goodwill to assume not. You might not want to do a Hansel and Gretel, but according to certain movies I've seen, water isn't very good for witches either. So a coven in the oven it is. And there's no way I buy they went to the trouble of bringing Debra Jo Rupp back just to have a not-that-big role in just three episodes; this isn't Secret Invasion, no matter how funny it is that Agatha realizes someone named Milton has been with them the whole time. I'm guessing the second trial is resurrecting her. Speaking of, if each trial is an episode that'll leave two left over, so just like Squid Game I'm left wondering, what could the rest be? And if it continues being this good, I can't wait to find out.

Literally the only thing I know about Mephisto is the whole thing with stealing Spider-Man's marriage, which seriously does not help me want to see him show up.

Wasn’t as fast as the first line, but once hearing it, I solved the wine riddle before the characters did, and I beat the closed captioning too. I’m behind on stuff that Ryan Murphy is involved in like that Aaron Hernandez show, or the Menendez brothers show. I also never did see the Dahmer miniseries. Although I do know one VERY specific part of that as people told me all about that, and I already knew the real-life fact years before the show ever premiered. Also have never seen Big Little Lies. I should, even though I’m still a bit sore over its Emmy dominance over both Feud and Fargo. Got vibes of Desperate Housewives, which I’ve seen little of that, whilst thinking that it still has the WandaVision feel of having an undercurrent of Twilight Zone, so it all balances out. I could see that reason as to why the makeup didn’t last. It is refreshing that Tobias isn’t blindly supportive of Agatha and is holding her to task in one or two spots. Him being Agatha’s son feels a little TOO obvious, even for Marvel. And even if they do go down that road, there would be the question of what would be an additional twist. Like Agnes being Agatha was readily guessed, certainly her being a villain was easy to deduce. Then they pull the rug to reveal she’s NOT responsible for the hex, and that’s all Wanda, and the way they reveal that was so well done, that there is faith that the mystery of Tobias is in good hands. And one would hope that they don’t stretch something obvious out like how you talked about hating the twist of Not Negan on The Boys. A coven in the oven™ is certainly preferable to witches’ historic aversion and trouble with water. Yeah, the fact that they got Debra back is one of the chief reasons why I’m cautiously optimistic about Sharon. The other chief reason is that Jess really wants her to survive, and I’m with her on that. Plus, like Kyle MacLachlan on Fallout, she has prominent main billing which bodes well for Sharon. Resurrection being the second trial, I’ll buy that idea. The trials to come, I am looking forward to, and the show in general I am here for the real fun ride.
