Agatha Harkness is finally returning to the MCU in her own spin-off series, ‘Agatha All Along’, with the show set to delve into Agatha’s past, revealing intriguing clues about her life and the secrets she holds.
Moreover, one such mystery surrounds a locket she possesses, containing a chunk of hair from an unidentified person. However, this mystery is just one of the many intriguing elements in ‘Agatha All Along’.
‘Agatha All Along’ Explores Agatha’s Haunting Past
‘Agatha All Along’ started three years after the events of ‘WandaVision’, where Agatha was defeated by the Scarlet Witch and imprisoned in Westview. The show explores Agatha’s life during this time, revealing her struggles and the secrets she’s been hiding.

One of the most intriguing mysteries presented in the series is the locket Agatha carries. The locket is said to date back to the 1700s and contains a piece of hair from an unspecified person. Moreover, while seemingly insignificant, the object holds the key to unlocking a piece of her past. But whose hair is it?
The Hair In The Locket Could Be Her Son’s
The show has hinted that the hair in the locket may belong to Agatha’s son, Nicholas Scratch. In a scene, Agatha returns home to find her son’s room empty, suggesting his possible demise. Moreover, this tragic event could explain the significance of the locket and the emotions it evokes for Agatha.

While the show has not explicitly confirmed that the hair belongs to Nicholas, the evidence points towards this possibility. Additionally, the dark tone surrounding Nicholas’s disappearance strongly suggests a connection between the two.
Scratch grew up in the secluded town of New Salem, Colorado, where his mother served as the leader. However, Agatha’s decision to leave New Salem and pursue a life outside the magic community led to a rift between her and her son. Nicholas eventually became the leader of New Salem, harboring resentment towards his mother for abandoning him.
This resentment fueled his actions, leading him to turn the town against Agatha and nearly have her executed.
Scratch’s villainous activities continued after his banishment. At one point it almost resulted in Agatha’s execution. So, it’s safe to say that the mention of Nicholas Scratch in ‘Agatha All Along’ adds an intriguing layer to the series, hinting at a potential connection between the show and the wider MCU.
The Possibilities Are Endless For The Locket Mystery
While Nicholas Scratch is the leading candidate for the hair in Agatha’s locket, other possibilities cannot be ruled out. The locket could hold a deeper significance.
Rio Vidal, played by Aubrey Plaza, is a prominent character in ‘Agatha All Along’. Her bitter rivalry with Agatha stems from a shared past, filled with betrayal and resentment. Rio’s relentless pursuit of revenge suggests a deep-seated grudge against Agatha, potentially tied to the locket.

Previously on the show, Agatha revealed that Rio was unable to kill her, implying a possible connection to the locket. So the hair could be protecting her from Rio through some sort of magic. Moreover, given Agatha’s long and eventful life, she has likely made enemies over the centuries. Other characters who hold a grudge against her could also be potential candidates for the hair in the locket.
