I’m thinking maybe Agatha didn’t know what the trade for the book would be. She might’ve been done dirty and made a deal with the devil without knowing she’d have her son taken in return

Rumpelstiltskin kinda

Well they did reference another one of Grimm’s tales

The way she protects Teen instinctively, when the car hit him and when he was about to drink the poison, makes me think she didn't wanna lose her kid.

I could see her taking a deal that involved sacrificing "a kid" and thinking she could sacrifice someone else's child, only to have her own son taken from her.

She seems more than willing to either do awful things to other people or just let awful things happen to other people in order to advance her personal goals.

I kinda wish they show her to be genuinely evil enough to trade her son for the darkhold

u/Joyma Sep 26 '24

Yeah I’d be happy either way. Not knowing what she was trading would be a little cliche, but so would her getting a heart at the end and regretting it all. Would be a good parallel between Wanda doing anything for her kids and Agatha giving away a kid for the dark hold

A “I will give anything except my son” type thing than mephisto takes the body not the soul or some shit maybe

u/hawkins338 Sep 27 '24

Yeah I def think there’s more to that story. My first thought was maybe he was sick and dying anyways and she figured she could trade him and then get the book and find a way to resurrect him or something? But it’s prob more likely that it was an unintentional swap like you mentioned.

Oooo I like that though. Feels less predictable

This is my thought exactly. It seems like theres more to the story and we might end up getting a redemption story after all (whether Agatha likes it or not).
