| In a crime-style television series titled Agnes of Westview, "Agnes O'Connor" is a police detective in Westview fixated on a Jane Doe murder case. One night, a teenager breaks into Agnes' house, looking for "The Road". Agnes believes he is tied to the murder case, and arrests him. The next day, Vidal, a fellow police detective, comes to Agnes and helps her realize the Jane Doe she is seeing is actually Wanda Maximoff's body, and that Agnes is actually the witch Agatha Harkness, who has been trapped for three years under Maximoff's spell. Waking up from the spell, Agatha realizes that her powers are gone, and Rio Vidal is here to kill her. Agatha convinces Vidal to spare her so she can get her powers back, but Vidal warns Agatha that the Salem's Seven will soon come after her. After Vidal leaves, Agatha is unsure what to do about the teenager, whom she actually kidnapped. | ||||

| The teenager reveals he freed Agatha from the spell and is wishing to travel the Witches' Road, where she could restore her power. Agatha also realizes she is unable to hear whenever the teenager speaks his name or gives any personal information. Needing a coven to open a portal to the Road, both convince and reunite the witches Lilia Calderu, Jennifer Kale, and Alice Wu-Gulliver. Agatha also recruits Westview resident Sharon Davis in replacement of Vidal. As the four witches and Davis make the ritual to open the Road's portal, the teenager sees the Salem's Seven arrive to Agatha's house. The coven and the teenager are able to escape through the Road's gates. | ||||
| 3 | "Through Many Miles / Of Tricks and Trials" | Rachel Goldberg | Cameron Squires | September 25, 2024 |
| Agatha informs the coven that to reach the end of the Road, they will face Trials that focus on the different studies of Witchcraft. While on the way to the first trial, the coven learns of Teen's sigil, preventing witches from learning his name. At the first trial, the coven finds a house with a bottle of wine, which all of them drink (except Teen). A timer starts counting down, and Jennifer realizes the wine contained poison. Sharon, who drank first, faints. As they gather ingredients to create an antidote, each of them hallucinates: Lilia sees a young girl, Jennifer hallucinates a priest forcing her underwater, Alice sees her mother drinking a bottle of poison, and Agatha sees a crib containing a burnt Darkhold. As they prepare the antidote, they notice the house is now underwater. With a few seconds left on the timer, they finish the antidote and drink it, as well feed some to Sharon. As water pours into the house, they escape via a tunnel in the oven, leading them back to the road. As they get up, Teen sees that Sharon is dead. | ||||
| 4 | "If I Can't Reach You / Let My Song Teach You" | Rachel Goldberg | Giovanna Sarquis | October 2, 2024 |
| After burying Sharon, the coven is forced to summon a replacement Green Witch, who turns out to be Rio, much to Agatha's annoyance. The coven encounter a house with a 1970s aesthetic that gives Alice grief. Upon entering, they find that it is a recording studio tied to Alice's mother, Lorna Wu. Just as Rio playfully suggests to Agatha that they betray the others, which is overheard by everyone, the Teen accidentally plays a record backwards, that summons a demon that is part of a curse in Alice's family. In order to fight back, the group plays Lorna's version of the Ballad and Alice is able to successfully kill the demon. Teen is revealed to be severely wounded, and the coven escape the house and tend to him, saving his life. Lilia, Alice, and Jen bond with each other while Rio implies the history between herself and Agatha. Agatha checks on the Teen who asks what happened to her son, but she ignores the question. Later, Rio tells Agatha that the Teen is not her son. | ||||
| 5 | "Darkest Hour / Wake Thy Power" | Rachel Goldberg | Laura Monti | October 9, 2024 |
| The coven find themselves being chased by the Salem Seven and rip out some tree branches to fly away. The Witches' Road pulls them to the ground and they enter the next trial which takes the form of a cabin with a 1980s aesthetic. The group must interact with an Ouija board and make contact with a spirit who reveals herself to be Evanora Harkness, Agatha's mother who was killed by her daughter in 1693 along with her previous coven. Warning the current coven against Agatha, Evanora possesses her and starts attacking the group. Alice uses her powers to expel Agatha, who proceeds to absorb her magic. The Teen, noticing another spirit's presence, tries to stop Agatha by shouting the spirit's name: Nicholas Scratch, Agatha's son. Agatha stops, but Alice dies. Agatha insists that it was accidental, while the Teen, having lost faith in her, lashes out. Both Lilia and Jen affirm, however, that their goal is the same as Agatha's, prompting the Teen to shun the coven for their disregard of life in search of power. Agatha mocks the Teen by stating that he is just like his mother, thus revealing Teen's true identity: Billy Kaplan, the reincarnated physical form of Billy Maximoff, Wanda and Vision's son. Angry, Billy magically controls Lilia and Jen's minds to make them toss Agatha into a mud trap before blasting them in as well. As the three witches submerge underground, a magical headwear appears on Billy's head. | ||||
