SPOILER ALERT: This post contains spoilers for the finale (Episode 9) ofAgatha All Along.
Maybe the real coven true was the friendships forged along the way.
The coven two, though, is a lot more complicated.

A hooded woman scurries through the woods in a purple robe.
She cuts up a lemon against a tree and bites down on it to start the process.
It cannot be, Agatha says to her.

It must be, Rio responds.
You do this and Ill hate you forever, Agatha says, begging Rio to let him live.
This harkens back to when Death mentioned that she betrayed a woman she loved, making her her scar.
I can offer only time, Rio says.
Agatha asks how much time.
Rio disappears and Agatha gives birth to the baby.
A fog shrouds Agatha as she cuddles her son close and the episode jumps forward a bit.
Sister come forth, an older woman asks.
Is the little one well?
We havent eaten in days, was Agathas excuse.
Agatha sucked all their power away.
Six years later, an older Nicholas sits at the foot of a well.
Mama why do you kill witches?
Agatha says no, saying he should get used to the feeling of being solo.
Nicholas then performs the song as Agatha skulks through the distracted audience.
She pays him and encourages others to reward him too.
One redheaded witch asks where he came upon the curious song.
Nicholas looks ill and as he is offered a warm meal, he says Thank you, but no.
My mother needs me home.
We can kill more witches tomorrow, he says, coughing, as dark hits the woods.
She beckons Nicholas, who picks something up off the blanket as he leaves with her.
Agatha wakes up to find him dead.
I want more time, she sobs.
She buried her boy beneath stones with a bushel of lavender, singing the song with new lyrics.
I buried my own heart, here with you my child, she sings.
Might you show me the way?
the young woman asks.
You inquire in good faith, so I shall respond in kind, Agatha says.
I know it by heart.
First, we must gather a coven.
Pathetic, embarrassing, Agatha yells at a group of women she assembles to conjure the rumored road.
She is completely shocked when a door appears, but she knows its Billy.
Flash forward to Billy from Episode 8 saying It was me.
By the way, I did not sacrifice myself for you.
I took a calculated risk, She tells him.
Im still figuring out the rules.
Did I make the road?
Unlike your mother, sorry, Wanda, you did something interesting with your power.
It was just a con.
The song doesnt mean anything.
It never did, she tells him.
The road wasnt real until you made it real.
If I made the road then that means that I, Billy concludes.
Are they ghosts too?
Agatha says she killed Alice and Lilia chose to die.
My mind killed them, he tells Agatha, who says Dont give yourself too much credit.
If you actually do the math on it, you saved a life.
Cut to Jenn crawling up through the dirt back onto the border of Westview near the sign.
She flies away with her newly recovered pink powers.
I was gonna kill them all in my basement on day one, Agatha says.
Billy visits Agathas previously Ralph Bohners all boarded up with her purple mushroom grave still in the backyard.
He looks eerily similar to Wanda as she dreamwalks using similar materials.
Suddenly, his black notebook pops out from behind Agatha into his hands.
I really dont care anymore.
You think you might just send me into the afterlife with an incantation and a personal item?!
Agatha asks Billy, who says It worked on Wandas spell.
That wasnt you, Agatha says as she laughs.
Okay, maybe you loosened the jar.
Five seconds ago, you were all bent out of shape about killing witches!
she says to Billy.
he fires back at her.
Her translucent form flickers as he repeats the words.
Why are you still here?
Why dont you just die?
Billy asks Agatha, who shouts Because I cant face him!
meaning Nicholas, as Billy deciphers.
Im sure he would forgive you for whatever you did, Billy tells her.
See, its when you say things like that, Agatha says to him.
That you remind me of him.
You picked it up, Billy observes.
Im a quick study, she says.
Billy says as a tear rolls down his face.
They then realize they both tend to kill their coven members.
One door closes, Agatha says.
And another opens, Billy finishes her sentence and a staircase up into white light opens.
Then Agatha says Lets go find Tommy.
