At the scene, a woman’s dead body has been discovered with blunt force trauma to the head. Near the crime scene, Agatha found a locket, which she kept in her pocket instead of turning it to forensics as evidence.
Later she visits a library to check on a library slip she found with the dead body. There she discovers that this book was stolen 3 years ago. She was told that there were more copies of this book, she goes to check there to find some answers but discovers that all the copies have been burnt already. She goes back to the police station where she’s told that the soil samples in the nails of the dead body don’t match with the place, but actually match to places found in Eastern Eupore, much far from the scene.

While running, he got hit by a car driven by Agatha’s neighbour Mrs. Hart, played by Debra Jo Rupp. Agatha catches the burglar and it is revealed that it was Joe Locke playing as a teen.
She starts to interrogate him thinking he might have some connection with the murder but it leads nowhere. When she throws photos of the victim on the table asking him to recall his memory, those photos suddenly turn into photos of flowers. When she looks back towards the two-way mirror to see Vidal but all she finds out is a painting hanging there. Suddenly, the teen starts reciting magical words which pisses her off and she takes him into custody for the night.
She then goes to the morgue to check on the body and ensure that it is all real. She finds the body lying on a table with a new library slip as a body tag with a name written, ‘W. Maximoff.’ Now, Agent Rio appears out of nowhere and informs Agatha that Wanda has trapped her in Westview and now she’s gone with all the copies of the ‘Darkhold’.

She runs out to her neighbour without any clothes asking how long she has been living her to which he said that it’s been 3 years now. She tries to do magic but finds out that all her power is gone and then it strikes her that she was not interrogating the teen in a police station, instead, he is locked up in her closet.
