AGATHARIO KISS. I REPEAT AGATHARIO KISS.
Imagine you're a 400+ century old witch and you somehow end up falling in love with the female embodiment of death, who then has to take your son's soul after he dies, which results in you hating her. Now, you're trying to get your power back, and after years, and i mean YEARS, of not seeing her, she comes along the journey to help you and your coven get to the end of a death mission. You know what she is, you know why you don't like her, but you also know that beyond that you can never hate her. She's the only woman you've truly ever loved, and just her touch can drive you crazy. You spend each day thinking of and yearning for her, and then when the teenager you've taken under your wing almost dies, you plead with her not to take him. She does this for you, she doesn't take him, just for you. And in a campfire circle surrounded by your newfound family, she tells them all of a woman she once loved, who she is physically and emotionally pained by everyday, knowing that she hurt this woman more than she can ever explain, and more than anyone can ever imagine. She says this woman is her scar, a mark of failure and devastation she has to carry with her for the rest of her life. This woman is you. You leave to breathe, knowing it was you, knowing that just the simple word "loved" coming out of her mouth when she was talking about you made every bone in your body ache for her. She follows you, puts her hand on your back, and you can't help but to pull her in for a hug, it feels like heaven, like you're soaring above the sky with nothing else in the world but the two of you, and you realize you haven't felt the gentle touch of this woman since what happened. In your moment of longing and desperation, you cup her face, and you pull her in for a kiss, not only inches apart, but centimeters. A single breath holds her apart from you, and all those feelings you have for her rush back to you in an instant. She embraces it, but pulls back at the very moment. She knows you are vulnerable, she knows you're in pain, she knows you're not ready to feel her again. So she says your name, and she looks at you the way she always has. She didn't have to say it for you to know she loves you, and you weren't sure if her reluctance made you love her or long for her more, or both.
"She is my scar."
I fear this was the gayest line in cinematic history.

Clears Throat. Hello Everyone. I made this presentation instead of working.
Agatha All Along + text posts pt 5/?
I will need to watch this episode again (and again and again) to wrap my head around it and process everything before I write something more coherent... But for now:
Can it be any more obvious that Rio is Death? She needs bodies, she didn't heal Teen (so she's not a green witch - as they are supposed to be the healers - unless Rio didn't WANT to heal him?), she "had to do her job".
Noone can convince me otherwise.
Especially that Agatha KNEW Rio was coming - she panicked at the word "Death" in last episode (wanted to run straight away) and she knew Sharon's death will bring Rio back to her. That's why she seemed insensitive and wanted to walk on and get away from Sharon's body as quickly as possible. When she realised it wasn't going to work, she came up with a rouse that the coven needed to summon a new green witch, just to cover up who Rio really was.
I think she didn't want the coven to realise Rio was there for Agatha, but why?
And... why then expose Rio in the sound booth? Was she playing protective over the coven and wanted to let them know not to trust Rio, without actually telling them? Or, was that simply another way to distance herself from Rio - show her that she still hated her?
I think in the end she falls apart at the words "She is my scar". The whole episode Agatha was trying to just get away from Rio and was frustrated how much hold she still has on her. As much as Rio plays a lost puppy, trying to follow her everywhere, we see that the feeling is mutual. That last scene was SOOOOO SOOOFT and you can tell how much Agatha reacted at her slight touch and how much she needed this. If Rio didn't speak, who knows how far they'd take it...
But is Rio's job just being Death? Or, more specifically, is she to follow Agatha everywhere she goes? Is this a result of some pact (marriage?) or did Agatha bind Rio to herself?
The witches talk about their scars and it sounds like the Road is targeting just that. I bet there will be a vampire in Lilia's tarot trial!
So what if the Road taps into Rio's "scar" as well? What if, instead of getting Agatha back, Rio's wish is actually to break that connection between them because it feels too painful? I hope not!
If the master doesn’t return soon I AM suing for emotional distress
