Marvel Studios' latest miniseries, Agatha All Along, premiered on Disney+ Hotstar on 18 September. The show is a new Jac Schaeffer creation and a spin-off of WandaVision. The previous film, starring Elizabeth Olsen, is praised for its perfection and creating suspense. One suspense includes the character of Teen, who happens to be a highly questionable person about whom little to nothing is known.

Teen was kidnapped and found in Agatha's house in Westview in Agatha All Along, and no one knows how he got there. He has a sigil spell that prevents his true identity from being revealed when he talks about it. The secret is revealed when Teen discovers Alice's corpse, and it unleashes a seething rage in his body. Agatha reminds Teen that he is Alice’s son. Enraged, Teen uses his supernatural powers to possess the bodies of Lilia and Jen and buries them in sinking mud in an apparent episode of murder.

Following the scene in Agatha All Along, viewers see Teen wearing a blue crown. This seals his identity as Billy Kaplan because his head is similar to that of the Scarlet Witch.

How is Teen’s true identity brought forward in Agatha All Along episode 5?

Agatha All Along episode 5 takes the coven through their latest trial, an emotional reckoning for Agatha in the aesthetic of an 80s teen slasher. As the other witches learn about Agatha's deadly past and her strained relationship with her mother, who appears as a ghost to haunt her daughter, things suddenly go wrong. But in the process, Agatha sucks all the magic out of Alice Wu-Gulliver, played by Ali Ahn, all kills her.

The coven once again returns to the street. Teen berates Agatha for what she did to Alice; as per the witches’s rule, they aren’t supposed to kill each other. Teen mockingly tells Agathat that though she is a witch but for her, killing should be okay if it serves a witch's need to achieve an individual goal. Trickster Agatha coyly remarks that Teen is "just like [his] mother," and he retaliates in a big way. It seems like Teen had already decoded who Teen is.

Teen traps Agatha, Jennifer Kale (Sasheer Zamata), and Lilia Calderu (Patti Lupone) beneath the muddy surface of the road. Teen can do this thanks to the pale blue energy emanating from his fingertips, as an elaborate crown magically appears on his forehead. Because of this, we can be sure that Teen is secretly an older Billy Maximoff, one of the sons of Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch.


How is Teens’ identity as Billy Kaplan confirmed in Agatha All Along?

After using his blue magic for the first time in Agatha All Along, Teen has a silver crown appearing on his head. This crown seals who he is: Billy Maximoff, better known as the magical superhero Wiccan.

The last time we saw Billy Maximoff was when he was an underage tween in WandaVision and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. At first, Billy and Tommy were conjured under Wanda's spell when her anguish and trauma turned the entire town of Westview into her reality. Her children seemed to have been erased from reality when she broke the spell. But Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness clarified that Billy and Tommy exist in other universes.
