Agatha All Alongcomes to its conclusion with a double - sequence closing curtain tonight on Disney+ , but we ’re still thinking about last calendar week ’s episode , “ Death ’s Hand in Mine . ” It bid farewell to one of the better characters ( RIP , Lilia ) while furthering the development of Joe Locke’smysterious young magic - exploiter ; he was known only as “ Teen , ” untilthe detailed revealof his truthful personal identity and backstory in episode six .
He ’s William Kaplan , but as most fans had already surmised , he ’s also Billy Maximoff , resurrected son of Wanda Maximoff , aka the Scarlet Witch . He ’s walking the Witches ’ Road with Agatha ( Kathryn Hahn ) and her hastily assembled , rapidly depleting coven , hoping it ’ll put up a way to reconnect with Tommy , his long - lost duplicate brother . We wo n’t know until after the finale if there ’s a folk reunion in store , but it ’ll be hard for any big import to top the reveal of Billy ’s translation into Maleficent , Sleeping Beautyantagonist turned Angelina Jolie - move Disney antihero , during “ Death ’s Hand in Mine . ”
As fans will call back , all the surviving witches — who’ve gotten an outfit alteration with each trial along the Witches ’ route — all of a sudden found their fashion became cinematically amplify . Agatha , for example , was the green - skinned Wicked Witch of the West fromThe Wizard of Oz . Billy ’s look as Maleficent , however , was the most exciting , both for witness and the show ’s costume architect , Daniel Selon .

In a new interview withVariety , Selon ( who was part of the Emmy - win costume department onWandaVision ) excuse the careful planning and thought process that went into create Locke ’s ensemble . “ It ’s important in veritable fagot representation to make certain that it ’s done with the right intention . And so we looked at the original Maleficent character that is played by a female presenting Evil Queen and she is in a expectant , voluminous dress , essentially , ” he articulate . “ So it was like , ‘ okay , Joe , are we putting you in a skirt , or does this become pants ? ' ”
It did not become pants , as it sprain out , and Marvel and Disney were just okay with that . “ We did ask the query . We made certain with everybody high-pitched up the chain , it was like , ‘ Here we drew it , we made our illustration . ’ We were like , ‘ This is what we want to do . Is this cool ? Making sure you all can see that ’s a skirt . ’ And everybody was like , ‘ utterly yes , of course . ' ”
With that detail out of the way , Selon plunged forrad ; he tell Variety the only direction hedidget for the design to was to verify Locke felt “ at his most muscular ” while wearing it . “ [ The textile ] is covered in these midget leather … sequences that have a ruminative quality , but it ’s also like panoplied Draco skin . And so I sort of wanted to push him from the feminine into this form of tartar which Maleficent becomes . ”
