Why Can’t Rio Vidal Kill Agatha? Witches’ Code Explained

Why Can’t Rio Vidal Kill Agatha? Witches’ Code Explained

As a dedicated fan with over two decades of Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) under my belt, I must say that the opening episodes of “Agatha All Along” have left me spellbound! The intricate plot twists and character development are truly enchanting, and Kathryn Hahn’s portrayal of Agatha is nothing short of magical.


The first two episodes of the newly-released MCU series, “Agatha All Along,” have effectively set the stage for the further exploits of the title character, the purple witch, Agatha (played by Kathryn Hahn). Upon escaping Wanda’s enchantment, Agatha discovers that her powers are no more. She encounters another witch, Rio Vidal, who is shown to be chasing after her. However, viewers are left puzzled as to why Rio is unable to eliminate Agatha, even though the latter has surrendered her magical prowess.

This information covers everything you need to know about it, emphasizing the witch’s law that forbids mystical entities from harming each other.

Why Aubrey Plaza’s Rio Vidal can’t kill Agatha Harkness?

Rio Vidal can’t kill Agatha because of the witches’ code first conveyed in 2021’s WandaVision.

From the beginning, it’s clear that Aubrey Plaza’s character, Rio, seeks revenge against Agatha. She even tries to stab Agatha with a dagger, but later reveals she can’t actually kill her. This is because of the witches’ code which prohibits Rio Vidal from taking Agatha Harkness’ life.

Additionally, it’s suggested that Rio may have been romantically involved with Agatha in the past. This history between them might explain her desire to take Agatha’s life. Yet, it seems more probable that Rio is pursuing the purple witch due to her mother and coven betrayal, as well as her refusal to face an upcoming trial.

Since Rio is known to be an eco-friendly witch and a champion of justice, it seems logical that she wouldn’t take Agatha’s life. However, these assumptions about her intentions are just theories; we’ll have to wait for upcoming episodes to learn Rio’s true motives.

What is Agatha All Along’s Witches Code?

The witches’ code is essentially a set of rules that should be followed by all witches. The instructions, among other things, also include not using dark magic above one’s station.

This element made its debut in WandaVision when Agatha stood trial for using dark magic. Although she argued it was an error, she ultimately received a death sentence from her mother and coven. However, she managed to evade punishment by eliminating the entire coven before her judgment could be carried out.

The trial makes clear that a forbidden magic code exists, as Agatha faces punishment for using dark sorcery. Not only does her actions of slaying other witches and avoiding justice make her a wanted fugitive, but it also raises questions about whether Rio Vidal is seeking vengeance due to Agatha’s actions against fellow practitioners of magic. However, the motive behind Rio Vidal’s presence remains unclear for now. Fans will have to tune in for future episodes to get a better understanding of this complex situation.
