The silent spell that Wanda casts over the inhabitants of Westview as they avoid the utterance of the word 'Wanda' sets out the final consequence that Wanda's actions bestowed upon the town.
4) Darkhold is the Power
The screenplay and narrative of Agatha All Along are all centered around Agatha's research and the influence Darkhold casts. This directly relates to both Agatha and Wanda since it describes the Darkhold's impact on them to further the work for the series.
5) Cause of death Of Agatha's victim: Blunt-force trauma
The pilot sets Agatha on the hunt to track a murder by blunt-force trauma. Forensics indicates that the body was crushed with something heavy, an apparent metaphor for Wanda Maximoff's death at the hands of Mount Wundagore during Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
6) Salem Seven: The Dark Organisation of Witches and Warlocks
Salem Seven is described in the comics as a magical strength and son of Nicholas Scratch, which seems quite an important part of Agatha's power conquest.
7) Season of the Witch plays during the credits
The final credits of episode 1 of Agatha All Along feature Donovan's 1966 song "Season of the Witch," which is a better match for the series' witch-themed plot.

Señor Scratchy, Agatha's pet rabbit, is somehow connected with Nicholas, her son. It can be inferred that the rabbit may have been his when he was still alive.
9) Those harpies are dust

The mysterious Teen who might have been required to break off from Wanda's spell on Agatha remains a mystery. His role and connection with Agatha are kept open for future episodes.

12) All the versions of Agatha from WandaVision

Agatha's brooch holds a multitude of the Triple Goddesses icons—Mother, Maiden, and Crone—which directly connect to actual neopagan practices and the Ballad of the Witches' Road sung by Agatha's coven.
16) Rio Vidal: A rival to Agatha Harkness
A flashback sequence introduces Rio Vidal, a federal agent who knows of Wanda's spell. He says he has a history as long as Walton's telephone book about a rivalry against Agatha. As the comic book reveals, Wanda reverses her spell so that Agatha can regain her powers and fight against her better.
17) Dirt from Eastern Europe
Forensic reports show dirt under the victim's nails, which comes from Eastern Europe, the same location as Mount Wundagore, as found in the MCU and the lore of Marvel Comics.

The librarian informs Agatha that every last copy of the book was burned in a fire, referencing Wanda's destruction of every Darkhold copy when she brought down Mount Wundagore.
19) Agatha's victim stole her book three years ago

20) Dialogue and rhetoric: Established history of learning and strife
A library slip found in the victim's body leads Agatha to a book called Dialogue and Rhetoric: Known History of Learning and Debate by Andrew Ugo. The title of this book is an acronym for Darkhold, and the author's name is an anagram for Wundagore, referencing Wanda Maximoff.
21) Agatha's brooch: More important than it seems
Agatha discovers a brooch - not taken from her mother in WandaVision- floating in the water. She does not remember it at first, but the weight is considerable, and the meaning will come later in the story.
22) Agatha's victim has black fingers
The blackened state of the victim's fingers in Agatha All Along, indicative of Darkhold use, presents Wanda as one of the probable dead people, as in WandaVision, where Agatha and Wanda both presented a similar state due to their Darkhold usage.
23) You never know
Agatha says, "Well, you never know." It's about the point of the victim most assuredly being dead, with Scarlet Witch possibly being revived by the end of the series.

In Agatha All Along, Herb shows that people in Westview do not even mention Wanda's name, and the town is still suffering from Wanda's spell.
