Agatha All Along Episode 4: Alice's Trial Requires a Song
Since the previous Agatha All Along episode focused on Jen (played by Sasheer Zamata) solving the clue, the fourth episode titled If I Can't Reach You, Let My Song Teach You, puts Ali Ahn's Alice on the spot.
The minute they entered the strange home on the road, Alice knew it was her turn to ensure she and the coven would pass it and make it through the witch's road.
In the house filled with music, a recording booth, heck even its own stage in the lobby (plus the mystical episode title), the witches' coven should inevitably do the same thing they did that led them on this road: sing.
In this case, her trial involves her connection to her mother and the curse. Alice didn't have to know that the familial curse remained active, but the moment Teen (Joe Locke) touched the vinyl record, as Lilia (Patti LuPone) put it, every witch in the coven had been inflicted with the same generational curse.
The only way to break it was for the witches to sing a ballad. Specifically, the title song on the ripped vinyl card Alice picked up: The Ballad of the Witches' Road by her mother Lorna Wu.
This was thanks to Agatha when they realized that the so-called burnt "birthmarks" Lilia, Jen, and Alice had were remnants from the protection spell Lorna cast before the curse could kill them.
Agatha assigned each witch to a specific instrument to play the Witches' Road Ballad, figuring that this is what Lorna did to prevent the spell from taking over and destroying their coven once and for all.
