WandaVision Episode 8 Easter Eggs EXPLAINED - What's The Real Meaning Behind MCU Scarlet Witch?

After familiarising the viewer with Agatha's origins the episode whisks us back to the present day, where Agatha lays out her motivations to Wanda about how she wants to learn her powers, and how she created the Hex.

Before she gets to all of that though she picks up her pet rabbit, Scratchy, and talks to him after the animal makes some noises, saying "I know, she does seem shocked to meet the real us, doesn't she?"

Others have already pointed out how Scratchy the rabbit may have been a not so subtle callback to Agatha's evil son in the comics, Nicholas Scratch, but this feels like our biggest confirmation yet that there's more to the rabbit than just whiskers and fluffiness - especially when he straight up demolishes that bird like a descendant of the rabbit from The Holy Grail.

Now it's unclear for definite who Sir Scratchy really is, but if it is Agatha's son, there may yet be another evil magic user in the MCU's horizon.

In the comics, Nicholas Scratch stayed in New Salem after Agatha left and took control of the colony, turning them against his mother and setting in forth all sorts of evil schemes that would later involve the Fantastic Four.
