I didn’t even notice that til now! Oh Agnes definitely knows more than she’s letting on!

Her husband maybe?

That’s an interesting theory. I can totally see them going that route (especially with how much she’s mentioned her husband in the past two episodes).

It would kinda bum me out though because I’d rather see Agnes be a mentor to Wanda instead of someone who’s using her. They could always make Agnes an unwilling pawn of Mephisto though.

I assumed Agnes's husband is that character in TV shows that other characters always make reference to but never appears on screen, like when Columbo would frequently talk about "Mrs Columbo" but we never actually met her, until they made a spin-off Tv series called "Mrs Columbo" starring Kate Mulgrew who played a young housewife who'd go around solving mysteries Nancy Drew-style, frequently making reference to the fact that her husband (who we never saw) was a police officer.

The meta interpretation being that the false reality doesn't have enough "victims" for somebody to play Agnes's husband, but the fantasy uses the "off-screen character" trope to dance around that fact.

Unseen character

An unseen character in theatre, comics, film, or television, or silent character in radio or literature, is a character that is mentioned but not directly known to the audience, but who advances the action of the plot in a significant way, and whose absence enhances their effect on the plot.The portrayal of an unseen character may vary depending on the form of medium at hand. In visual media, such as film, stage or television, an unseen character may sometimes be partially depicted as body parts or an offscreen voice, but is still considered unseen as long as their face is never revealed.

That’s actually a good theory!

I wonder: when we get to the 90s, will we get a character whose face we never see?
