Agatha was lowkey proven right for decades (Episode 9)

I'm rewatching the show in preparation for Vision Quest, and it made me think.

When it comes to the Witches' Road>!scam,!<Agatha was only shown killing witches that attacked her first. This is the same with her original coven as well (mind you her crimes were literally just learning magic "above her station" and practicing dark magic like... she wasn't even a serial killer atp it can't have been that serious).

A belief that stemmed from her trauma was reinforced for her whole life. So it's no surprise that Agatha continued killing witches for so long and didn't bother being part of a coven. In every instance they try to KILL her just because she ragebaited them over the road not opening.

This is why despite her being a villain I don't count those deaths "against" her because wtf was their problem??

Do you guys have new thoughts on the show? Am I stupid?

Are Corals and Carnivorous Plants examples of convergent evolution?

Q: Does science consider the evolution of a sessile animal that photosynthesizes (indirectly) a form of convergent evolution towards the niche of plants? Are carnivorous plants a form of convergent evolution towards the niche of carnivorous animals?

More context: I'm not any kind of biologist but I like to think about things sometimes. After taking an EAS class and learning more about Coral, I found it interesting how similar they are in functionality to an actual plant despite being an animal. It made me wonder how corals would evolve over millions of years. Likewise, carnivorous plants evolved to capture and consume prey in nutrient-deficient environments where other plants would wilt away. How would those species evolve over time?
