![]() After the twins were born (more on them later), Vision saw Agnes and Herb (David Payton) conferring in a hushed and urgent fashion. Barging into Wanda’s life at the most inopportune moment is kind of the nosy neighbor’s job, isn’t it? So, what if Wanda’s powers bleeding into Westview also means they’re starting to bleed outside of it, too - and that’s becoming a problem? What is Agnes trying to hide?Īround the time Monica/Geraldine showed up at Wanda’s doorstep, Agnes’ (Kathryn Hahn) absence in the episode to that point felt jarring. But Wanda did quietly disappear once before with Vision in “Avengers: Infinity War,” so it’s not like it’s out of the ordinary for her. That could just be because Wanda’s an Avenger, and people will notice if she’s not around. It’s clear now that when Wanda apparently disappeared into Westview, people took notice, and they’ve been trying to break Wanda out of it - or at least reach her inside it. So, is this only affecting the world of Westview, or perhaps the outside world as well? Her contractions even caused the coats she threw on to hid her pregnancy from Monica (a fun wink at how pregnancies have been historically hidden on sitcoms) to suddenly change. Later, when her water broke, it started raining inside their house - and at least in Monica’s as well. ![]() Wanda’s first big contraction caused the power to short out in the neighborhood. Which leads to the next question: What else did Wanda’s contractions cause? ![]() Indeed, Wanda’s powers manifesting in this way seem at odds with the idea that she just wants to live a “normal” life inside a TV-inflected fantasy.Īll this confusion, by the way, is in keeping with the ways Wanda’s powers have altered reality within the Marvel Comics - sometimes she’s in command of what she’s doing, and sometimes she very much isn’t. The mobile of butterflies Wanda placed over the crib and the stork she painted on the wall both became real without any conscious effort - and, in the case of the stork, caused some very sitcom-y consternation for Wanda when she couldn’t make it disappear. ![]() First, of course, there was her rapid pregnancy, and the wacky shenanigans caused by her (first Braxton-Hicks, then real) contractions. That’s the impression given by this week’s fake ad for “Hydra Soak,” a mysterious bath item with an eyebrow-raising name that promises to help you “escape to a world all your own … when you want to get away, but you don’t want to go anywhere.” Certainly seems like what Wanda’s been doing!Īll that said, it also seems like Wanda isn’t that in control of her powers within this world. In Episode 3, her time-reversing abilities appeared to get an upgrade: After Vision (Paul Bettany) voiced his suspicions that their reality is somehow “wrong,” the scene simply cut back to a few seconds earlier, and Vision shifted back into reassuring husband mode.īetween that moment and Wanda appearing to exile Monica from Westview (more on that later), it seems that Wanda wants to be living inside a sitcom fantasy, and she’ll go to great lengths to maintain it. At the end of last week’s episode, Wanda seemed to rewind reality once she saw the Mysterious Beekeeper pop out of a manhole cover.
