Last episode, we had Vision trying to understand the nature of the Westview reality, and he broke the barrier! This started to revert him back with pieces of himself flying back to Westview, he was dying! Billy sensed this and warned his mother. Pietro joked about Vision’s death so Wanda blasted him! Her solution was to extend the bubble, this transformed S.W.O.R.D. into a Westview circus complete with clowns, and swallowed up Darcy Lewis! The circus might be Wanda's contempt for S.W.O.R.D. Fan speculation is that her action may have transformed people into mutants! Hayward managed to escape in a jeep as well as Monica and Jimmy. Wanda wakes up, she used her powers to a maximum. This looks like some kind of 90’s tv show. She confesses to the camera and goes back to the events of the night. S.W.O.R.D. agents are screaming trying to escape the Westview anamoly.
Billy and Tommy enter her room to tell their mom that their game is “freaking out”, transforming into games from different eras in seconds. Expanding Westview may have broken her control. Still, Wanda is tired and stays in bed. Billy says his head “feels weird.” Wanda’s confession is that she will stay all by herself for a day. She throws back the covers and we see that she is in her Scarlet Witch costume! The kids are arguing over the remote as Wanda comes down stairs in her blue, flannel sleep robe and sweat pants. She goes to the kitchen for some Westview almond milk and Sugar Snaps cereal. A carton of milk suddenly appears, there’s a missing photo of kid that is unclear, and after she pours a bowl for her cereal, it transforms into a milk bottle! She see a new intro, all orchestra, no pop song and it is now the Wanda show, with Vision added at the end. At the S.W.O.R.D. base outside of Westview, Hayward is told of their status and that WandaVision has gone off the air. He wants a “launch” that day. This will put Westview, especially Wanda in danger, finale!
Vision wakes up to see the circus at the edge of Westview. A strong man thinks Vision is a clown and takes him over to the escape artist, Darcy! Vision says he recognizes Darcy. She breaks free of the chains keeping her to a truck and walks away. Wanda asks her kids playing video games if they have seen their father. Billy brings up Uncle Pete saying about the “re-killing” their dad. Wanda tells them that he is not their uncle and she tries to laugh at the “meaningless” of life. There is a bit of sitcom music, but no laugh track, this is the dramadies of the 90’s. She joins her kids on the couch to watch some t.v. A knock at the door and Wanda uses her powers to open it to Agnes. She takes away Billy and Tommy since their mother can barely cope. Alone, Wanda finds parts of the home switching eras and uses her hex powers to restore the house. In the confessional, she repeats, “I’m fine” like the Westview residents. Monica is driving with Jimmy who is going over Darcy’s work hacking into Hayward’s files.
She found Operation Cataract, the project to bring back Vision, his body was taken by Wanda in S.W.O.R.D. facility. Hayward is looking to get back his “sentient weapon.” Monica spots her contacts, two trucks, and Major Goodner (Rachael Thompson) who was loyal to Maria Rambeau. Not really Reed Richards, this character seems more rooted in Monica's past, it may have been presumptive to bring in a character when the script hasn't been finished for the FF movie. Goodner might be delivering the vehicle, not the astrophysicist. Maybe the mutant theory is also out, but without a doubt Monica is transformed into a superhero. Out of a trailer, is the S.W.O.R.D. vehicle, a heavy transport with three massive tires. Back at the circus, escape artist Darcy is distracted by Vision so he can restore her mind. She tells Vision his name and he finds that she is important to understanding this world. The Strong Man tries to stop Darcy from leaving so she punches him! They drive away in the Funnel of Love truck! Wanda finds the house is still shifting eras, in the confessional chair, she feels things are out of control and hears the voice of a man off camera! A commercial about depression has a woman on a bench as it continues with the Nexus pill. This might refer to the Nexus of All Realities that is connected to Man-Thing.
At Agnes house, Billy feeds the rabbit, and admits that Agnes is “quiet in the inside.” Agnes tries to reassure them about Wanda. Monica is being prepared in what looks like an astronaut suit. Jimmy sees her off to the mission to find Darcy. Major Goodner tells Jimmy as Monica enters the vehicle that it is a “heavily armored space rover.” Um, but how does it protect from a reality altering bubble? Monica drives the rover across a field and strikes the barrier, but does not get through. The rover is flipped upwards and starts to take over it. Jimmy tries to warn Monica over a walkie talkie. The barrier transforms half of the rover into a van and throws it. Monica looks at the barrier and Jimmy knows this is dangerous for her to cross over. She runs to the barrier and is about to push through, we get distortions of her face, this is similar to the movie Contact (1997). She hears voices from the past including her mother and Jimmy. Monica forces her way forward, her eyes are now icy blue, and she makes it across in her astronaut suit. She sees the distortion of the world past the barrier. Then, her eyes revert to her normal brown eyes. Monica drops the suit and runs into town. Darcy is bringing Vision up to speed about what happened in Avengers: Infinity War as they drive in the funnel cake truck. It seems Wanda is blocking Vision from returning home, maybe she suspects he knows the hard truths that she was keeping from him. We have the confrontation with Monica and Wanda; Monica tries to help her. Also, we are getting the dark truth of Agnes! The power of Agnes looks purple like the Power Stone that was in Guardians of the Galaxy, did Doctor Strange entrust the Infinity Stones to Wanda and "Agnes"? Mid credit scene, a little shocker! A good episode of WandaVision!
Three Mind Stones out of Five!
