but like, how do you not try to contact Banner, Strange, Fury, someone, etc

Spoiler: show

I think we've been asking this question in most movies since the first Avengers. It's just a kind of limitation we're gonna have to learn to live with.

Spoilers for ep.5 obviously, but his last point i completely glossed over. Also it was mentioned on Reddit:

Spoiler: show

The fact that the room full of people with Vision were all saying what Vision was reading could either show A. Wanda was reading it through Vision and everyone was parroting it because she's controlling them all, or B. Vision is acting like a sort of conduit to amp up the mind control going on. Dunno kind of interesting.

Okay, more thoughts.

Spoiler: show

With four commercials out, it looks like each one is not just a reference to Wanda's trauma, but Infinity stones as well.

The Stark Enterprises toaster: the flashing red light and the oppressive ticking are the missile that she and Pietro were trapped under, but the toaster itself looks like Vision with the Mind stone.
The Strucker watch: obviously represents Baron von Strucker and his experiments on them, but the watch represents the Time stone.
The Hydra scrub: references her time as a Hydra agent but the bar of soap is in a cube, like the Tesseract when it housed the Space stone.
The Lagos paper towels: Lagos was where she accidentally destroyed the Wakandan embassy, sparking the Civil War, but the towels were cleaning up an amorphous red blob, like the Aether/Reality stone.
That's four traumas/stones and there's 2 episodes left for sitcoms based on the previews, a Friends-era and a Modern Family-era. My guess is we'll see Power and Soul related to Pietro's death and Vision's death (or Wanda's own death from the snap). Also increasingly convinced the "actors" are her parents.

Another thing I had missed before: In episode 2, when Vision is floating downstairs during the animated intro, the Grim Reaper's helmet is in between the floorboards. In the Vision limited series, the Grim Reaper tries to attack Vision's house and his wife kills him and hides the body. Maybe it's just an Easter egg, but I'm not taking anything for granted here.

Wanda knew Director Hayward when she emerged from the Hex, and called him "Director." Either she read his mind or, my suspicion, he was the person in charge of the SWORD facility she broke into that was attempting to weaponize Vision's body. Also, Hayward's office has his degrees arranged in a Hexagon on the wall, and there's a hexagon pattern on his carpet.

Agnes/Agatha definitely knows what's going on, and something I thought of on re-watching episode 2: Señor Scratchy is the name of her rabbit. "Old Scratch" is a nickname for the devil. The thing is though, I believe Wanda when she told Vision she has no idea how they got there or how it started. She's marginally in control now but she didn't start the hex, it's just giving her what she wants. My question is now - is Agatha working with the real bad guy (Mephisto? Nightmare?) Or is she trying to keep Wanda safe without drawing attention to it?

If Quicksilver wasn't the "Luke Skywalker" moment then I have high expectations it'll be Captain Marvel or Fassbender's Magneto. Also, I said earlier, but I think the aerospace engineer is going to be either Reed Richards, Franklin Storm, or RiRi Williams, setting her up to appear in Armor Wars and then Ironheart.

I cannot fucking wait for the next episode. And there's only a one week break between when this ends and when Falcon & Winter Soldier starts!

Spoiler: show

If this is taking place just a couple weeks out from Endgame:

Banner is still injured, probably not easy to contact in the best of times.

Few people know who Dr. Strange is or how to reach him.

Fury would've been gone too around this point, and SHIELD is currently defunct anyway.

Anyone under wanda control clearly has glowing red eyes while the people in the town do not. She may have some control but there is defiantly more at work here. Which is like saying grass in green is obvious..but still.

I don’t think Agnes is working with Mephisto, I think Agnes is Mephisto

[Serra]

Spoiler: show

There are definitely kids in the Halloween commercial, so wonder how that's going to be addressed.

[Kaslo]

Spoiler: show

I'm starting to have doubts about my Agnes theory. But then what if that's just what the show wants?! But then that whole scene at the start of this episode! BUT THE BOARD!

Speaking of that first scene... Holy shit I was starting to feel uncomfortable there. Also Norm's actor did a phenomenal job of flipping the switch between inconsolable and happy-go-lucky. Going back to the board though, apparently the scene with him and Vision was supposed to have already played out before last week, since Norm's file makes mention of Vision "waking him up".

Oh, and don't go thinking I've forgotten about you, Dottie.

Yeah I think that was just a fuckup on the show's part with the board

Neat little throwback that I didn’t notice on initial viewing.

Spoiler: show

When Wanda turns the SWORD agent’s guns on the director, it’s very reminiscent of how Magneto turned the guns on the police in X-Men (2000)...but you don’t really think about that until you see Fox’s Quicksilver show up at the end.

[Tyrath]

Funny note regarding the end of the last ep

Spoiler: show

My friend a month ago told me someone had told her to watch Xmen Days of Future Past and Xmen Apocalypse because they had the better version of Quicksilver. And then I got her into WandaVision a couple weeks ago. Gonna watch the new ep with her tonight and its gonna be her first time. Great timing :D

[Alvinho]

Not sure if this is relevant, but I noticed the family in the commercials is white skinned, but have a black skinned daughter.

I think Wanda didn't mind control the Kids at first because there was no reason. As far we know. She did not set this up in the hopes of shitting out twins. I bet the kids we see during Halloween are from Wanda or the twins bringing in friends to play.

also, how the fuck did Wanda find Visions corpse? Director dickface had had it for 5 years, tore it apart, and even he said it was kept like super special awesome top secret by his higher ups(Cause having a counsel proved to work so well with SHIELD. I'd say someone told her, showed, her proof, she went and grabbed him.

And the way Wanda acts sometimes. Its very.....weird. At times, we have protective mommy bear. Othertimes, we have a scared child who doesn't know whats going on.

Everytime I watch and rewatch, I'm left with more questions than answers. Which I'm okay with cause once it all falls together, it will be amazing

[Guitarman]

Dude...
A show has no right being this good holy shit.

Spoiler: show

Pietro: Unleash hell, demon spawn! Becoming more likely its Mephisto.

It seems Agnes isn't part of this at least, so i was wrong there. Edit: then again, she could move when others couldn't, even before vision freed her...

Pietro is a corpse too...

[TummieGaruda]

Spoiler: show

I liked the quick reference to Kick-Ass since the actor who played her brother in the MCU was also Kick Ass

[Qalbert]

both of them were in it actually

[Xno Kappa]

Spoiler: show

The fact Peter’s Pietro is another corpse asking direct questions absolutely leads me to believe Wanda is being manipulated by someone.

SWORD starting to get too close to the truth? Have Wanda expand the radius of the town to engulf them.

Okay now I’m officially annoyed to wait a week.

[chazzyphizzle]

if they keep quicksilver around i hope it's evan peters, he is 1000x more charismatic than kick-ass

To be fair, he's also had a ton more screen time and dialogue than Aaron Taylor Johnson. We barely got to scratch the surface of MCU Quicksilver. It's honestly one of the few gripes I've had with the MCU so far.

In continuing the commercial theme, this episode was

Wanda's survivor's guilt + the Power Stone
