Still, the kids very nearly found an incredible workaround to getting hold of a PlayStation 5.) With Wanda experiencing a full-blown breakdown, in front of her children no less, Agnes conveniently arrives to take the twins off of her hands so she can get some much-needed alone time.Įlsewhere in Westview, Vision-after nearly dying for a third time-is suddenly surrounded by a traveling circus of recently reformed S.W.O.R.D. (Wanda is losing control so much that the video game controllers temporarily become Uno cards. What’s more is that Wanda is letting her reality unravel too, as the designs for everything from the milk in the fridge to the twins’ video game controllers begins quickly morphing across generations. Wanda wakes up feeling some guilt after drawing even more people into her sitcom world the night before, so she punishes herself by taking a “quarantine-style staycation.” (Even as she tears apart reality with her magical powers, the witch still finds a way to be deeply relatable during this pandemic.) Through Wanda’s interview confessionals, we learn that she is unraveling, succumbing to her grief once and for all.

Suddenly, Wanda went from the creator of her own TV series to just another actor playing a role in one. Wanda Maximoff quickly went from being the all-powerful witch who was terrorizing all of Westview to becoming a victim herself, subject to the manipulation of another witch named Agatha Harkness. Though many had expected the reveal since Kathryn Hahn was cast as simply a “nosy neighbor” named Agnes, it took seven episodes for the show to finally reveal its true villain. Following some brief technical difficulties at launch, late-night WandaVision viewers were rewarded with the series’ biggest reveal yet: It’s been Agatha all along.
