Vision’s deed is an Agnes trick. No way Vision has a NJ deed with ‘The Vision’ officially typed on it 😂 Does He have a 750 Credit score & $ to buy a lot? I don’t think of him drawing hearts and leaving love notes either. No. In general, I think Wanda got upset, started the Hex and began the 50s e1 & who was in e1? ‘Agnes all along’. Unaffected and ready to exploit Wanda. I think she & maybe Mephisto have been in NJ the whole time and purposefully lured Wanda there to learn her power

[@AlbertusSalvatierra]

This episode was emotionally devastating. When she opened that letter, and the look on her face when she dropped to her knees was so upsetting. She was so heartbroken from multiple points in her life, and she couldn’t take it.

[@ft.jackjimmy7282]

The most emotionally devastating part of the episode for me was when she couldn't feel Vision anymore when she saw him one last time. It's the thing they always do together and it's so heartbreaking that it doesn't work anymore.

I noticed this detail where when Vision wrote "To grow old in", essentially they DID grow old together. Wandavision is set over a span of decades from the 50s to the now 20s, so they spent 70 years together in their "dream fantasy". They had kids, had Sparky, and stuck with each other through it all. I am now once again, bawling.

I have a feeling Agatha just created the basement while there. She mentions that only the creator of the hex stones can use her magic. I think it's just a pocket dimension or something along those lines.

[@ft.jackjimmy7282]

yeah, she probably created a place that Wanda's power can not affect as the whole town changes throughout the decades, that basement is the only thing that didn't change.

[@mcawdor]

That's basically what I'm thinking. It makes sense with the aspect ratio shift in Episode 7 as Wanda walks into the dungeon, going from the fullscreen ratio of the "modern family"-esque sitcom to the widescreen ratio of the "real world" scenes. Because she's walking into a location that's protected from the magic powering the sitcom reality.

[@alexandrabarka6285]

I agree also! Agatha said she was drawn to westview so the basement didn’t exist there before. Pocket dimensions was easily done in Dr Strange.

Wanda telling them to “stop it” while watching them disassembling Vision is the reason “stop it” was a trigger in the first episode

Does no one else think that Hayward’s lost someone? The “not everyone has the power to bring someone they love back” line, along with him telling Monica she doesn’t know what it was like during the blip, makes me think that he lost someone not directly to the snap but as a result of it, meaning they didn’t come back. This would feed into his obsession with creating things that can go toe-to-toe with superheroes and his seeming refusal to rely upon them.

[@Figgypooh]

I’ve heard this question asked before: why she picked a house next to a witches basement. Why are people automatically jumping to this ridiculous conclusion? Why wouldn’t you just assume Agatha showed up later, and built the witch stuff inside an already existing basement? She says she sensed this place, meaning Westview. Be pretty weird if she “sensed” it while inside the hex, instead of just looking around and observing it. Plus there are all those plastic tarps, implying it’s undergone construction recently. Why couldn’t Agatha show up, and mind control some people to build the witch stuff? Or just use magic to build it? She’s been in Westview for about a week, and isn’t on screen that much. Probably been working on remodeling that basement this whole time.

[@ivanradonic5189]

Exactly, Agatha's line "But I sensed this place, the afterglow of so many spells cast all at once" sounded to me like she detected something and came to see what it is. That "afterglow" she mentions kinda sounds like the Cosmic Background Radiation that Darcy detects and "so many spells cast all at once" does fit when you think of how many spells it would take put together to rewrite reality like Wanda did.

I would also note that Wanda through the various sitcoms has been moving through the 5 stages of grief, denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and now finally acceptance mirroring the evolution of sitcoms in general of an idealized version of reality steadily towards the more realistic shows of modern TV. This would fit with the idea of Agatha as a therapist/mentor and her trying to help Wanda cope with her grief.

[@McHaro0079]

I mentioned in the other thread that if Agatha couldn't really control her dark/purple magic very well in the late 17th Century, she may has yet to deal with her own grief of unwillingly killing her mom, even though that never show in the surface (but hinted by taking her mom's pendent).

[@RusTsea196T]

Nice observation, Ben.

[@McHaro0079]

@JD Quest We can't sure about it. I rewatched the beginning again and I did not see much emotion in that scene. It's kind of like: "You leave me no choice. Oh well..." but who knows if she would have any regret after three hundred something years later. Well, I could be wrong about it. But the emotion on the next scene with Wanda was just different. Except the last smirk before flying away, she was kinda emotionless.

[@KoolKukumber]

@@McHaro0079 she was emotionless. Perhaps she was sincere in the beginning but it could have also been a trick.

[@McHaro0079]

A lot of Agnes and Wandas conversation in the basement revolves around how strong Wanda was. Agnes was talking about how hard it is to do simple transmutation spells, which makes you think that her shock a few episodes ago when she thought Wanda could raise the dead (sparky) was genuine.

[@KelKelray25]

Wandas “dream tv reality” is like ptsd dreams. Her brain subconsciously processing the major traumas of her life and Agatha is like the therapist trying to make her deal with the trauma out in the open? Also what if “fake Pietro” was the missing persons? He could’ve just not been visible on the board and that explains how he’s here and how Agatha could control him even if she didn’t bring him here and why he would be snooping around?

I think, it's not underneath whatever and not in Westview at all. It's more alike a Main Station. It's kind of a Tomb with daylight from above and you have to go through magic doors (portals) to enter. Like the doors to Wandas Memories. Maybe it was a Travel-Hub for the Covenant, before Agatha occupied it.

[@regidus]

this !!

[@toddparker3180]

I like that this episode expanded on Wanda's tie to the Mind gem. After seeing this episode, I believe that when Wanda killed Vision in Infinity War, she actually absorbed his essence/soul. This is why Wanda could not detect his presence in his body in the SWORD HQ. When Wanda created her reality, she expelled his stored soul/essence and created a ghost like version of Vision. I think Wanda/Vision's offspring are truly offspring, resulting from the combination of Wanda and Vision's essence sharing the same vessel. Meanwhile SWORD recreated Vision's body which is essentially souless/empty/blank. Since Empty vision was created using Wanda's power, he will be able to cross into the Hex reality. I believe the series will end with Spirit Vision merging with Empty Vision, but there will be gaps in his memory which allow for future stories with Wanda rebuilding her relationship with Vision.

[@patrickcarney13]

Concerning the basement: I didn’t take it to mean that was literally the basement of that Westview NJ house, more like Agatha took over that house and created a portal to her lair on the basement stairs or something, because it’s clearly outside the hex anyway.

I'm genuinely curious why people are confused as to how Pietro has powers too. They're twins... two halves of a whole. They share DNA! It's how she knew he had been killed even though they were miles away from each other on the floating part of Sokovia. If she was born with powers, then so was he... right? Or maybe I'm crazy! 😜

[@proxi9511]

Exactly. And I don't understand the "If Wanda was born with powers then she was probably adopted" thought process, either. I feel like the more likely way it happened was that yes, the twins are mutants; Wanda was born with powers, but Pietros mutant x-gene was latent until they joined Struckers experiments. If I remember correctly, it's how Deadpool got his powers too, he had a latent X-gene that was activated when he went in for the experimental treatment. And now that Deadpool is coming to the MCU as well, it's not that big of a leap to make if we're now certain that Mutants are officially going to be a part of the MCU.

[@bobjob2514]

I would like to think that her mutation just increases her inherited magic, making it easier for her than Agatha, etc. Since the infinity stones are written as semi self aware, maybe that caused the “choosing” that happened in the experiment, and... now modern day quandaries unfold...

The kids are likely leading towards a Mephisto reveal. “Fake Pietro” isn’t just a random guy. Yes he’s been mind controlled by Agatha, but she, nor Wanda, can manifest Quicksilver’s powers onto a normal being. Wanda likely subconsciously pulled Peter from the X-Men universe and brought into the hex and when Agatha noticed someone with super powers similar to Pietro entered the hex she took control of his mind.

In the flashback, I feel Pietro actually reveals his powers at the point of the explosive impact, because he came from behind Wanda, like from another room, clear from the rubble, as where she was sort of covered in its debris. I think it's a easter egg that implies that they both already had powers. Plus as she reached forward, Pietro warns "Wanda don't" before she's snatched back by Agtha into her adult form. What that tells me is that they both already knew of each other's ability and was keeping it secret.

That's a good theory. I noticed that when they show Westview and it's all run down, ppl are unemployed and despondent. But in the Hex everyone is employed and has "ideal" lives.

Therefore I think she took a house next to Wanda, and used her powers to create a basement that fit her needs as a witch.

Someone else may have already pointed this out, but if you go back to the scene where Wanda leaves the hex and is talking to the SWORD agents, her accent starts coming back.
