SPOILER WARNING! IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THE FIFTH EPISODE!

Episode 5

The Story-view

The episode, based on the 1980s, starts with Wanda trying to control her babies and stop them from crying by using her power but failing in attempt, which is quite mysterious. A lot of episodes show us Agnes trying to interfere in Vision's and Wanda's life, like any other nosy neighbor (or not..) and doing some tricks to stop the babies from crying. We see some unnatural fast growth of the babies and also saw them aging them up by themselves. The whole story of this episode says to us that Vision feels suspicious about something, something which is not right there in Westview. Wanda seems to be quite comfortable near Agnes and she shows powers in front of her and also hiding a lot from Vision. As this suspicions grow roots in Vision's head, Vision gets uncomfortable near Wanda and starts questioning her which results in an argument between them, which we think will continue in future episodes too.

Ending

As Vision's suspicions start to come true in his mind, as he starts getting to know about the mysteries in Westview, he starts to question every single thing to Wanda and she seems to avoid those. But this time, Vision isn't stopping, he asks further questions and in that moment, the door bell rang. The most shocking moment of the episode, Quicksilver's return. Darcy saw from outside and has the same thoughts as ours. Quicksilver is re-casted? We see a new Quicksilver, the twin brother of Wanda, played by Evan Peters, which was rumored a year ago. Why is Quicksilver re-casted? Is this a twist in the show? Well, it seems Marvel Studios yet again, kept us fans on a cliffhanger.

Major Details

In the very first scenes, when Agnes tries to help the babies stop crying, Vision stops her. After that very moment, Agnes hesitantly says facing towards Wanda, "Do you want me to take that again?" as if she knows that they are in a sitcom show. So, all this time, the rewinds done by Wanda, were those done by the help of Agnes? Both Wanda and Vision seem to be confused as Agnes gets into a serious tone and then tries a few tricks of her with a bottle of something liquid. Could be some Witchcraft potion or anything? Because after that shot, we get to see 5 year old Billy and Tommy. I mean, from infants to 5 year olds within a second is pretty unnatural, right? Every time the twins age up fast, the appearance of the dog and its death, Agnes is present. Is Agnes the one doing this? And if she knows about this whole life being a show, did she make a deal with Wanda in order to do something? This further increases our theory on the Mephisto plot for the Disney+ show.

When Monica's reports come, it is said that her reports are blank. This could be the origin story of a new superhero, Monica Rambeau as Photon, gaining powers from the shock power of Wanda and the energy field radiation.

In a briefing at SWORD tents outside Westview, we see Monica defending Wanda but a camera footage of 9 days earlier is shown to us of Wanda storming into SWORD facility and taking Vision's dead body from there. This was supposed to be the post-credits scene of Avengers Endgame which was later on avoided by Kevin Feige.

In a scene, when a topic of Captain Marvel comes on, Monica quickly changes the topic through which it seems like she's having a grudge on her on a reason which we still don't know. This can possibly be solved in the sequel of Captain Marvel and we may also get to know how Maria Rambeau got cancer. In any ways, Captain Marvel might be involved in it according to Monica's reaction.

We see Vision bringing back consciousness of Norm or Abhilash Tandon, and getting to know how Wanda might be involved in trapping the citizens here in Westview.

During the scene where the dog dies, the twins beg her mother to bring it back to life. We see some emotions coming into Wanda's face which might be the reason Quicksilver is back. Wanda might have thought about what the twins said about bringing dead back and as a result he brought his twin brother back. But it still doesn't answer why he was re-casted.

Also, Director Hayward does hold an important part in the show as we see him giving secret order of shooting Wanda through a drone which was supposed to be unarmed. Hayward does act suspicious and many of us think he might be involved in any evil actions and this recent scene sets it up.

And the commercial is about a paper towel named Lagos. Lagos is a name of a city mentioned in Captain America: Civil War and this city name has also connections with Falcon, Captain America, Crossbones in an alternate reality and also with the X-Men in another alternate reality.

Final Verdict

Marvel geeks love crossovers from other movies and this happened in this episode of WandaVision. The Quicksilver from X-Men, acting as the Quicksilver of MCU, was probably the most interesting and shocking part of the episode. Is the appearance of Evan Peters playing as Quicksilver the huge cameo star Elizabeth Olsen teased about, so is there something bigger? This episode is step towards the mystery solving of the show and is far more interesting than the show's other episodes. We are half-way through the series and this episode gave the fans what they want, a less sitcom vibes and more Marvel level plot twist.

Rating: 9/10

Marvel Studios has yet again kept us in a week of cliffhanger. Can Wanda control her pain and fear of Vision getting to know everything? Do you think Director Hayward has something to do with the mysteries of the show? What is he even up to? Is this the new Quicksilver or is he just a puppet of Wanda? Whatever it is, the way Marvel has gone with this episode, there is no going back.
