However, what was most interesting was that she seemed to be able to enter or alter Wanda’s mind and “broadcast” to her the “Agatha All Along” music video. Her manipulations that we see are relatively minor “tricks”, save her role in Pietro. To that point, the extent of her powers is also unclear. So perhaps Agatha’s true goal is to become more powerful in magic herself. In creating Pietro’s character, she clearly was interested in learning from Wanda how she created Westview. Given that several of the manipulations involve Vision, she could have some connection to S.W.O.R.D., but right now she seems to be very much her own entity of chaos. She even killed Sparky.įrom this, it’s unclear what Agatha Harkness’s goal in Westview is yet, or even how she came to be in Westview in the first place. Some are relatively benign, like intervening in the magic show from Episode 2, but they seem to progress thereafter and include creating or giving instructions to, the fake Pietro, who tried to ask too many questions, and manipulating Vision into trying to leave the Hex, which almost led to his demise. We get a montage of Agatha throughout the decades messing things up in the community. ![]() Wanda discovers the very creepy basement of, of course, a witch, where Agnes reveals that Wanda isn’t “the only magical gal in town” and that her name is actually Agatha Harkness. This, of course, leads to our big reveal that it was “Agatha All Along”. She tries to warn Wanda of Hayward, but Wanda still doesn’t trust Monica yet and the two almost go head to head before Agnes sweeps in to take Wanda to her home under the guise of taking care of her. All we have seen so far of the powers, though, are her altered vision of the energy space around her, and-essentially-her ability to take a hit. We get an Antman-like trippy sequence while she is inside the energy field, but it all leads to the spawning of Monica Rambeau’s powers when she makes it to the other side, without being subjected to the mind control. Undeterred, Monic decides to charge it on her own. She initially had a complex, armored vehicle to protect her, but it couldn’t get through the energy wall. Meanwhile, Monica decides to reenter the Hex. After he freed Darcy of the Hex’s mind control, she explains to him his origins and demises, something Vision seemed to be pleading for time and time again throughout the series. Vision himself gets some answers of his own. ![]() has some sort of plan in action that did not end up taking place in this episode. This explains why they were tracking Vision, not Wanda, inside the Hex, and certainly explains Hayward’s hostile motivations and reckless tactics toward Wanda. ![]() was actually trying to rebuild Vision’s body as a sentient weapon before Wanda stole it. The big secret Hayward had been hiding is that S.W.O.R.D. We also learn that Darcy made it through S.W.O.R.D.’s final firewall before she entered the Hex. It may or may not, however, be related to the big reveal at the end of the episode. We are perhaps seeing Wanda losing more control over her created reality, which is something that has been building each episode. At one point, the off-screen cameraman asks her, “Do you think it’s what you deserve?” Items around the house randomly change into different decades versions of themselves, and Wanda is confused by this and doesn’t seem entirely sure how to solve the problem. Her physical appearance is notably disheveled, and her interviews are more sad than funny, including her repeatedly assuring the cameras that she is fine. The guilt first mentioned last episode seems to bubble over here, and the mockumentary-styled sitcom aspect is the perfect light to show Wanda losing it. ![]() There are several references, including our commercial, to depression and needing to be left alone. Wanda is clearly feeling guilty-and almost hungover-over expanding the Hex the night before. Compared to last week, we are treated with much more of an “answers episode” in Episode 7, tying together a few loose ends, but also introducing and leaving wide open a new plot twist which suggests it has some future answers itself.
