WandaVision Episode 6 has just been released and it has set up the beginning of the end for this fantastic series. The Hex has expanded, Vision has seen 'What is outside of Westview' and somehow, Pietro knows all about Wanda's doings (and even has suggestions for her!). The whole SWORD base created outside Westview along with SWORD officials including Darcy Lewis has been swallowed by Wanda's magic, converted into a circus. The people who escaped (Captain Rambeau, Jimmy Woo, and maybe, maybe Tyler Hayward SWORD's leader) are the trapped people's only hope.
Let's see what happened in this episode...
The episode starts with a recap of Episode 5, with their dog Sparky, the two children growing up so fast, Vision and Wanda start fighting. The return of a 'recast' Pietro.
Now it's time for Halloween and Billy and Tommy are in a mood to celebrate. We see Billy walking in his costume. Obviously, this costume is the same one he wears in the comics when he takes up the name of Wiccan (The Young Avengers). We see the brothers having fun with their uncle Quicksilver. Wanda comes down in her costume, which her character has donned for a long time in the comics. Wanda says that her costume is that of a Sokovian Fortune Teller. Vision also wears his comic costume for Halloween.
In this episode, Vision is in investigatory mode. He makes up an excuse to go around Westview, find out what's what. Wanda accidentally blurts out "But you are not supposed to...". Vision takes advantage of the situation, confirming his suspicions, and intentionally goes out of his way. He does things Wanda would never have predicted and scoots off to the edges of Westview.
We also see the new family intro, showcasing each member of the family.
Meanwhile Quicksilver tries to be the cool uncle and smooth things between Wanda and Vision. He takes Tommy out for costume shopping. They both return in matching outfits and Tommy is seen wearing his Speed outfit (again taken from The Young Avengers). Quicksilver again provides us with some comic relief (which is the only thing he has been doing in this entire scene.)
We shift to a scene at the SWORD base, where Hayward and Monica are at odds. Rambeau is on Wanda's side but Hayward is against her and wants to destroy Wanda. Hayward takes a jab at Monica's skills and then fires her, Agent Woo, and Dr. Lewis. Due to his actions, the three start suspecting that Hayward is hiding something from them. So the three, while being thrown out, beat the SWORD agents unconscious and infiltrate SWORD, trying to find out Hayward's secrets.
All the people of Westview are celebrating Halloween, Wanda and her kids along with Pietro roam about. Then Pietro calls Tommy 'Demon Spawn', an odd thing to say. Maybe this is a hint that something devilish is coming. Only one demon comes to mind and that is Mephisto (or maybe I am overthinking things. I can't think of any other reason why this dialogue was said).
Pietro mentions Shangri La and how he would not want to remember his past if he found it. In the comics, Shangri La is a city supposedly ruled by Vision but directly interfering with Vision's first appearance on Earth in the Marvel 616 timeline. Only those who deserved found it and you had to go through a lot of hardships to find this marvel. (Also maybe there is a nod to Kick-Ass, the movie series starring the old Quicksilver actor. Maybe).
Wanda sees Herb and Herb tells her that Vision is not on any neighborhood watch and now she suspects Vision.
Vision is moving towards the boundary of Westview and he starts seeing strange happenings. People are repeating their actions without having a sense of what's around them. You can clearly see the pain the people are suffering at Wanda's hand. This episode showcases the advert for an edible product named Yo-Magic with its tagline 'The Snack for Survivors'. It again tells us, how the people are being acted on by Wanda's magic, how the people are under her control. We see Wanda and Pietro near a movie theater. We can see that The Incredibles and The Parent Trap being run in the theater. In real life, these movies were released nearly 6 years apart. Maybe these movies were chosen as another indicator of Wanda and Vision's current situation of Vision being the parent and being trapped in Westview. And how outside Westview, there was an argument over superheroes between Rambeau and Hayward.
For the first time, we see Tommy aka Speed showcasing unlocking his powers, the same as Quicksilver. The twins go away again, but Wanda tells them to not go past Ellis Avenue, where the boundary of Westview exists. Next, we see the three (Rambeau, Woo, and Lewis), breaking into the data center. Lewis hacks into the mainframe, and they find out that Hayward has got information signals from inside Westview. The signal is emitting from Vibranium decay and Vision has been pinpointed. They also notice that as you move near the outskirts of Westview, people stop moving. Wanda has concentrated her magic near the places where she lives and goes. She is not focusing on the other parts, where nobody goes. Vision sees Agnes in her car. He talks with her and finds out that she is lost. He can't believe that someone is lost in the town they grew up in. He releases her from Wanda's magic and she tells him that he is an Avenger. Vision does not remember his past so he is struck clueless. She asks him if she is dead, and also tells him that he is dead. Agnes also says that Wanda will never let the thought of leaving enter anyone's mind. After this, a confused Vision walks past Ellis Avenue. Even more, determined to find out the truth.
Monica gets a message that her truck will be ready in an hour. As they are planning to leave, Darcy decides to stay, trying to uncover the last and important SWORD secret. We cut to a scene of both the Maximoffs. Pietro asks Wanda, how she did it all Westview, mind-controlling people on a scale hitherto undreamt of. Even she does not know. She was feeling alone, a big darkness crept on her. This line is another pointer towards the idea of Mephisto. Mephisto's whole thing is souls. When Wanda was feeling low, extremely dark, and extremely vulnerable, Mephisto may have come and taken advantage of the situation brainwashing Wanda in the process.
Then as she saw Vision's corpse, she sees Pietro's corpse, riddled with bullets. A horrific image. We see Darcy searching through SWORD's files and Agent Jimmy Woo does not exist on those records (So is Agent Woo just Mephisto (or maybe Mystique #XMen) in disguise. What if Jimmy Woo was never assigned to the case.)
Vision proceeds to the boundary of Westview. He somehow manages to get out, but Wanda's magic is still pulling him. It is trying to rip him to shreds. Vision sees all the people. Darcy comes out and tries to help but she is arrested. Vision asks for help but gets naught. Wiccan unlocks his powers of telekinesis and telepathy. He sees his father in trouble and informs Wanda of this situation. Wanda sees this, uses all her power, and expands the Hex. It swallows the whole SWORD camp and all officials including Dr. Lewis, converting it into a circus. Only Woo, Rambeau, and Hayward along with his team escape this.
The episode ends here, setting up the major events for episode 7, which will begin with a truck ramming into the Hex.
So, this was all for WandaVision episode 6.
