So, Wandavision?

[Imaculata]

What I'm inclined to wonder is whether the Wanda who showed up in her red coat is not the same Wanda whom we saw chasing through the suburbs with Billy and Tommy. What if one of those Wandas -- the one who's reverted to her Sokovian accent -- is an illusion?

It seems unlikely to be an illusion. Remember, we first saw sitcom Wanda encounter the drone. While they were talking to Wanda, they lost control of it, and then outcomes Scarlet Witch to throw the drone at SWORD's feet. So that suggests they are the same physical Wanda.

However, I'm intrigued by the idea that Wanda is not consciously aware of what she does as her Scarlet Witch alias. The idea of a split personality has a lot going for it. Let me point out that this episode even specifically points out Wanda's alias in the dialogue, in a way that confused me. What was that all about? (EDIT: They seem to be indicating that Wanda is not Scarlet Witch in the MCU)

I fully expect the show to revisit Wanda's attack on SWORD's facility from a different angle. But if all things in West View are real and physical, but altered... what does this mean for the kids and the dog? And why did the dog die?

There's also the matter of the dog in the hydrangeas. Leaving aside how a dog showed up in the first place, did it really just wander off and get itself killed on day one?

I feel like Agnes was involved in Sparky's death, and maybe also in his existence in the first place. Possibly trying to push the twins toward maturity (she was also right there when they first 'levelled up') or trying to push Wanda into confronting her own grief.

Both times, actually. And that would have been the third.

Oh yeah, Agnes almost certainly killed that dog.

A better question might be: If Wanda can’t make matter from nothing (as suggested in the episode), where did the kids and dog come from? In the case of the kids, at least, we know they did come from nothing (material).

So, either Wanda can make matter out of nothing, or someone else did. Or at least helped.

Maybe the kids are fome an alternate reality like Pietro appears to be? Maybe Agnes or someone is pushing Wanda toward mucking about with reality?

Seems very possible.

In the comics, Vision had a dog named sparky that also dies eating poisonous flowers. So I think it was just a call out to that.

A call out? Sure. Just a call out? I doubt it.

I doubt that. The kids seem like they're different from Pietro. They can somehow control how fast they age (which Agnes seems to want to happen). I don't think they're from a different reality, as in a different world in the multiverse. I think they're from Wanda's reality, the Hex.

Remember the kids appeared to be ready to age themselves up, but Wanda was like No and then went into a speech about dealing with grief, which is pretty rich considering what's going on.

On a side note, the start date for Falcon and the Winter Soldier was announced today as March 19. Episode 9 of this series airs on March 5. But somewhere in all the press releases about the new shows, Disney stated there would be something new from Marvel every week on Disney+. Some time last month, one of the foreign Disney+ sites "accidentally" listed WandaVision as a 10-episode series. So there will be something extra on March 12, whether that is the actual finale episode or a prologue episode, is not known.
