WANDAVISION: 5 More Weird Signs Things Are Not As They Seem In Westview - SPOILERS

We're taking another look at today's episode of WandaVision, this time to examine five specific moments which once again point to everything not quite being as it seems in the idyllic town of Westview...

Well, that was quite an episode, eh? 

More madness ensued in today's instalment of WandaVision as the action moved to the 1970s, and Wanda Maximoff gave (very sudden) birth to her and Vision's twin boys: Billy and Tommy. 

That alone promises to be a game-changer for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but there were also even more compelling signs that not all is as it seems in Westview. In fact, this episode dropped some major hints about what might really be going on in the town, and there were definitely some sinister undertones. 

Here, we try to figure out what might be going on. Is the Scarlet Witch pulling Vision's strings, or is she also being controlled?

5. What's Wrong With Herb?

WV11233

We first met Herb during the second episode of WandaVision, and there was nothing particularly strange about him (well, aside from an aversion to mastication, perhaps). 

There's something very weird going on here, though, because while he's trimming the hedges, Herb starts cutting through the wall as well. Vision is perplexed, and when he points out that his neighbour has gone a little low, he acts like he's simply made a normal, everyday mistake.

This has to mean something, and we can't help but feel that Herb - forced into this twisted sitcom reality like everyone else in Westview - was trying to cut his way out of this reality.
 

4. Be Kind Rewind

32039203

When Vision comes back inside, he points out to Wanda that it feels like something strange is going on. She initially agrees (likely thinking he's referring to her pregnancy), but when he starts talking about some of the recent weirdness in the town - like dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Hart - his wife looks concerned.

With that, the scene skips back as if it's being rewound on a dodgy VHS player, and their conversation plays out very differently. Vision seems completely unaware of what's just happened.

The emergence of that beekeeper from the sewers last week saw Wanda react with a defiant "no" before time reversed itself, so we can't help but think the Scarlet Witch has some control over what's going on. Is she happy living in this sitcom setting alongside her fellow Avenger or under someone else's spell? 
 

3. HYDRA Soak

2392389

We get another commercial this week, and it's once again HYDRA-themed. We're pretty sure the villainous organisation never specialised in "luxury bath powder," but there are some intriguing hints here.

For starters, the tagline is "Find the Goddess Within." Prior to Avengers: Age of Ultron, Baron Von Strucker used the Mind Stone to unleash the powers within the Scarlet Witch; does this mean that whoever is pulling the strings views Wanda Maximoff as a "Goddess"? It's certainly pretty feasible. 

It still seems unlikely that HYDRA is playing a role in what's happening in Westview, but this is the second time they've been referenced, so it definitely feels like they're somehow important to this story.
 

2. Weird Whispers

WV1123

When Vision walks outside with the doctor following the birth of Billy and Tommy, the android learns that the physician has decided to cancel his holiday because, well, no one escapes a small town.

That alone makes it sound like he's an unwilling participant in whatever's happening, but before Vision can give it much thought, he notices an agitated Agnes whispering something to Herb. Listen carefully, and you'll hear them mention Geraldine, and both try to play it cool when Vision approaches them. 

It looks like Herb is going to tell the Avenger what's going on (and possibly that they're all trapped), but Agnes stops him, and they both soon return to their cheery, sitcom selves. Does anyone else think that perhaps everyone here has been "cast" in roles they're being forced to stick to?
 

1. Remember Ultron?

2382382

Talking to Geraldine after giving birth, Wanda reveals that, like Billy and Tommy, she's a twin. Unfortunately, her brother died, and it's then her friend appears to snap back to reality. Geraldine points out that he was killed by Ultron, and it really doesn't look like the Scarlet Witch wants to hear this.

She questions Geraldine about who she really is, but her friend can't remember, and the presence of a necklace bearing the S.W.O.R.D. logo seems to bother Wanda more than you might expect. 

The tension mounts, but by the time Vision comes back inside, Geraldine has gone, and a seemingly quite sinister Wanda claims that she's simply returned home (outside, Agnes mentioned that Geraldine doesn't have one). We then see "Geraldine" blasted out of an energy field surrounding Westview, only to be surrounded by S.W.O.R.D. agents...

@Waddles - don't be so hard on yourself. Making sarcastic comments on a fan site is totally comparable to directing a crossover of the 2 greatest cinematic monsters.

Now I'm wondering if Agnes was referring to Wanda as the devil from her ep 2 line

@braunermegda - I’m happy that we’ve kind of reached the limits of what we did know about the show, so where it goes from here can be a true surprise. Wanda has already given birth, so there’s really no telling where even the sitcom plots are heading from here.

@Chewtoy -
"reached the limits of what we did know about the show"
Eh, not really. We kinda know the structure until potentially Episode 6 where things get a bit less clear.

SPOILERS
Episode 4:
• 80's themed
• Agnes confronts Wanda
• They get a dog 'Sparky'
• 'Viv' might also be introduced

Episode 5:
• 90's themed
• Halloween Episode
• Classic costumes
• Reality begins to break, people freezing in place
• Vision returns to his normal appearance

Episode 6-9
• Episode 6 is 00's themed
• More focus will be spent on S.W.O.R.D
• We will see explanations for every incursion into Wanda's reality
• Wanda spends an entire episode talking to the camera
• Wanda & Vision fight against S.W.O.R.D for breaking her reality
• Etc...

Generally after Episode 5 we have a bunch of random segments of information, but its difficult placing them.

Also did Rambou not have any recollection of being sent in. I don't think she would have brought up Pietros death intentionally if she knew she was sent into Westview.

@MrCamw1 - that's when she momentarily snapped out of the "trance" she broke character then got back in character

@MrCamw1 - She probably thought bringing up a memory from her past hoping it may have snapped her out of whatever

@MrCamw1 - Did anyone notice Teyonah did the exact same breathing exercise Vision told Wanda to do even though there was no way she could've known about that?

MrCamw1 - 1/22/2021, 8:37 AM
@HornySpidey - I did but it slipped my mind to be honest. But since you brought it up makes me wonder if she's been watching them more than she already was

I disagree that herb acted like he made a normal mistake. He made a face as if he was trying to break character but couldn't, in my opinion.

Also, I think Agnes has some control here. Herb was trying his best to spill the beans when he broke character but Agnes was pushing him back in character the entire time. She was, seemingly, able to say whatever she wanted there, but Herb was not.

When they were whispering they were asking if Geraldine went in there. Agnes said "did she go in that house with Wanda?" my guess is that was also break in character to go in that house at that time, which also made Wanda break character as you saw her accent come back.

Agnes knew something would happen if someone went in there. I believe something had happened before
