Are you saying the universe created an ordinary sitcom starring two Avengers? In episode 4, we are brought back to the real world and they try harder to explain what is actually going on here.

Spoiler-filled review! For those who have already watched the fourth episode.

"WandaVision" is no longer just a fun (sometimes creepy) sitcom, but a story with real threats and problems. The latest episode brings back familiar heroes who try to solve the mystery of Westview, a connection to Captain Marvel, even more theories about the origin of the energy field, and the answer to the question "What happened to the Beekeeper?"

Hulk's Snap

What a surprise! "WandaVision" continues the Marvel Cinematic Universe by showing events after Hulk's snap. We are shown one of the truly moving moments — the return of people who suddenly disappeared several years ago. And the setting is a hospital. Of course, it doesn't go as joyfully and cheerfully as the return of beloved Marvel heroes in the final battle with Thanos. Here we see the chaos and panic that gripped the whole world (including being shown on local news).

Official Introduction of S.W.O.R.D.

So, welcome to the cinematic universe. We finally get to see S.W.O.R.D. headquarters and learn a bit about the history of this organization. It's cool that the center of their headquarters features a large emblem, just like the old S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

The Real Westview 2.0

This episode confirms that Westview is indeed a real town. Or it was. Now, it seems, no one remembers its existence. And previously, it was a location for someone in the FBI witness protection program.

Another crazy theory about the series title. WestView and WandaVision — the first letters of the titles completely match, as does the connection with the word "television," i.e., Wanda's television broadcast.

3 Weeks Later

In the new episode, we learn a bit more about the timeline of events. Three weeks have passed since the snap. That means Wanda took over the town during these three weeks, either on her own or under someone's influence.

What Does Captain Marvel Have to Do With It?

Although we already knew from the casting about the adult Monica Rambeau character, episode 4 officially confirmed it. She was the child in the film "Captain Marvel." And there are many interesting references associated with her. For example, the episode itself begins with a dialogue from the original film, where Carol Danvers talks to Monica and calls her "Lieutenant Trouble" or "problem" — translation difficulties.

Next, we learn that after the events of "Captain Marvel," Maria Rambeau became one of the founders of S.W.O.R.D., and this is likely related to the fact that she had already made contact with extraterrestrial life.

Also, during a dialogue with the new director, Monica mentions an "ally in space," hinting at Carol Danvers.

Another interesting detail — Monica appears to be the first person to cross the energy field boundary. Plus, we remember that Agnes doesn't know where Geraldine came from. Then she was thrown back through the field, and we can assume that the heroine was granted powers. After all, that's how it was in the comics: Monica Rambeau could control any form of energy.

Magic Tricks

A great and cute reference to the film "Ant-Man" in the form of a card trick. Jimmy Woo learned it from Scott Lang himself. In the series, he appears as an FBI agent looking for a missing person.

Helicopter 2.0

The mysterious toy helicopter from the second episode now has an origin — it was a S.W.O.R.D. drone. But it changed under the energy of the field around the town. Interestingly, the original drone's coloring matches Captain Marvel's costume.

And Here's Darcy

A fan favorite returns. Darcy is now a doctor of astrophysics, following in Jane's footsteps. She is the one who figures out the origin of the energy field and how to broadcast what's happening.

Infinity Stone

Darcy explained that the energy field resembles the energy after the Big Bang or from the Infinity Stones. After all, we know that Wanda's powers came from one of those stones. And that stone, in turn, originated after the Big Bang.

What's with the Hexagons!?

The answer to this mystery also bothers Jimmy Woo. Still unanswered.

Ubiquitous Comics

Each episode has many Easter eggs related to Marvel comics. Russian-speaking viewers are not very familiar with the originals, but if you Google it, you can figure everything out. So, the number on the cops' car is a reference to the comic issue number or the year when a certain comic series was released. Notably, in 1966, the organization of mad scientists AIM debuted in comics. Perhaps this is all a stretch, but the mysterious hexagons are a symbol of that organization. Plus, we already mentioned a possible reference to AIM in previous episode reviews.

Analyzing Jimmy Woo's Board

Let's start with what is written: amnesia radius — 5 km and in the shape of a HEXAGON, location — unknown, who is behind it — unknown. Is it aliens (Skrulls), a threat or not. Why hexagons everywhere, why a sitcom, is it the same time and space, is Vision alive, there are failed contact attempts. Phone lines, digital technology, and drones.

Sitcom Actor Names

In the town, there are real people who went missing. They have dossiers and personal ID passports prepared on the board. But none of these people are existing Marvel characters, except that some real names of the heroes are references to the creators of the Disney+ show itself.

But what attracts us in the list is that two characters are missing: Dottie and Agnes. So, Dottie has no profile. Possibly because Jimmy Woo hasn't seen the episode with Dottie yet. Or she is another mystery.

Agnes's card, about whom we constantly say she is a witch, is also missing. And another interesting detail — it is she who in every episode hints to Wanda about having children (listen to all her phrases). And she was also worried that Geraldine and Wanda were left alone. Could this have interfered with her plan? Another detail — the mention of Agnes's husband, whom she constantly talks about. But this husband has never been shown.

Radio 2.0

The voice on the radio was indeed the voice of agent Jimmy Woo. But the version of contact we saw in this episode differs from what was shown in the sitcom version.

Censorship

All of us while watching are a bit like Darcy and Jimmy, who also like us are watching the series about Wanda and Vision, looking for Easter eggs, information, answers, and discussing what's happening on screen over chips. BUT! Interestingly, they don't see everything that was shown to us. Their version has censorship: some moments are simply cut out, like Dottie and Wanda's reaction to the radio, Vision's reaction to the glitch and Geraldine's expulsion.

What Happened to the Beekeeper

The biggest question that has been tormenting fans since the beginning of the show. And it's always funny how they give us food for thought, throw in a strange beekeeper, over whom all fans build theories for two weeks. And he turns out to be an ordinary agent sent to the other side. And he is not a beekeeper at all, because his costume changed after crossing the energy field. Moreover, he did not fly out of the perimeter after Wanda's rewind, so fans are still worried about him.

Powers

Did you notice how Wanda reacted to using her own power? She is surprised or even scared. But then she seems to switch, and she declares: "I have everything under control."

Creepy Moment

There is a more eerie and serious question: is the dead Vision just a memory/visualization in Wanda's head, or at that moment did Wanda's illusion drop and we see a really dead Vision, i.e., the corpse of an android? Or did Wanda endow her illusion with the remaining data after uploading Vision's mind in Wakanda? Many questions, but no clear answers.

"It's All Wanda"

Actually, a frightening phrase. Now we understand the real threat coming from Wanda. It is she who does something to the people in Westview, distorting reality and choosing what and who exactly remains within the field. At the same time, Wanda herself also seems confused and does not fully understand what is happening here.

Important Song

It's funny that in each episode, English-speaking fans notice different songs referencing sitcoms or series events. But in this episode, I particularly liked the song Voodoo Child — a subtle hint at Vision's role in everything that's happening.
