These are just some samples of friendly spitballing from the WandaVision Slack channel. What "kind of show" will WandaVision turn out to be? Read on further for a few of the behind-the-scenes theories that have been bounced around at IGN this week. Will we get a happy ending or a tragic one? "It's not that kind of show," Wanda told Vision, post-Age of Ultron, when Vision worried about the fate of Bryan Cranston's dad on Malcom in the Middle. Next week's finale, which may run even longer than this chapter, will wrap up Wanda's story for now while also, hopefully, providing closure on Agatha, Vision, Hayward's new "Cataract" Vision, Monica's powers, and the Hex. "Previously On" was both a reflection on grief - and how it truly was Wanda's overwhelming pain that caused her to retreat into a sitcom realm and create a Vision modeled after Dick Van Dyke's Rob Petrie - and a rewarding "This is Your Life" flashback to scenes that only previously existed off-screen (as the MCU films were a bit too crowded to fully do justice to Wanda and Vision's story). But is that what her plan is for Wanda? Or Wanda's Hex spawn, Billy and Tommy? Right now she seems more interested in the origins of Wanda's witch powers (which were homegrown and actually amplified by the Mind Stone) and how Wanda might be the mythical "Scarlet Witch" from the supernatural lore of Agatha's Salem-centric world.
Agatha, a witch who was shunned and shamed hundreds of years ago by her coven (led by her own mother) for seeking forbidden knowledge, apparently feeds off the life force of other magical beings. This week, however, Wanda's control and creation of the Hex was reconfirmed as we discovered Agatha was merely an interloper, drawn to Wanda's power and secretly working to find out how and why Wanda's spell-casting skills were so powerful, and unlike anything she'd ever seen. In Episode 7, we learned that Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness, who'd been hiding in plain sight as neighbor Agnes, was working some evil witchcraft behind-the-scenes of Wanda's sitcom world. Yes, the office chat channels are absolutely flooded with theories, queries, speculation, and postulation about WandaVision's penultimate episode and what it all might mean for both next week's finale and the future of the MCU.
