"Okay, remember, everyone Thanossnapped away five years ago... You're just bringing them back to now, today. Don't change anything from the last five years."
The 35-year-old Jemma Simmons argues with Leo Fitz, saying D.I.A.N.A. was only supposed to make her forget his location, not this as well. Fitz says she has to forget so she can be strong to do what is necessary, and that she will not be upset because she will not know what she has forgotten, but Simmons says she will nonetheless feel the guilt inside for leaving a part of herself behind, torn away. She cries that she does not want to forget, and Fitz embraces and comforts her.[2][4][3]
Having been comforted to accept what she has to do, Simmons puts pillows and a duvet into the Containment Module for the final stages of the plan.[2][3]
Steve Rogers attends a therapy group with other Snap survivors. One of the members, Bobby, talks about how he has tackled the tough step of going on a date for the first time in 5 years. Rogers congratulates him and talks about the fact that they need to take baby steps to move on, something he himself struggled with after losing the love of his life in 1945, and states that they need to do something with their lives, otherwise Thanos might as well have killed them all.[5][6]
The security guard at the facility is surprised to see Lang on the security feed, and lets him out.[5][6]
After his release, Lang finds the city is mostly abandoned. He asks a passer-by what happened, but the boy does not respond.[5][6]
The Wall of the Vanished
Lang finds the Wall of the Vanished, a monument in San Francisco listing the local victims of the Snap 5 years earlier. Fearful for his daughter, he scans the monument for the Lang surname, only to instead find his own name, presumed dead due to his disappearance the same day as the event.[5][6]
Visiting his ex-wife's house, Scott Lang desperately rings the doorbell. Cassie, now 16 years old, comes to the door. Scott is stunned by her age, and Cassie is overwhelmed to find out her father is actually alive. They embrace.[5][6]
6th
"The federales found a room full of bodies, looks like a bunch of cartel guys - never even got a chance to get their guns out."
Carol Danvers pings Rocket Raccoon and Nebula about a suspect warship that they are closer to than her, asking her to investigate. The duo, however, find it to just be an infectious garbage scowl.[5][6]
Tremors in Africa are caused by a mild subduction under the African plate. Okoye goes to get readings on the tremors.[5][6]
At the New Avengers Facility, Natasha Romanoff conducts a meeting via hologram with Nebula, Rocket Raccoon, Okoye, Captain Marvel, and War Machine, getting updates about the status of the galaxy and Wakanda and its surrounding area. Okoye explains the tremors were just tremors, and there is nothing to be done about them. Danvers then explains that the kind of trouble Earth is going through is also occurring across many planets, so she is having to cover a lot of territory and may not be around for a while.[5][6]
The group all shut down their holograms save for Rhodes, who tells Romanoff that he is in Mexico that there has been a cartel massacre, and that the perpetrator was definitely Clint Barton - the latest in a series of attacks by him over the preceding few years. She sadly asks him to still keep looking for where he might be heading next.[5][6]
Steve Rogers arrives at the facility to check in on his friend. He admits that while he tells people they should move on, he cannot himself, and that he knows Romanoff cannot either. Romanoff tells her friend that the Avengers gave her a job and family that she did not have beforehand, and she was better for it, still trying now even though the group is gone to be better. Rogers notes they should probably both "get a life", but Romanoff sadly smiles, joking, "You first." They are interrupted by a call at the front gate, and when Romanoff answers, they find Scott Lang, announcing himself and saying he really needs to talk to them.[5][6]
Once Lang has been welcomed inside, he tells the duo that while he was gone for 5 years, he only experienced 5 hours in the Quantum Realm. He explains to them that the realm operates on its own, unpredictable rules of time, suggesting that if there were a way to navigate it temporally, it could potentially be exploited to effectively time travel to before Thanos' attack, opening a possibility of finding a way to reverse the Snap. Romanoff is willing to entertain the idea, and Lang asks who they need to talk to.[5][6]
Tony Stark goes to get his 4-year-old daughter, Morgan, from her tent outside his and Pepper Potts' home. He discovers Morgan has gone into the garage and taken a helmet from something he had made for her mother, and picks her up to take her inside for lunch. As he heads back, Steve Rogers, Scott Lang, and Natasha Romanoff arrive at the house.[5][6]
The group explain their proposal to Stark, but he explains that time travel is not navigable. Rogers points out the Infinity Stones are still around in the past, so they could get them, with Romanoff saying they could click their fingers themselves to bring the lost people back, Lang nicknaming the plan a "Time Heist". Stark worries they could just make things even worse, but when Rogers suggests they might not, Stark points out that there is still no logical, tangible way to safely execute the Time Heist. Lang thinks he can convince him so long as they follow the "rules of time travel", but Stark points out his idea is naively based on Back to the Future, which is not how quantum physics works. Lang angrily points out that many people, himself included, lost people who they care about, but Stark simply states that he cannot agree to help. Morgan comes back out and Tony tells the team that she already is his second chance.[5][6]
Smart Hulk helping in the streets of New York City
Hulk, now a merged version of himself retaining the green muscular form but Banner's intelligence and personality, saves a group of civilians from a burning building. He receives a call from Steve Rogers about experimenting with time travel.[5][6]
9th
Rogers, Lang, and Romanoff visit Hulk, meeting with him in a diner. Some children come over and take a photo with him, and Lang is disappointed when they are not interested in a photo with Ant-Man. When Rogers brings up the time travel possibility, Hulk is initially skeptical, but with Romanoff's encouragement, agrees to help them experiment with the idea.[5][6]
Tony Stark is washing dishes when he accidentally sprays a photo on his shelf. Wiping it clean, he finds it's a picture of himself with Peter Parker. The photo reminds him of what he lost, and he decides to give time travel theory a try.[5][6]
Tony Stark uses F.R.I.D.A.Y. to run different configurations for navigating time. He is shocked when one, revolving around an inverted Möbius strip, turns out to be feasible. Morgan interrupts him, and he takes her up to bed.[5][6]
As Morgan Stark is put to bed, she tells her father she loves him "three thousand".[5][6]
Talking to his wife, Tony Stark tells Potts that he figured out time travel, and does not know what to do. He suggests that he could just stop now, but Potts points out that stopping is not in his nature, and he would not be able to rest knowing he did not help.[5][6]
10th
Hulk, Romanoff, and Rogers set up their first time travel test, using the Quantum Tunnel in Luis' van. Hulk tries to send Scott Lang back in time, but instead pushes backwards time through Lang, ageing him backwards to a 12-year-old. In trying to fix it, he instead ages him to a 93-year-old, then back to a baby, before finally managing to return him to normal.[5][6]
Tony Stark returns to the New Avengers Facility, coming across Steve Rogers. He explains that he anticipated what happened to Lang, being the EPR paradox. He says that he wants to help now, but they must also keep what they have found for themselves in the years since the Snap. Tony takes the Captain America shield from his car boot, hand it back to Rogers the way his father once had, reminding him that Howard made it for him, and as a sign of their reconciliation. Rogers graciously accepts it, and says they are working on assembling the team.[5][6]
Hulk and Rocket fly the Benatar to Tønsberg, Norway, where they visit the "New Asgard" establishment the remainder of the Asgardians have set up to build their new lives. On arrival, Valkyrie greets them, but warns Thor will not be welcoming to them and only leaves his hut to get more beer for himself.[5][6]
The duo go to recruit Thor, finding him an obese, unkempt alcoholic, reduced in his depression to simply playing video games with Korg and Miek. They tell him they are working to fix what happened with Thanos, but the reminder upsets Thor, after having failed in 2018. Hulk reminds him that he helped him out of a bad place before and says they need him, eventually convincing him to come with them.[5][6]
Ronin has found a JapaneseYakuza leader, Akihiko, and has tracked him down to his stronghold in Tokyo. On arrival, the now merciless Barton kills every member of the Yakuza present.[5][6]
Barton comes face-to-face with Akihiko and engages him in a sword duel. He slices his gut, then his throat. As Akihiko kneels and begs for his life, Barton runs him through.[5][6]
Barton realizes Natasha Romanoff is behind him and turns to see his friend for the first time in 5 years. She informs him that the Avengers have a plan, and while he is reluctant to let himself have any hope, she takes his hand and convinces him to return with them.[5][6]
Scott Lang dons a newly-developed Advanced Tech Suit to trial time travel again, explaining that with Hank Pym dead, they only have enough Pym Particles for a round trip each and two test runs. He fumbles using one vial, and decides he is not ready. Barton volunteers to go instead.[5][6]
Barton dons the machine, and James Rhodes and Scott Lang ask Hulk why they cannot simply change time by killing a baby Thanos or stealing the Infinity Stones before Thanos can get them. Hulk explains, however, that you cannot just change your own past, and if you travel to the past, that simply puts your former present in your past, helping them to understand why it cannot simply be edited.[5][6]
Barton tests out the Quantum Tunnel for the group and enters the Quantum Realm, with the goal of exiting at his homestead in 2018, before his family was wiped out.[5][6]
Barton arrives back through the tunnel after his visit to 2018, still carrying a baseball mitt he picked up from his homestead in 2018. He informs the team that it worked.[5][6]
Steve Rogers and Tony Stark lead a meeting of the Avengers to discuss planning when and where to time travel to so as to retrieve the six Infinity Stones from history. They point out that the Infinity Stones are entwined with their history, so there are not many convenient places. They ask Thor for help regarding information on the Aether, but he has fallen asleep.[5][6]
Thor, now awake, starts to explain the Aether, but gets sidetracked, talking about how Jane Foster ended up picking up the liquid and taking her to Asgard, where she met Frigga. He becomes upset thinking about Frigga's death and breaking up with Foster, before Stark stops him.[5][6]
Nebula warns the Avengers that Thanos retrieved the Soul Stone from Vormir, a "dominion of death", and notes that she knows it is where Thanos murdered her sister.[5][6]
The Avengers contemplate the plan for the Time Heist
Steve Rogers announces to the Avengers that they now have a plan for their Time Heist, with three teams: New York for the Space, Mind, and Time Stones, Asgard for the Reality Stone, and Morag/Vormir for Power and Soul Stones. The team all take a look at the final plan.[5][6]
Tony Stark records a message for his family ahead of the Time Heist, in case something goes wrong.[6] He also prepares a note for Peter Parker, gifting him his E.D.I.T.H. artificial intelligence if he dies.[5][7]
All wearing Advanced Tech Suits, the Avengers stride to the new Quantum Tunnel. Steve Rogers gives them a pep talk and tells them to be careful and look each other, with the assurance that they will win, whatever it takes.[5][6]
Hulk prepares the Quantum Tunnel, and Clint Barton is given the shrunken-down Benatar to take with him on the mission, with Rocket making him promise to return it safely.[5][6]
They are split into three groups: Rogers, Stark, Lang, and Hulk for 2012, Thor and Rocket for 2013, and Barton, Romanoff, Rhodes, and Nebula for 2014. Hulk sets off the Quantum Tunnel, and Romanoff jokes, "See you in a minute." The Avengers' helmets go up, and they enter the Quantum Realm.[5][6]
Moments after leaving, the Avengers return, with one exception: Natasha Romanoff, having sacrificed herself for Clint Barton to retrieve the Soul Stone in 2014. Unbeknownst to the others, Nebula is actually the 2014 version still with intense loyalty to Thanos, who intercepted the 2023 Nebula in the past.[5][6]
Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Steve Rogers, Thor, and Hulk grieve Romanoff on a float just outside of the New Avengers Facility, as they come to terms with her death. Thor wants to use the Infinity Stones to bring Romanoff back, but Barton explains the everlasting nature the guardian of the stone told them about.[5][6]
Thor asks to be the one to snap his fingers with the Nano Gauntlet, desperate to do something right to make up for his mistakes. Stark tells him he is not in the right state, and Hulk explains that the radiation from the stones is mostly gamma, so given his gamma-based nature and strength, he is the most likely to survive.[5][6]
While the Avengers prepare, the 2014 Nebula, assumed by the others to be the 2023 Nebula they know, goes to execute her plan.[5][6]
Stark reminds Hulk that the only change to be made is to bring everyone who died in the Snap back in present day, without altering anything else about the last 5 years or the present. Banner dons the gauntlet, struggling with the power it surges into him, but coping.[5][6]
Nebula opens the gateway to the 2014 that the Time Heist left behind, allowing Thanos' flagship, the Sanctuary II, to be transported through.[5][6]
Despite significant damage to his right arm, Hulk manages to snap his fingers for the return of all life lost in the Snap in 2018. Stark cools his burned and wizened arm. Meanwhile, Scott Lang walks outside and notices the birds tweeting once again outside, just as Clint Barton's phone rings. Clint is overwhelmed when he finds out that the caller is his wife, and he takes the call from her, overjoyed to hear she is indeed alive once again. Lang tells the others he thinks it really worked.[5][6]
Before the Avengers can appreciate their success, the Sanctuary II suddenly bears down on the facility and fires a barrage of missiles. Lang shrinks down for safety and the facility begins to crumble, the other Avengers falling to the rubble of the foundations below. The facility is destroyed, along with the Quantum Tunnel.[5][6]
Hulk holds up rubble to protect War Machine and Rocket. Rhodes ejects out of his armor and crawls, without the support his mechanical legs provide for his paralysis, to help free Rocket as he struggles to breathe. The area starts to flood.[5][6]
Ant-Man hears Rhodes' calls on comms for help with the flood.[5][6]
Hawkeye struggles through the rubble, before finding the fallen Nano Gauntlet. He hears a noise from behind him and fires a flashlight arrow down the tunnel, illuminating Outriders crawling toward him. He picks up the gauntlet and runs.[5][6]
2014 Nebula reunites with 2014 Thanos, who thanks her. He asks her to find the stones for him, while he waits.[5][6]
2014 Gamora watches from the Sanctuary II, concerned. She turns to 2023 Nebula and asks what happened between them after 2014, and 2023 Nebula explains that despite their fights, they go on to be sisters. Gamora offers to help 2023 Nebula stop Thanos.[5][6]
Iron Man finds Captain America, unconscious in the rubble. He wakes him and gives him back his shield, saying that their messing with time has led to time retaliating.[5][6]
Iron Man and Captain America join Thor, who has been watching Thanos, and tells them the Titan has not moved. They accept that they are walking into a trap, but decide to attack nonetheless. Thor summons lightning, which changes him into armor and braided hair, as he brings both the 2013 Mjølnir and Stormbreaker to his hands.[5][6]
The trio walk to confront Thanos. Thanos thinks over his 2018 self's victory and the fact that people are not grateful for his actions, deciding he must wipe away the universe to be the creator of a new one that does not know loss or what it cost to come into existence. Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America charge him, each attacking together as Thanos fends them off.[5][6]
Rhodes and Rocket panic as the water fills up their underground area. Ant-Man, meanwhile, makes his way to them to help.[5][6]
Hawkeye runs from the Outrider horde through several towers, detonating an explosive arrow behind him to take out some of the aliens. He shoots a wire up a vertical tunnel, using his katana to cut away any aliens that jump after him, and getting to safety.[5][6]
At the top of the tunnel, Hawkeye is greeted by Nebula. Exhausted, he hands her the gauntlet, not knowing she is the 2014 Nebula, who contacts Thanos to say she has acquired the stones. Hawkeye panics, just as Gamora and the 2023 Nebula enter. Gamora holds a blaster to 2014 Nebula as she and 2023 Nebula try to convince her to change, having seen the potential she has to be better. 2014 Nebula forlornly says that Thanos would not let her and goes to blast Gamora, but 2023 Nebula shoots her first, killing her. Hawkeye retrieves the gauntlet.[5][6]
Iron Man has Thor charge him with lightning, like their first encounter in 2012, for a stronger attack on Thanos, but Thanos deflects the blast with his sword. Thor uses Stormbreaker to hit Mjølnir at the Titan, but Thanos uses Iron Man as a shield, the hammer instead knocking Stark out.[5][6]
Captain America attacks Thanos, only to be knocked aside. Thor dives and swings Stormbreaker at him, but Thanos disarms him, before kicking and pummeling him. When Thor tries to summon Stormbreaker, Thanos catches the weapon and starts to push it through Thor's breastplate.[5][6]
Captain America picks up Mjølnir, deemed worthy of wielding the enchanted weapon, and hurls it to knock Thanos off of his friend, before summoning it back to him. Thanos kicks Thor's head into a rock as Rogers attacks him, using the hammer and shield in tandem to knock him down, before summoning lightning with Mjølnir to strike the Titan.[5][6]
As Captain America attacks again, Thanos dodges, before slamming Rogers into the ground and stabbing his leg and punching the hammer from his grip. He proceeds to use his sword to cut pieces from the shield, otherwise indestructible to any Earth-based material. Rogers falls to the ground.[5][6]
Thanos mentions that while his previous conquests have been detached of emotion, he will enjoy annihilating Earth, as he calls forth the full force of his armies, who beam down to the ground. Despite being the only hero left in the way of Thanos and his army, Rogers, still resolute, straps what remains of his shield and walks to confront Thanos, the Black Order, and the hordes of aliens, in defiance.[5][6]
Thanos unleashes his army in response, and the clash of the Battle of Earth begins. Ant-Man punches a Leviathan to the ground, Black Panther fights Outriders, Drax stabs Cull Obsidian, and Stark and Potts fight back-to-back in their respective armors. Thor and Captain America accidentally switch weapons as they fight, and Thor has Rogers give back Stormbreaker, wanting the bigger weapon. Barnes and Rocket shoot their opponents.[5][6]
Cull Obsidian goes to stab Iron Man, but Spider-Man uses webs to restrain him, then Ant-Man steps on him. Parker and Stark reunite, and Stark hugs him, delighted to have him back.[5][6]
Star-Lord fights Sakaarans from Thanos' army. He is almost killed by one, but his attacker is shot in the back. Quill gets up to find the shooter to be Gamora. He is confused, not knowing she is not the Gamora he knew, so when he touches her, she knees and kicks him. She turns to Nebula, incredulous that the man before her is the one her other self fell in love with.[5][6]
Falcon kills a Chitauri Gorilla. Hawkeye runs with the Nano Gauntlet, and Hulk notes that they need to return them to where they came from to get them out of Thanos' reach forever. Stark points out the Quantum Tunnel has been destroyed, but Lang remembers Luis' Van has one. Valkyrie spots the van from above, and Lang and van Dyne go to get the van started.[5][6]
Iron Man goes to see Strange, saying this better be the 1 in 14 million eventuality where things turn out well, though Strange says he cannot confirm it or else it will not be.[5][6]
Lang and van Dyne find the van dead and realize they have to hot-wire it.[5][6]
Corvus Glaive informs Thanos that their Nebula is not responding. Ebony Maw spots Hawkeye running with the Nano Gauntlet and points him out.[5][6]
As Barton struggles transporting the gauntlet, T'Challa asks him to hand it over, remembering Barton's name from the Clash of the Avengers despite claiming not to care at the time. He takes it and runs, weathering the onslaught of attacks with the Panther Habit's kinetic energy absorption, but being knocked over when Thanos throws his sword at him.[5][6]
Before Thanos can go for the gauntlet, Scarlet Witch lands in front of him. She says that he took everything from her. The 2014 Thanos notes he does not know her, but she attacks, telekinetically throwing boulders at him.[5][6]
As Black Panther attempts to retrieve the gauntlet, Ebony Maw magically lifts a rock that it is positioned upon up out of the ground, trying to get it out of his reach. He retrieves it, but struggles, so Spider-Man swings over and takes it, then activating "Instant Kill Mode" to fend off oncoming Outriders.[5][6]
Thanos attempts to push his sword toward Maximoff, but she telekinetically blocks him, then raises him up in the air as she tears his armor from his body. Thanos panics and orders an air strike, despite the risk to his own troops.[5][6]
Wong leads the sorcerers in casting magical shields from the missiles. Meanwhile, missile strikes at the river border cause the start of a flood, and Doctor Strange goes to magically keep it at bay.[5][6]
Parker is overrun by Outriders and calls for help. Captain America throws Mjølnir over his fellow New Yorker, allowing him to web onto it and be carried away. Potts then catches him and throws him up onto Aragorn to fly with Valkyrie. However, Aragorn is struck by a missile and Parker falls to the ground, then struggling for shelter as the missile fire becomes too intense.[5][6]
The Avengers all dive for cover as the missiles rain down. Rocket Raccoon clutches to Groot protectively. However, the firing suddenly stops as the ship's blasters turn upward. F.R.I.D.A.Y. informs Stark that something has entered the upper atmosphere, as Captain Marvel comes down from the sky, having arrived to help, barreling through the Sanctuary II and destroying it, to Thanos' dismay.[5][6]
Lang manages to start up the van Quantum Tunnel.[5][6]
Danvers flies down to Parker so she can protect the gauntlet. He notes that Thanos has a whole army in the way of the van, but with Valkyrie and Aragorn overhead, Maximoff and Okoye catch up with them and note Danvers has help. Potts flies over, Mantis and Shuri walk to join them, Wasp flies over to assist, and Gamora and Nebula get to the group. The women advance as a unit, their joined forces weakening the path for Danvers. Maximoff telekinetically takes down a Leviathan, while Valkyrie flies and cuts through another.[5][6]
Danvers flies through toward the van. Thanos goes to stop her, but Potts, Shuri, and Wasp blast him together to clear her way. Danvers gets past him, but just before reaching the van, Thanos throws his sword into the vehicle, destroying it, with the blast knocking Danvers back and making her drop the gauntlet.[5][6]
The Avengers do all they can to stop Thanos from getting the Nano Gauntlet, but Thanos swats Iron Man aside and manages to headbutt Thor and slam Captain America into the ground. Captain Marvel flies back in, but he swings her off him and dons the gauntlet. Before he can let the power of it sink in, Danvers returns and grabs his hand to keep it open, and when he tries to headbutt her, she is impervious. However, as she starts to overpower him, Thanos removes the Power Stone and uses its raw energy to punch her with a concussive blast.[5][6]
Doctor Strange gestures to Stark that they are in the deciding moments for the one winning outcome, and Stark has a realization. As the Titan replaces the Power Stone and embraces the gauntlet's power again, Stark grabs the gauntlet to try to stop him. Thanos bats him aside and announces himself as inevitable as he goes to finally snap his fingers, but when he does so, he finds the gauntlet ineffective. He is stunned to discover it is empty, and turns to see Stark revealing he has used his nanotech to steal the Infinity Stones. Stark takes on the power of the stones and retorts, "I am Iron Man," before snapping his fingers.[5][6]
As Stark's will dictated when snapping his fingers, Thanos' forces begin to crumble to dust, the way half the population had 5 years prior. Thanos looks upon his defeat in dismay, before sitting down to embrace his end, as he, too, crumbles away, blowing into the wind.[5][6]
His body burned and wrecked, Stark falls to the ground, struggling to breathe. James Rhodes lands by him and caresses his dying friend's face. Peter Parker swings over, trying to talk to Stark and tell him they have won. Stark is unresponsive, and Parker starts to cry. Finally, Pepper Potts arrives, crouching to talk to him. Stark manages to mutter a recognition to her, and after F.R.I.D.A.Y. confirms to Potts that her husband is dying, she assures him that he has saved them, and he can finally rest peacefully. Potts cries herself, holding her hand on Stark's heart as the arc reactor fades, and Tony Stark dies. Captain America and Thor look on mournfully as Potts kisses him one last time.[5][6]
18th
Clint Barton returns home and embraces his family, restored to life.[5][6]
Following the Avengers' victory, Wakanda holds a celebration for the return of many victims of Thanos' Snap, including their royal family. The capital city is aglow with lights, festival music, and people filling the streets with cheer.[5][6]
29th
Before Tony Stark's funeral, Happy Hogan, Pepper Potts, Morgan, and James Rhodes watch a hologram message left by Tony from the day before the Time Heist, recorded in the event that something might go wrong. In it, Tony talks about his hope that the world can be restored to some sense of normality. He ruminates on the incredible expanse of the universe he has come to discover over the years, and says that he feels things will work out as they are supposed to, finishing by reminding Morgan, "I love you 3000."[5][6]
After people begin to disband, Clint Barton stands with Wanda Maximoff by the lake. He tells her he wishes he could let Natasha Romanoff know that they won. Maximoff says she is certain that both Romanoff and her beloved Vision know, wherever they are. The friends embrace to support each other.[5][6]
Happy Hogan sits with Morgan Stark, who tells him she wants cheeseburgers. This moves Hogan, who recalls how much her father had loved them, promising to buy her some.[5][6]
Inside the ship, Thor starts swiping for destination choices, which aggravates Quill, who insists he is still very much the captain. Thor claims to agree, but continues to take charge. Drax recommends they fight, and the pair start tensely laughing at the situation. Thor assures Quill he is in charge, but gives him a threatening look.[5][6]
Hulk reminds Captain America to return all the Infinity Stones to the moment they were taken so as to clip all their branches. He forlornly tells Rogers he tried with the Infinity Gauntlet to bring back Romanoff, and that he misses her, which Rogers says he does as well.[5][6]
Sam Wilson offers to join Rogers, but Rogers tells him this is up to him. He embraces Barnes, who says he will miss him, knowing what Rogers plans to do. Rogers steps onto the newly built Quantum Tunnel with the stones and Mjølnir. However, he does not return to the tunnel when Hulk tries to bring him back, having traveled back to 1949[9] after his mission and decided to stay there to finally come home from war and spend the rest of his life with Peggy Carter.[5][6]
Barnes and Wilson notice an old man sitting ahead by the lake. Encouraged by Barnes, Wilson approaches him, realizing that he is an elderly Steve Rogers, now biologically 112[9], having lived a full life. Rogers says his life was beautiful, and Wilson says he is happy, but will miss Captain America. Rogers reveals a now intact shield, removing it from its casing and passing it to Wilson. When Wilson notes that it feels like someone else's, Rogers says that it is not. Honored, Wilson thanks his friend and assures him he will do his best, which Rogers tells him is why he chose him. When Wilson notices Rogers has a wedding ring, he enquires about Rogers' wife, but Rogers decides to keep the special life he lived private.[5][6]
31st
Security footage of Wanda Maximoff destroying the observatory glass at S.W.O.R.D. HQ
Wanda Maximoff visits S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters to retrieve Vision's corpse with the intent of giving him a proper burial. She sees one of the receptionists in the facility and tells him that she wants to see Vision since he was gone when she was brought back. With the approval from Tyler Hayward himself, Maximoff proceeds forward and meets the Director in his office. Hayward presents her Vision, who is being broken down and torn apart by engineers, saying that it is S.W.O.R.D.'s legal obligation to do so and that Vision did not belong to her. Enraged, Maximoff destroys the observatory glass and goes to examine Vision's corpse itself, but says that she cannot feel him anymore. She leaves the headquarters, alone and depressed. Hayward would later use the security footage to falsely claim that Wanda stole Vision's body and resurrected him in order to keep the restoration of Vision's body a secret.[10][11]
Wanda Maximoff goes to Westview, New Jersey, observing the citizens of the town as she drives by. She reaches her and Vision's planned estate, which had been demolished. Looking at her property deed, written "to grow old in", Maximoff breaks down and releases her Chaos Magic, restoring her estate and affecting Westview entirely, transforming the town into a 1950s TV show aesthetic. Maximoff then fully creates her own version of Vision, who greets her and shares a chaste kiss with her.[5][10]
Immediately after Maximoff creates the Hex, Agatha Harkness senses the afterglow of multiple spells in play all at once. This fascinates her so she decides to go undercover as "Agnes" and investigate while trying to get Wanda to show her true self.[5][10][12]
A man placed in Witness Protection at Westview suddenly goes missing as people forget the town exists. FBI agent Jimmy Woo is tasked with investigating the case. Woo tries contacting known associates and relatives, but to his surprise, none of them have even heard of this person. So Woo takes the first flight out of Oakland to try to interface with local law enforcement until he encounters a new wrinkle.[5][8]
Monica Rambeau returns to work at S.W.O.R.D. around 3 weeks after being resurrected in the Blip to meet with Tyler Hayward and attempts to use her outdated employee ID card to enter. When a security guard begins to question her, he is interrupted by Hayward himself who Monica refers to as "Director Hayward", but he corrects her as he is technically the Acting Director for now.[5][8]
Hayward subsequently catches Rambeau up on everything she’s missed in the past five years and Monica asks about the "Astronaut Training Program" to which Hayward explains that they’ve mostly moved to unmanned missions and shows Rambeau an arsenal of robotics, nanotech and other types of “Sentient Weapons”. Nevertheless, Rambeau passively objects, pointing out that the O and R in S.W.O.R.D. stand for observation and response, not creation. Hayward explains that space is now full of “unexpected threats” to which Rambeau assures him that it “always was full of threats and allies”.[5][8]
As they arrive at Hayward's office, Hayward points out how Rambeau’s mother helped build S.W.O.R.D. from the ground up and that she should have been here to name Maria’s replacement after she died. Rambeau tells Hayward he was the obvious choice and they move on to getting Rambeau her next assignment. Rambeau is then tasked to help the FBI with a missing persons case at Westview and to chaperone a S.W.O.R.D. Drone. Rambeau objects, letting Hayward know she’s ready to get back to work. Hayward admits she’s being “grounded” and limited to terrestrial missions per her mother’s protocols. Reluctantly, Rambeau accepts the mission.[5][8]
Upon arriving at Westview, Rambeau meets Woo, who explains the peculiar circumstance of this case and that the past associates of the missing person in the witness protection program have no memory of him existing. Not only that, but no one remembers that the town even exists. He also introduces Rambeau to the local sheriff, who claims the town of Westview doesn’t actually exist. Woo explains to Rambeau that he’s tried contacting all of the residents of Westview but has had no luck. He says they are no longer dealing with a case of a missing person, but rather a missing town. When she asks why he has not gone into town to investigate, he explains that the town doesn't want to be investigated.[5][8]
Rambeau takes out the drone from her truck and starts flying it toward the town as she questions Woo as to why they appear to be aware of Westview while anyone with a personal connection to it is not. She then notices some interference on the feed from the drone and looks up to see that it has disappeared. As she gets closer to investigate, she notices an energy field around the town. She reaches out to touch it and gets pulled into the town, disappearing in front of Woo’s eyes.[5][8]
24 hours after Rambeau's disappearance, Darcy Lewis, along with other scientists, arrives at the response base with the realization that S.W.O.R.D. clearly has no idea what kind of threat they’re dealing with. The agents, upon arrival, lead Lewis to a lab as she watches a drone get sent into the town and disappears. She asks agent Monti what kind of data were they getting but is told that is highly classified. After pointing out that she saw the Army, the FBI, and others while looking forward to the commemorative T-shirt, Lewis asks if she can get a cup of coffee.[5][8]
Inside Westview, Wanda Maximoff uses her powers to clean dishes and put them away. Vision enters the kitchen as Maximoff is putting a plate away causing it to break. Maximoff fixes it and puts it away, offering Vision a large breakfast, to which Vision responds that he cannot eat. Vision notices a heart above the date on their calendar and asks Maximoff its significance, and they each pretend to know even though they do not. Maximoff reminds Vision to disguise himself as human, and Vision blows Maximoff a kiss before leaving for work.[13][5]
Maximoff struggles to remember the significance of the date, when "Agnes," Maximoff's neighbor, knocks on the door. Harkness comments on how fast Maximoff moved in, and then asks why she moved in despite being single. Maximoff tells "Agnes" that she is in fact married and that she and her husband have a special night. "Agnes" asks what they are celebrating, and Maximoff decides to agree it's an anniversary when "Agnes" asks. "Agnes" leaves to get materials for Maximoff to help her plan their anniversary dinner.[13][5]
Lewis quickly finds a colossal amount of Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation readings, as well as some other findings. She plugs her equipment into an old Physio-Scope and gets an image from inside Westview. This prompts her to request an old television set.[5][8]
Vision typing as Norm is fascinated by how fast he works
At Computational Services Inc. Headquarters, Vision finishes the work which "Norm" asked him to complete. Norm comments on Vision's speed, and notices that something appears to be bothering Vision. Vision asks what the company does, and "Norm" simply replies that their productivity at making computational forms has increased substantially, comparing him to a walking computer, prompting Vision to get defensive. Vision confides in "Norm" about not remembering the significance of the day, when their boss, "Arthur Hart," comes out and reminds Vision that they are having dinner that evening. "Hart" explains to vision that "Phil Jones" was fired for an unsatisfactory dinner, and threatens Vision with the same fate.[13][5]
Maximoff and "Agnes" plan the night, and "Agnes" says she'll loan Maximoff some records. "Agnes" mentions seduction techniques, and despite insisting that she has them, Maximoff asks "Agnes" what her magazine says about them. "Agnes" reads the section, but gets interrupted when Vision calls, attempting to tell Maximoff about the importance of the night. Maximoff, still believing it to be an anniversary dinner, assures Vision that everything is under control. Vision tells Maximoff how nervous he is, and that they should try to impress "Hart's" wife, but Maximoff mistakes it for flirting, so she suggests impressing the husband. Vision, reassured, hangs up.[13][5]
A commercial for the ToastMate 2000 airs on the broadcast of Maximoff's sitcom.[13][5]
Vision brings "Hart" and his wife to his and Maximoff's house. They find a candlelit setup, and Vision rushes to find Maximoff. He goes into the kitchen, while Maximoff approaches "Arthur Hart" from behind, mistaking him for Vision, covers his eyes and asks him to guess who it is. Vision turns the lights on and Maximoff realizes her mistake, quickly covering up her flirtatious dress. Vision says that it is a Sokovian greeting.[13][5]
Maximoff goes into the kitchen and clear up the misunderstanding about the purpose of the dinner, and Maximoff changes her dress using magic and calls "Agnes" for help.[13][5]
Vision talks to "Arthur" and "Mrs. Hart," as "Arthur" suggests orienting their forms horizontally to use more paper and charge more. Vision asks the purpose of their company gives, and "Arthur" gives vague answers.[13][5]
"Agnes" brings a gourmet meal to Maximoff, who thanks her. "Agnes" accidentally knocks over a pot, prompting "Mrs. Hart" to offer help, but Vision insists that Maximoff can handle cooking. Maximoff asks "Agnes" to leave, and "Agnes" tells Maximoff what she'll be making before leaving. Maximoff uses her magic to start preparing dinner.[13][5]
"Mrs. Hart" hears a ruckus from the kitchen and goes to help Maximoff, opening the windows to the kitchen, but Vision stops her by singing Yakety Yak before "Mrs. Hart" can see what Maximoff is doing. Maximoff closes the window and Vision suggests a sing-a-long.[13][5]
In the evening, Hayward sends agent Franklin, who is already in a hazmat suit, into the sewers to find anything on Rambeau and explains to him that the sewer system will lead him into the town. Hayward then tells the other agents, who are in charge of the tether tied around him, to keep him posted if anything happens to him. Woo tells Hayward he's not confident in this mission.[5][8]
Maximoff uses her magic to cook a chicken, overcooking it. She attempts to reverse it, turning it into a basket of eggs.[13][5]
Maximoff's magic starts to get out of control. While looking for the main course, Maximoff shouts "Diane!," prompting Vision to pretend it is a pet name for her. Vision runs into the kitchen and offers help as Maximoff is making lobsters float, and Maximoff gets scared and accidentally sends the lobsters flying out the window.[13][5]
Back inside the base, Woo warns Hayward that he is worried the energy perimeter will extend into the sewers and that they do not know enough about this threat to send in a second agent when Rambeau has not yet returned. As Hayward demands a visual of the town from his agents, he hears laughter in the distance. As he looks for the source of the sound, he discovers Lewis is watching a sitcom on an old TV. Woo questions who is on the screen and Darcy points out that “it looks like her”. Darcy then questions whether or not Vision is supposed to be dead. Hayward subsequently asks where the signal is coming from and Lewis tells him it is coming from inside the town.[5][8]
Maximoff asks Vision to prepare the steak while she goes out and talks to "Arthur" and "Mrs. Hart." Maximoff attempts to distract the "Harts" from Vision tenderizing the meat by falling into "Arthur's" arms, when "Agnes" knocks on the door, giving Maximoff a pineapple for her cake.[13][5]
As the broadcast shows "Agnes" arriving at the Vision Residence with a pineapple, Hayward asks Lewis if the broadcast was authentic, live, recorded, and if it was fabricated. Lewis says that she doesn't know and explains her discovery from earlier and that the broadcast frequency was entwined with the CMBR readings. Just as Wanda serves dinner to Vision's boss, Woo questions if the universe created a sitcom starring two Avengers but all that Lewis can tell him is that it is a working theory. Hayward orders his team to start analyzing the footage.[5][8]
Maximoff returns to the kitchen and Vision suggests they play a game, when "Mrs. Hart" says that her head is spinning. "Arthur" gets upset as Maximoff uses her magic to set up a dinner behind him as "Arthur" is at first upset about breakfast for dinner, but "Mrs. Hart" cuts him off.[5][13]
Vision, Maximoff, and the "Harts" sit around the table and toast to the "Harts." They sit down to eat as "Mrs. Hart" starts asking Maximoff and Vision about their past, they find themselves unable to answer the questions. "Arthur" gets frustrated with the lack of answer as they continue to struggle. As "Arthur" demands to know why they are here, he starts choking. "Mrs. Hart" starts telling him to stop it repeatedly, eventually directing it to Maximoff as "Arthur" continues to choke. "Arthur" falls on the floor, and Maximoff eventually tells Vision to save "Arthur," which he does.[5][13]
Vision helps "Arthur" back to his feet. "Arthur" looks at his watch, and realizes it is time to leave. "Mrs. Hart" covers Maximoff's eyes and announces her intent to leave. Maximoff thanks the "Harts" for coming, and "Arthur" says that he is proud at Vision, offering him a promotion. Maximoff opens the door for them, finding one of the lobsters stuck to the door, which "Mrs. Hart" confuses for a door knocker before leaving.[5][13]
Vision returns to his android appearance, as Maximoff comments on how unusual of a couple they are. They sit on the couch as Maximoff points out that they do not have an anniversary, a song, or wedding rings. Vision decides that it is their anniversary, and they agree that Yakety Yak would be their song. Maximoff uses her magic to create wedding rings for them. The couple kiss.[5][13]
As the credits in the sitcom roll, Lewis finishes writing her notes, closing her notebook.[5][13][8]
Later, Woo sets up a board for all the information they can gather on the citizens inside Westview. He points out that they have identified Wanda Maximoff and Vision and puts their photos on the board. Woo mentions in his writing on the white board questions the recurring presence of hexagons in the sitcom, along with asking other questions added by him later, which include: “Why sitcoms?” and “Is Vision alive?”[5][8]
Later on, as they continue analyzing the footage, Lewis notices Rambeau sitting on a bench during a scene within the sitcom and is surprised by this. She asks Woo if Rambeau seemed 'okay' to him, which he replies she doesn't appear to be harmed in any way and that she wasn't the boss lady he met yesterday. Lewis assumes that Rambeau has to play along with the sitcom while Woo asks if the sitcom was an alternate reality, if it was involved with time travel, or if it was "some cockamamie social experiment". Lewis reminds him that it's a 1950s sitcom to which he replies with "But why?" Lewis tells Woo that she has an idea.[5][8]
Maximoff is woken up in "the middle of the night" by a noise form outside her room. She turns the light each time thunder occurs, waking Vision. He checks outside and sees nothing, but hears a loud noise when reassuring her, scaring him as he rushes back into bed.[5][14]
Vision mentions that he had heard about bad people moving in, suggesting they are doing bad things. Maximoff suggests that the rumors were simply about herself and Vision, when another loud noise happens, scaring them both. Maximoff moves their separate beds together, opens the curtains, finding ti was simply a branch hitting the window. Maximoff and Vision decide they like their beds closer together, so Maximoff combines them into one bed and they sleep together.[5][14]
A theme song airs on the broadcast of the WandaVision sitcom.[5][14]
Vision and Maximoff practice their magic act for the upcoming Westview Talent Show. Vision notices the intricacy of their Cabinet of Mysteries, asking whether the other acts are as elaborate, and Maximoff explains that they are. They continue to practice the act and are successful, but Vision is underwhelmed.[5][14]
Vision suggests that the town would see through the trick, and Maximoff explains that real magic acts use fake magic. Maximoff explains that it is their neighborly duty to participate in the talent show in order to fit in. Vision comforts her, and Maximoff says that she has to go to the meeting for the planning committee. Vision tells Maximoff that he is going to the Westview Neighborhood Watch meeting. Vision leaves while Maximoff prepares.[5][14]
Maximoff does housework when she hears a loud sound from outside. She finds a S.W.O.R.D. Drone, which had turned into a red helicopter. She picks it up and studies, but is interrupted by "Agnes," who has come to drop off her pet rabbit for the magic act.[5][14]
While Maximoff puts the rabbit inside her house, "Dennis the Mailman" walks by. "Agnes" and "Dennis" greet each other and exchange banter. Maximoff returns as she and "Agnes" go to "Dottie Jones'" house for the planning committee meeting for the talent show.[5][14]
"Agnes" advises Maximoff to be nice to "Jones" to make her life easier. Maximoff suggests being herself, but "Agnes" laughs. "Jones" comes outside with the rest of the committee and greets the pair, who join the group.[5][14]
Outside, Lewis explains to Woo that she might be able to shoot a signal to the radio on Wanda’s kitchen counter and speak with her, considering that this only happens once per episode. Shortly After, an agent brings Woo an image of the now transformed drone, which is a red toy helicopter that had landed in Maximoff's bush from the episode that aired "two minutes ago". Lewis and Woo question why the design was changed and why did the agent colorized it, to which the agent says she didn't. Lewis decides to move on with her theory.[8]
The Westview Rotary Club nears completion on the stage set-up for the talent show.[5][14]
The planning committee arrives at Westview Pool Club and discuss the setup for the talent show. Maximoff imitates "Jones" as "Beverly" reports on the progress. "Jones" asks about whether chairs were set up, and she says that she did not ask about them. "Jones" says that "Beverly" should not chair any committees, upsetting Maximoff.[5][14]
Jones talks to the group as "Agnes" offers "Beverly" alcohol. A woman compliments Maximoff's pants, and Maximoff responds, prompting a rude response from "Jones." "Jones" says that the fundraiser is for the children, as the entire group besides Maximoff says "For the children" in unison. Maximoff says it after, causing everyone to look at her.[5][14]
"Jones" begins to discuss etiquette as Maximoff introduces herself to the woman next to her, who introduces herself as "Geraldine." "Jones" gets annoyed and reports that tickets for the talent show are completely sold out. The group applaud for themselves, and "Agnes" wonders allowed how any of them are sober.[5][14]
Lewis and Woo begin trying to reach Maximoff on the radio when Lewis notices Rambeau is talking to Maximoff. During the scene, Lewis tells Woo that Maximoff is at "some sort of swim club" and that they've never been there before. She then sees a radio at Dottie's meeting and tells Woo to start talking.[5][8]
Vision arrives at the Westview Public Library, where the Neighborhood Watch is meeting. He joins the group, who are at first awkward around him. Vision starts asking questions when "Herb" says that they were about to start new business, but "Norm" tells him they are simply about to have more snacks. Vision turns down the offer of the danishes.[5][14]
"Herb" and "Norm" spread gossip. Vision says that "Norm" is a Communist, wanting to share gossip as well, and the group laughs. "Norm" says that he used to think of Vision as boring, and "Herb" offers him gum, and Vision accepts it. He chews the gum, but "Herb" slaps his back while laughing, causing Vision to accidentally swallow the gum, which slows his gears. Vision realizes what happened while "Herb" resumes gossiping.[5][14]
Maximoff cleans up as "Jones" advises her on planning. Maximoff attempts to correct her first impression, but "Jones" begins saying that she has heard things about Maximoff and her husband. Maximoff assures "Jones" that she means no harm, but "Jones" says that she does not believe her.[5][14]
Maximoff and "Jones" turns their attention to the radio as Jimmy Woo tries to call out to Maximoff
Maximoff starts to hear Woo's voice through the radio, prompting "Jones" to ask who it is and who Maximoff is. The voice asks who is hurting Maximoff, when the radio short circuits and a glass breaks in "Jones'" hand, causing her to bleed.[5][14]
Maximoff gets "Jones" a towel to cover the wound, as "Jones" suddenly acts as though nothing strange has happened, saying that a housewife cleans a bloodstain by doing it herself. Jones walks away, leaving Maximoff confused.[5][14]
As Woo tries to continue to reach out to Maximoff, the broadcast suddenly jump-cuts ahead, which confuses Lewis. Lewis tells Woo that it didn't work and that this was a mission failure. Woo says it was worth a try and tells her it was good effort. As Lewis tells Woo to come back inside, Woo looks at the Hex barrier one more time before going in.[5][8]
A pair of tap dancers performs in the talent show.[5][14]
Four performers, one dressed as a cowboy, one as a cowgirl, and two as a horse, perform in the Talent Show while "Phil Jones" accompanies them on piano.[5][14]
"Geraldine" comforts Maximoff through her nervousness. Maximoff expresses her lack of knowledge of where Vision is, when he arrives, behaving strangely due to the gum in his gears. Vision tells Maximoff that he and the Neighborhood Watch were playing Horseshoes, and Maximoff attempts to tell Vision what happened at the planning committee. Although Vision is acting strangely, "Geraldine" tells Maximoff and Vision that they are about to perform.[5][14]
"Dottie Jones" thanks the audience for coming to support the children, introducing Maximoff and Vision as the final act. Maximoff introduces Vision, who does not come out as he is busy fixing his shirt. "Geraldine" reminds him to go on. Vision introduces the magic act as lies which they will believe.[5][14]
Vision, wanting to impress them, starts flying, causing whispers among the crows. Maximoff attaches Vision to a rope, easing the audience's nerves. Maximoff lowers Vision, who lifts "Jones'" piano with one hand. Maximoff accidentally turns the piano into a piece of cardboard, again putting the audience at ease.[5][14]
Vision sees "Herb" in the crowd and approaches him, having him pick a card. Vision attempts to show "Herb" his card, but fails to draw the correct card multiple times. Vision goes through the entire deck, before finally drawing "Herb's" card. Vision begins a next trick as "Agnes'" rabbit runs outside of the hat.[5][14]
Unable to pull the rabbit out of the hat, Vision resolves to use his abilities to push the hat through his own body. The audience gets tense, as Maximoff puts mirrors behind the curtain. "Beverly" questions if that is how mirrors work, but "Jones" tells her to shut up.[5][14]
Maximoff brings out the Cabinet of Mysteries as Vision introduces it, announcing his intention to make Maximoff disappear. Vision attempts the trick before Maximoff can enter the box, causing the audience to believe something is in the box. As they start chanting to find out what it is, Maximoff teleports "Geraldine" into the box, pleasing the audience, who applaud as Vision, Maximoff, and "Geraldine" bow.[5][14]
Backstage, Vision apologize, saying that he had been feeling weird. Maximoff looks through Vision and finds the gum bringing it out of his system. Maximoff suggests they leave, but as they rush out, "Jones" stops them and announces that they had won the comedy award.[5][14]
The audience applauds as "Geraldine" joins the bows. "Geraldine" asks how they performed their trick, and the two refuse to answer. "Norm" shouts "For the children," and the rest of the audience follows.[5][14]
7th
In the sewers, agent Franklin successfully crosses through the barrier and into Westview. However, his hazmat suit transforms into a beekeeper’s outfit and the tether he was attached to breaks and turns into a jump rope. The agents in charge of carefully guiding Franklin through the sewers, pull back the tether that was once attached to him. Agent Monti holds the jump-rope in confusion.[5][8]
Vision and Wanda Maximoff return home and celebrate their victory at the Westviewtalent show. Maximoff and Vision agree that they did not need to try hard to fit in, and that everything they did was for the children. Maximoff goes to get popcorn, when Vision suddenly notices that Maximoff is pregnant. Maximoff asks if it is really happening, and Vision says that it is. The two are about to kiss, when they're interrupted by a loud noise.[5][14]
Vision rushes outside, frustrated, and Maximoff follows. They turn and see a sewer grate being opened from underneath as Franklin climbs out of it, now appearing to be a beekeeper. Franklin faces Maximoff, who simply says "no," causing events to rewind.[5][14]
Having returned to the moment of Maximoff asking whether her pregnancy is really happening, the sound is eliminated as Vision assures her it is and the two kiss. Maximoff notices that Vision's face is suddenly in color, and marvels as she and the environment around her becomes colorized. The two kiss again as the broadcast shows it in a hexagon shape with the words "The End."[5][14]
In a 1970s setting inside of the Hex, Wanda and Vision are inside their home with Dr. Stan Nielson, the town's obstetrician, paying the couple a visit. A panicked Vision asks questions about the pregnancy, which confuses Dr. Nielson a bit. Maximoff continuously covers for him as Dr. Nielson points out that she looks to be about four months pregnant, despite the fact that in reality it's only been "twelve hours". As Vision walks Dr. Nielson out, he asks him to keep Maximoff's pregnancy a secret. Dr. Nielson agrees and takes his leave, while Vision greets his neighbor Herb. Vision looks back at his neighbor perplexed as Herb is using a hedge trimmer to cut into the cinderblock wall lining their driveway. As Vision points out his mistake, Herb thanks him but in spite of this, continues to cut into the wall with a smile.[5][15]
Vision heads back inside to inform Maximoff of the strange occurrence but quickly becomes distracted when he notices that Maximoff's pregnant stomach is even bigger now. Later that day, Maximoff is preparing the baby’s nursery with Vision by her side. She begins to feel kicking, which causes her to inadvertently use her powers to bring some paper butterflies to life. Surprised, she even goes as far to explain that she didn’t do any of this on purpose. During their conversation, Vision proposes the name Billy for a boy. Maximoff counters that suggestion with Tommy and the two playfully and briefly argue over what to name their future child. Maximoff then uses her powers to paint a stork on the wall while Vision does the math to figure out that at this rate. Vision then tells Maximoff that their baby should be due in just three days time.[5][15]
Wanda and Vision continue to prepare for the arrival of their child; with Vision practicing changing a doll's diaper while Maximoff times him. Their preparations are subsequently interrupted when Maximoff experiences false labor. Unfortunately, the experience causes her to lose control of her powers again as all of the appliances start to go crazy. Eventually, they lose power altogether and Vision learns that the same has happened on the whole block. Maximoff points out that if this is what happens during false labor, she is afraid to know what will happen during the real thing. She shares her worry of her neighbors discovering their secret and Vision begins to point out that something is very wrong. However, Wanda alters reality again. This time, all Vision simply does is comfort his wife.[5][15]
As they begin to relax, Maximoff is once again overcome with labor pains, only this time it is the real thing. The couple try out some breathing exercises to calm her but it more accurately helps Vision to calm down. Everything is fine for a second before water begins to rain from their ceiling and Maximoff tells her husband that her water just broke. Due to the indoor downpour, Maximoff and Vision hide under the table from the indoor rain. After a few seconds, it stops and Maximoff uses her powers to blow dry their home. She once again feels the labor pains and Vision runs off to find Dr. Nielson using his super speed.[5][15]
Lewis and Woo continues to observe the sitcom and both begin questioning why each episode is jumping to another decade. Lewis states that it can't be purely for her enjoyment and Woo can't believe that Wanda and Vision are having a baby. Lewis asks if he wants any (referring to the potato chip bag in her hands) and Woo misinterprets the question and says he has thought about having a child at one point. He eventually accepts Lewis' chip offer.[5][8]
Maximoff tries to push through another contraction when she hears a strange sound coming from the nursery. As she goes to investigate, she is startled by her doorbell. Trying to keep her pregnancy a secret, she grabs a large coat to throw on herself before answering the door. She opens the door to find Geraldine, who has come to borrow a bucket because all of the pipes in her ceiling burst. As she goes to grab a bucket, Maximoff feels several more contractions, each one changing the jacket she’s wearing. Though seemingly unaware of the craziness that is currently going on in Maximoff’s home, Geraldine begins to tell a story about work when Maximoff notices a live stork walking around her living room. Maximoff tries to keep her neighbor from noticing the bird walking around her home but she can’t seem to use her powers to get rid of it. Geraldine eventually heads into the nursery and the bird hides perfectly matched up with the painting on the wall. Geraldine notices the crib and discovers that Maximoff is pregnant as she starts going into labor. Meanwhile, Vision arrives at the doctor’s home, throws him on his back, and speeds away.[5][15]
Geraldine tries to get Maximoff ready to give birth and notices things around their home going haywire once again, but says to herself that she is sure there is a perfectly logical explanation for all of this. Eventually, Geraldine delivers Maximoff’s baby boy and hands him over to the happy new mother. Vision and Dr. Nielson come in a moment later, and Vision meets his son. With Geraldine and the doctor in the other room, Vision transforms into his natural synthezoid state and holds the baby, calling him Tommy. As the couple share a smile, Maximoff begins to go into labor again and Vision realizes that another baby, Billy, is coming.[5][15]
Later, all four adults are in the living room with Vision and Dr. Nielson holding Tommy and Billy. Vision walks Dr. Nielson out, who mentions his planned vacation to Bermuda will not be happening after all. Dr. Nielson explains that he thinks he will not be taking his trip because small towns can be hard to escape. A puzzled Vision then finds Agnes and Herb gossiping in the yard. Intrigued, he approaches them to find out what they're discussing. Agnes asks if Geraldine is inside with Maximoff.[5][15]
Herb and Agnes explain to Vision that Geraldine is new to town and has no family, husband or even a home. Vision clearly finds that strange.[5][15]
Back inside, Maximoff reveals to Geraldine that she herself is a twin. She appears overcome with emotion as she brings up Pietro Maximoff before singing to her newborn babies a Sokovian lullaby. Geraldine is visibly confused and reminds Maximoff that Pietro was killed by Ultron during the Battle of Sokovia. The remark sets Maximoff back and she quickly grows angry and confrontational.[5][15]
As soon as Geraldine mentioned Ultron, Woo questions if that is the first reference to their reality, which Lewis does indeed confirm. They then watch as Wanda realizes “Geraldine” is not who she thought she was.[5][8]
Maximoff asks Geraldine to repeat what she said which leads to Geraldine to offer to take a shift rocking the babies. Maximoff instead asks her to leave as she notices a strange S.W.O.R.D. necklace she is wearing.[5][15]
Just as they were about to see what was going to happen next, the broadcast simply jumps-cuts to the end credits, leaving Lewis and Woo confused and concerned as they don't know what has happened to Rambeau. Lewis tries to check on the recorded footage to see if it also had the same effect. To Lewis' frustration, it does indeed have the same effect. She then comes to the realization that someone is censoring the broadcast and Woo asks what happened to Rambeau.[5][8]
As Maximoff continues to ask Geraldine who she is, the neighbor in question becomes visibly flustered and can not answer any of Maximoff's questions. "Geraldine" continues to say that she's just her neighbor but Maximoff refutes by asking her about how she knows about Ultron. Maximoff comes to the conclusion that "Geraldine" was not her neighbor and definitely not her friend. She then tells her that she is trespassing and that she wants her to leave. Maximoff uses her powers to launch her through several walls of her house and out of Westview.[5][8]
Vision then tries to get more information from his neighbors and Herb begins to explain why Geraldine came to their town but Agnes cuts off Herb, telling him to stop while looking scared. The mood suddenly changes as Agnes runs off with a smile, leaving Herb to say goodbye to Vision, without answering his question.[5][15]
Outside the Hex, an alarm alerts the entire base of a breach. Lewis, Woo, and a bunch of other agents hurried outside to see what had happened. A bunch of S.W.O.R.D. vehicles surround Rambeau and a bunch of agents jumped out of the vehicle to see if she's okay. As Lewis and Woo arrive at the scene, Woo asks Rambeau if she was okay. Rambeau replies that the entire Hex, and everything happening inside it, is all because of Maximoff.[5][15][8]
Afterwards, Wanda subsequently uses her powers to simply fix the walls and returns to her newborn babies with a sad look on her face just as Vision heads back inside. He asks where Geraldine is and an eerily stoic Maximoff explains that she had to rush home. Wanda picks up one of the twins and asks Vision what should they watch. Vision carries the other twin as they both sit down on the couch and Vision turns on the TV.[5][8][15]
Now in a 1980s setting, Maximoff and Vision struggle to get their twin boys to sleep. Maximoff even tries to use magic on them, but they appear to be immune to her abilities. Both Maximoff and Vision try to placate their crying babies, but see the pacifiers shot back up into their faces after the babies reject them. Right as Maximoff says they need some help with the babies, the doorbell rings and Agnes enters, nearly catching Vision in his true form. She explains that she heard the twins were on a sleep strike and came to help. Vision becomes suspicious of their neighbor, and asks who told her that and she jokingly explains that she could hear them crying from outside. Vision then laughs it off but still appears to remain suspicious.[5][11]
Agnes then offers to help but Vision declines her offers, which visibly confuses her. Agnes turns to Maximoff and asks if she wants her to “take that from the top again.” Vision and Maximoff share a look of confusion and Agnes asks again if they should take it from the top, as if they are actors on a television show. Maximoff quickly puts a stop to the break in character and encourages her to help with the babies. Vision is disturbed by what he saw and tries to question Maximoff about it, but she assures him that everything is fine. The crying then stops and the couple goes to check on their babies, who are now missing from their cribs. As Maximoff and Vision question what is happening, a child’s voice calls out from behind them and they turn to see the twins, now five years old. Agnes simply remarks that children grow up fast.[5][11]
Rambeau is questioned about her experience inside the Maximoff Anomaly. She goes on to describe it as “pain” and how she felt Wanda's voice in her head. She continues by saying that there was a hopeless feeling keeping her down, which she later described as “grief". Woo and Lewis enters the room where Rambeau is undergoing some sort of brain scan. They tell Rambeau that there is a briefing in ten minutes before the doctor tells them they need to run another scan. Lewis points out that the scans are blank. When the doctor says they need to draw more blood, Rambeau tells her they are done here and begins to get dressed for the briefing.[5][11]
Acting Director Tyler Hayward leads a briefing about the current situation
Hayward leads a briefing for the entire base, updating them on the investigation's progress and now classifying Maximoff as the “principal victimizer.” Woo then provides history on Maximoff and defends her when Hayward, on multiple occasions, decides to only point out her destructive tendencies. He also notably asks if Wanda has an alias, but the agents present say does not have one. Rambeau defends Maximoff after Hayward refers to her as a terrorist. He counters her by saying how Rambeau described her experience inside Westview as both “excruciating” and “terrifying.” Monica explains that she only survived her experience because Maximoff protected her.[5][11]
In order to further convince his team of Maximoff’s dangerous intentions, he shares previously classified footage of Maximoff infiltrating a S.W.O.R.D. facility where Vision’s corpse was stored in. He explains that, nine days prior to the briefing, Maximoff had stormed the facility, "stole" Vision's body and resurrected him. Woo points out that her actions violate the Sokovia Accords and Hayward further adds that it also violates Vision’s living will. Woo points out that Vision “didn't want to be anybody’s weapon". Hayward adds that in her grief, Maximoff disregarded Vision’s wishes. Woo then asks how she managed to bring Vision back to life and Lewis wonders what would happen when Vision learns the truth regarding Westview.[5][11][10]
Inside the Vision Residence, the twins are hiding something in the kitchen sink. Maximoff discovers that the boys have found a dog before asking their mom to keep him. Vision enters their home shortly thereafter in his human form. When Maximoff asks him about his disguise, he explains he had a hunch that someone might pop over. Right on queue, Agnes comes in the back door with a dog house, which Vision finds rather odd. Agnes then asks the boys if they have named the dog yet and, after the dog somehow short circuits an outlet, she suggests they go with Sparky. Maximoff then uses her powers, while Agnes is still in the room, to create a collar and name tag for the dog. Vision freaks out and points out that she made no effort to conceal her abilities. Maximoff explains that she is tired of hiding and tells him he does not have to either. That prompts Vision to question Maximoff regarding what she might be keeping from him. They are interrupted by Billy, who asks again if they can keep Sparky. The couple tells their children they will not be ready for a dog until they are at least ten years old. The boys look at each other and then age themselves up to the age of 10, despite objections from their parents.[5][11]
Back in the base, Rambeau, Woo and Lewis try to come up with solutions on how to re-enter Westview. Rambeau then claims to know an "aerospace engineer" who she also claims would be excited to help them on their mission, before sending a message on her phone. Lewis tells Rambeau that she refers to the sitcom world as “The Hex,” due to the recurring presence of hexagons that they previously made note of on the whiteboard. Woo then questions if they have identified the twins but Rambeau then tells him the twins are Wanda’s children and that everything that's been happening inside the Hex is real. Lewis and Woo point out that Maximoff usually makes people see illusions and that creating real matter would be a far greater power they have yet to see from her. Rambeau points out though that Maximoff showed some great power when she almost took out Thanos on her own. Woo responds that Captain Marvel almost did the same, which causes Rambeau to pause for a few seconds. Lewis then asks Rambeau if Captain Marvel had received her powers from an Infinity Stone. Rambeau dismisses the conversation, saying that they weren't talking about her.[5][11]
Rambeau notices an image of the drone they sent into the Hex earlier and asks to be shown to the lab. Once there, she finds her 70’s-style wardrobe she wore inside the Hex. Lewis and Woo question if they are being mind controlled to see the clothing and Rambeau assures them it is real. She grabs Woo’s gun and shoots the outfit. The bullets bounce off the clothes, leaving them unscathed. Rambeau concludes that the clothes are 87% Kevlar because she was wearing a bulletproof vest when she entered the Hex. That leads her to the conclusion that Maximoff is not creating an illusion, but instead, she is rewriting reality. She then questions what would happen if they sent something into the Hex that did not require any change to fit with the current theme inside.[5][11]
Vision talking to Norm about the wonders of the internet
At CSI HQ, Vision tries to teach Norm how to use the internet when the entire office receives an email from S.W.O.R.D. and begins reading it out loud while everyone else reads in unison. Vision, once again suspicious of what is going on, uses his power to turn off the computer and turns to Norm. He uses his power to awaken the real Westview resident, who immediately begins to panic. The person playing Norm pleads for help and tells Vision he has to stop “her.” As he yells for Vision to make “her” stop, Vision uses his power again to return Norm back to his normal sitcom self.[5][11]
Maximoff and the boys play with Sparky in their house and the boys begin to question Wanda about where their father is. When she tells them he is now at work, they tell her they thought it was Saturday. The three of them then begin to debate over what day it is. Maximoff subsequently abandons her initial explanation that it is Monday and instead explains that there was an emergency at the office, also stating that Vision needed to take a break. The boys ask if that means that Vision needed to take a break from them. Maximoff comforts them, assuring them that that is not the case. Subsequently, the boys ask her if she has a brother. With a distant look, she explains that she does but that he’s “far away from here” and that that makes her sad sometimes.[5][11]
Attack on Wanda Maximoff: Their discussion is interrupted when Sparky begins to bark at the door. Wanda goes outside to investigate, letting Sparky run outside. A 90's era drone is seen flying over Westview and Hayward and his team gets a visual of Maximoff. Woo points out that the drone is out of frame on the broadcast and Lewis explains that Maximoff is controlling the shot. Rambeau attempts to communicate with Maximoff, but instead triggers her anger. Rambeau then says her controls are not working and Hayward orders another agent to fire a missile towards Wanda. The drone feed is lost and Rambeau stands up to question Hayward.[5][11]
Shortly thereafter, an alarm begins to sound and an agent explains that there has been another breach. Everyone rushes to the border of the Hex where they see Maximoff emerge from the forcefield, dragging their destroyed drone. Maximoff gives S.W.O.R.D. a final warning to stay out of her home. She tells them that she will not bother them if they do so but Hayward explains she has taken an entire town hostage. When Rambeau approaches, Maximoff prepares to use her powers. Rambeau pleads with Wanda to trust her while explaining that she knows she is an ally of hers. Maximoff questions how Rambeau can help her now that she has what she wanted. Rambeau pauses before Maximoff claimed that she had what she wanted, and that nobody can take it from her again. She then uses her powers to have the soldiers turn their guns on Hayward and retreats back into the Hex. She turns the Hex's barrier from transparent to glitching red and re-enters the Hex.[5][11]
Inside the Hex, Agatha kills Sparky and wraps him up in a blanket.[5][12]
Wanda and the twins search for Sparky before coming across Agnes, holding what appears to be Sparky wrapped up in a blanket. She explains that she found the dog in her azalea bushes and was unable to stop him before it was too late. The boys share a look and Maximoff stops them before they can age themselves up again. They argue over whether or not Maximoff should use her abilities to “fix the dead.” Agnes, seemingly shocked, questions Maximoff's ability to revive the dead. Instead, Maximoff tries to teach her boys a lesson about the rules in life, explaining that they can not reverse death, no matter how sad it makes them, despite the fact that she had revived Vision out of grief. The boys continue to plead with her as Vision arrives. He comforts his children as Maximoff shows a troubled look.[5][11]
Back at home, Vision confronts Maximoff about what he saw with Norm. He tells her he was in pain and shrugs off her attempted distractions. However, he then tells her she can not simply control him. She responds with a "Can't I?" and tries to leave Vision. She then tries to put an end to the argument by having the ending credits of her sitcom life to roll. However, Vision refuses to let the argument end. He confronts her again, eventually using his powers to take a fighting stance. Maximoff takes a stance of her own and explains that all the action she took was for Vision and the twins. When Vision questions what’s outside of Westview, she tells him he does not want to know. Vision snaps and the argument becomes more heated. Maximoff explains that she does not know how any of this started in the first place and Vision tells her what she is doing is wrong.[5][11]
Agatha, with Ralph Bohner under her control, brings him to the Vision Residence, poses him as "Pietro Maximoff", and leaves him at the front door.[12]
As the argument is interrupted by the doorbell, Lewis is watching the broadcast live as Vision asks who's at the door. Maximoff answers the door and is surprised at Pietro's sudden appearance. As this is happening, Lewis is surprised by this and exclaims that Wanda had recast Pietro.[5][11]
Now in a 90s/2000s era, the sitcom inside the hex starts off with Billy saying that Halloween is all about dressing up as someone else for a day. Tommy refutes this by saying that Halloween is all about candy and scaring people for fun.[5][16]
As they both head over to the living room, they find "Pietro" sleeping on the sofa. Tommy admires on how he snores suggests waking him up. Billy says no, which causes Tommy to start teasing him, saying that he was afraid of their uncle because it's late in the "afternoon" and that he might be a vampire. "Pietro", who is now fully awake and overheard their entire conversation, uses his superspeed to jokingly scare them. Wanda then comes downstairs to see what was the commotion about and shows her costume to the trio. Afterwards, Vision comes downstairs and is thanked by Wanda for humoring her and for wearing his costume. Vision then asks the boys if they want any corn syrup but finds out that they are too busy playing video games with their "uncle". Vision comments on how "Pietro" is great with kids. Wanda tells him that he's full of surprises.[5][16]
Vision announces to Wanda that he has plans to go undercover on patrol and that Halloween is for adolescent trouble-makers. Wanda objects to this due to her not knowing about this in the first place and that this is Billy and Tommy's first Halloween. "Pietro" butts in and offers to help take care of the twins for the day. They both accept this and Vision heads to neighborhood watch.[5][16]
At the S.W.O.R.D. Response Base, Monica Rambeau confronts Tyler Hayward about his recent attempt to kill Maximoff and it had set them back. Hayward tells her they now know what they're dealing with. As they enter the briefing room, Darcy Lewis comments on his recent failure with Maximoff. Hayward asks her who she works for and Rambeau vouches for her, saying that she's with her. Jimmy Woo also comes to their defense and tells him there's no time to diminish his colleagues when he's on the verge of entering an unwinnable war. Hayward tells them that Maximoff was never going to negotiate with them and that this will end if they take her out. Rambeau reasons with him that they don't know what's going to happen to the entire world if they kill Maximoff and tells him that she might be their solution.[5][16]
Hayward informs her that she has become an impediment for this mission due to her constant advocations with super-powered individuals, and tells her that she has no idea what the last 5 years were like. Rambeau tells him to not use the last 5 years as an excuse to be a coward. Hayward then tells her that her absence during her mother's death was a good thing and she clearly doesn't have the stomach for the job. Hayward deliberately orders his team to escort Rambeau, Lewis, and Woo off the base.[5][16]
As they were being escorted, Woo points out that Hayward is overstepping his authority. Rambeau tells him that he was looking for a way to sideline them and that he has to be hiding something. Just as the soldier ordered them to get in the truck, Woo suddenly punches him with Rambeau following suit as Lewis watches them. After they were done, they dragged the soldiers into a storage shipping container and they all wear a disguise to sneak back into the base without any suspicion.[5][16]
Back inside the hex, Wanda tries to test "Pietro" about their time in the orphanage while the twins are trick-or-treating. "Pietro" immediately picks this up and tells her that he knows he looks different, with Wanda asking why. "Pietro" responds that if he "found Shangri-La," he wouldn't want to be reminded of the past either. Tommy, after finishing trick-or-treating at a previous house, with Billy right behind him, returns to Wanda, wanting to go to the next house. "Pietro" then offers both him and Billy a chance to maximize their candy acquisition and takes the twins around the neighborhood using his superspeed. They eventually will cause shenanigans all over town by taking all of the candy, smashing every jack-o-lantern, and spraying silly string on everyone in town.[5][16]
After they had left, Wanda notices Herb on patrol and walks over to him. Wanda asks Herb how his day was going so far, with Herb says it was a quiet one until he starts receiving reports from all over town about "Pietro" and the twins' shenanigans. Cutting it short, Herb says he's got to go and Wanda says that maybe Vision could help him. Herb tells her that Vision wasn't on duty today and asks her if she needs help with anything. Wanda laughs it off and declines his offer.[5][16]
Meanwhile, at another part of the neighborhood, Vision is seen wandering the streets until he stops and notices a resident who is repeatedly hanging and removing a Halloween decoration. Vision also notices a tear streaking down from the resident, implying she's conscious and suffering on the inside. Vision decides to continue walking the streets of Westview.[5][16]
10th
Later that "night", Wanda Maximoff convinces Billy and Tommy Maximoff to return all the candy they stole with "Pietro", who is disappointed about this. Wanda tells him that she can't believe what a bad influence he is. He tells her that he's just doing his part and to ultimately give her grief. Wanda asks him what happened to his accent with him asking the same question to her. The twins return and Billy tells them that there are full-sized candy bars a few blocks up and asks Wanda if they can go. Tommy then uses his recently earned superspeed to retrieve the candy bars. After testing out his superspeed once more, Wanda tells him that if he is going to break the sound barrier, he has to take Billy with him. She both reminds them to not go past Ellis Avenue.[5][16]
Successfully sneaking back inside the S.W.O.R.D. Response Base, Monica Rambeau, Darcy Lewis, and Jimmy Woo enter a server room at the base, with Rambeau noticing "Pietro" at a nearby TV screen. Lewis successfully hacks into the secure network so that they can access data on Hayward's devices. They find out that Hayward has managed to find a way to look through the Hex boundary and that he's tracking Vision. Woo points out that all the other "dots" are actually Westview residents in Vision's immediate vicinity and that he must have an accurate headcount by now as well as some sense of their well-being. Woo questions if the residents at the edge of town are alive as the tracker refocuses on Vision's current location.[5][16]
Inside the Hex, Vision continues to wander throughout the streets of Westview and notices that the residents are now immobile. He tries to ask one of them a few questions, but to no avail. He then uses this opportunity to fly up and notices a car at the edge of town. Vision flies towards the car and recognizes "Agnes" as the driver. Vision asks her where she was going. Agnes eerily tells him that she's looking for Town Square Scare. Though, after Vision tells her to head towards Town Square, Agnes emotionlessly says that she got lost and took a wrong turn.[5][16]
Vision decides to unlock Agnes' "true" personality, in hopes of getting answers. After doing so, Agnes immediately recognizes him as an Avenger but, due to him not having his full memory, Vision doesn't know what an "Avenger" is and asks her about it. Agnes acts confused, informs him that he is actually deceased, and starts laughing maniacally after claiming that all is lost. Vision, after hearing enough, decides to place her back into her "sitcom personality" and she drives back into town. Afterwards, Vision then looks around and finds out he's at Ellis Avenue and starts to head towards the Hex boundary.[5][16]
Back at the base, Lewis looks through multiple files and finds a medical file about Rambeau containing all of her bloodwork. Rambeau's phone vibrates and she picks it up, saying that her way of getting back into the Hex will be there in an hour and that she's got to meet them over at the ridge. Lewis tells her that she can't go back into the Hex and shows her the file about her. She tells Rambeau that the energy inside the hex has rewritten her cells on a molecular level twice and that it's changing her. Rambeau reassures her that she'll be fine and that she won't stop until she helps Maximoff. Lewis reluctantly agrees and tells them she's staying at the base. Lewis tells them that she hasn't made it past the last firewall yet and that there's something big there that can help them. Rambeau is reluctant about this, but lets her stay and tells her that she will drop her the location once she's done. [5][16]
At Town Square Scare, Wanda and "Pietro" have a conversation about the twins and the current scenario inside and Hex and asks her how she did it. Wanda tells him that she doesn't actually know how she did it in the first place and all she remembers was feeling completely alone and empty. Wanda turns to look at "Pietro", but sees three wounds on his chest and gasps. When she turns around again, the wounds are gone and "Pietro" asks her if she was okay. Wanda tells him that she's fine and "Pietro" doesn't believe her.[5][16]
While searching for files that might help them, Lewis stumbles upon Project Cataract, but is unable to access it freely. Lewis sends the file to Jimmy Woo.[5][16]
At the briefing room, Tyler Hayward notices Vision getting close to the Hex boundary and orders his team to move out. As she was trying to hack into the Cataract file, the tracker pops up on Lewis' screen, and notices Vision as well.[5][16]
Vision finally reaches the Hex boundary and pushes through it. Outside of the Hex, Hayward's team arrives to observe Vision as he reaches the other end of the boundary. Hayward comments on this, saying that Vision really wants out of the Hex. Lewis runs out and see this happening.[5][16]
As Vision struggles to move away from the Hex, he suddenly gets on the ground and is slowly dematerializing. Lewis sees this and runs to them, telling them to help him. Agent Monti apprehends Lewis as Vision continues to struggle.[5][16]
Inside the Hex, Billy Maximoff suddenly discovers a part of his newfound power and can hear what's going on from far away. He then suddenly stop Tommy and tells him to be quiet. As he hears Vision's screams, Billy runs to Wanda and tells her that he can hear his dad in his head and he's in trouble.[5][16]
Back at the base, as Vision continues to be displaced by the Hex, Lewis is placed in handcuffs by Monti. Lewis tells him to let her go and to help Vision, who asks them to help the people of Westview and collapses.[5][16]
Billy, confused as to what's happening to him, is interrogated by Wanda, who asks where Vision is. "Pietro" blatantly tells her to don't sweat it and that Vision can't die twice. This infuriates Wanda, who proceeds to use her powers to knock him into a hay bale as the twins watch. Wanda tells Billy to focus. Billy tells her that he sees these soldiers and that they think he's dying. Wanda stops time inside the Hex and uses her powers to expand the Hex to save Vision's life.[5][16]
As they are heading towards the ridge, Monica Rambeau notices something going on with the Hex. Jimmy Woo looks back to see what's going on and hurriedly tells her that the Hex is moving and that they need to move faster. Monica hits the gas to evade the Hex.[5][16]
Hayward and his team notice the Hex starting to move and they all start to head towards the S.W.O.R.D. trucks to escape. Monti leaves Lewis behind as her and multiple other S.W.O.R.D. agents get pulled into the Hex. Hayward, along with a few other agents, barely escape as he tries to use a walkie talkie to try to communicate to anyone out there.[5][16]
Due to expanding the Hex perimeter, Wanda begins to lose control of her reality, as various objects and décor in her house begins to shift through the different time periods exhibited in the WandaVision sitcom, which is now in a modern day era.[5][12]
Tyler Hayward consults with Agent Rodriguez about the broadcast. Rodriguez says the signal's dead. Hayward tells her to make sure the team is ready, as they are going to launch Project Cataract today.[5][12]
Vision re-awakens in a Westview carnival, where he reunites with Darcy Lewis. He tells her that they had an unspoken understanding from the previous night. Lewis, who was currently in her "sitcom" personality, misinterprets it as him asking her out on a date, and walks away. Vision follows right behind her.[5][12]
Wanda asks the twins Billy and Tommy Maximoff if they had seen Vision. Billy says no and asks if they want to look for him. Wanda tells him that if Vision doesn't want to be here, she can't do anything about it. Billy then asks about what "Pietro" had said about "re-killing" Vision the night before. Wanda tells him that he wasn't their uncle and lectures them about how she doesn't have any answers and that she is starting to think that everything is meaningless. The twins are confused by this. Later, "Agnes" enters the household and suggest the twins to give Wanda some "me" time. Billy then asks Wanda if she was sure about this and that she needs someone to take care of her. Wanda says she'll be fine and lets "Agnes" take the kids into "her house". Wanda changes the channel and continues to eat breakfast until she notices her furniture shifting through different time periods such as the 1960s. She quickly changes them back into the current era.[5][12]
Monica Rambeau and Jimmy Woo retrieve Darcy's email regarding Project Cataract: a plan to bring the deceased Vision back online, though the means to actually bring him back online didn't work until Wanda had "stolen" Vision's "body". They meet up with Major Aly Goodner, who had delivered a heavily-armored S.W.O.R.D. rover to the Westview outskirts as a means to penetrate the barrier without issue.[5][12]
Meanwhile, Vision continues to try to tell her that they are on the same side and that she was apart of a team. Lewis' sitcom personality tells him that she's "notoriously self-involved" and says that she'll go out with him; still misinterpreting the situation at hand. Vision then distracts her by saying that the mime's tray is getting too heavy and uses the opportunity to bring her true self back. Lewis tells Vision her real name and they both team up. They both use a food truck to escape the carnival so that they can continue their conversation.[5][12]
Wanda continues to notice her entire house shifting between multiple eras as a result of the expansion, which causes her to be very bewildered by this.[5][12]
At "Agnes' House", Agnes attempts to have small talk with the twins Billy and Tommy Maximoff by asking them what are they thinking about. Billy tells her that he likes "her" house because it's quiet as well as pointing out that she herself is quiet on the inside. This startles Agnes for a moment before Tommy asks if Wanda was going to be okay. Agnes reassures him and tells him that Wanda was indeed going to be okay and that they don't need to worry about her.[5][12]
Infiltration into Westview: The S.W.O.R.D. rover fails to penetrate through the barrier and, in a final attempt to reach Wanda again, Monica uses her own body to breach into Westview. The third wave of exposure to radiation ends up giving Rambeau an altered physique, allowing her to detect energy on a level no other human can see. She starts to run towards Wanda's house.[5][12]
While riding home in a food truck they hijacked at the carnival, Vision would learn about his previous life from Darcy, from his creation as J.A.R.V.I.S. to his death at the hands of Thanos. However, their journey keeps getting delayed by impediments in which Vision thinks that they are being set up by Wanda to halt his return home. Lewis tells him that she's been watching the sitcom for the past week and that the love between Wanda and Vision is real.[5][12]
Monica arrives at Wanda's house to warn her about Hayward's agenda, but quickly finds herself unwelcome at the mention of Hayward's name. Their confrontation spills into the streets, as an angry Maximoff accuses the S.W.O.R.D. agent of lying about the armed drones and "Pietro". Monica tells her that she lost someone important to her too and that she can't change that because it's her truth. Agnes intervenes and carries Wanda away to her house. As a last effort to convince her, Monica tells her that she needs to take down the Hex. Wanda refuses and continues walking with "Agnes".[5][12]
Having enough with the current impediment, Vision decides to fly over to Westview, leaving Lewis behind.[5][12]
While searching for a way inside Agnes' House, Monica finds and opens the outside entrance to the basement, but is interrupted by Ralph Bohner.[5][12]
Inside Agnes' house, Agnes asks Wanda if she wants a cup of tea, to which Wanda gladly accepts. After Agnes leaves to get the cup of tea, Wanda realizes her children are missing and notices a fly on the curtain. After asking where the twins are, Wanda is referred to the basement, where she discovers a gothic lair. "Agnes" walks in and introduces herself as Agatha Harkness, before infiltrating Wanda's consciousness to reveal her meddling during their time in Westview.[5][12]
Agatha taunts Wanda for being so easily deceived by the presence of fake Pietro, while she reveals her fascination with the magic involved in the Westview Anomaly. Determined to know where it came from, she subjects her to multiple flashback scenes showcasing key moments in her life: the Novi Grad Bombings, HYDRA's experimentation on her, the sprouting of her relationship with Vision at the New Avengers Facility, and concluding with her visit to S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters and the beginning of the Westview Anomaly.[5][10]
Kidnapping of Billy and Tommy Maximoff: Agatha holds Wanda's children hostage, finally deducing the truth behind such power: they originate from chaos magic, leading Harkness to identify Maximoff as the mythical "Scarlet Witch", and kickstarts her desire to absorb her chaos power.[5][10]
Following attempts to murder Maximoff, Project Cataract is launched. White Vision is reactivated by Hayward via the Hex-infected drone from the day before, and is sent into Westview.[5][10]
White Vision arrives into Westview, whom Wanda mistakes for her lover. The sentient weapon attempts to crush Wanda's skull, but is stopped by Wanda's Vision, who throws him into an RV that explodes. Wanda apologizes to her Vision about her lack of transparency regarding the Anomaly, but he forgives her, knowing the reason why she crafted the reality in the first place. White Vision emerges from the fire, prompting Wanda's Vision to duel with him in the skies. Wanda flies away to confront Agatha as Monica tries to call out to her from inside Ralph Bohner's House.[5][17]
At the S.W.O.R.D. Retreat, Jimmy Woo is captured and brought to Hayward in handcuffs. Hayward boasts that without video evidence from inside the Anomaly proving the existence of two Visions, he will be able to maintain his narrative of Wanda Maximoff and cover-up her murder. While stealthily grabbing a phone from a table, Jimmy threatens FBI intervention, which Hayward calls a bluff. Woo is thrown out, but manages to free himself from the handcuffs and call his FBI allies at Quantico.[5][17]
At the town square, Agatha approaches Wanda with the Darkhold, explaining to her the myth of the Scarlet Witch: she is forged into existence, possessing magic that trumps the power of the Sorcerer Supreme, is not bound to a coven or incantation, and is destined to destroy the world. Wanda attempts to reject any correlation to legend.[5][17]
At Ralph's "Mancave", Monica learns that "Pietro's real name is Ralph Bohner and that she was in his actual house. Ralph chuckles at his own last name. She finds out that the bead necklace was the one source of his superspeed and it was Agatha's way of controlling him. Monica rips the necklace off him.[5][17]
To emotionally manipulate Wanda, Agatha frees the residents of Westview from Wanda's influence. They immediately bombard her with pleas and questions about their loved ones. Overwhelmed with guilt, Wanda bursts into anguish, accidentally releasing a wave of energy that forms magic bands around their necks, causing them to suffocate. She quickly reverses the effect. As they were watching the Visions fight, Billy senses his mother's outburst, prompting him and Tommy to rush over.[5][17]
Beginning to realize the damage she has inflicted upon Westview due to her influence, Wanda begins to destroy the Anomaly. As the barrier separates, Tyler Hayward leads S.W.O.R.D. into town to confront Maximoff. In the skies, the Visions' duel is interrupted when Wanda's Vision begins to disintegrate, causing him to fall to the ground. Wanda sees him and her children collapsing into particles, leading her to stop the process and reseal the barrier.[5][17]
While the Maximoff family reunites, Agatha, White Vision, and Hayward descend into the town square, the family separates to fight their enemies.[5][17]
Billy and Tommy disarm and neutralize S.W.O.R.D., prompting Hayward to emerge from his vehicle and shoot at the kids. Monica Rambeau rushes in and blocks the bullets with her body; she fails to stop one, but Billy's telekinesis stops it. Hayward boards a Humvee and attempts to ram the three over, but is stopped by a food truck piloted by Darcy Lewis.[5][17]
Wanda's Vision resumes his duel with White Vision, which leads them into the public library. They halt fighting when Wanda's Vision brings up the Ship of Theseus thought experiment to the Spectral; using the experiment, the two synthezoids are able to understand their existence. White Vision allows Wanda's Vision into his systems to eradicate S.W.O.R.D.'s programming and restore his memories. Reaffirming himself as Vision, White Vision flies away from Westview.[5][17]
Wanda ambushes Agatha and subjects her to a hallucination, bringing them back to her 1693 trial and attempted execution. The bodies of the deceased witches begin to reanimate, and recognize Wanda as the Scarlet Witch, Harbringer of Chaos. Wanda herself is tied to the stake in place of Agatha, who attempts to strike a bargain with her: give up the chaos magic, and her false reality can persist.[5][17]
As Wanda's Vision reunites with his boys, Wanda begins to transfer her chaos energy and life force to Agatha, seemingly accepting the bargain. In actuality, the action was merely a distraction for Wanda to cast protection runes on the walls of the Hex, nullifying Agatha's magic. Wanda proceeds to absorb the magical essence out of Harkness, the surge of energy morphs her into the Scarlet Witch as depicted in legend.[5][17]
Maximoff stands victorious over Agatha
In the aftermath of the Battle of Westview, Wanda places a spell on Harkness, reverting her to the character "Agnes" and trapping her inside Westview. Wanda and Vision come to accept that their dream home is no longer for them and, as the family returns home, the Hex begins to retract. Across town, its reality overwrites were reversed as Westview slowly returns to normal.[5][17]
Knowing that her newfound family will not be able to exist in the real world, Wanda bids farewell to Billy and Tommy as they are tucked into bed, thanking them for choosing her to be their mother. Anticipating his deletion, Vision approaches Wanda about his mere existence, learning that he is bound to her as the Mind Stone that resides within her. As normality approaches their house, both tearfully embrace each other and confess their undying love, vowing to see each other again someday.[5][17]
The Westview Anomaly fully dissipates, causing Vision, Billy and Tommy Maximoff to cease to exist. Wanda returns to the town square where amidst the scowls of her former thralls, she finds Monica Rambeau, who does not share the sentiment. Instead, she expresses empathy toward Maximoff and admits that if given the power, she would've resurrected her mother. Wanda apologizes for her actions and admits that there is still a lot for her to learn about her power.[5][17]
As the FBI and local police arrive, Wanda bids farewell to Monica before flying away from Westview. She takes one final look at the welcome sign before departing. Jimmy Woo emerges and reunites with Monica, now in charge of the Westview Investigation as Tyler Hayward is escorted away in handcuffs. Monica is summoned into the local theatre by an FBI agent, who reveals herself to be a Skrull sent by an old friend of her mother in regards to an intergalactic mission.[5][17]
↑ 2.02.12.22.32.4In What We're Fighting For, flashbacks are shown of Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons' life following their move to Theta Serpentis on July 4, 2019 (see 2019 references). They spent 4 years together, suggesting they jumped back in time around July 2023. It can be taken as a specific 4 years, so roughly July 4, 2023, or a more general "2023 - 2019 = 4", so any time in 2023 (approximating with mid-year). Putting more weight on the more specific, it can be approximated to July 3, 2023. This is suitable, given Leo and Simmons have been celebrating Alya's birthday, and if they have traveled a near exact number of years, this means Alya's birthday aligns closely with the date on which she becomes a year older, simplifying her birthday. Harlow Happy Hexum was 4 years and 10 months old during filming, suggesting Alya is around 4 in the 2023 and returned-to-2019 scenes, and 5 in the following 2020 epilogue scene. However, Alya was conceived no earlier than July 2019, meaning she was born no earlier than early 2020, thus maximum 3. So, for her to be as close as realistically possible to 4, she should indeed be born in early/mid-2020. On average, a pregnant woman finds out they are pregnant about 245 days days before birth. In Brand New Day, a flashback is shown to just after Simmons has found out she is pregnant, and is implied to have been a while after they began their work. Assuming it is at least 3 months, but taking it as no more than 3 months due to wanting to maximize Alya's age, that scene may be approximated to October 4, 2019, and thus Simmons finding out her pregnancy around October 1, 2019, finally therefore meaning Alya was born around early June 2020 (roughly June 2nd). This is suitable, as in What We're Fighting For it is seemingly implied in July that her birthday has been in recent month. It can be assumed that Fitz starting to study the Time Stream is July 5, 2019, and then the scenes of the montage shown between then and the scene approximated to October 4, 2019 can be evenly distributed to July 23rd, August 10th, August 29th, and September 16th. At some point between July 5, 2019 and July 3, 2023 during the studying of the Time Stream, Fitz finds out about Kora's importance and the team being together for the final time in the speakeasy. This may be approximated to the midpoint, July 2021. Simmons appears to be about a month from birth when Leo makes her the tea, so roughly May 2, 2020. Alya appears to be about 4 months old as the family watch a film, suggesting it is around October 2-November 1, 2020, so October 17, 2020. She is about the same age when they look at the stars together as when they time travel back to 2019, so this can be taken to be shortly before in 2023 - around a week prior, so June 26, 2023.
