WandaVision: 5 burning questions for Episode 7
4. What is Hayward’s problem?
Tyler Hayward has come off as smarmy and unlikable since his very first WandaVision episode and he has only gotten worse since then. Undermining S.W.O.R.D. Captain Monica Rambeau at every given opportunity, he nearly got them all killed when he tried to target Wanda in Westview – resulting in the Scarlet Witch threatening all of them.
In the sixth episode, however, he showed no signs that he wanted to reason with Wanda. Instead, he kicked Monica, Jimmy Woo and Dr. Darcy Lewis off the team and subsequently investigated Vision (instead of Wanda). And when the android Avenger made it through the energy wall and began disintegrating, Hayward made no attempt to save the hero.
Does he have a problem with superheroes? Does he want Vision’s body back for the tech? Or is he a major villain in disguise? We might get answers in next week’s episode of WandaVision but, regardless of his motivations, he’s not a very nice person.
3. Who is Agnes?
Yet again we find ourselves asking this question because, yet again, we are posed with even more thought-provoking information about Wanda and Vision’s nosy-but-lovable neighbor.
Vision came across Agnes in the latest episode and, when he found her in something of a daze, he awoke the soul inside of her (just as he did with Norm in the previous installment). He was met by a frightened woman asking for help – who also informed him he was dead in the real world before launching into a chilling cackle.
What’s most interesting here is that the real Agnes never gave her name and, when called “Agnes” by Vision, she never corrected him with her proper name – which is something she should have done now that we know everyone in Westview is playing a character in Wanda’s fantasy.
Perhaps Agnes doesn’t have an alter-ego because she’s not trapped there like the others (remember how S.W.O.R.D. couldn’t identify her when they were figuring out who all the missing people in Westview were?), and if this is the case, is she really Agatha Harkness in disguise? She was dressed like a witch at Halloween, wasn’t she?
