Hayward tells her she doesn’t have what it takes to do this job and tells the soldiers to get her, Darcy, and Jimmy off the base. Hayward angrily tells Monica that she doesn’t know what it has been like for the last five years and that he knows her history with Carol Danvers, believing she can’t be objective when it comes to “super powered individuals.” Monica tells him he’s using what happened as an excuse to be a coward. Hayward doesn’t want to appear to “surrender” to Wanda, but Monica correctly notes that antagonizing her without a clear plan is only going to make things worse. Monica points out that they have no idea what will happen both inside and outside of Westview if Wanda is injured or killed. Outside Westview, Monica, Jimmy, and Darcy confront Hayward about the missile. He even supplies a costume for himself and Tommy, which looks like his signature comic ensemble. Pietro jumps in and says he’ll happily act the role of a father figure for the evening.
She recovers quickly, telling Vision that since it’s the twins’ first Halloween, he should be there. Wanda, still thrown off balance, says Pietro is “full of surprises.” Vision tells Wanda he’ll be working with the neighborhood watch tonight, which surprises Wanda since he didn’t tell her. Wanda teases him and thanks him for wearing it, and Vision tightly smiles as he says “well, there were no other clothes in my closet.” He shakes it off quickly and jokes that Pietro is great with kids as Pietro starts a burping contest with the twins. But, um, the concept of reality here is a very flexible one.Vision arrives downstairs, also wearing a costume based on comic book Vision attire.
#Wandavision episode 1 explanation series#
Because 1956 was a leap year, August 23 skipped from Tuesday the year before to Thursday do I think this means Episode 1 takes place in the year 1950? Nope - to me, it's far more interesting to think that this is Wednesday, August 23, 1956. (I'm being anal about this because The Dick Van Dyke Show, which is another huge reference point here, originally premiered in 1961.)Īnyway, I was looking up what specific year in the 1950s would August 23 have fallen on a Wednesday, and the answer is that it only happened once, in 1950. I'll leave you with a fun thing I discovered while doing my research: Creator Jac Schaeffer confirmed in a new featurette that the specific era in which Episode 1 is set is the 1950s. It's an episode where its simple surface layer hides a crap-ton of secrets, and all we know at this point is that we're hooked to learn what happens next. Key to this is Vision being quick on his feet with some musical interludes, specifically hot tracks like "Yakety Yak" and "Old MacDonald." When Vision and the Harts walk into the living room, staged for the 1950s version of seduction, it's a moment so perfectly drawn from the sitcom tradition of conflict driven by misunderstandings that I remembered watching shows like this when I was very very young, and running out of the room anytime a show leaned hard into this sort of awkwardness.ĭespite the goof-up, Wanda and Vision do their best to improvise a somewhat magical evening happen for the Harts, with some major help from Agnes (who just so happens to have the ingredients for an entire gourmet dinner on hand). After calling Wanda to make sure she "remembered," Vision stays focused on a question he can't answer: What is it he does at work, exactly? Beyond computations, that is, which his coworker Norm ( Asif Ali) notes he does like "a human computer." Vision objects: "I'm a regular carbon-based employee made entirely of organic matter, much like yourself!" Hart ( Fred Melamed), because as the new guy he's obligated to throw a dinner party that night for both Mr. Unfortunately, at the office, Vision discovers that the heart symbol actually was a reference to his boss Mr.
