The final act of WandaVision Episode 3 started cracking the door a little wider into the false pretenses we already theorized were established in the first two episodes of the new MCU show.
While the show continued to pay homage to old-school television shows (this week had a Brady Bunch flavor, and everything was in color!), the reveal of the episode gave me vibes more akin to The Truman Show. During the final clip (more on that in a moment), we see Geraldine as she appears to fall through some portal (or bubble, if you will). As soon as she lands, an entire outfit of agents of some sort come to gather her up. We see a set of huge lights projecting images of some sort, likely the system that's in place to create this false neighborhood setting (which explains why the look of it changes so rapidly).
When she falls, she had Wanda's red magic surrounding her, which begs some questions. Is Wanda fighting back? Wanda questioned who Geraldine was in their final conversation. Maybe Wanda doesn't like what's going on. Or maybe she's afraid of whoever she works for controlling her too much. It's too hard to say yet. At times, it seems like she doesn't accept that this life isn't real, but at other times, she seems like she wants to stay in this protected little bubble.
One thing's for sure, she didn't seem remorseful after their encounter; she makes up an excuse for why she suddenly disappeared to satisfy an inquisitive Vision. She said that Geraldine went home, which is interesting considering the conversation Vision just had with the neighbors about where Geraldine comes from (apparently she has no home; I wonder if Vision will get suspicious of Wanda at all).
During one of their earlier conversations, Wanda mentions to Vision how she's worried about the townsfolk in Westview discovering their "secret." This proved to be a trigger word, as Vision suddenly begins realizing things aren't "right." A quick rewind later, though, and Vision is back to normal. This rewind definitely felt like Wanda triggered it. She was looking at him intently and started getting sad (she almost seemed like she was starting to cry).
However, other scenes implied Wanda may be fighting a battle in her mind. As soon as she mentioned her brother's name, we sense a stark shift in tone, which matched the seriousness of the ensuing conversation. Then, out of nowhere, Geraldine asks if Ultron was the one who killed her brother. Wanda shifts to an accusatory (played well by Elizabeth Olsen). Between their conversation and the neighbors feeding into the conspiracy as they talk to Vision was beautifully executed. We're left with an awkward sense
The Twins
When the show wasn't interrupted by, you know, shocking reality shifts, it was a fun little superhero take on a child-birth episode. Wanda and Vision are oblivious to how a pregnancy timeline should work, which is only made more complicated by the accelerated growth of Wanda's babies - Surprise, they're having twins! Wanda had twins in the comics named Billy and Tommy. Again, Vision is the perfect character to put a humorous spin on the mundane activities.
So after some research (which is what I find myself doing a lot with MCU stories) I discovered that, in the comic books, Wanda's children Tommy and Billy are not real. They are merely constructs within this reality. But if Wanda gets attached to them, she may try to discover a magical way to bring them to life (a la Pinocchio). There are plenty of theories about this out there (Mephisto seems to be the prevailing theory), but I'll leave that for you to discover on your own).
Notes:
-When Wanda says the babies' kick felt "fluttery," the mobile above the crib turns into butterflies. Then she says "Oh, did I do that? I didn't mean to." Curious if that's just an innocent line or if it means anything more. Can she not fully control her powers? It's probably nothing, but later, when she's trying to learn her breathing exercises, she causes her kitchen appliances to go haywire. Then, when her water breaks, the water sprinklers in the house go off.
-The doctor, who was going on vacation, said "Small town....so hard to escape," as if he's not only a victim of the con going on in Westview, but is fully aware of it. The neighbors talking to Vision at the end definitely are aware of something, too, though to what extent remains a mystery.
-The Hydra Soak commercial was a clever play on words.
-The stork metaphor arriving during a child-birth episode was perfect.
-The obvious ridiculousness of the neighboring sawing into the brick wall is perfect symbolism for how flimsy the reality is starting to appear.
