Everyone dresses up like their comic-book counterpart for Westview’s Halloween festivities.
And then things get weird.
This week onWandaVision, we experience another hallmark sitcom trope: The special holiday episode.

What makes this funny is that Vision and Scarlet Witch have two of the worst superhero costumes in history.
Billy’s certainly got his powers intact.
As for S.W.O.R.D., Hayward is a confirmed a–hole now.
Hacking into the S.W.O.R.D.
’s interest as they work on building new weapons.
All they do is handcuff Darcy for trying to help him.
As Vision’s escape attempt leads to his body breaking apart, you’d be forgiven for thinking S.W.O.R.D.
wanted him dead again so they could strip-mine his body themselves.
The red energy field spreads outward, recapturing Vision and stopping his process of decay.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Plus, it’s kinda fun to merge the two sides of the show (S.W.O.R.D.
and Westview) that have so far been as separate as oil and vinegar.
I’m certainly intrigued to see what Darcy’s Westview incarnation looks like.
Last note: What’s up with Agnes?
Until next time, true believers!
Chancellor’s Take:Last week, I joked how I wished Darcy exclaiming “She recast Pietro!”
But anyway, this episode overall left me feeling a little cold and I’m not sure why.
That being said, there’s one moment in this episode that made me sit up.
I lovedKathryn Hahn’s performance in the scene right after Vision woke her up.
The way her excitement over Vision being an Avenger quickly devolved into her repeatedly yelling “Dead!”
and nihilistically laughing was truly unsettling.
