![]() There's reason to suspect Hayward is manipulating the footage because, well, over-powerful law enforcement agencies don't have a great track record in the MCU, and more importantly, why is he just revealing this footage now? This would've been great context for everyone to have in last week's episode. He says her grief drove her to resurrect Vision, thereby violating both the Sokovia Accords and Vision's will, the latter of which wanted to prevent people from using his body as a weapon. To bolster his position, he even reveals footage of Wanda breaking into S.W.O.R.D. During a briefing, Hayward twists Monica's report on her experience in the Hex (and Wanda's history) to characterize her as a terrorist and victimizer so that he could justify taking aggressive action against her. believes Wanda is in full control of the Hex, which is what Darcy has taken to calling the sitcom world because of its hexagonal shape. After Monica returned to the real world at the end of episode 4, everyone at S.W.O.R.D. "A Very Special Episode" also raises more questions about what's actually going on in Westview. ![]() ![]() While the galaxy-brained (multiverse-brained?) Quicksilver cameo is very titillating, it's not definitely not the best thing of the episode. Peters, that's confusing) is clearly playing the same character he portrayed in the X-Men movies and not just Wanda's brother with a different face.

And part of me hopes that's just the in-universe explanation because that would be a chaotic way to explain a retcon of this size. In terms of the show's story, though, it's unclear how this is possible. Don't you love it when TV shows give you homework? For a casual fan who hasn't kept up with multiple cinematic universes, you're probably wondering what the hell is going on and need to do some Wikipediaing.

Disney first revealed some of its plans for the previously-owned Fox characters in December when it announced that Jon Watts was developing a Fantastic Four movie. Now that Disney has subsumed Fox, it can basically do whatever it wants with those characters, but it also has access to mutants and other people that were previously off limits.
