If you were intrigued by the first episode and want to know what the second episode brings, here is a review. In this episode we can see a small evolution in which the protagonists of the series live. We can see how Wanda's dream of having a perfect and happy life with Vision begins to have its problems.

This chapter starts in a very funny and hilarious way, since Wanda and Vision are scared in their room by a noise they hear outside. I find it funny to think that both are scared, since they are great superheroes with many powers and that they are easily scared by a noise that ends up being a tree branch in the window, it is hilarious. In this opportunity the introduction of the series makes reference to the series of the time that had an animated intro, particularly it reminds me of series like Bewitched.

Continuing with the episode, the couple trying to fit into their new life, practice for a talent show that is a charity event for the children of the community. In this opportunity, Vision will be a magician called Illusion and Wanda will be his charming assistant called Glamour. One of the tricks for this act will be to make Wanda disappear in a box with a double bottom, but the interesting thing is that, on the front, the box has the symbol of the gem of Vision's mind.

After practicing the tricks, Wanda and Vision separate, she will go to a tea meeting with the women of the neighborhood and Vision will go to a public library for a meeting with the gentlemen to discuss neighborhood safety issues. On her way to the meeting with the women, Wanda hears strange noises outside her house and goes out to find out what it is about and finds among her rosebushes a helicopter (very similar to the Iron Man) with the symbol of S.W.O.R.D. The interesting thing is that even though the series is still in black and white, this artifact appears in a very bright red and yellow color.

Once at the meeting for the children's charity event, Monica Rambeau is presented for the first time but with another identity, Geraldine. Dottie, the committee chairperson, scolds Wanda for her bad manners, you can tell how Wanda is very nervous about fitting in with the women of the neighborhood.

After the meeting, Dottie instructs Wanda to clean up everything about the tea party they had. Wanda tries to make a fresh start with Dottie, but Dottie tells her that she has heard things from her and her husband, to which Wanda says they don't want to hurt anyone, and Dottie replies that she doesn't believe her. At this moment another very strange event happens and I believe that it will be the key to unraveling this whole mystery that is the perfect life of Wanda and Vision and that is that the radio interrupts the conversation with a message that we can sense is Jimmy Woo played by Randall Park about the following question: Who is doing this to you, Wanda?

Finally, the radio breaks and so does the glass that Dottie holds in her hand, but showing blood of color, very similar to what happened with the helicopter before, which Wanda tries to cure her of, but Dottie says that the women referring to that time, take care of cleaning the stains.

For his part, Vision in the library realizes that the meeting of the gentlemen is simply to tell gossip about the town and eat snacks, they offer her a piece of gum that she accidentally eats and causes her system to fail by pretending to be drunk.

Then the second Easter Egg appears, in this case a commercial promoting a watch made by the people of H.Y.D.R.A.

Already in the talent show, Vision starts improvising using her real powers, which is why Wanda has to fix the whole situation by making it look like it's all a fake trick. All this makes this scene very jocular.

After having successfully raffled off their participation in the show for the benefit of the children, Wanda and Vision arrive at their house, but again they start to hear noises, they go out and find that a beekeeper with the S.W.O.R.D. logo on his back is coming out of the sewers and Wanda says NO and they go back, the same facts occur, but without the beekeeper now appearing.

It is because of this scene that I believe that somehow Wanda is the one who is handling this new reality they are living, she does not want to be rescued nor does she want anyone to try to take away this new "happiness" she is experiencing, except now, when at the end of this episode Wanda is shown with a lump similar to a pregnancy.

As a farewell, we see how color begins to appear until it becomes abundant on the screen and enters the 70's.

What will the third episode of this series bring us?
