WandaVision Episode Guide
"Previously On" is the eighth episode of the American television miniseries WandaVision, based on the Marvel Comics characters Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch and Vision. It follows Wanda as she relives moments of her past that led her to create the idyllic suburban life in the town of Westview. The episode is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In Salem, 1693, Agatha Harkness is put on trial by a coven of witches led by her mother Evanora for practicing dark magic. As they attempt to kill Agatha, she drains the life from them.
In the present day, Agatha interrogates Wanda Maximoff, demanding to know how she is controlling Westview and threatening her with her children's lives. Agatha forces Wanda to relive key moments in her life, including when she and her brother Pietro were trapped in rubble next to an unexploded bomb the day their parents died. In this memory, Agatha deduces that Wanda was born a witch who engaged in basic hex magic as a child, reinforced by Wanda's inadvertent use of a simple probability hex to prevent the bomb from going off.
In the next memory, Wanda watches herself as she is experimented on by Hydra. As she approached the Mind Stone, it reacted to her presence, activating and augmenting her latent magical abilities. Wanda also witnessed an apparition in the Mind Stone's light before passing out. She then relives her first fond memory of Vision, back at the Avengers Compound, as they bonded over being individuals who have come to be alone.
Later, it is revealed that Wanda visited S.W.O.R.D. to try and recover Vision's body. When Director Tyler Hayward showed her Vision's mutilated corpse, Wanda lost her temper and broke into the lab, but left without Vision's body after failing to feel his presence. Finally, Wanda drove to a dilapidated lot in Westview that Vision had bought for her, intending to live there together. In a fit of grief, she used her powers to create a house on the lot, manifested a new version of Vision, and ultimately extended the Hex across the entire town.
Coming out of her trance, Wanda runs outside, only to be confronted by Agatha, who is holding her children, Billy and Tommy, captive. Agatha mocks Wanda for not knowing the full extent of her own abilities before revealing that her powers are actually chaos magic, which makes Wanda the mythical Scarlet Witch.
In a mid-credits scene, S.W.O.R.D. reveals Hayward's "Project Cataract"-- The original Vision, now white, activated using Wanda's energy from the drone she previously destroyed.
