The story followed up on a tease/Easter Egg first given in “Episode 1”
by going back to a new version of the Salem Witch Trials from 1693, this helped put Agatha’s rise to power on full display. Additionally, extra plot points from Wanda Maximoff’s past adventures were explored in detail,

WILL “EPISODE 9” SEE WANDA GO FULL WITCH?
Marvel Studios has done a tremendous job throughout
WandaVision
of giving Easter Eggs connecting to its central characters while also teasing the imminent future.
Early promotional posters for the series teased each leading hero with a few of their costumes utilized in different decades of the sitcom-style episodes. Wanda’s posters were fascinating due to the hints that she would be receiving a costume upgrade by the time
WandaVision
came to an end.

Finally, seeing the scene where the Mind Stone changed Wanda was exciting not only for the way it fleshed out her origin story but also for how it paid tribute to her comic roots and laid the foundation for her future. After seeing her comic accurate costume in “Episode 6,” this next wardrobe change should come as a pivotal moment as she takes on
her biggest challenge yet in Agatha Harkness
.
All will be revealed when the season finale of
WandaVision
premieres on March 5, 2021.
The first eight episodes are available to stream now on Disney+
