I like how we're still not quite sure what Agatha's angle is. She kept asking Wanda "How did you do it?" and Wanda kept saying she didn't, or that she didn't know how. Well, apparently she did it (if the flashback from Wanda's perspective can be believed) but it's also true that she doesn't know how she did it, so it's not like she can explain it to Agnes. But obviously Agatha's a pretty badass witch in her own right, so Wanda has to be careful. That opening scene was great.
Director Hayward is still an asshole. When Wanda first showed up at SWORD, I was almost kinda siding with him. If his organization is in charge of finding out everything they can about sentient weapons, then he's not just authorized to do it, but obligated. Seeing it as serving the greater good and all that. I could even see his point about not taking millions of dollars worth of vibranium just to go bury it somewhere. Since he did not regard Vision as a "person" (for lack of a better term, despite recognizing that Vision is/was sentient), it was an easier decision to make. Sometimes the bad guy isn't "bad"; he just has a different view of things, just as valid. But I kept waiting for the misunderstanding and eventual argument to happen, ending with Wanda getting pissed and just taking Vision's remains with her, and causing a bit of destruction on the way out of there. It would explain why Hayward's been so against Wanda in the first place, how she's dangerous, must be stopped, etc. He doesn't have to be such an asshole about it, but his position would be a lot more valid. But again, if Wanda's version of what happened is credible, and what that final scene seems to imply, she did not do that. She didn't take Visions remains with her. So Hayward faked the footage?
More answers, but still more questions. I like how the show itself keeps evolving. This episode was again very different in tone and presentation from the last three. If this were a story told via feature-length movie, we might spend the first 1/3 in sitcom-land, the next third finally finding out what the heck's going on, and the big conflict and resolution in the final act. I suppose that with nine episodes, that how we ended up with the first three episodes almost entirely in sitcom-land, with just the occassional hints that there's more than meets the eye (although we knew that anyway). Ever since Episode 4, I've been fully on board, and it's been a hell of a ride. I expect the final episode to blow me away.
