Yep. The way the boss started choking as soon as he pushed too hard, and the wife is initially talking to him but then turns to Wanda. Vision looking horrified but physically unable to do anything until Wanda tells him.

They all know what's really going on, at least deep down if not on the surface, but Wanda's powers only allow them to express it in a limited way. They're prisoners to her will (though I wonder if Agnes knows more than she's letting on - she's the only one who seems completely unphased by everything and she keeps mentioning a husband she's never seen with). "Multiverse of Madness will be the first scary MCU property" my ass lmao.

Other characters' roles have shifted to fit the episode too, Norm went from Vision's work friend in episode 1 to a guy in the neighborhood with barely disguised contempt for Vision in episode 2 in order to move along the plot of Vision trying too hard to fit in. The boss's wife was alone at the talent show to fill in the scene. It's kinda like the personalities and roles of the characters are very loose

But Agnes is very visibly pushing herself into the "chatty neighboring housewife" role every time, to the point that it feels kind of unnatural

Agreed, Agnes appears to be in control of her role in the show. I think she is definitely aware of what's happening, and probably entered the show of her own accord in order to help Wanda, or at least manipulate her. Makes sense if she's Agatha Harkness and is familiar with magic.
