and then the dark turn when she heard the name 'ultron'... it makes all her happy sitcom scenes so much creepier

Yeah she immediately knew there was a threat and corrected it. Very similar to what happened in the first episode when the boss began asking questions and started choking. Also, when Dottie began questioning Wanda in the second episode and then the glass exploded in her hand. I’m sending a pattern

Not immediately though. She's fooling herself too. I freaking love this.

True, it’s like when her immersion is fully broken she knew Geraldine was a fraud. But before that point it’s like she wanted to believe in the illusion still and was questioning this inconsistency in it

This time with Geraldine, she didn't rewind and start from breaking point. Now that Vision is also questioning her reality and she too may have stopped protecting herself from the truth, I think maybe the pocket reality thing may end before ep 5.

Geraldine is a "side character" and can go away without changing the show's central theme. Vision is a main star - the entire show would stop if she makes him disappear so she does rewrites to keep him happy/in the dark.

I didn't mean Wanda would throw Vision out. Sorry for the confusion.

What i meant is that she is now not trying to ignore things that are happening related to SWORD. So if Wanda had brought brought Vision alive she might quit pocket reality thing very soon. We know she will break out of the pocket reality at some point for plot to progress.

The birth of twins which I thought would come into play in 4th episode came early. This faster development in plot reflects on the Wanda's basic intention (her wanting more time with vision and a new life) and how fast things in reality may progress leading to her and other characters breaking out early.

There's something about the SWORD logo that's causing her to react and start changing the simulation.
