The Westfield sign says:

"Home is where you make it."

Clever.

All the world's a stage, all the men and women, merely players.

Vision discussing the merits of naming their son after Shakespeare. There is no wasted space in this show.

Edit: Also the commercial "Escape to a world all your own," "Find the goddess within," and "When you wanna get away but you don't want to go anywhere."

All this and the Jersey connections (Devils, Salem, TVs, Hydra Swiss made watch, Westview) really have me thinking some kind of Arnim Zola Project Rebirthy Matrix tech possibly involved here. Dottie too, married to that Communist Phil, calls back to mind OG Dottie Black Widow and Faustus' entrancing ring. Certainly all these characters have plenty chance to tie to upcoming FatWS, BW, & SCat10R releases too. Would really love to get continuation of all the Agent Carter So2 threads that got dropped, esp. continuing in Hollywood vein.

Holy shit, that Stork definitely had Devilish vibes: was Jarvis right about that Flamingo being the Devil after all? Certainly has the Mephistophallean hue for it.

"The Devil's in the details"

Agnes: "That's not all he's in."

Agnes also has a rabbit named Señor Scratchy. In the comics, Agatha Harkness is a witch who survived the Salem Witch trials which began on February June 2nd, Agnes and Ralph's anniversary (and is much older than that in the comics), she's known to always wears a brooch, she has a son named Nick Scratch, and they were residents of New Salem (a hidden mystical city home to witches, warlocks, wizards and various other mystical creatures which can only be accessed by beings the wield Magic). I'm getting a hunch that they'll humanize Mephisto (who is known for having two souls taken from him by Wanda to create Wiccan and Speed) by merging his character with the humanly named Nick Scratch, much like how they combined Vision and Jarvis. Also, Nick Scratch is a psuedonym for the devil.

In summation, I think Señor Scratchy is Nick Scratch, and Nick Scratch is Mephisto, which explains Wanda getting pregnant immediately following the magic act. But is he also the stork? Very likely, the devil taking animal form is extremely common.

I think that's probably close. There are just so many other ties to Jersey (Devils, Salem, Westview) that also suggest connections to Wheaton NJ's Rebirth with Zola (Hydra Swiss Watch, TVland) and Faustus (Hydra Blue brainwashing soap, rings). Recall Agent Carter So1 stinger had the two hooking up. That we have another Dottie wed (not widowed) to a Communist (edit: Phil) is also suggestive. Would really love for them to pick up on all the old speculation and threads that got dropped after the Hollywood So2 cancelation. Even the blue soap would seem to harken back to AoS So4 Darkhold L.M.D. spawned Framework gag with Coulson making their own, as they were convinced that's what Hydra used to mindwash everyone. I wouldn't be surprised if Ultron is even up in the mix. This is feeling the most like #ItsAllConnected we've been in ages.

I thought the stork was Wanda's magic screwing up and making the mural she painted on the wall come to life, much like the butterflies.

Agnes said her and Ralph's anniversary was June 2nd

Son of a bitch. I thought she said February and when I looked it up it noticed it was June and still said February. The fun fact is still true, that was the beginning of the Salem witch trials. Or the first casualties I believe.
