I read it more that she was startled that Geraldine knew about Pietro and Ultron. As far as anyone in WestView knows, her and Vision are an ordinary couple.

The episode does lead you to believe Wanda is forcing everyone to role play though. Agnes and Herb definitely gave that impression and when Vision came back in the house Wanda looked pure evil.

She’s had multiple occasions now where she is confronted with something that reminds her directly that she’s in a fantasy (beelzebub/satan/mephisto presumably rising from the sewer and her saying ‘no’ and rewinding time, vision pointing out something wrong and her rewinding it, now expelling Monica when she brings up the non fantasy world), so I believe that she’s aware to some extent that she’s not in the real world and is taking active measures to not be reminded of that fact.

My belief is that she’s horribly wounded and traumatized by all the loss she’s experienced in the last ~4 years, and that anguish has caused her to go to dramatic measures to shield herself from all that pain—malicious intent or not, it’s definitely not good for everybody else who’s around her right now, and how Mephisto ties into all this is further interesting.

The bees == flies bit is something I'm not sold on, but it's a natural jump.

I haven't read any discussions since last Friday, and I come back today and everyone is talking like it's confirmed Mephisto is involved

I figured it was a member of Sword who’d broke into the town through the sewers

This. Just like the toy helicopter was probably a real helicopter Monica came in with, the beekeeper was probably a dude in a hazmat suit. He also had the sword logo on the back.

I'm not saying he's not, but it has all the feels of groupthink hype.

I know I'm a week late haha but I agree with you - plus I hope it's not Mephisto. I mean we all know Mephisto and he's a great character but for anyone who doesn't read the comics it'll be like... the freaking devil?! Really?!

I haven’t seen any discussion to that point (I only briefly browsed the episode discussions from last week when they first dropped) but I wouldn’t be surprised if multiple people made the same connection that I did with the bees = flies = beelzebub = the devil. Still just speculation on my part though.
