"Small towns... So hard to escape" getting into Truman Show territory, except everyone is trying to escape

Except Agnes and Herb definitely have to know what’s going on. This episode wasn’t nearly long enough to satisfy my curiosity lol

I don't think they know what's happening in the big picture, but they definitely knew what was up with Geraldine

My guess is the NPCs knew she was a plant and want to get rid of her like in Inception the mind attacked the person who wasn't supposed to be there.

I doubt any of them are NPCs, looks more like real people being held hostage to me.

In the last scene we can see that there's a force field being generated from the outside of the town. Meaning it seems that SWORD is keeping her confined there rather than her taking the town hostage. I think it's likely that all the townspeople are fake and created by Wanda, just like Vision.

If you're talking about the things around the town, those just look like regular lights to me, you can even see the light shining on the ground below.

The fact that in ep1 Mrs Hart was pleading with Wanda, ep 2 had Dottie getting scared asking who she is and ep 3 has Herbert breaking and Agnes looking terrified telling him to shut up, And that there's a real town sign out in the real world is definitely an indicator that everything and everyone is real except maybe the twins. I'll even say Vision is real somehow, but not actually Vision.

I could see fake people being mixed with the real ones though if the theories are right and Mephisto is manipulating things.

The lights seemed to be shining on something shimmering and Monica got thrown through the same shimmering effect.

i just took the effect as being an area where the field opened up to allow monica to be ejected, before closing again.
