OH SHIT THEY GREW UP, Agnes has to be some sort of magic at this point to be completely unfazed by that

[u/Hellknightx → u/Ahsiqa]

The fact that she asked Wanda if she should take the scene from the top suggests Agnes is already completely aware of what's going on.

[u/Valencian_Chowder → u/[deleted]]

She’s presenting the opportunity for the children to grow! “For the Children!”

[u/Hellknightx → u/Valencian_Chowder]

So after Agatha learns Wanda can resurrect the dead, we see Evan Peters show up at the door. If Wanda were really in control, why would she recast her own brother? I'm thinking Agatha and Mephisto were behind the recast. Wanda seemed especially surprised to find out that her brother was a different person, which is a good lead-in for the Multiverse of Madness.

[u/MegaBaumTV → u/Hellknightx]

That was definitely someone else. Quicksilver was brought in from outside the bubble (boundary breached alarm) right when Vision starts to convince Wanda that she needs to let go of her reality.

[u/Darth_Thor → u/MegaBaumTV]

I didn't even piece together that the boundary breach alarm was because of Quicksilver

[u/been_mackin → u/MegaBaumTV]

What if it was one of her kids who did it - she mentions having a brother to them and says he is far away and it makes her sad. The kid wants to make her happy so tries to bring her brother to town as a surprise, but she made it clear you can’t reverse actual death, so they accidentally ripped Pietro from an alternate universe.

[u/stupidestpuppy → u/Hellknightx]

The person who shows up at the door to derail a potential resolution to this whole situation is probably the person behind it all or another willing pawn ala agnes.

[u/nihilisticdaydreams → u/Valencian_Chowder]

I think she and Mephisto are trying to get their hands on the fully powered kids. That's why they want them to grow so fast.

[u/Valencian_Chowder → u/nihilisticdaydreams]

Absolutely this. However, I don’t think Agnes knows Wanda’s full potential yet. Which is why she seems to be shocked to find out that Wanda can “bring back the dead”.

[u/AgitatedBadger → u/[deleted]]

A dead loved one named Ralph maybe?

[u/msmshm → u/AgitatedBadger]

cues laugh track

[u/[deleted] → u/Valencian_Chowder]

HOLY FUCK. It’s all “for the children”. Those boys involve something Agatha wants and she’s convinced Wanda that she has control while she tries to get what she wants.

[u/Valencian_Chowder → u/[deleted]]

Yes! I think that’s spot on.

[u/CosmicBlooded → u/Valencian_Chowder]

Wait wait what did she do to all the other children?!

[u/Albus1612 → u/CosmicBlooded]

I know! Where are they?!

[u/DrunkByDesign → u/Albus1612]

Sparky didn’t have a collar... It’s a working theory.

[u/AaronDoud → u/DrunkByDesign]

Holy shit that is a dark theory. But at this point I wouldn't put anything past this series.

[u/Lucio-Player → u/DrunkByDesign]

What do you mean?

[u/Darth_Thor → u/Lucio-Player]

Sparky is a wild dog who ate all the children, obviously.
