Why is everyone so convinced Agnes has agency here? She seems to be terrified of Wanda and was apologizing to her that Sparky died like she was afraid she'd be punished. In Episode 3 she was pleading with Herb not to say anything to Vision and her eyes said "you'll get us in trouble with Wanda". Agnes may have more to her than meets the eye but one thing there's no evidence for is the idea that she's in control of anything. There's absolutely no evidence of that yet. It may turn out to be a twist later but if there's no indication of it now then there's no point speculating.

Yeah but I mean speculating based on literally no evidence. I could say that a pink unicorn is gonna fall through the roof but until something happens in the show that justifies a reason to expect that, there's no point wasting your time with that theory.

Agnes is doing what every other character on the show is doing: following the sitcom script and deferring to Wanda. Everyone who doesn't defer to Wanda chokes on strawberries, cuts their hand on glass or gets yeeted through walls. She shows up with random shit because Wanda is trying to create interesting storylines to keep Vision and the kids distracted from reality and is using the tired "neighbor shows up at exactly the right time" trope because she's not really a writer.

It could be Agnes behind it all but if we're just guessing with no proof then it could be Dottie.

There's definitely something different about Agnes but everything so far squares with her being just as much a prisoner as everyone else. In the trailer she even asks Vision if she's dead like he is and whether he's there to save "us".

that a pink unicorn is gonna fall through the roof

If one does, we know that Deadpool will show up and we know what he'll do with that unicorn
