The MCU has hours and hours of stories at this point, so even if you’re a hardcore fan of the franchise, you might need to refresher on everything that’s happened up to this point. But before watching Agatha All Along, you should recall what happened in WandaVision. To fully understand Agatha’s story in Agatha All Along, you need to know the story that came before—WandaVision.
WandaVision is a sitcom-style superhero series that follows Wanda Maximoff after the events of Infinity War and Endgame. She’s lost her husband, Vision, in the battle against Thanos. Now that Thanos is gone and the heroes have won, Wanda didn’t get the victory she wanted. That’s why we have Wanda’s story.
Episode 1 – Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience
The episode begins in a 1950s setting, in the town of Westview, where the newly married couple, Wanda Maximoff and Vision, have moved. They’re trying to fit in with the town, knowing that Vision is an android and Wanda has reality-warping abilities. One day, they notice a heart marked on their calendar, but neither of them remembers what the heart signifies. Vision heads off to work at Computational Services Inc., and Wanda decides that the heart must be for their anniversary.
Their neighbor Agnes introduces herself to Wanda and helps her prepare for their special night. Meanwhile, Vision impresses his coworkers with his speed, but he’s puzzled about what exactly his company does. Vision’s boss, Mr. Hart, reminds him that he and his wife are coming over for dinner. Vision then realizes that the heart on the calendar represents dinner with the Harts.
Vision rushes home to remind Wanda about the dinner, and as they prepare the meal, they hide their powers from the Harts. However, when Mr. Hart questions Wanda about where they’re from and why they moved to Westview, she is unable to answer, and Mr. Hart suddenly chokes on his food. The atmosphere turns uncomfortable, but Vision uses his powers to save Mr. Hart. All of this is happening within the fictional sitcom WandaVision, which is being watched by someone on a TV.

Episode 2 – Don’t Touch That Dial
The second episode begins with a 1960s setting. Wanda and Vision hear strange noises outside their house. They are preparing for the neighborhood talent show, where they will perform a magic act. Wanda spends her day planning the show with Agnes and Dottie, the leader of the planning committee, while Vision attends a Neighborhood Watch meeting, where he accidentally swallows some chewing gum.
Wanda befriends another neighbor, Geraldine, and starts noticing more oddities in their world. A toy helicopter appears in their black-and-white world, colored in yellow and red, and she hears a voice over the radio that seems to be talking to her. She also sees a red bloodstain on Dottie’s hand. Meanwhile, the chewing gum jams Vision’s internal mechanics, making him act as if he’s drunk during the talent show. Wanda uses her powers to make their magical performance seem like simple magic tricks, and she removes the gum to fix Vision.

When Wanda tries to attack, her magic doesn’t work, and Agatha explains that only the witch who casts runes in a space can use magic there.
Agatha forces Wanda to relive key memories to understand how she’s controlling Westview. She learns that Wanda had magical abilities since childhood, amplified by the Mind Stone. Wanda’s love for sitcoms also becomes apparent. After the Blip, Wanda went to S.W.O.R.D.’s headquarters to retrieve Vision’s body, but Hayward refused, as Vision’s body was too valuable. Wanda didn’t feel any life in him, so she left.
Grieving, Wanda went to the plot of land Vision had bought for them in Westview.

Vision explains to White Vision that he is not the true Vision, as having the original body does not make him Vision. Wanda’s Vision restores White Vision’s memories, after which White Vision flies away.
