What the Wanda is going on?! Is what everyone was saying after Episode 6:

All-New Halloween Spooktacular! This last episode was something I was looking forward to seeing for a long time, because the previews and trailors made it seem like the episode that would feature these halloween costumes would be a paramount part of the series or season. And this episode did not disappoint. Although, it turned out way different than I had enVisioned it or how I would even have expected it to turn out. Pretty much at this point, all theories that have been talked about are still up for debate and the series could still go in any direction. All we know is that we are reaching a breaking point in the series.

Let’s talk about Pietro. It is pretty obvious that he just feels weird in the show, even though it does have a cool vibe in the credits that he is the uncle who is hanging at the house; it gives a large united family kind of vibe to the “Vision in the Middle” version of a TV show inside of a TV show. But when you rewatch the show, you can see why his character seems odd. He looks very suspicious throughout the show, with his eyes letting the audience know that he is ease-dropping at moments, and really seems like he is trying to seek out information from Wanda.

What ever happened to the Bee Keeper?

The question has come up as to what happened to the Bee Keeper, but with so much going on it is easy for it to slip our minds. The Bee Keeper I am referring to is the SWORD agent who went through the sewers into Westview (I really hope he wasn’t closterphobic — that was painful to watch). He popped out of the manhole in Episode 2 and Wanda said “No!” Afterwards, the footage rewound and nobody knows what happened to the man. Was he kicked out of West View like Monica Rambeau? Or did he go on to play a part in the West View production of WandaVision?

It is possible, that maybe, he went on to play the part of Pietro, Wanda’s late brother. During many of the episodes her brother was brought up which definitely filled her emotions with grief. In Epsidoe 6, the explanation we got for why Pietro’s return was that she was “calling for him.” Maybe it is possible with an empty part of the Bee Keeper, and the role of Pietro needing filled, this man took on that role.

The Bee Keeper playing the role of Pietro could make sense for a couple reasons. For one, Pietro is asking Wanda a lot of questions as to how and and why the West View anomaly is happening. She is pretty much being interrogated by this guy. Another thing we learn is that there is a tracker on Vision, and having a man on the inside would allow that tracker to be put into place. Plus this would close up the hole into what happened to the Bee Keeper.

A lot of people think that Pietro could be Mephisto in disguiese, which for many other reasons would make sense, such as Pietro having super powers and the ability to not be affected by Wanda. Pietro also makes references to the children being “demon spawn,” which might make more sense dialog-wise for a character like Mephisto to say. However, someone who may be working with an agency against Wanda (like a SWORD agent) could possibly say something like that. In this case the reference would be that the Bee Keeper might think Wanda is evil and the such a statement would be less literal and more subjective.

This theory of Pietro being the Bee Keeper is just a theory for the fun of it. I could definitely see writers trying to write a script to make us think that it is one person and yet it is another person impersonating Pietro. At this point really anything is up for grabs and we are all on for the ride with Episode 7 coming to us this Friday.

One other thing that might also be worth thinking about is the time passing through the sitcoms. The jump from the “I Love Lucy” / “Dick Van Dyke” style show to “Bewitched” / “I Dream of Genie” inspired show to even the “Brady Bunch” / “Three’s Company” parody was a lot less of a span of time, than jumping to the “Family Ties” spoof show, and especially the take-on “Malcom in the Middle” style of a show. The earlier shows, would have had spans of a handful of years in jumps, whereas the 80s style sitcom was a jump of a decade, and the last episode which is in the style of “Malcom in the Middle” is nearly 20 years! We pretty much skipped the 90s in WandaVision, and that is pretty disappointing. This may correlate with the commercials that talk about time, such as the Stark Industries Toaster (cooks meatloaf too), or the Strucker Watch, or even the disturbing commercial about Yo-Magic! which didn’t even have the normal commercial folks in it.

Who are those people in the commercials anyways? Are the residents of West View? Maybe news anchors? Are they people from Wanda’s past?

In this modern World where we can watch almost anything any time, it is fun to be able to speculate while we wait.
