WandaVision Episode 5: 8 Biggest Questions We Need Answering
The most shocking Wandavision episode yet. What happens next after that massive ending?
-- Spoilers within --
Once the final credits rolled on episode five of WandaVision, it's likely your head is racing a mile a minute trying to figure out exactly what is going on in and around Westview. The series has now crossed the half way mark, leaving fans still just as unsure as to what is going on as Vision himself.
After another week of scrutinising and theorising, the fifth episode of WandaVision has dropped on Disney+ to much the same reaction as the previous four, leaving fans confused, excited, and dying for answers even more so than ever before.
Episode four answered many questions raised by the first three entries in the series, finally showing the events in Westview from outside the barrier, but 'On A Very Special Episode...' has now bombarded fans with a whole hoard of brand new questions. The series is as shrouded in mystery as ever, but with new riddles for fans to try and solve.
Naturally, much of the fallout of this episode revolves the huge bomb that was dropped right at its conclusion, but there was so much more crammed into this half hour than the return of Wanda's brother.
8. Where Is Agent Franklin?
After the first two episodes of WandaVision dropped together, fans were intrigued by the beekeeper's appearance. 'Don't Touch That Dial' ended with the character emerging from a Westview manhole only for Wanda to rewind time and go back to her previous conversation with Vision.
The mystery surrounding the character seemingly vanished when 'We Interrupt This Program' revealed him to be little more than a SWORD agent sent in to Westview to try and rescue Monica Rambeau. His hazmat safety suit changed into a beekeeping outfit when he passed through the barrier, and that was that.
However, when Wanda rewound time in episode two, fans were shown what happened with Wanda and Vision afterwards, but not Agent Franklin. He hasn't been seen inside or outside of Westview since, nor has he been mentioned by any of the SWORD or FBI agents he had been working with.
Time manipulation is not a power Wanda has ever had in her arsenal before, but this made sense in that she has control over the reality within the barrier she set up around Westview. However, if Franklin simply went back to where he was several moments earlier, this would have took him outside the barrier where Wanda didn't have control over time.
How exactly would this work? And even if that was the case, what would have stopped him from just crawling back into the town again? Did Franklin meet a more sinister, permanent fate?
