9. What Is Going On In The Real World?

So far, only the fake world of Westview has been properly shown in WandaVision, with little to no hint as to what exactly is happening outside the titular characters' little bubble. SWORD have been called in to take charge of the situation, but what exactly is the situation?

From the questions being asked of Wanda through the radio, it's clear that she is in some sort of trouble or discomfort, but this surely wouldn't be enough to prompt SWORD, an organisation typically involved in other-worldly threats, to get involved.

Something bigger is clearly at play here, but what? Jimmy Woo certainly seemed to be concerned with Wanda's wellbeing, but SWORD wouldn't be there unless there was a threat to more than just one person. Is her condition threatening the safety of others in some way?

If so, how far does this go? In the House of M story arc, Wanda's warped grasp on reality threatens, and indeed damages the entire planet. Is there a risk of similar peril coming to the MCU, or will it be on a smaller scale to that of its comic book counterpart?
