4. We Were Seeing What Wanda Wanted To Be Seen

Another key thing to take from this episode is that Wanda is in total control over the village of Westview.

Darcy's monitor that she 'watches' WandaVision on throughout this episode shows exactly what we have been seeing for the past three weeks. This highlights the idea that we have only been seeing exactly what Wanda wants us to see. The role of the audience has been taken by Woo and Lewis in this episode, which allows the actual viewers to understand what is happening just a little bit more.

If the outcome is that Wanda is controlling this town and creating this reality on her own, then it poses the simple question of the limits of her power. On the other hand, it seems like Wanda may have been coerced and manipulated in her fragile state, leading her to live in this fantasy world, far away from anything to do with the Avengers, Thanos or even a world without Vision.

Either way, it appears as though the audience is only being given select portions of her reality so that the truth behind this strange town is not fully revealed.
