4. Why Are There No Other Children In Westview?

As the series has gone on, Vision has slowly but surely started piecing together the fact that he is in the middle of something strange. From weird interactions with other Westview residents to the fact that he remembers nothing from before moving to the suburbs, he knows that something is not right.

Episode five saw him finally confront Wanda properly, accusing her of controlling the entire town and intriguingly, questioning why there are no children in Westview other than Tommy and Billy. The conversation soon took another turn, but this is certainly worth thinking about.

If SWORD Director Hayward is to be believed, Wanda has over a thousand people trapped in Westview, with surely a decent chunk of these being children. Yet before the birth of the twins, not a single one had been seen.

What exactly has Wanda done to the kids of Westview? If she had let them go, surely the authorities would be overrun with reports of missing parents, but if they are still within the Hex, they seemingly don't have free run of the town.

This also raises further questions about episode two. Dottie and the other residents put on a talent show to raise money 'for the children', but how would this work when there aren't any there to raise money for in the first place?
