One complaint I have, though it's pretty minor:

Wanda telekinetically lifts Monica into the air and tries to slam her against the sidewalk, with Monica protected only by the super powers she doesn't yet realize she possesses. Otherwise, that should have killed Monica... yet literally only seconds later we get a scene that shows that Wanda would never bring herself to kill Monica and that's why she's not yet a full villain. So what was she trying to do before?
I guess the writers would say, well, she would have protected Monica from serious harm the way she did when she threw her out of the town. That's why it's not a major thing, it's just magic, they don't have to explain it. But it annoys me how they go for these things that look cool but don't make sense.

The reality of the Hex is coming apart as is Wanda's own sanity as the fourth wall barely exists in the Modern Family/Office parody this show has turned into.
Now it really is all Wanda, because the intro is basically her name constantly until they tack on Vision's at the end. Kind of sums up the state of their marriage at this point in the sitcom.
So Wanda takes a "me-day" as her entire world comes apart and she has no idea what's going on. I guess I wish she was more empathetic, but it seems to be coming together just how manipulated Wanda was in all this.
I'm glad Wanda stopped pretending that was actually Pietro, and he turns out to be a magic golem more or less, as part of whatever Agatha is up to as far as instigating Wanda (is it for her kids? To increase the Hex?). It seems like Agatha has been half-comforting and half-upsetting Wanda to keep things unstable in the Hex.
Darcy went from being handcuffed to being chained up in the circus, but at least she quickly freed herself.
So Billy's first suspicion of "Agnese" was because she was the only one whose mind he couldn't read?
Somebody talked to Wanda during the interview. Who was that supposed to be?
So the big person Monica was supposed to be talking to...was just some military lady who knew her mom. I'm underwhelmed.
It must be weird for Vision learning all about his old life second-hand...and I was expecting he was going to just fly off from the delays sooner (delays I think were more Agatha than Wanda), but I guess he needed to break the fourth wall first.
Well, of course Monica wasn't going to give up, so she just heads straight into the Hex again to try and stop it and finally gains her comic powers. Now she can see photons.
I heard a lot of voices during that scene of Monica entering the Hex...I thought one of them was Monica as a child talking to Maria, but I couldn't really figure out the rest.
I'd actually be curious to see how a Wanda vs. Monica fight would go, but Monica is probably far less proficient with her powers, especially in a combat sense, to fight Wanda.
So, to the surprise of no one, Agnes is Agatha Harkness and has secretly been behind everything (even Sparky's death), and has the Darkhold (which I'm guessing is the true source of the Hex?). I mean, setting aside how weird it is to see Agatha Harkness as a villain, what a way to reveal she's the villain by having her basically take over the show and showing how she's been manipulating everything.
That damn song is stuck in my head

Ok but Monica went back 2 work supposedly the day after the snap, then ended up in the hex either the same day or the next, Wanda fought Thanos when she came back went to Tony's funeral likely the next day then broke out Vision either that day or the day after and the hex was made their's no time for her to have befriended Agatha that just doesn't add up.
