WARNING: The following contains spoilers for WandaVision Episode 8, "Previously On," streaming now on Disney+.

Marvel Studios' first Disney+ series, WandaVision, was promising big things before its first episode even premiered. When the series was announced, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed it would lead directly into the upcoming MCU film, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, while series star Elizabeth Olsen said the show would explore the origins of Wanda's superhero moniker, the Scarlet Witch. The series has delivered shocks and thrills since Episode 1, but only in its latest episode has started to delve into the mystical side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where sorcerers and witches dwell.

After leaving viewers with more questions than answers throughout most of its episodes, in "Previously On" WandaVision has revealed the secret origins of Wanda's powers and her life in Westview. With the veil of mystery finally falling away, a clearer image is emerging of the series' place in the MCU and what it could mean for Wanda.

The episode sees Wanda being led on a tour of her memories by a centuries-old witch, Agatha Harkness -- formerly disguised as Wanda's neighbor, Agnes -- who wants to learn the secret behind the creation of Wanda's sitcom world. Unbeknownst to Wanda, the power she had used to create her idyllic version of Westview, and the source of all her powers, is a form of magic. Agatha had realized this and, by the episode's end, identified Wanda's powers as chaos magic and her as the "Scarlet Witch." While the significance of the Scarlet Witch title is not yet clear, this episode marks the first time Wanda has officially been identified as a magic-user in the MCU. Until WandaVision, her powers were thought to be limited to mental manipulation and telekinesis, originating from Hydra's experimentation with the Mind Stone. Episode 8 of WandaVision has revealed that not only is Wanda far more powerful than first thought, but she also possessed supernatural abilities since long before her time with Hydra.

While revisiting Wanda's childhood memories, Agatha helps Wanda realize she had used magic to save her and her brother's lives when their family home was destroyed, as mentioned in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Her encounter with an Infinity Stone merely magnified what was already there. This is an earth-shattering realization for Wanda, upending her entire understanding of her own abilities and who she is. It may also be what leads her to Doctor Stephen Strange. As a magic-user trying to come to terms with exactly who and what she is, it makes sense Wanda would seek out the guidance of a more established sorcerer, such as the Master of the Mystic Arts. Considering this revelation came from the sinister Agatha, Wanda may not even fully believe it and need Strange to confirm it for her. While she has yet to interact with Strange on-screen, both characters were present during the final battle against Thanos in Avengers: Endgame and Tony Stark's funeral, so it is safe to assume they are aware of each other and could get in touch should the need arise.

WandaVision Episode 8

A search for help and understanding could be the reason for Wanda contacting Strange, but what role might she go on to play in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is still a mystery. It could be during this film that she truly accepts the mantle of the Scarlet Witch, as mentioned in WandaVision. Episode 8's flashback to Hydra's experimentation on Wanda suggested this was something that could be seen soon -- the moment she came into contact with the Mind Stone, Wanda experienced a vision of a silhouetted figure wearing the Scarlet Witch's comic headdress. It's possible this was a vision of her future self, with this more comic-accurate costume potentially set to debut in the Doctor Strange sequel, signaling Wanda's embracing of her new identity.

Beyond this, though, there also remains the possibility Wanda could be fulfilling a more villainous role in the upcoming Doctor Strange film. Episode 8's final flashback revealed the truth behind Westview -- Wanda transformed the town into her idealized reality, complete with a fabricated replica of Vision, in a moment of unbearable grief. It seems unlikely the world Wanda has created will survive beyond the series finale, meaning she could lose Vision again, along with her perfect home and potentially even her children. If she again wields her power in a moment of such pain, Westview could prove to be only the tip of the iceberg. While Doctor Strange may be set to traverse the multiverse in his upcoming sequel, it could very well be Wanda who brings the madness.

Written by Jac Schaeffer and directed by Matt Shakman, WandaVision stars Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch, Paul Bettany as Vision, Randall Park as Agent Jimmy Woo, Kat Dennings as Darcy Lewis, Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau and Kathryn Hahn as Agnes.
