Who’s saying what
- Analysts
- Bam Smack Pow noted Marvel released the first six episodes in pairs but spaced the final two a week apart to give them the spotlight, and said episode 8 ends both the show and the WandaVision trilogy.
- Analysts
- cleveland.com said episode 7 puts Vision on a collision course with two increasingly dangerous artificial intelligences and brings the mystery around Thomas Shepherd closer to a resolution.
- Analysts
- Den of Geek said that with a supervillain pact formed between Ultron and Jocasta, the penultimate episode swerves away from heroic battles toward philosophical discussion.
Still unverified
Finale spoilers reportedly leaked online a week before episode 8; whether Thomas Shepard is Vision's son reincarnate is described only as a possibility.
