To erase all the pain of her real history and push it as far away as possible, but it keeps bubbling back up whenever she slackens her grip In the commercials, if nowhere else

It's interesting that when they're picking baby names she doesn't bring up the idea of naming the kid Pietro (or even Pete) even though Hawkeye named a kid in his honor She picks "Tommy" *because it's generic and has no connection to her*

It's because she refuse to accept that he's dead within the canon of the show. In episode 5, she sorta was....trying to get to that point. In fact, I think we were watching a Very Special Episode about Death. And then...her subconscious rebelled and rewrote reality.

Where the story was going: Wanda: You see, Billy and Tommy, sometimes animals...and people...that we care for...are gone. Like my brother. He died before you were two were born. And...we just have to remember them- *subconcious*: Nope! Imma finding another Pietro!

Or it was going like this: Subconcious: you know this isn’t right, here’s a very special episode to help you realize it Wanda: the same speech Mastermind: Nope! If Vision isn’t enough to keep her let’s get a Pietro to keep her here

Okay, if we want to go into theories, I think it was pretty clear that Agnes, who is probably Someone Else, was trying to get Wanda to reverse death. If she could. I think, instead, Wanda did something else, something much weirder. And I don't think that was any sort of plan.

I also don't think Agnes is any sort of causitive element. Remember, she was the sitcom antagonist at the start, which to me suggest Wanda might have noticed she didn't belong. It doesn't make any sense for her to frame herself that way if the point is to get Wanda to do magic.

I suppose I might have a different interpretation of “antagonist” here, Agnes has always been the most helpful person to Wanda, overly so in the first episode. It suggests to me that if anybody is trying to guide/manipulate Wanda towards doing this Agnes would be suspect #1

No, a sitcom antagonist is not a hostile antagonist. On a 'hiding a secret' type sitcom like the first two episodes, a sitcom antagonist is the one most likely to catch them. It's the person they are hiding from, they're often not actually 'antagonistic' in any sense.

But putting herself in that position, as the person most likely to catch Wanda, wouldn't have made sense for someone trying to encourage Wanda to use magic, which seems to be her goal.

It's notable that Agnes gets demoted to a background character when Geraldine/Monica shows up and steals the "sitcom antagonist" role from her Including the extended sequence in Ep 3 of Wanda concealing her pregnancy from Geraldine

Then as soon as Monica is expelled, Agnes pops right back up into the main cast

Ah, but she's not really sitcom antagonist anymore...which Vision take a bit to catch on to, he's still assumingshe is. I think she moved herself out, leaving a vacuum for Geraldine to get sucked into the role.
