This week's episode of WandaVision took us into the stunning technicolor of the 1970s for a very Brady Bunch-flavored turn of events: Wanda's pregnancy, as revealed last week, was progressing along at a breakneck pace (just in case there was any doubt at all left in your head that there's something seriously messed up with Westville and, you know, reality as a whole in this show).
