Her primary goal in Multiverse of Madness was to reach another universe where she could reunite with her children, Billy and Tommy. After all, the boys from her own universe seemingly disappeared along with the rest of the family she created inside the Westview Hex in WandaVision . But were they ever really gone?
Marvel's new Disney Plus series, VisionQuest , follows White Vision (Paul Bettany) as he grapples with his identity. Following Vision’s death in Avengers: Infinity War , S.W.O.R.D. rebuilt the synthezoid as an emotionless weapon, but Hex Vision (the version created by Wanda in Westview) was able to unlock his memories during their confrontation in WandaVision . The first two episodes of VisionQuest were released Tuesday night. In them, we learn that Vision has tried to live a peaceful, quiet life in Edinburgh. At night, he interacts with various other artificial intelligences — like J.A.R.V.I.S., F.R.I.D.A.Y., and even Ultron — existing in a mindscape he’s created for himself.
During an early conversation with Ultron, Vision dismisses Westview as pure fantasy. “Bullshit,” Ultron replies. “It’s just a deep, scary well of emotions you can’t handle. Isn’t that the point of this mindspace?” Ultron insists that Vision is afraid to confront the truth. And by the end of VisionQuest episode 1, that truth has become impossible to avoid: Tommy somehow exists in the real world, outside Wanda’s Hex. A bounty hunter called Paladin (Todd Stashwick) has his sights set on Vision and quickly tracks down Vision's son to use as bait.
If you didn’t watch Agatha All Along , this revelation will make practically no sense. That other Disney Plus series establishes exactly how Wanda’s supposedly imaginary children could survive the destruction of the reality that created them and even how Tommy acquired the new body he inhabits in VisionQuest .
Major spoilers for Agatha All Along follow.

Identified only as “Teen,” the boy helps Agatha break free from the spell Wanda placed upon her at the end of WandaVision . He then persuades her to assemble a new coven and travel the legendary Witches’ Road, which supposedly rewards any witch capable of surviving its trials.
Teen’s identity is initially concealed by a magical sigil that prevents witches from hearing him say his name or learning any…
