Added DiffLines:

* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: Averted, since it is revealed that Westview is located in New Jersey. Although, a sheriff keeping watch of the town says there actually is no such place, but there is an ''East''view. This doesn't explain why there is a sign for the exit leading to the town. It also doesn't explain why there are palm trees seen in the second episode.

** Westview and everyone in it is made to disappear from the memories of anyone with a personal attachment to it/them.
** Anytime a S.W.O.R.D. agent appears or is found out or an external broadcast gets through to Westview, the ShowWithinAShow edits past it.
* PerspectiveFlip: This episode shows how the events of the first three episodes are seen by people outside Westview, who are understandably confused and interrogative of the strange things that go unremarked-upon within Westview.



* StepfordSmiler: By the end of the episode Vision is clearly suspicious about Wanda and their situation. He acts as loving as ever but when Wanda isn't looking his expression becomes more strained and wary.

* StepfordSmiler: StepfordSmiler:
** Wanda, as before. While she plays the part of a cheerful suburban housewife well, it's clear she has a ''lot'' of unresolved baggage stemming from what happened with Pietro, Ultron and Vision, and is actively blocking out anything that might get in the way of her new happiness, however forced or unnatural it may be. When Monica brings up Pietro's death, she seethes with barely contained fury and casts Monica out of Westview.
