History Recap / WandaVisionEpisode6AllNewHalloweenSpooktacular

* NoFourthWall: Billy speaks directly to the camera throughout the episode, commenting on his family the way the title character of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' would.

* MediumAwareness: Pietro knows that he died, somehow came back with a different face, and is now in Westview to play the CoolUncle to Tommy and Billy and cause shenanigans for Wanda and Vision.

* MediumAwareness: Pietro knows that he died, somehow came back, and is now in Westview to play the CoolUncle to Tommy and Billy and cause shenanigans for Wanda and Vision.

** The Hex is the only thing keeping Vision alive; as soon as he passes beyond it, he starts falling apart, far more damaged than he was by Thanos killing him.

* BlackComedy: A "flashback" to the Maximoffs' childhood has them getting a dead fish from an old lady for Halloween, while in the background can be heard the sound of gunfire. Because Sokovia was in the middle of a war.

* MythologyGag:
** The costumes Wanda, Vision, Pietro, and Billy all wear are based on their original outfits from the comics, but with the exception of Wanda's (which is pretty close to her comic version), they look intentionally thrown together.
** Tommy and Billy also manifest their powers as per the comics.

In the 1990s, Wanda, Vision, Billy, Tommy, and Pietro prepare for Halloween in Westview.

* TheNineties: The setting of the episode, specifically parodying the likes of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' and ''Series/EvenStevens''.
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Wanda turns the Hex into this when Vision escaped its boundaries and is dying, with it assimilating Darcy and the entire SWORD base with only Monica, Jimmy and Hayward managing to barely escape in their vehicles.

* ArtificialAtmosphericActions: The further Vision gets from Wanda, the less natural the townspeople's actions become. He encounters a man and a woman stuck putting up and taking down the same Halloween decorations over and over, and on the very edges of Westview, everyone is completely frozen in place.
* AscendedFridgeHorror: Partway through, Pietro addresses the previous suspicions about where the children in Westview were. Turns out there were, but Wanda just used her powers to keep them all asleep all this time.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: In the case of Hayward versus Monica regarding Wanda. Hayward, despite his questionable methods and {{Jerkass}} tendencies, is absolutely right that Wanda's a danger and cannot continue to operate unchallenged. Monica, on the other hand, makes an absolutely valid point that they have absolutely no idea what would happen if Wanda dies as she's the only one who can safely end the Hex.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with Wanda expanding The Hex far past the boundaries of Westview as Darcy is enveloped by it, many of S.W.O.R.D.'s personnel are turned into clowns, Jimmy and Monica are on the run and Hayward leaves his men to be assimilated by said Hex as he desperately tries to contact someone.

* CoolUncle: Pietro goes all in on this, volunteering to help Tommy and Billy with their trick-or-treating, using his superpowers to help them pull pranks and cheerfully acting like a ManChild. Agnes seems to be an HonoraryAunt for the boys in a similar fashion. Her sweatpants say "Naughty" on the back.

* HollywoodHacking: Darcy is able to hack into Hayward's top secret files, and no explanation is given as to when or where she learned to do this.

* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: After last episode, Hayward turns out to be willing to kill Wanda, is trying to forcibly recover Vision (or just Vision's body), and when Monica calls him on his behavior makes a shot about her dead mother and has her, Jimmy and Darcy kicked off the base.

* MythologyGag: The costumes Wanda, Vision, Pietro, and Billy all wear are based on their original outfits from the comics.

** Hayward has figured out a way to look through the boundary but ''didn't'' let anyone else know, and he's been tracking Vision. Darcy also discovers, via hacking, that S.W.O.R.D. was working on a top secret weapons programme called CATARACT.

** The Hex is the only thing keeping Vision alive; as soon as he passes beyond it, he starts falling apart.

* StylisticSuck: The Halloween outfits the main characters wear look intentionally bad.
* TheUnreveal: Monica's mysterious aerospace engineer arrives and she leaves with Jimmy to meet him, but the audience has yet to see him.
* WhamEpisode: Hoo boy. This episode confirms that Wanda has a level of power and control far beyond anything we've seen from her before, demonstrated by her expanding the Hex and dragging Darcy and the entire S.W.O.R.D. compound inside. Wanda also states that she doesn't know how she did it, indicating that she may not be acting alone or may be under someone else's influence.

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: Wanda turns the Hex into this when Vision escaped it's boundaries and is dying, with it assimilating Darcy and the entire SWORD base with only Monica, Jimmy and Hayward managing to barely escape in their vehicles.

** Tommy exclaims “kick-ass!” after Pietro offers to help him collect candy, which Wanda then muses on to herself. Film/KickAss was Creator/AaronTaylorJohnson’s – who played the original MCU Pietro – claim to fame, and also starred Creator/EvanPeters.

* AmbiguousSituation: This episode continues to question how much Wanda is really responsible for the Westview Anomaly, as while talking to Pietro near the end, she says that all she remembers before Westview is a massive feeling of loneliness.

* WhamEpisode: Hoo boy. This episode confirms that Wanda has a level of power and control far beyond anything we've seen from her before, demonstrated by her expanding the Hex and dragging Darcy and the entire S.W.O.R.D. compound inside.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The episode ends with Wanda expanding The Hex far past the boundaries of Westview as Darcy is enveloped by it, many of S.W.O.R.D’s personnel are turned into clowns, Jimmy and Monica are on the run and Hayward leaves his men to be assimilated by said Hex as he desperately tries to contact someone.

** One of the kids has a [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Creeper]] beanie on while While playing ''DDR''.''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'', one of the twins has a beanie bearing the face of a Creeper from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', a game that wasn’t first released until 2009.
