WandaVision season 1 episode 2, titled "Don't Touch That Dial" takes viewers back into the surreal, nostalgic world of classic sitcoms as Wanda Maximoff and Vision continue to navigate their suburban life in Westview.
The episode opens with Wanda waking up next to Vision and realizing that it's their anniversary. She wants everything to be perfect for their special day, so she plans a romantic breakfast for two. However, things quickly take a comedic turn as Vision begins to display odd behavior caused by a gum stuck in his gears.
As they go about their day, the couple comes in contact with their nosy neighbor, Agnes, who is eager to help them plan the perfect anniversary. Later, they attend a talent show hosted by the Westview Neighborhood Watch, which turns out to be more chaotic than expected due to a mix-up with Vision's magic act.
Throughout the episode, there is a recurring theme of glitches and malfunctions, further suggesting that not everything may be as it seems in Westview. This suspicion is reinforced by the mysterious radio broadcast that interrupts the talent show, as well as the sudden appearance of a strange beekeeper.
Like the first episode, "Don't Touch That Dial" is filled with nods and references to classic sitcoms from the 1950s and '60s. However, the cracks in the façade of their perfect world continue to show, leaving viewers anxious to see what will happen next.
