*Spoiler warning for WandaVision episodes 1 to 9*
The final episode of Marvel Studios’ WandaVision has finally arrived.
The ninth instalment, The Series Finale, will bring to a conclusion the saga of Wanda Maximoff ( Elizabeth Olsen ) and her ‘Hex’ world that enabled her to reunite with her deceased love, the android Vision ( Paul Bettany ).
Recent weeks revealed that Wanda has transformed the town of Westview into a sitcom reality to enable her to live the happy family life she wants.
However, the outside forces of both military agency SWORD and the powerful witch Agatha Harkness ( Kathryn Hahn ) have threatened to bring Wanda crashing back down to Earth.

So, just how did the series end and what did it all mean?
Also, what about those end credits scenes?
WandaVision ending explained
What was Agatha Harkness’ plan?
It was revealed that witch Agatha Harkness was actually seeking how to access Wanda’s powers as the Scarlet Witch, to be able to spontaneously create through chaos magic.

She also revealed that the Scarlet Witch is more powerful than the Sorcerer Supreme – which at the moment is Doctor Stephen Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch ) – and is destined to destroy the world.
However, Wanda went on to trick Agatha into revealing her plan to drain Wanda of her power before being defeated by the Scarlet Witch herself.
Once defeated, Agatha was forced back into her alter-ego of ‘nosey neighbour’ Agnes and to stay in Westview.
Wanda said that if she needs Agatha’s advice she will come back to her.
Who was Evan Peters’ Pietro Maximoff?
It turns out that ‘Pietro Maximoff’ was actually a Westview resident and actor named Ralph Bohner (yes, really) who was under the control of Agatha Harkness to get close to Wanda.

Through a necklace placed on him, Ralph performed the role of Pietro and even displayed his powers.
Once Monica Rambeau (Teyonah Parris) destroyed this, Ralph was freed from Agatha’s control.
It seems Marvel really was just messing with us by casting Evan Peters once again in the role of Quicksilver after playing Peter Maximoff in the X-Men films from Fox Studios.
What happened with Monica Rambeau?
Monica Rambeau escaped ‘Pietro’ and witnessed the huge clashes between Wanda’s Vision and White Vision as well as Wanda and Agatha Harkness.

Once this was done and Wanda undid her ‘Hex’ over Westview, a conversation saw Monica recognise that if she had Wanda’s power she would have used it to bring back her late mother, Maria Rambeau ( Lashana Lynch ), if she could have.
Monica empathises with Wanda as the people of Westview will never understand what Wanda sacrificed to set the people free.
What happened to White Vision?
After being programmed to destroy the apparently fake Vision, Wanda’s Vision appealed to White Vision’s logic, leading the latter to conclude that neither are the previous Vision.

The White Vision went on to have his memories restored by Wanda’s Vision and saw that Hayward was seeking to utilise him as a weapon.
Remembering all the previous events from the Marvel Cinematic Universe films, the White Vision then flies off and departs Westview.
What happened to Billy and Tommy Maximoff?
After having defeated the threats of Tyler Hayward, Agatha Harkness, and the White Vision, Wanda’s family returned home.

Vision and Wanda tucked sons Billy and Tommy into bed and Wanda thanked the boys for letting them be her mother.
After this, Wanda’s ‘Hex’ was undone and it appeared the twin boys ceased to exist.
However, the end credits scenes hint that we may not have seen the last of the boys…
What happened to Wanda and Vision?
After saying farewell to their suburban life together and being parents to Billy and Tommy, it was time for Wanda and her Vision to say goodbye.

Vision affirmed his love for her and their family, saying that Wanda gave him the chance to return as a memory.
Wanda made clear that he represents all of her grief and trauma but also her strong love for him.
The last of the ‘Hex’ was lifted and Vision dissolves, but they have faith that perhaps they will meet again.
Wanda then departs Westview, and after a talk with Monica, she flies away from the town.
End credits scene explained
The first end credits scene showed Monica interact with Jimmy Woo ( Randall Park ), telling him that Darcy Lewis ( Kat Dennings ) has already left the scene after helping in the apprehending of the corrupt SWORD director Tyler Hayward (Josh Stamberg).
Monica is then taken to a theatre to speak with another SWORD agent.
However, this agent soon transforms to reveal herself as a Skrull and reveals that an old friend wants to meet up with her, proceeding to point upwards when Monica asks where.

This is likely to be Nick Fury ( Samuel L. Jackson ) himself as the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home showed that he was in a SWORD base in space with other Skrull agents.
He previously allied with Monica’s mother Maria and with Carol Danvers in Captain Marvel.
Finally, the post-credits scene showed Wanda relaxing outside an isolated cabin in a picturesque mountain wilderness.

However, inside the Scarlet Witch – appearing to be acting on an astral plain akin to what we saw in the Doctor Strange film – was seen communing with magical forces and looking through the Darkhold book as she appeared with red eyes and enacted further magic.
As she read we could hear the sound of her sons Billy and Tommy calling out for her.
Is Wanda doing something dangerous to bring back her boys?
Will there be a WandaVision season 2?
It has already been suggested by Marvel boss Kevin Feige that there are no current plans for a second run and this makes sense considering the end of the show.
However, the characters are are set to return in upcoming films.

Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff will return in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness opposite Benedict Cumberbatch.
It seems she is messing with magic and given that she is more powerful than Doctor Strange then perhaps the two could be foes rather than allies.
Meanwhile, Monica Rambeau will return in Captain Marvel 2 opposite Brie Larson as Carol Danvers.

The door has also been left open for Agatha Harkness to make a comeback should Wanda ever need her witchy advice.
Finally, the White Vision having his memories of past events restored and choosing to leave the conflict suggests he will make an heroic return at some point.
