The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.

WandaVision Reminds Us That Wanda Is a Heroine With Red in Her Ledger

lagos reference in WandaVision what does it mean?

The commercials in WandaVision have been fantastic Easter Eggs that speak to organizations and people that Wanda is connected to from the Starks, Hydra, etc. However in the most recent episode we got a slightly darker Easter Egg that hints at Wanda's mental space.
