The question remains whether someone else is in charge of reality and blocked Vision seeing the truth, or whether Wanda herself is in charge - and she'll even manipulate her beloved Vision to block out harsh reality.

Throughout episode 3, Wanda unconsciously brings life to various inanimate things, including paper butterflies and a painting of a stork.
In episode 3, the unusual nature of Wanda's pregnancy is clear from its unnervingly accelerated progress, but there are also hints that the babies are in some way artificial.
