Spoilers for 'WandaVision' Episode 8 'Previously On'

The Scarlet Witch is finally seen in all her glory. Except, it's for barely a couple of seconds. 'WandaVision' shows the tragic and painful past that gives Wanda (Elizabeth Olsen) her powers and how she acquired them. While we did know that she and her brother, Pietro Maximoff (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), volunteered to work with HYDRA, what we didn't know was how the Mind Stone gave Wanda her abilities. Just before the stone gives her the powers, a brief glimpse of the Scarlet Witch is seen.

This sent fans into a tizzy as they heaped generous praise on how Marvel Studios went about the whole business. The episode promises one final face-off between Agatha Harkness (Kathryn Hahn) and Wanda, but not if the White Vision has anything to say about it.
