Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience (Script)

WandaVision

An unofficial script for episode 1 of season 1 of WandaVision, “Filmed Before a Live Studio Audience.”

The description on Disney+ reads,

Wanda and Vision struggle to conceal their powers during dinner with Vision’s boss and his wife."

The episode is mostly played straight, with Wanda and Vision acting out a sitcom plot which could easily have been plucked straight from a 60s sitcom. In fact, the episode serves to establish quite a few patterns for the rest of the season, one of which being that most episodes reflect a different, gradually more modern sitcom, starting here with The Dick Van Dyke Show (1961-1966). There are no major plot revelations or obvious ties to the MCU at large beyond its titular characters, but therein lies this episode’s intrigue, setting up as many mysteries as it can in just over twenty minutes.
