Now living out a 1960s sitcom pastiche, Wanda and Vision rehearse a magic act to fit in at the neighborhood talent show. Wanda spends the day with the show's planning committee under the snobbish Dottie, where a mysterious voice crackles out of a radio directly addressing her before a glass shatters and bleeds in color; Vision, meanwhile, attends a neighborhood watch meeting and accidentally swallows chewing gum. At the talent show that night the gum leaves Vision behaving erratically and flashing his true powers, which Wanda scrambles to disguise as stage tricks, and the couple returns home to find Wanda mysteriously pregnant, moments before a beekeeper rises from a sewer grate and the world lurches into 1970s color.
