Warning: Contains SPOILERS for WandaVision premiere.

The ending of WandaVision episode 2 introduces a mysterious beekeeper - who does he work for, and why does Scarlet Witch hide his identity? Marvel Studios is back after an extended hiatus with the Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany-led series. Debuting with a special two-episode premiere, WandaVision leans on its sitcom inspiration with hints of a broader and darker story unraveling. Much of the first two episodes of WandaVision was focused on establishing the titular lovers' life as newlyweds settling in the suburbs. But amidst the nostalgic references to classic sitcoms like I Love Lucy and Bewitched, not to mention the spectacular back-and-forth between Wanda and Vision that made everything feel so lighthearted, the show also made it clear that not everything is how it appears to be.

There were a few indications peppered throughout the outings, including the colored helicopter landing on Wanda's front porch and the voice coming out of the radio calling for her. But, arguably the biggest clue that something's not right in Westview came towards the final moments of episode 2 where Wanda and Vision found a man wearing a beekeeper climbing out of a manhole on their street. Vision was obviously curious about finding who the beekeeper was, but interestingly, once Wanda spotted him swarmed by bees, she suddenly rewound what was happening before they were distracted by the character's unexpected arrival.

So, who was the beekeeper? While WandaVision didn't reveal the character's face, he was sporting a beekeeper suit that has the SWORD (which now stands for Sentient Weapon Observation Response Division) logo on the back, hinting that he is one of the agents from Nick Fury's newly-established organization. As previously confirmed, the MCU's newest group will factor in WandaVision with the likes of Darcy Lewis, Randall Park, and a grown-up Monica Rambeau working in it. That said, this particular operative wasn't one of them. For starters, Monica was already inside Wanda's fantasy world, while the other two were more likely monitoring from outside. WandaVision's credits revealed that the beekeeper was played by Zac Henry who has been in a string of Marvel projects, most notably in Agents of SHIELD as TAC Team Agent #1. Considering that they cast someone who has been in the MCU before, then it's likely his identity isn't really what's significant about him, but what it meant when he made it into Westview.

What the beekeeper represents was exactly why Wanda altered what should be the natural progression of events to hide his identity from Vision. From the get-go, it's clear that this perfect world is only a result of her imagination coupled with her reality-warping powers. Once Scarlet Witch realized that the beekeeper's arrival signified that the bubble that she created to protect her fantasy had been infiltrated, she panicked and tried to make sure that Vision didn't learn about what exactly is happening in Westview.

Wanda manipulated time in a way that looked like she simply rewound a video and brought it back to before they were distracted by the beekeeper's arrival. Moving forward from this point, they didn't hear him again, hinting that she altered the succession of events so they can focus on the good news that she is pregnant, not to mention preserve her lie. The beekeeper ties into the red and yellow helicopter that mysteriously crashed on her front lawn which also had the same logo on it, as well as, the voice of Park on the radio calling her. SWORD is attempting to reach out to Wanda, as she might unknowingly be putting a lot of lives in danger.

As misguided as it was for Wanda to try and protect this little world she created around her on WandaVision, it's not fair to just lay the blame on her. She's been through a lot of tragedies in her lifetime, including Vision dying twice in front of her. Her actions are mainly her way of coping with the loneliness that she's feeling not really having anyone in her personal life past the Infinity Saga. What remains to be seen is just what lengths she's willing to go for this endeavor.
