Captain [[Monica Rambeau (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Monica Rambeau]], an agent of [[S.W.O.R.D. (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|S.W.O.R.D.]], returns to life following [[the Blip]]{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]'' (2019).<ref name="VultureReview" />}} only to find that her mother, [[Maria Rambeau|Maria]], died of cancer three years prior. Three weeks later, Rambeau returns to work and is told by acting S.W.O.R.D. Director [[Tyler Hayward]] that she will be assigned to terrestrial missions only, as her mother had directed before her death for anyone that returned from the Blip. She is subsequently sent to help FBI agent [[Jimmy Woo (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Jimmy Woo]] with a missing persons case in Westview, New Jersey. They speak to two police officers who insist that Westview does not exist, despite the town's presence directly behind them. Woo explains to Rambeau that he can not physically enter the town due to an unknown psychic force. They discover a hexagonal static [[Cosmic microwave background|CMBR]] field surrounding the town, which Rambeau is pulled into. Within 24 hours, S.W.O.R.D. establishes a base around the town and sends drones to investigate.

Astrophysics expert Dr. [[Darcy Lewis]] is brought in to study the phenomenon. She discovers television broadcast signals coming from the field and, using vintage televisions, finds the transmissions are for the sitcom ''WandaVision''. S.W.O.R.D. personnel useuses the show to observe events inside the town, learning that the real residents have been "cast" as characters, Rambeau is "Geraldine", and [[Vision (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Vision]] is alive despite his death five years prior.{{efn|As depicted in ''[[Avengers: Infinity War]]'' (2018).}} Lewis and Woo attempt to make radio contact with [[Wanda Maximoff (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Wanda Maximoff]]. S.W.O.R.D. agent Franklin crawls through the sewer system in an attempt to enter Westview, but his suit is transformed into beekeeper attire and his tether detaches and turns into a jump rope at the edge of the static field. When Geraldine mentions [[Ultron (Marvel Cinematic Universe)|Ultron]], Maximoff violently casts her out of the town which Lewis and Woo realize is censored from the broadcast. The sitcom illusion disappears, and Maximoff sees her husband Vision appear as he did when he died. Horrified, she restores the illusion. Rambeau wakes up at the S.W.O.R.D. base and is surrounded by agents. She tells them that Maximoff is controlling the illusion.
