Episode 4 of WandaVision in the Avengers Universe explains the truth behind the sitcom world that Wanda has created and is living in. The events in the episode are in the real world, happenings just outside the virtual world of the town Westview that Wanda is ruling by her magical power.
Wanda tends to be tough and whoever interupts her virtual show can soon be her enemy.

The episode's main stream follows Monica Rambeau - a member of S.W.O.R.D. revived in the context of what we know being the time to reverse Thanos' destructive snap in The Avengers: Endgame. She runs to find her mother - Maria Rambeau to find out that she died 5 years ago. She visits to S.W.O.R.D.'s headquarters to receive a job assignment from Acting Director Tyler Hayward (actor Josh Stamberg) - who has replaced her mother's position since.
Monica Rambeau's new mission is to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a town named Westview which has 3,892 inhabitants - it is almost wiped out from reality as every memory of it and the residents living there seems to be wiped out. In this mission she works with an FBI agent named Jimmy Woo (actor Randall Park) - a character in Ant-Man.
They stand outside the town's boundaries, Monica deploys a drone that flies into Westview territory and it disappears when crossing the energy wall - it was the colored toy helicopter Wanda captured in the garden in WandaVision Episode 2. Monica steps up to touch her hand on the enegery wall and was sucked into it.
Monica's sudden disappearance causes S.W.O.R.D and many other security organizations to set up a series of research and surveillance bases outside of Westview's boundaries. Four top scientists are summoned to assist, including Darcy Lewis - a character in Thor - she now has a doctorate in astrophysics. Darcy finds out that there is a huge amount of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) in the area. She offers to find an old TV and get a full picture of what's going on in the Wandavision sitcom.
In later developments, S.W.O.R.D also send a person following the sewer to enter Westview - which explains why a man in insect repellent clothing appeared mysteriously from a manhole on the street in Episode 2. With Darcy's suggestion and support, Jimmy Woo also tries to contact Wanda via the radio - this explains the strange voices coming from a radio next to Wanda in Episode 2.
Wanda has created a virtual and perfect world as she dreams of, with the characters living therein being real people. In a moment when magic is neglected shortly, she sees Vision's true face and form: a dead, lifeless robotic corpse with no Soul Stone on his forehead.
If everything is virtual, we wonder if the babies Tommy and Billy just born are real or not?
