One of my admittedly minor gripes about the show is not giving both Wanda and Vision more to do. It's hard to do that when Wanda's whole motivation has been (seemed to be, anyhow) to stay in this world and avoid the outside, and Vision's whole motivation has been "what's going on here?" I've thought the stuff outside the Hex, especially Monica's stuff, has been easily my favorite stuff on the show, because they have clear goals to accomplish, new obstacles, new emotions, etc.

And in the Malcolm episode, you don't just get the good stuff outside the Hex, you get Wanda dealing with Pietro's appearance and Vision trying to get out of the Hex. New obstacles, new goals. It just felt like an episode of progression, which is, to me, always more satisfying.

I have no clue how I would "rank" the episodes, lol. I just really enjoyed the Malcolm one a lot.
