Warning! This article contains SPOILERS for VisionQuest episode 8.VisionQuest has ended, with the final episode of the Marvel Cinematic Universe TV show out on Disney+, and with it come major reveals, shocking deaths, and teases for what might happen in the future of the franchise. VisionQuest was the final live-action MCU series of 2026, and the only project fans will have before Avengers: Doomsday releases in theaters on December 18. As such, many expected the show to set up the movie or Paul Bettany's Vision to play a role in it in some form. The VisionQuest finale has now come and gone, and there are direct ties to Doomsday.

What did happen in the final episode of the show was the completion of an emotional arc where Vision, Ultron, and multiple MCU AIs found their humanity. With the release of VisionQuest's final episode, the MCU's WandaVision trilogy, which also includes Agatha All Along, has also come to a close, and it was a fitting finale, which had the kind of superhero action and high-stakes Marvel Studios is known for, but not sacrificing character work for it. After VisionQuest episode 7 set up the finale through the debut of James Spader's The Client, the finale fully explained the character's past and goal.

VisionQuest Resurrects The Scarlet Witch

Many fans hoped that Elizabeth Olsen would return as the Scarlet Witch in VisionQuest, reuniting the Maximoff family in the final release of the WandaVision trilogy. As Tommy and Vision talked following the twin brothers saving their dad, the MCU show teased that Wanda could still be out there with a hopeful line from Vision, who says, "We might say hello again." VisionQuest's second post-credits scene then brought back Olsen's Scarlet Witch, with Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom awakening her after the fall of Mount Wundagore, saying, "Your power will be mine."

This is how VisionQuest sets up Avengers: Doomsday, with Olsen's Scarlet Witch almost certain to appear in the movie and closely tied to Doctor Doom. While Wanda has yet to be confirmed for the film, a set of mysterious Latverian Witches will appear in the upcoming MCU movie, and one of the masked magic users wears red robes. She could be the Scarlet Witch in disguise after her VisionQuest resurrection.

Ultron's MCU Future Is Set Up After A Shocking Death

Many fans grew used to following Vision and Wanda Maximoff's love story in the MCU, but VisionQuest set up a new one between Spader's Ultron and T'Nia Miller's Jocasta. However, the latter was killed when Virgil Horton, aka Phineas Horton's grandson and the real identity of The Client, shot a big role out of her chest. This led to Ultron killing Virgil and nearly killing humanity with Jocasta's nanites in retaliation.

However, by the end of the hour, Vision forced Ultron's hand, getting him to back down. In VisionQuest's post-credits scene, Ultron is set up to live like a human in the MCU, taking on Virgil's identity, given that the original died, and he was Ultron's human persona all along, as Horton's brain was buried in the foundational AI code. Ultron has Jocasta's hard drive, which means he could reassemble her, and as he experiences life as a human, there is a chance the MCU might be setting up Ultron to return as an anti-hero down the line.

Billy Maximoff Returns To The MCU

The biggest surprise in the VisionQuest finale was the MCU return of Joe Locke's Billy Maximoff, aka Wiccan. Ruaridh Mollica's Tommy tried to find his brother, with the two briefly interacting through dream-binding and hugging before their connection broke. That scene also marked the return of Kathryn Hahn's Agatha Harkness, albeit off-screen, as it was implied that Billy was hearing advice from someone about portals, which Tommy questioned, but he wrote it off.

Given how Agatha died at the end of Agatha All Along, this connects with her appearing as a ghost that only Billy can see. Later in the VisionQuest finale, Billy came back in a triumphant return, having mastered the portal spell, and helped save his father, Vision, alongside Tommy. As such, by the end of VisionQuest, Bettany's Vision is finally back with his two sons, now teenagers with their souls reincarnated, and all that is left is one final reunion.

Where Every Other VisionQuest Character Stands After The Finale

So, Ultron is off to experience life as a human and try to rebuild Jocasta, while Vision now has both of his sons back and has embraced all of his memories and the emotions linked to them. Virgil and Jocasta were the two major deaths of the episode, with the latter killed by the former, and Ultron murdering Virgil with a bear hug after using the nanites to manifest his physical robotic body.

As for the others, all the AIs have left Vision's Mindspace to live their own lives, which includes E.D.I.T.H., who warned Paladin and saved him from the RPG at the end of episode 7, which was revealed in the finale, now working alongside him and the super-powered Lisa Molinari as bounty givers, not hunters, helping people. After Ultron seemingly killed her in episode 7, it was also revealed that F.R.I.D.A.Y. was alive and well, now off to find her own place.

Marvel Studios ended the WandaVision trilogy with an exciting segment in the finale called UltraVision, which brought back the sitcom template as Vision tried to convince Ultron to call off the nanites. Given how time moved differently inside Ultron's mind, Vision could go for as many UltraVision episodes it took to get Ultron to stop.

Eventually, he realized it was futile and there was no longer time, so he went for a kamikaze move, burning both of their cores. In order to survive and also keep Vision, whom he sees as a son after all, alive, Ultron relents, triggering the nanobots' self-destruction, but keeping just enough to survive.

The Client's Full Identity Was Finally Unveiled

Finally, after seven episodes of teases and a shocking reveal last week, the VisionQuest finale fully explained who The Client was. He is Virgil Horton, the grandson of Phineas Horton, who created the Synthetic Man. Virgil was Josephine Carrington's husband, being responsible for bringing her back as Jocasta, which he deleted from her memory, and resurrecting Vision as White Vision while he worked for SWORD during the events of WandaVision.

Virgil was also Ultron's human avatar, which came as an effect of his brain scan being buried in the AIs' code. Virgil is dead for good in the MCU, with Ultron now taking his place. That is all for VisionQuest, with the MCU TV show not making it clear when fans will get to see its characters again, but at least players like Vision, Tommy, and Billy should return for a reunion with Olsen's Scarlet Witch in one of the upcoming Avengers movies or elsewhere.
