I'm still trying to figure out how time works inside the Hex. I thought time of day was more or less parallel to the outside and that there was one dacade per sitcom episode, and one sitcom episode per day, but now I looked deeper into that and am confused.
Day 1 started out in the 50s and, as far as we know, the sitcom is broadcast live.
I assume it's day 2 when Jimmy and Monica arrive outside Westview, Monica is sucked in, Hayward sets up the base.
ETA: Moved Darcy's bit to the next day. I shouldn't just have skimmed through the episodes. Only noticed while taking caps that it says "24 hours later" when Darcy is on her way to the base.
Day 3: Darcy picks up the first episode's signal. Wanda probably needed a day 2 days to reorient herself to get the sitcom going. Still on day 3 (Jimmy speaks of having met Monica the day before) Darcy and Jimmy spot "Geraldine" in the 60s. Or maybe it is still the 50s, as Darcy says. That bit wasn't in the sitcom episode we got to see, so I'm confused. The decade hopping (which interestingly reminds me of some X-Men movies) seemed to happen daily/between every episode. But Darcy says that Wanda doing the dishes "by her count happens once an episode", so she's seen at least 2 episodes. Thus there have been at least 2 episodes set in the same decade. Darcy says she has an idea and we cut to outside of a tent. I think we can assume that it's still the evening (or morning?) of day 3 (We can indeed, because before they went outside, Agent Beekeeper went into the sewers and only emerged after the contact scene) when she and Jimmy try to contact Wanda. For Wanda it's daytime in the 60s. And there were 3 episodes in one day.
Then I guess it's day 4 and the 70s: It's day when Wanda expels Monica from the Hex, but outside of it it's night.
It's daytime in the real world, so presumably it's day 5 when the 80s episode happens and Hayward briefs the team. He says the footage of Wanda in the SWORD HQ is from 9 days ago, but that happened on day 1. Is Hayward lying again and what would be the point? Or have there really been 5 more days in between? Were they spread out between the days we've seen or did all of them happen between the creation of the Hex and Jimmy & Monica arriving (which would make that one day 7)? How often would one check on a protected witness? Did Wanda spend a whole week in the 50s? But if the sitcom was broadcast live, that means that the first episode wasn't the first. Also on day 5: Wanda deals with the armed drone during daytime, but outside of the Hex it's night.
To continue with the previous counting, even though it might be wrong: Outside it still seems to be the night beween day 5 & 6 when Darcy, Jimmy & Monica desert and inside the Hex the noughties Halloween day and evening are happening.
On what might be day 6 or 11, time inside and outside the Hex seems to be the same. How nice and unconfusing! Although... I am a bit weirded out that we're about to have a 3rd episode set in the same day. First time flew, now it's slowed down.
(Not to mention that, if this Pietro is X-Men!Peter, he'll be from a different decade and therefore time travel would be involved too. Whaaaat?)
How does time work???
