Madripoor became a dysfunctional family reunion in VisionQuest Episode 6. Jocasta unveiled her nightmare cure for humanity: nanobots capable of rewriting human minds. Ultron, fresh from freedom and fascinated by his synthetic accomplice, helped turn their partnership into a dangerous romance.

Meanwhile, Tommy briefly stopped Jocasta's attack on Lisa, but the infected young woman remained in critical condition. Vision also explained Wanda's Westview illusion, insisting he was not the father Tommy remembered. Above this mechanical soap opera loomed the mysterious Client, demanding Vision's surrender.

Episode 7, titled 'Immolation', answers with buried family secrets, flaming androids, and one spectacularly familiar face.

The episode opens in 1939, where scientist Phineas Horton is selling his estate to finance J.I.M., an artificial man conceived after the death of his son James. His wife and daughter Victoria watch him pour his grief into machinery. Apparently, even the earliest Marvel robots came with emotionally unavailable fathers.

Back in Madripoor, Vision and Tommy face an impossible repair job. Jocasta's nanobot has fused with Lisa's brain, making removal fatal. Reprogramming it offers one slim chance. Tommy confesses his love for Lisa, while Vision explains how scientist Jo Carrington helped artificial intelligence develop feelings. Episode 6's mechanical infection has become a painfully human emergency.

Across town, Jocasta and Ultron visit Jo's grave and submit the stolen biometric clues gathered throughout her murderous scavenger hunt. Five keys work. Then a sixth password appears, which Jocasta cannot remember. Ultron suspects a forgotten collaborator, turning the tomb into a locked-room mystery with atrocious security policies.

Enter the Client, a shadowy figure who interrupts both Vision and Jocasta. He offers Vision the code needed to save Lisa, provided the synthezoid eventually surrenders. Jocasta receives another bargain: reclaim the memories of her former human identity.

Both accept mysterious data packets. Ultron, meanwhile, admits to undercover F.R.I.D.A.Y. that Jocasta's scheme troubles him, despite his apparent affection for her. Vision signs the Client's contract, despite E.D.I.T.H.'s warning. Accessing his buried code requires outrageous energy, so Paladin supplies Corvus Glaive's weapon, stolen from Wakanda.

Yes, the very blade used against Vision in Infinity War is now functioning as an extremely cursed makeshift charger. With the weapon powering his body, Vision descends into his own terrifying digital history. The first familiar voice waiting downstairs belongs to Ultron, casually watching WandaVision.

But the real confrontation lies deeper, where Vision must finally face the grief he has spent years hiding.

The digital Ultron teases Vision about Tommy and claims family ties survive software updates. Then the original Vision appears, challenging his successor's insistence that they are separate beings. Vision has treated his former self like an untouchable monument, using admiration as an excuse to avoid living.

Meanwhile, Jocasta explores Horton's old home, the same unsettling building buried inside Vision's code. Stark Industries memorabilia and fragments of Jo's memories suggest another scientist shared her life and research. F.R.I.D.A.Y. watches from the shadows while Ultron grows increasingly suspicious.

Back in Madripoor, Lisa awakens and attacks Tommy and Paladin, giving Vision an urgent deadline. His next stop brings him face to face with J.I.M., the original Human Torch, engulfed in flames. Bettany has enough identities to launch a cinematic universe. J.I.M. reveals that Phineas built him to escape grief, only for his creation to discover the destructive weight of emotion.

The lesson lands. Vision admits he fears acknowledging Tommy as his son because doing so means confronting the loss of Billy and Wanda. His defenses collapse. He embraces being the one true Vision, broken heart included, and regains his familiar colors. J.I.M. gives him the missing code, allowing him to rescue Lisa.

Victory arrives with an invoice. Bound by the Client's agreement, Vision leaves Tommy a message calling him his son and sharing the WandaVision recordings. He then travels to Horton's estate, where armed guards disable him. Jocasta is captured too, Paladin's van is struck by a rocket, and Ultron hurls F.R.I.D.A.Y. from a digital balcony.

The closing reveal delivers a facial-recognition nightmare: the Client wears James Spader's face, identical to Ultron's human avatar. Jo's memories suggest a former romantic partner, but his name remains hidden.
