"WandaVision" finally revealed what's going on with Evan Peters' Pietro, and the answer is a major letdown.
Fans had been curious about fake Pietro — Fietro, as Agatha Harkness called him — since his arrival at the end of episode five.
Many were hoping that Peters' character was the same Quicksilver that the actor portrayed in the "X-Men" films. They also theorized that he could be the comic book villains Mephisto or Nightmare.
But on the latest episode, it was revealed that this Pietro is actually the mysterious Ralph who Agatha had been referring to as her husband all season long. Ralph was never seen on the show, only ever mentioned by Agatha.

His full name is Ralph Bohner and the explanation came early in the finale when fans learned that he was keeping Monica in Agatha's attic with him. The two characters were last seen at the end of episode seven when he caught Monica trying to investigate Agatha's basem*nt.
Fake Pietro referred to the attic as his "man cave, a place to chillax while the missus is stirring up trouble."
Then Monica picked up a Westview bill from a nearby table and realized that the home belonged to someone named Ralph Bohner, not Agatha. She picked up another paper, which contained a headshot of Peters' character with the name Ralph Bohner.
"Agnes doesn't live here. You do," Monica said.

During the previous episode, Agatha alluded to manipulating fake Pietro using "crystalline possession." In the finale, Monica tackled him to the ground and picked up on the energy from Ralph's necklace, which was controlling him.

Ralph seemed to be snapped out of Agatha's spell and begged Monica to spare his life after she snatched the jewelry from his neck.
Fans were largely left unsatisfied by the Pietro explanation and disappointed that Peters' role on the show wasn't more significant

Some wondered if Peters' character is the unnamed person in witness protection who Jimmy Woo mentioned during episode 4
When Jimmy met Monica Rambeau outside the hex, he said that he had "a witness set up down the road in Westview and this morning it looked like he flew the coop."
"Your missing person is in the Witness Protection Program?" Monica asked.

Then Jimmy said that he contacted known associates and relatives of the person, and none of them have "ever heard of him."
Jimmy never clarified who he was referring to at that moment. Fans think that perhaps Peters' character is the man who disappeared and that Ralph Bohner is a fake moniker.

Some aren't convinced the character is this Ralph guy from Westview, based on a nod to the 'X-Men' version of Quicksilver/Peter Maximoff
Wanda and Vision's twins, Billy and Tommy (known as Wiccan and Speed in the comics) fought Tyler Hayward and the S.W.O.R.D. agents on the finale. During the scene, Tommy used his super-speed to zip past the agents.
In doing so, he stole a hat and sunglasses and put them on himself.

Tommy's appearance and hat theft were reminiscent of how Peters looked as Quicksilver during one scene in "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

Fans are still optimistic that the future of the MCU will leave room for Peters to return, especially becauseWanda Maximoff's appearance in the upcoming "Doctor Strange" sequel ("Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness") was set up by the end-credits scene of the finale.
