The "murdering nannies" thing is tricky, IMO, for a number of reasons.

Firstly, she's four when that is happening. Her sense of empathy is still forming, her sense of consequence is still forming, her sense of mortality is still forming - because she's four. Add to that, she's been raised by a "father" who encourages, conditions, and often demands her to use her abilities, and she's been taught that her powers are the only really valuable thing about her, so it makes sense that she whips them out whenever the fuck she feels like it. And when we look at Reginald's face in the "nannies" scene he doesn't seem to give a damn that she's killing people, beyond frustration that he can't control her. He certainly doesn't appear to be teaching her that throwing people out of windows is a very bad thing to do.

Secondly, the tone of that scene was aggravatingly silly, and thus I find it hard to know how to factor it into the overall narrative. Certainly what Vanya was doing was very serious, yet the scene itself was basically played for laughs. I really hated that scene, actually, because it's just so tonally inarticulate. Like, if it were a dark-af scene that was using bouncy pop music to make the darkness of it more unnerving, that would be fine, but it's not. It just feels like a total throw-away scene that's mainly about addressing why the mom exists and also is there for lols??? Except no??? It should be a big deal. It should be a dark scene that the present day narrative needs to address in a serious way. But instead it's like, NANNIES OUT THE WINDOW! WOOP THERE THEY GO! LOL!

As a viewer, I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that.
