Janet van Dyne, the Wasp, recently told me a joke.
Okay.
Would you enjoy hearing it?
Okay.
Two toasters are sitting on a counter. One toaster turns to the other toaster and asks: "Do you sometimes feel empty?" Then the other toaster says: "Oh my God! A talking toaster!"
Oh God. Hahahaha hahahaha.

Synopsis for "I Too Shall be Saved by Love"
The Scarlet Witch reminisces on highlights of her love life with the Vision.
Long ago, after the two had ravenous sex, Vision tells Wanda a joke that Janet Van Dyne recently told him: There were two toasters on a counter, one of them asks the other “Do you sometimes feel empty?”, to which the other replies, “Oh my God, a talking toaster!”. Wanda finds this hilarious, and she and Vision laugh together.
Later, the Vision and the Scarlet Witch are hiding behind a tree kissing while their fellow Avengers are in a battle with Count Nefaria. The Scarlet Witch tells them to stop so they can help defeat Nefaria, as tomorrow is their off day. Vision warns her of the expression “Tomorrow never comes”, but Scarlet Witch replies that for a witch, it always does. They then say they love each other just before heading off.
Sometime after that, the Vision and Wanda host a dinner with their found family: Whizzer, Bova Ayshire, Agatha Harkness, Quicksilver, and Wonder Man. The latter toasts the couple for bringing them all together.
After the dinner, Vision and Wanda are about to go out when Vision notices the everbloom tree. Wanda explains its clairvoyant properties, and Vision curiously asks if they should try it. Wanda says they don’t need to, as she also has seen Vision in her future, and Vision says he has seen the same.
Afterwards, Wanda tends to their two “kids”, Tommy and Billy. She rambles on about a blanket Cap gave them, before Vision is forced to confront her about their fabricated existence. Wanda responds by angrily lashing out at Vision, calling him a “toaster” and saying he isn’t real, before stomping off.
Further later, Wanda, Tommy, and Billy are confronted with White Vision. When they ask why Vision is white, Wanda insists he tell them the truth. Vision states that his hardwiring has been replaced, and then coldly states he is neither their father nor Vision’s husband. When Wanda weeps about how Vision used to be kind, Vision can only say that the truth IS kind.
Not long after, Wanda is in a catatonic state. White Vision tells her that, in order to protect her from Mephisto, she will have her memory wiped of everything relating to Tommy and Billy, while also revealing he will leave the West Coast Avengers to rejoin the main branch. He says goodbye while telling her that the future is here.
Finally, after being restored, Vision phases in on Wonder Man’s and Wanda staringly lovingly at each other. He prepares to walk away, but Wanda follows him. Thinking she wants to apologize for moving on, he initially refuses, but she says that she wants to give him a gift. It turns out to be a gem containing code from Wanda’s brainwaves, similar to the one from Simon’s brainwaves that created Vision; she hopes that with it, Vision can find someone suitable for him. Vision is speechless by the gift, with Wanda making a humorous remark on it, and the two part on good terms.
In the present, Vision and Virginia are in bed together. Vision proceeds to tell the same joke about the toasters to Virginia, only for the joke to fall completely flat. The Scarlet Witch then comments about the cyclical nature of the whole situation.
