Marvel's newest adventure has hit the midway point of the first season. As Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) works as a double agent for the SSR and Howard Stark, she has and will continue to uncover secrets that will change the world.
***** SPOILERS for "The Blitzkrieg Button" to follow *****
"The Blitzkrieg Button" picks up with the SSR banding together following the loss of Agent Ray Krzeminski. As SSR Chief Roger Dooley (Shea Whigham) places the blame on Howard Stark, the SSR investigates the stolen Stark equipment. Dooley heads to Germany to find out more about who they have been dealing with.
As the SSR investigates Howard Stark's inventions, Peggy gets a surprise visit from the man himself. He tasks her with stealing back his invention the Blitzkrieg Button. Once she has it in her hands, she discovers everything is not as it seems, thanks to some obvious tells from Jarvis.
Peggy finds that Stark has a small sample of Captain America's blood but she keeps it for herself. An assassin follows her back to her room where her neighbor Dottie shows off some unexpected moves. There is much more than meets the eye with her.
The episode itself takes a while to get in to but the second half is much stronger and delivers plot points that could prove to be very interesting and worth wild down the road.
Performance wise, Hayley Atwell was once again a star while we got to see more of Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper), Jack Thompson (Chad Michael Murray), and Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj). Jarvis took a back seat this week but was still good in his time and a cameo by Stan Lee is always great to see.
