Since the premiere of Agent Carter it was obvious the focus would be on the mistreatment of Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) by the SSR. She has been delegated to the coffee girl, until now.
***** SPOILERS for "The Iron Ceiling" to follow *****
When the previously captured typewriter started writing a new message in Chief Dooley's (Shea Whigham) office, the SSR went into a frenzy trying to figure out what the message could mean. Peggy saves the day by realizing the message was coordinates located in Russia.
As they travel to Russia and team up with the Howling Commandos, they stumble upon the Black Widow training program. The mission proves to fellow SSR agent Jack Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) that Peggy is capable of much more than getting a cup of coffee.
Before the team left for Russia, Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) accidentally catches a revealing glimpse at Peggy. He realizes Peggy and the mysterious blonde he's been investigating are the same person.
While Peggy is at the old Black Widow program, a former trainee is sneaking around her life. Dottie (Bridget Regan) steals the key to Peggy's apartment and snoops around her place. Her intentions are unclear but her mission this episode was really figuring out who Peggy Carter is.
The episode also featured a change in perspective that has been needed, and overdue. Thompson has been the main culprit at undermining the importance and role that Peggy has at the SSR since the series started. That mentality shifted during the end of the episode after Peggy lead and protected the team through Russia.
We know that the transition from SSR to SHIELD is on the horizon for Peggy Carter but she will need other agents to join her and trust her. This episode started to pave the way for Thompson to make that transition while also diminishing the trust Sousa had. Peggy also recruited a Russian scientist to join the SSR and he could potentially make the transition to SHIELD as well. This move brings up the question of if that man is HYDRA and if not, then it is just the beginning of Russian scientists being brought on board, with some secretly belonging to HYDRA.
Agent Carter returns next week with episode 6 "A Sin to Err." The synopsis for episode 6 is "Peggy discovers the shocking truth about Leviathan but doesn't realize that her true enemies are even closer than she imagined. Meanwhile, Sousa is close to confirming the truth about Peggy and may just put her in the crosshairs of the SSR." Check out the promo for the episode below!
