Agent Carter EP 7 Review

It's hard to believe but Marvel's newest series Agent Carter is almost over. Last night "Snafu," the seventh episode of the series, premiered and set up what should be an exciting and revealing season finale. After the SSR captured Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), they began their questioning to discover the real motive behind Peggy's actions.

***** SPOILERS for "Snafu" to follow *****

After a long investigation led by Agent Sousa (Enver Gjokaj), he and the SSR were able to get Peggy into custody. Sousa, Chief Roger Dooley (Shea Whigham), and Jack Thompson (Chad Michael Murray) each took turns questioning Peggy, but she would not break.

Peggy's questioning came to an end after a surprise visit from Jarvis (James D'Arcy). He handed Dooley a signed confession from Howard Stark, that was actually a fake. Dooley decides to fire Peggy once Stark gets back on US soil.

The SSR turned against Peggy and began seeking advice from Dr. Ivchenko (Ralph Brown) and his "magic" ring. Ivchenko became close to Dooley and influenced him to cooperate with his and Leviathan's plan.

Peggy became aware of Leviathan's plan and confessed everything about what she has been up to for the last few months to Dooley, Sousa, and Thompson.

The episode took a sour turn when Dooley was found in a heat jacket with no way to turn it off. The jacket turned into a bomb once it had achieved a high enough temperature. Dooley sacrificed his life to save the life of his agents.

"Snafu" brought back the Peggy and Jarvis relationship after the two did not share much screen time the past few weeks. The dialogue and witty banter back and forth has been one of the best dynamics of Agent Carter all season. It was also nice to see Enver Gjokaj and Chad Michael Murray share screen time and see a relationship that was very broken at the beginning of the season get closer as the finale approaches.

Bridget Regan also deserves credit for a great performance as her creepy portrayal of Dottie. Getting to see her and Hayley Atwell share screen time next week should be great. Dottie also starred in one of the most memorable stunts of the show during her staircase falling scene.
