Agent Carter Season Finale Review

Marvel and ABC decided to bridge the winter break for Agents of SHIELD by debuting a brand new eight episode series following the life of Peggy Carter.

Agent Carter picks up where the events of Captain America: The First Avenger leaves Peggy Carter, working for the SSR.

The first season of Agent Carter came to a close Tuesday night with the premiere of the eighth episode "Valediction."

***** SPOILERS for Season 1 of Agent Carter to follow *****

The season finale of Agent Carter wrapped up the SSR's hunt for Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) and Peggy Carter's hunt on Leviathan's operation.

After Stark returns to America, he offers his services to the SSR to help them stop Ivchenko (Ralph Brown), also known as Fenhoff, and Dottie's (Bridget Regan) plan to release Stark's anger gas, Midnight Oil, over Times Square.

Ivchenko and Dottie kidnap Stark and use him to finish their plan. Peggy, Jarvis (James D'Arcy), Jack Thompson (Chad Michael Murray), and Daniel Sousa (Enver Gjokaj) go after the two villains to stop the attack.

Following a great duel between Peggy and Dottie that ended with Dottie being kicked through a window and badly injured, Sousa captures Ivchenko and sends him to prison.

One of the final scenes of the season came with just a few minutes left in it between Jarvis and Peggy. James D'Arcy and Hayley Atwell delivered a heartfelt scene that encompassed their relationship on the show. Seeing Jarvis and Peggy's kind and tearful exchange was a great moment from a very good season and finale.

Peggy also got a gift from Jarvis, the last remaining sample of Captain America's blood. Following a previously heartfelt speech by Peggy about moving on, she does what she must do to move on from the death of her former love. Pouring the blood into the river, forever destroying any chance at duplicating the super soldier serum.

The first season of of Agent Carter was by all means a success and it would not be surprising to see Marvel and ABC renew the series for a second season next winter.
