On this episode of Marvel‘s Agent Carter, Peggy faces the full fury of Leviathan, as Howard Stark makes his return.

The final episode of this season has a nice mix of action, humor, and a little bit of heart. Dr. Johann Fennhoff’s plan is better revealed, and still has a nice “comic book” feel about it all. We also get the fight between Peggy and Dottie we also hoped for. The episode did its job giving us what we all wanted.

For me though, the standout, and scene stealer whenever he’s present, is Howard Stark, whose return is dotted with humor in his doucheness. His ongoing joke of trying to remember Dottie’s name brought humor to an episode that was rather action packed.

The downside was the ending. Peggy makes a statement that she knows her value, so her superiors don’t need to. Which to me is a bit opposite of her attitude and actions throughout the season, where she’s bucked the system and proven her value through action. By her making that statement, it’s as if she’s given in to the patriarchy that’s given her shit, add on the fact every clapped when she enters the office! Just a down note to go out on.

Agent Carter was solid, something new, and a fresh television series. Hopefully we’ll be getting more.

Overall Score: 8
