Thomspon asks Carter to archive a number of surveillance reports, because she is "better at that kind of thing".
 * That evening, Carter has dinner at the L&L Automat. While getting some food, Edwin Jarvis places a note saying "Meet in the alley in 5 minutes" on her table. Outside of the L&L Automat, Jarvis approaches Carter, telling her to come with him. Carter, not trusting him, knocks Jarvis out before running away from an approaching car.

Brannis tells Carter that Leviathan is coming, before Brannis dropping one of these bombs on the ground.
 * Carter tells Jarvis that he needs to come with the car so that they can escape the terrain. During their escape, the bomb explodes, followed by a massive implosion. While they manage to escape, their car loses its license plate.
 * At the New York Bell Company Office, Daniel Sousa and Roger Dooley are discussing Howard Stark's disappearance, when Jack Thompson comes in. He tells them that the bouncer of La Martinique club spotted a blonde woman at the scene of Spider Raymond's death and that the club's photographer thinks he got a photo of her. Daniel Sousa answers a phone call from the authority, saying that the Roxxon Refinery blew up. Dooley then takes both of them to investigate the location.

 * At the Roxxon Oil Corporation Headquarters, Roger Dooley and Jack Thompson question Hugh Jones about the explosion of the Roxxon Refinery. He tells them that one of his sources working in Stark Industries told him that Howard Stark was working on a formula for Nitramene, which has its roots in Vita Radiation.
 * Peggy Carter tries to break into the drawer of Daniel Sousa's bureau but is interrupted by a phone call from Roger Dooley, asking her to come to the Roxxon Oil Corporation Headquarters with the Vita-Ray Detector. At the headquarters, she is tasked with scanning women working at the Roxxon Corporation for Vita Radiation on their clothing or body. Before doing so, she has to throw away the watch she received from her grandmother.
 * During the process of scanning the staff, Jack Thompson scans Miles Van Ert, but does not detect any Vita Radiation. Peggy Carter, who recognizes Van Ert, asks Hugh Jones if they could check the clothing of the staff who worked that morning. This question makes Van Ert run away. Thompson and Dooley follow him down the corridor, where Van Ert is knocked down by Carter, who used a shortcut.

 * At McFee's house, him and Peggy Carter have a fight, which ends with McFee being knocked out by Carter. Before Carter is able to interrogate McFee, she notices someone leaving the house. Outside she finds Leet Brannis trying to start the Daisy Clover truck. To make sure Brannis does not drive away, Edwin Jarvis sabotages the truck.
 * Chase of the Daisy Clover Truck: While traveling back to New York City, where Peggy Carter hopes to get answers on her questions, the Man in the Green Suit jumps off a bridge, landing on the roof of the truck. Carter climbs onto the roof of the truck and fights him. During their fight, the Man in the Green Suit fires a shot through the roof of the truck, hitting Brannis. When Jarvis tries to control the truck, he notices one of the Nitramene bombs falling out of its shell. Meanwhile, Roger Dooley, Jack Thompson, and a group of other agents find McFee running away from his house and take him in. At a corner in the road, Carter stabs a knife through the hand of the Man in the Green Suit, pinning him to the roof of the truck. The three of them jump away from the truck, before it lands in a river down a ravine and causes a massive explosion followed by an implosion, killing the Man in the Green Suit. Just before Brannis dies from his wounds, Carter manages to learn more about the location of Howard Stark's stolen weapons, via a symbol drawn by Brannis.
 * Dooley and the agents, who noticed the blast caused by the explosion, investigate the location. Here, Daniel Sousa finds the key of a room at the Hotel Cosmopolitan used by the Man in the Green Suit.

 * In Roger Dooley's office, he, Jack Thompson, and Ray Krzeminski discuss what they have learned about Leet Brannis and the items they found at the Hotel Cosmopolitan. Thompson is tasked with learning the identity of the man in the green suit. Before being able to do so, Daniel Sousa informs them all that the license plate they discovered belonged to a car owned by Howard Stark.
 * Peggy Carter visits Howard Stark's Mansion to investigate its vault. Sousa and Thompson arrive at the mansion in search of the car. Jarvis, who was also at the mansion, tells them that the car was stolen a few days before. Not believing the story, they take him to the New York Bell Company Office.
 * Instead of investigating the vault, Carter also travels to the office and enters the observation room to listen to Thompson interrogating Jarvis. When Thompson threatens him with deportation, Carter leaves the observation room.
 * Carter then fakes a stolen car report and hands it over to Dooley, which gives Jarvis a reason to leave the New York Bell Company Office. Back in Dooley's office, he angrily sends Carter away, telling her to apologize to Thompson for giving the report so that Jarvis could leave.
 * That evening, Carter gets ready to investigate Howard Stark's vault. Angie Martinelli knocks on her door and enters her room with the wish to talk about their day. Carter, who does not have the time to do so, sends her away, giving her the excuse that she wants to go to bed.
 * The moment Martinelli leaves Carter's room, Miriam Fry walks by with a new tenant, Dottie Underwood. Fry introduces them to each other.
 * Upon arriving at Stark's mansion, Carter, who had listened to Jarvis's interrogation, asks if Jarvis wants to tell her anything. But he tells her nothing. They descend into a hole in the floor, leading towards the sewers.
 * At the New York Bell Company Office, Daniel Sousa and Ray Krzeminski start their night shift. Jack Thompson, before leaving, gives them a file with the information he received about the man in the green suit.
 * Edwin Jarvis and Peggy Carter follow the sewers. While following the path, Jarvis tells Carter that he was dishonorably discharged from the army and charged with treason. He also tells her that it is because of Stark that he and his wife were not prosecuted. At the end of the sewers, Carter recognizes the symbol Brannis had drawn for her on a boat, The Heartbreak. In the boat, they find many of Stark's stolen items. At first, Carter plans to turn the items in herself, so she could get the credit and be respected; Jarvis advises her against it, citing she would only be seen as a possible collaborator of Stark. Carter then tells Jarvis to call the Strategic Scientific Reserve, to make sure that Sousa gets the credit and that they do not recognize his voice.
 * Sousa and Krzeminski travel to the harbor to investigate the anonymous tip. While, on the boat, Carter fights Jerome Zandow, the protector of the stolen items. Carter uses a device called the Constrictor to take him down.
 * Upon arriving, Sousa and Krzeminski find the items and the knocked down Zandow. They then call for reinforcement to bring the items back to the office. Krzeminski is ordered to bring Zandow to the office. While waiting at a stop sign, a car driven by an unknown woman rams their car. Krzeminski gets out of the car, just to be killed by the woman, who afterwards also kills Zandow.

21

 * Peggy Carter arrives at the SSR base to find both the women downstairs as well as the agents upstairs saddened by the death of Krzeminski. Sousa takes it as a reminder that death can happen any moment and thinks the anonymous tipper tricked them into coming. Roger Dooley tells the agents that he blames Howard Stark and wants action plans to make sure they will not lose any more agents. He goes off to call Krzeminski's wife, while Jack Thompson calls his girlfriend.
 * That evening Carter goes to the "L&L Automat" and tells Angie Martinelli about her job. They then go back to the Griffith Hotel to drink some schnapps.

22

 * To smuggle Howard Stark back into the country he and Jarvis make a deal with Otto Mink. For 50,000 dollars Mink would deliver Stark at a New York train station.
 * At the station Jarvis hands over the agreed upon amount of money to two of Mink's men. At the same time, Peggy Carter takes out the three other men controlling the area. The two men blackmail Jarvis and demand another 100,000 dollar, if he wants them to keep their mouths shut. Jarvis, who at first refuses to give more money, hands them his suitcase, which has a gas inside of it, instead of the promised money. With the two men unconscious, Carter and Jarvis open the train wagon in which Stark was transported into the country. In this wagon, which is furnished expensively, Stark is playing pool.
 * On their way to one of Stark's most secret residents, Carter orders to stop the car, warning them for agent Yauch and Henry, who are standing on look out for the resident. She instead takes Stark to her apartment at the Griffith Hotel. Carter uses the laundry-shaft to send Stark upstairs. She is caught by Miriam Fry, who thinks Carter had brought a lover to her room.


 * At the New York Bell Company Office, Jack Thompson and Roger Dooley discuss the Battle of Finow and the Remote Typewriter. Dooley then tells Thompson that he plans to go to Germany, to talk about the battle with Ernst Mueller.
 * Back at her room, before entering her apartment, Fry tells Carter that she still has to get her laundry, expecting to find a man in the shaft. To her relief, Stark has already left the shaft and entered the room of Lorraine, where they made out.

23

 * Before going to work, Stark gives Carter a Camera Pen to make photos of the inventions in the Strategic Scientific Reserves possession.
 * At work, Carter is ordered to take on the lunch orders. In the laboratory, while receiving the lunch order of Alex Doobin, she makes photos of the stored items.
 * In the hope of learning more about the anonymous tipper, Daniel Sousa travels to the harbor. Here he first tries to receive some fingerprints, before being disturbed by some goons playing poker. Trying to get more information he gives them some nickels. Frank, one of the two goons, refuses to give information and tries to punch Sousa for not going away. Sousa then takes him down and brings him back to the office for interrogation.
 * Otto Mink, kills the two men he ordered to receive the money, because of their failure at the train station. Before his death, one of the two men tells Mink that he heard Stark calling the woman that took them down Peggy.

 * Sousa tells Frank about what happened when he just came back from the war, hoping this story would make Frank talk, but it does not work.
 * Before dinner, Carter puts some of the food into her purse. Back in her room, Stark tells Carter that she has to steal one of the inventions called the Blitzkrieg Button, a device that causes an instant city to wipe out. He gives her a replacement, so they would not notice it being stolen.
 * At the office, Jack Thompson interrupts the interrogation with a bottle of scotch and a hamburger. He tells Frank that if he tells what he has seen, all of it would be his. Frank immediately tells them about a well dressed man and a dark haired woman who went on and off the boat.
 * In Germany, Roger Dooley and Ernst Mueller talk about what happened in Finow. Dooley promises Mueller that if he tells him what happened he would give him a painless death. He also tells Mueller about the hanging of another German prisoner in full detail and offers to give him cyanide if he speaks. Mueller explains that there was no battle, that when the Germans arrived all the Russians were already dead. As promised Dooley gives him a cyanide pill which is actually a mint. Outside of the cell, he also gives the guard a mint.
 * Theft of the Blitzkrieg Button: Carter replaces the real with the fake Blitzkrieg Button, and she nervously presses the button, not having fully trusted Howard Stark's intentions. To her surprise the device holds a vial of blood. While trying to leave the office she has to hide into the interrogation room, where she bumps into Thompson, who tells her that no men would ever see her as equal.
 * In her room, Peggy Carter asks Howard Stark what is in the vial. She knocks him down when he tells her that it is Steve Rogers' blood.
 * Otto Mink, who had been following Carter since she drove to the New York Bell Company Office, enters the Griffith Hotel disguised as a flower delivery boy. He hands the flowers over to Miriam Fry and is able to retrieve Carter her room number. He then leaves the building.
 * Carter angrily talks to Stark about lying to her. Carter suspects Stark of using the vial to make millions of dollars and calls him a man who is out for his own gain no matter what. She tells him that she is done working as a corporate spy and leaves the room to get away from his stink, telling Stark that he has to be gone when she gets back.
 * Assassination of Otto Mink: When Dottie Underwood leaves her room she notices Mink trying to enter Carter's room. When she does not go back into her room, Mink threatens her with a Automatic Pistol. Underwood who wants to have his gun, kills him and drags the body to her room.

24

 * Peggy Carter, who just bought lunch is walking back to work and is approached by Edwin Jarvis who talks to Peggy Carter about the respect he and Howard Stark have for her, asking who else holds her in such high esteem.
 * When Carter does not react the way Jarvis hoped, he turns back and tells Stark that he took her for granted and that this situation stings.
 * At the New York Bell Company Office, Carter gives everyone their lunch, while Daniel Sousa takes a closer look at the photo made in "La Martinique" while Jack Thompson and Roger Dooley discuss what Ernst Mueller has told him. Thompson tells Dooley about Stark being on a plane leaving Finow airfield.
 * Back in her room, Carter makes a hole in her wall to hide the Blitzkrieg Button.
 * Daniel Sousa is reading some of the new information received by Dooley and notices the Remote Typewriter is receiving a message.

25

 * Dottie Underwood wakes up from a dream about her days back at the Red Room Academy and starts her morning workout, before having breakfast with Peggy Carter at the L&L Automat.
 * During breakfast, Underwood plans a tour through New York, with Carter giving her advice. Before they both leave the L&L Automat, Underwood throws Carter's bag on the ground, making it look like an accident. While gathering Carter her stuff to put it back in her bag, Underwood steals Carter her room key.
 * On her way to work, Carter buys today's newspaper at a stand. At the stand she is met by Edwin Jarvis who wants to have a moment of her time. While she does have a talk with him, she doesn't want anything to do with him or Howard Stark anymore.
 * At the New York Bell Company Office, Daniel Sousa tells Carter that the Remote Typewriter turned itself on and received an encoded message. To help them crack the code, Arlington Hall sends them a cryptographer. Much to the displeasure of Roger Dooley and Jack Thompson the cryptographer is unable to break the code. Carter immediately recognizes the code and breaks it. The code gives them the coordinates, time and the amount to pay for an item exchange between Howard Stark and Leviathan in Belarus.
 * When Carter tells Dooley and Thompson that she wants to join Thompson, Rick Ramirez and Mike Li on their mission to Russia, they are first against it. She tells them that she can deliver the 107th. Dooley tells her that she is allowed to join the mission if that happens. When she returns from a phone call and tells them the 107th will meet them at the Russian border, Dooley allows her to join the mission. Dooley tells them both to gear up and roll out in an hour. Thompson tricks Daniel Sousa, who just brought him the field report, into entering the woman's dressing room. Before leaving, Thompson spots two dots on Carter her back.
 * The team drops into Poland where they meet the 107th; Dum Dum Dugan, Junior Juniper, Pinky Pinkerton and Happy Sam Sawyer. Agent Ramirez is excited to meet the Howling Commandos, but Sawyer states that he hates that name. Juniper protests, given that he was the one who created the name. Dugan tells Thompson that they will cross the border with Russia at Ashmyany, Lithuania.
 * On their way to Lithuania, Dugan and Carter share a cup of bourbon and talk about the trap they are running into.
 * Back at the New York Bell Company Office, Daniel Sousa realizes that Peggy Carter is the blond woman on the photos taken at La Martinique, recognizing the two spots on her back.
 * While sitting at a campfire, Carter and the Howling commandos make fun of Juniper, who supposedly saw a Yeti in Tibet. Carter then pushes Thompson into telling the reason he received a Navy Cross: while serving in Japan he saved his CEO and his camp from a Japanese attack.


 * At a bar in New York, Roger Dooley has a conversation with an old friend about the Battle of Finow: Howard Stark visited the location in the aftermath of the battle and punched general John McGinnis. A week later McGinnis resigned from the army and another week later Stark cut his ties with the army.

26

 * Infiltration into the Red Room Academy
 * At the Red Room Academy, the team decide to split into two groups of four. Carter's group enters a schoolroom focused on the United States of America. Agent Mike Li accidentally starts an American cartoon with a hidden message behind it. Li then hears a little girl crying.
 * They encounter the child sitting against one of the beds in a sleeping hall. While Dugan talks to her, she manages to get him distracted and stabs him with her knife. She then takes his gun and shoots Junior Juniper, killing him. Carter then stops Dugan, from throwing a hand grenade into the shaft the girl used to escape, before deciding they have to leave. While Dugan, Rick Ramirez and Pinky Pinkerton search for a way out, Carter and the others enter a corridor. This corridor is guarded by a few Russian soldiers. They kill the soldiers and find a cell containing doctor Ivchenko and Nikola. Ivchenko tells Carter that they were imprisoned to build a weapon from a blueprint stolen from Stark. They free the prisoners and in the ensuing firefight with Leviathan operatives, Mike Li is killed by the little girl.
 * Nikola, hoping for his freedom, offers to trade the three Americans if he and Ivchenko are free to leave. Tearfully, Ivchenko kills Nikola. Meanwhile, Thompson freezes and is to scared to help in the shootout. A minute later, Dugan blows a hole in the wall, allowing everyone to escape. Carter pushes Thompson to man up and leave the building. They then escape with Ivchenko by using one of the trucks.
 * In New York, Dooley waits for Edwin Jarvis at his car. When Jarvis arrives, Dooley asks him about the fist fight Stark had with McGinnis. When Jarvis says he does not know anything about this, Dooley tells him that he just wants to know the truth and gives Jarvis a card with his number.
 * At the Griffith Hotel, Dottie Underwood uses the key she stole from Carter to enter her bedroom.
