“Monsters” Marvel’s Agent Carter caps off the double bill with further development of Whitney’s desire to gain more power.

I’m…

Marvel’s Agent Carter – Season 2 Episode 4

“Smoke and Mirrors” Marvel’s Agent Carter delves into the past of both Peggy and Whitney to show how both women became what they currently are.

“Better Angels” Marvel’s Agent Carter deals with the fallout of the previous episode as Peggy tries to clear the name of a man she knows to be innocent. It turns out that Jason Wilkes wasn’t killed after all. I didn’t know last week that he was a main cast member which was just as well…
