\n\n\n\nAgent Carter season 1, episode 4, "The Blitzkrieg Button"
\n-Synopsis
\n-Peggy and Jarvis show up for a special delivery that ends up being none other than Howard Stark himself.
\n-Not as surprising as it probably should have been.
\n-In order to keep Howard hidden from the SSR, who are totally onto him, Peggy smuggles him into the Griffith.
\n-Is Howard being irresponsible or just playing things on the fly?
\n-Dooley heads to Nuremberg to question a Nazi.
\n-How do we feel about the tactics that the SSR uses to get info (cianide caps/beatings/lying, etc)
\n-Dooley learns that Howard left the area after the massacre, and is even more suspicious of Mr. Stark
\n-Jack Thompson AKA Chad Michael Murray is left in charge and he puts them all on notice that he's gonna be Mr. No Nonsense.
\n-Sousa brings in a homeless man for questioning but doesn't get answers until Jack steps in.
\n-Is this show a fair example of the time or is it a little over-the-top?
\n-Did Sousa need to get into the story behind his leg or was it a little much for the situation?
\n-Howard asks Peggy to get one of his inventions, the Blitzkrieg Button, because it could be used to black out a city.
\n-Peggy gets the item, but she doesn't believe Howard, so she presses the button and finds a vial of what we later learn is Steve Rogers' blood.
\n-Howard and Peggy have (rather loud) words about his lying and the blood.
\n-Why didn't Howard just tell Peggy the truth and ask her to rescue Steve's blood from the SSR?
\n-Stan Lee cameo!
\n-Natalie provides some Stan Lee fun facts.
\n-The creepy blonde guy shows up to deliver flowers to Peggy as a ruse to get to her room, but is taken down by ninja Dottie.
\n-Ariana totally called the Dottie is evil thing last week.
\n-We are left with the magic typewriter clicking away... as Dooley looks on.

\n\n\n\nListener Feedback:
