A year after the end of World War II and the loss of her friend Captain America , Agent Peggy Carter in New York City has to deal with her sexist colleagues at the Strategic Scientific Reserve secret service , who inflict degrading work on her. Peggy is visited by weapons developer Howard Stark, who is being hunted by the SSR for selling dangerous military weapons on the black market and wants to prove his innocence with their help, for which he makes his butler Edwin Jarvis available to her . Stark also explains to her that u. a. a formula containing dangerous molecular nitramine has been stolen. Peggy's colleague, the helpful war veteran Daniel Sousa, gives her information that the ruthless agent Jack Thompson found out. With these she secretly goes to a party in a club whose owner Spider Raymond has just sold the nitramine to a man named Leet Brannis. Peggy manages to take out Raymond and go unnoticed to the safe, where she finds the nitramine, which has already been converted into a brightly glowing, hand grenade-like weapon. With the help of the scientist Anton Vanko, Peggy and Jarvis find out that the weapon was manufactured by the gas and oil company Roxxon . They immediately headed to where Peggy learned that Brannis had a variety of nitramine weapons produced. When Peggy meets him, he reveals a strange scar on his neck and announces the resurrection of “Leviathan” via a voice device that he holds to his neck, whereupon he drops a nitramine vessel to implode the entire building and to flee with the remaining nitramine, while Peggy can be saved in time by Jarvis. After this first mission, he informed Peggy Stark that she had no suspicions.

After Leet Brannis escaped with the nitramine in a dairy car, Agent Peggy Carter visits the dairy in disguise, where she finds out that the car belongs to Sheldon McFee. At SSR, Daniel Sousa is supposed to analyze photos that were taken in Raymond's Club of the disguised Peggy, which is why she is forced to look for a way to prevent her being exposed. SSR Chief Roger Dooley orders to investigate the remains of the implosion of the Roxxon building for clues, while its chief Hugh Jones is questioned. He explains that his competitor Howard Stark, who is held responsible for this crime, has experimented with Vita radiation. The SSR then has all Roxxon employees checked for Vita radiation, with Peggy helping to capture one of the men she recognizes from her mission. Agent Thompson tortures him until he reveals the whereabouts of Sheldon McFee, whom Peggy and Edwin Jarvis are visiting. Once there, they can capture Leet Brannis, who tries to escape with the nitramine wagon. On the way back, however, they are attacked by a man who shoots Brannis. In the subsequent fight, Peggy can get Jarvis and Brannis out of the car before the latter falls down a cliff with the attacker and the nitramine creates a huge implosion. The dying Brannis draws a heart-shaped symbol in the sand before succumbing to his gunshot wound. The SSR team appears too late and can only find the attacker's hotel keys at the crime scene. Back at the station, Sousa can't identify the woman in the pictures, to Peggy's relief. Finally, in the remains of the Roxxon implosion, the license plate of Stark's car, with which Peggy and Jarvis escaped, is found.

After finding the license plate on Stark's car, the SSR goes to Stark's house, where Edwin Jarvis is waiting for them. Since Stark, still on the run from the SSR, is not present, they take Jarvis to the station to interrogate him. Agent Thompson does not believe Jarvis' statement that the car was stolen and brings his explosive past into play, whereupon he threatens to be deported. By having the car theft files signed with the codes, Peggy saves Jarvis from his emergency to the annoyance of her colleagues. Peggy and Jarvis then examine the vault from which Stark's weapons were stolen, revealing that Jarvis was once dishonorably discharged from the army for forging the signature of his superior general to rescue his current wife Ana during the war in Budapest. However, he escaped prosecution after Stark ransomed him. Eventually they discover a sewer under the burglary hole that leads out to sea to the harbor, where they see a ship with Brannis' symbol. Once there, they find Stark's stolen weapons, whereupon Jarvis - in a disguised voice - summons the SSR. Inside the ship there is meanwhile a fight between Peggy and an unknown man, whom she can defeat with Jarvis' help. They disappear before Agent Sousa and Agent Ray Krzeminski appear, find Stark's weapons and the unconscious man. The goods are then brought to the SSR while Agent Krzeminski drives the attacker to the police station. The car is stopped by someone else, however, when an unknown killer gets out, kills Krzeminski and the man, and disappears. The next day, Krzeminski's death caused a gloomy mood in the SSR, while Chief Dooley vows that Stark, whom he blames for this, would pay for it.

When the money is handed over, Peggy and Jarvis take out smugglers who smuggled Howard Stark back into the country after they tried to blackmail them. Stark is then placed in Peggy's apartment, an apartment in a strict women's hotel. Meanwhile, Chief Dooley travels to Nuremberg to see the captured German Colonel Mueller, who took part in the Battle of Finow during the war, in which, according to the files, the killed Leet Brannis and his also dead murderer, from whose hotel room the SSR recovered a long-distance typewriter, also died . After Stark discovered photos that Peggy took in the SSR laboratory, where Stark's weapons are kept, that the spherical “Blitzkrieg switch” was under the weapons, he asked Peggy to steal it. Peggy manages to get hold of the gun, but being suspicious of Jarvis' suspicious behavior, she flips the switch, which opens the bullet and reveals a vial of Captain America's blood. Back at the hotel, Stark explains to angry Peggy that he needs the blood to be used for health purposes in the future. Upon his return from Germany, Chief Dooley shared his findings with Agent Thompson from a conversation with Colonel Mueller, who claimed that the Russian soldiers in the alleged battle were actually all dead when the German troops first arrived. While trying to get revenge on Peggy, the leader of the smugglers' gang is broken by Peggy's roommate Dottie Underwood with a quick movement, whereupon she takes his fully automatic pistol. Meanwhile, Dooley and Thompson discover that Howard Stark landed in Finow the day after the battle. Finally, Peggy hides the switch with the ampoule in the wall of her room. Meanwhile, Chief Dooley notices the typewriter in his office receiving a message.

The SSR, with the help of a cryptanalyst, is trying to decipher the encrypted message on the typewriter when Peggy comes to the rescue and decrypts the message. It is an agreed meeting point for the purchase of a secret weapon between Leviathan, which Chief Dooley identifies as a secret Russian organization, and Howard Stark. To the displeasure of Agent Thompson, Dooley sends Peggy with the team to the coordinates on the Russian border. There, as agreed, the task force meets the "Howling Commandos", consisting of Peggy's old comrade-in-arms "Dum Dum" Dugan, "Happy Sam" Sawyer, "Junior" Juniper and "Pinky" Pinkerton. Meanwhile, Agent Sousa at the SSR discovers in the photos from Raymond's Club that the blonde woman has two scars in the same place as Peggy, whereupon Sousa realizes that the woman is Peggy. Chief Dooley meanwhile meets a journalist who explains to him that Howard Stark had an argument with a military general there after the Battle of Finow, whereupon Stark ended his cooperation with the army. Meanwhile, on the Russian border, the team goes to an abandoned building complex where Russian girls, including Dottie Underwood, were trained to be killers in 1937 when they encounter a crying girl who attacks Dugan and shoots Juniper before fleeing . Eventually the group comes across a prison cell with two inmates, an engineer and his psychiatrist Dr. Ivchenko, who explains that Stark is not present and that Leviathan only has his plans to build a weapon, which they hired the engineer to do. You can free the two of them before they are surprised by Leviathan soldiers. The engineer dies in the battle, but the rest can flee. Peggy says goodbye to the Howling Commandos and goes to talk to Agent Thompson and Dr. Ivchenko on his way back to New York.

At the SSR, Dr. Ivchenko Chief Roger Dooley, how he was forced to work for Leviathan two years ago. Peggy believes that the thief of Stark's weapons is an agent trained at the Russian training camp, as a woman would have had easy access to Stark's vault through a liaison with Stark. With that in mind, Peggy plans, with Jarvis' help, to visit all of the women Stark has had contact with in the past few months. Meanwhile, Agent Sousa interrogates Sheldon McFee, who identifies Peggy in a photo of her as his attacker, who attacked him before his arrest. In the SSR area, Dr. Ivchenko secretly through an open window using light signals and Morse code with Dottie Underwood, who was in the building opposite. He orders her to kill Peggy before attempting to steal a specific item, which reveals that the two are working together. In their search for the perpetrator, Peggy and Jarvis come across a seemingly uninhabited apartment in which there is a bed with a scratched frame, which Peggy explains by the fact that the resident tied herself to the bed to sleep, an educational measure that the girls used to do was applied in the training camp. In a pub, the two are finally ambushed by SSR agents, including Agent Thompson, who Peggy can all turn off before she finally has to flee from Agent Sousa. In the SSR headquarters, Dr. Ivchenko assigned agent Yauch, whom he manipulated with a special hypnosis method, with which he had previously tried unsuccessfully on Dooley. After he gets Yauch to tell him the way to Stark's weapons and the exit, he lets the agent commit suicide. Meanwhile, Dottie manages to numb Peggy, who is on the run, by kissing her with anesthetized lipstick, but fails to kill her before the SSR arrives and arrests Peggy.

Peggy is interrogated at the SSR station, but does not admit guilt and instead points out that the real enemy is still at large. Suddenly Edwin Jarvis appears, who wants to free Peggy with a falsified confession from Howard Stark. Chief Dooley lets Peggy and Jarvis stay at the station for the time being, where the two then watch Dr. Ivchenko secretly communicated with Morse code at the window of Dooley's office. They decide to reveal the truth, whereupon Peggy tells Dooley, Thompson and Sousa that she actually did her own research outside of the SSR and that the confession is not real. Dooley struggles to believe Peggy, but has the building across the street examined to be on the safe side. Dr. Ivchenko finally tries again to get Dooley under his control, which works this time. This then locks Peggy and Jarvis in a room with presence of mind and lets Dr. Ivchenko steal Object 17 from the laboratory before he escapes in the car with Dottie Underwood, who escaped the agents in the other building. Peggy and Jarvis can be freed by Agent Thompson and rush to Dooley, who, dazed by the brain manipulation, is wearing a pulsating vest that he has put on under the influence of the doctor. This is an immature invention by Stark, which is supposed to serve as a heat supplier for soldiers in cold months, but has an unstable battery that is now gradually overheating. Shortly before the vest threatens to explode, Dooley sees only one option: he snatches Thompson's pistol, shoots a window and jumps out, just in time for the vest to explode in midair. Dr. Ivchenko and Dottie are testing Object 17 in a movie theater, and it is revealed that it is a nerve gas that drives people crazy, leading to a mass brawl.
8th	8th	That's just the beginning	Valediction	Feb. 24, 2015	15th July 2015	Christopher Misiano	Michele Fazekas & Tara Butters	4.02 million
After investigating the violently murdered moviegoers, Howard Stark appears to warn the SSR about the dangerousness of the gas. He explains that the gas called "Midnight Oil" was originally designed to keep soldiers from getting tired during war, but that it was still so immature that it caused the very psychoses that drove people insane. A military general used this effect to attack a Russian army near Finow, which then destroyed itself. It also turns out that the Leviathan supporters, who needed a voice device to communicate, had their larynx removed to save them from suffocating from Midnight Oil. Stark then agreed to hold a public press conference to announce that he was innocent and to ask Ivchenko, whose real name was Dr. Johann Fennhoff is to attract. Stark is shot at on this and then brought into a car that, contrary to his expectations, brings him to his hangar, where Dr. Fennhoff expected. This reveals to Stark that he was also present at the Battle of Finow and had to watch with a gas mask as his comrades, including his brother, brutally killed each other. When the SSR team rushes to the airfield, Stark, influenced by Fennhoff's thought manipulation, is already in one of his planes to drop the poison gas over New York City. Peggy finds Dr. Fennhoff and Dottie in the command center, where she puts Dottie to flight in battle. Peggy then talks to Stark over the radio until he comes to his senses and then turns back, while Fennhoff is arrested. Jarvis finally shows Peggy her new dormitory, a Howard Stark mansion, and hands her the ampoule of Captain America's blood, which she finally empties over the East River. Dr. Fennhoff, who now wears a muzzle, is locked in a cell with Arnim Zola, who immediately offers him to work with him.

While the SSR in New York, under the direction of Jack Thompson, succeeds in ambushing Dottie Underwood during a bank robbery, the SSR, under the supervision of the new chief of Los Angeles , Daniel Sousa, finds the frozen body of a woman in the summer time a lake. Thompson sends Peggy Carter to LA as backup, where she and Sousa and the police officer Andrew Henry discover that the corpse gives off a strange glow in the dark, which a doctor attributes to working with a particle accelerator. Peggy gains access to the relevant research company, Isodyne Energy, and meets scientist Jason Wilkes, who reveals to her that the victim had an affair with the chairman of Isodyne, Calvin Chadwick. Since Howard Stark is making his villa available to Peggy for her stay, she receives the support of Edwin Jarvis, with whom she interviewed Chadwick and his wife, actress Whitney Frost, at a horse race, albeit without success. Shortly afterwards, Peggy, Sousa and Henry find the responsible pathologist frozen and Peggy consults Wilkes, who is kidnapped by Henry when he too begins to be absorbed by the frost. Peggy and Sousa track and catch Henry's car, and it turns out that he was hired to make the woman's body look like it was killed before freezing. Due to the contact with the freezing agent, he slowly dies from it himself, which is why he asked the unsuspecting Wilkes for an antidote. Before Peggy can question him, Henry is shot dead by a police officer paid by Chadwick. Meanwhile in New York, Dottie is handed over to the FBI with the explanation to Thompson that the SSR will be replaced by another peacetime organization. Then it is shown how Wilkes examines a mysterious matter in his laboratory.
10	2	Zero matter	A view in the dark	Jan. 19, 2016	4th May 2016	Lawrence Trilling	Eric Pearson & Lindsey Allen	3.18 million
A secret council, which includes Calvin Chadwick, lets a hit man steal the ice corpse from the care of the SSR, killing two agents. As it turns out, this council decided to close Isodyne without Chadwick's involvement and justified this to Chadwick by stating that the poor return on the project no longer justified the high level of attention. In search of the background to Isodyne's sudden eviction, Peggy meets Jason Wilkes, who immediately arranges a meeting to let her know about the research project. At the observatory, Wilkes explains to Peggy on the basis of film recordings that it is “zero matter”, an unknown black substance that was left behind by Isodyne after an atomic bomb test. When he was telling her that he was responsible for the construction of the Isodyne protective chamber, they were ambushed by several assassins from the council who were chasing them, but the two managed to escape by car. Peggy and Wilkes decide to steal the zero matter and go to the laboratory the next evening. While Peggy provides a distraction outside the building, Wilkes fills the matter into a container, but is surprised by Whitney Frost with a pistol, which despite the failure of her husband has not yet given up on the project. In the fight over the container, it then falls to the ground and breaks, whereupon the zero matter escapes with a huge pressure wave. From then on, Wilkes has disappeared and is pronounced dead, which is a burden for Peggy in view of the affection he has developed for him. Frost, on the other hand, was able to escape in time, but absorbed some of the zero matter in the incident.
11	3	The Arena Club	Better Angels	Jan. 26, 2016	May 11, 2016	David Platt	Jose Molina	2.90 million
Peggy shows Howard Stark the film about the emergence of zero matter and receives a hint from him that the pin she was able to steal from her pursuers in the observatory comes from the elegant "Arena Club". At the SSR, Peggy is expected by Chief Thompson, who has come from New York to close the Isodyne case but cannot get Peggy to sign the incident report, as Wilkes - like the press - is portraying Wilkes as a communist spy. As Stark and several women overrun the Arena Club at once, Peggy can look around unnoticed and by chance ends up in the secret room of the council, which the Arena Club serves as a pretext. There she finds newspapers printed for the future announcing the election of Chadwick as Senator, which she reports on after her return to the precinct to Thompson, who, however, cannot be convinced without evidence, and instead the video tape to his mentor from the FBI, Vernon Masters to zero matter. After Stark discovers in his villa that the force of gravity behaves differently in Peggy's surroundings, he uses a serum made himself from silver nitrate to bring out the intangible Wilkes who draws her attention to Whitney Frost before he disappears again. As a result of the questioning by Peggy, Frost persuades Chadwick to put the council's killer on Peggy, who she can fend off that evening with the help of Jarvis. In the end, Stark succeeds in making Wilkes permanently visible and then sets off for Peru to consult a researcher friend. While Chief Sousa informs Peggy of his discovery that Frost was once a gifted scientist at Isodyne, Thompson is accepted by Masters in the Arena Club and sees the newspaper Peggy mentioned with Chadwick's election victory. When Frost is harassed by her director while she is working in the preparation room, she unintentionally uses the zero matter to kill and absorb him.
12	4th	Whatever you want	Smoke & Mirrors	Feb. 2, 2016	May 11, 2016	David Platt	Sue Chung	2.77 million
In 1940 Peggy got engaged while working as a code breaker in Bletchley Park and turned down an offer from the SOE . As it turns out later, this was initiated by her war-fighting brother Michael, who wants to prevent Peggy from giving up her combative nature for a bourgeois life. When Peggy received the news of her brother's death shortly afterwards, she granted him his wish and went to the SOE - without getting married. From Whitney Frost's past, we learn that she had to turn away from her early-developed scientific talent after she was rejected by the university because of her gender. Instead, she was discovered in Hollywood in 1934 by a talent agent who helped her to a film career. In 1947 Peggy recognizes Chadwick's driver as her attacker after being shadowed and then finds out his name, Rufus Hunt, and place of residence. During a visit, Peggy and Jarvis capture Hunt with a tranquilizer, whereupon Peggy questions him with Sousa. By giving Peggy Hunt a harmless cold serum, which she sells to him as a deadly virus, she leads him to reveal members and locations of the Council of Nine in hopes of the antidote. After Sousa prepares a raid on the SSR, but Vernon Masters prevents it from the FBI, he and Peggy Hunt escape with a bugging device so that they can eavesdrop on him. Hunt goes to Chadwick and tells him about the run-up with Peggy and the information he revealed to her. Frustrated by his failure, Frost, who is also present, uses the zero matter, the control of which she has previously practiced on mice, and absorbs Hunt. While Peggy and the rest can only follow the noises up to Hunt's death, Frost shows the shocked Chadwick the previously hidden black veins on her temple, which spread with every further absorption.

Wilkes involuntarily picks up null matter from a tissue sample captured by Sousa from the woman found in the ice and can then trace the location of the corpse. In an attempt to steal it, Peggy and Jarvis sneak through a ventilation shaft into a cold store and watch through a grille how Frost, accompanied by Chadwick, removes the remaining zero matter from the corpse and expresses their intention to acquire atomic bombs to produce more zero matter . Since only those of Roxxon come into question for Wilkes and Jarvis in the hiding place, Peggy disguised as a secretary breaks in and steals a usable key from Hugh Jones. While Frost persuades her ex-boyfriend, gang boss Joseph Manfredi, to provide her with men to transport the bombs, Peggy, Sousa and Jarvis get SSR scientist Samberly and agent Rose to reinforce the planned defusing of the bombs as a porter, the SSR area, disguised from the outside as an artist agency, protected from uninvited guests, with the team. By incapacitating the Roxxon guards with a self-made pulse weapon, Samberly can use Jones' key to gain access to the basement, where the bombs that Frost is already desperately looking for are stored. Peggy's team finds the right room, but when the door locks behind Jarvis and he is forced to use Sousa's instructions to remove the fuel rods from the two bombs. Meanwhile, Peggy stands in the way of the fleeing Frost and Chadwick, but falls down a floor in a duel with Frost and is pierced by a concrete rod on impact. After Rose and Samberly keep the fuel rods safe and Peggy is brought to Sousa's fiancé, the nurse Violet, and treated by her, she retires in Stark's mansion and has to watch Wilkes become invisible again.

Wilkes' renewed invisibility disappears after a short time, but fearing that the zero matter could soon overwhelm him completely, he decides to build a stabilizing containment cell for himself. Since Wilkes needs zero matter for this and this is only accessible through Frost's blood, he develops a special blood collection device that Peggy plans to use at Chadwick's evening campaign gala. Due to the threat of detection and her injury, Peggy needs a replacement for this mission and finds him in Dottie Underwood, who helps her to escape from prison. After being briefed on her job, Peggy sends Dottie, accompanied by Jarvis, to the ball, where the latter distracts Chief Thompson, who also appeared, to give Dottie the opportunity to get to Frost unseen. After Dottie draws the blood from this in the toilet in an intended collision, she hides in the secret room of the council, where she then witnesses a meeting in which Frost presents those present with her control over the null matter. However, when she is tied up by security guards and it turns out that Chadwick had arranged the meeting only for the purpose of her arrest, she angrily uses Null Matter to free herself and absorb Chadwick and half of the councilors, making her the new head appoints the council. On leaving the room, Dottie is discovered and knocked down by Thompson, losing the blood sample that Jarvis can then retrieve. Survivor Hugh Jones informs Vernon Masters of Frost's takeover of the council, which he attributes to the negligence of his protégé Thompson in dealing with Agent Carter. At Masters' request to get her out of the way, Thompson visits Peggy in Stark's mansion and warns her of the consequences her actions could have; the captured Dottie is meanwhile brought to Frost.

After an unsuccessful questioning of Dottie by Masters, Frost takes care of her personally and intimidates Dottie using the zero matter in such a way that it reveals Peggy's lair to her. While Wilkes succeeds in completing his containment chamber, in which his body is fully manifested again with the help of the zero matter from Frost, the team receives a signal from the tracking transmitter, which they had previously attached to Dottie's chain, but in which Peggy suspects an ambush. Nevertheless, she goes with Jarvis to the localized place, Frost's mansion, and gains access to the property, on which they are captured and locked up to Dottie due to a supposed malfunction of an invention brought with them by Stark. After they can escape quickly and the guards are incapacitated by the delayed triggering of a blast from Stark's weapon, Dottie reveals that Frost only wanted to lure Peggy here to get the zero matter back from Wilkes' mansion. However, since Wilkes withstands Frost's attack attempt and this cannot persuade him to cooperate afterwards, she beats him with the help of her partner Joseph Manfredi Ko, who is newly accepted into the council, and has him dragged to the car. Jarvis' wife Ana stands in their way and Frost shoots them in the stomach in view of Peggy and Jarvis approaching in the car, in order to flee with Manfredi and Wilkes. Peggy and Jarvis take Ana to the hospital and her absence takes advantage of Dottie trapped in the trunk to escape, killing a policeman. Since Chief Sousa shows Masters no interest in investigating the break-in at Roxxon, and Masters realizes that he wants to protect Carter, he has Sousa beaten up that night before dismissing him the next day and temporarily calling himself SSR- Chief of LA appoints.

With Frost's consent, Peggy has Samberly forgeries of the uranium rods and, on the basis of construction plans sent by telegram, has Stark made a gamma cannon that is said to be able to destroy zero matter. After Chief Thompson confronts Peggy with a file about her alleged war crimes, which Peggy rejects, Frost and Manfredi meet, but this fails because Frost recognizes the dummies by accidentally opening the suitcase with the uranium sticks and Peggy and Sousa have to flee with Wilkes. While on the run, Wilkes forces Sousa with a rifle to reveal the whereabouts of the fuel rods before it penetrates the wall of the car with the help of the zero matter and is picked up by Frost's men. Frost, who apparently managed to convince Wilkes of her visions, informs Masters, who shortly after steals the fuel rods from their hiding place in a safe at the SSR, but is discovered by Thompson. Masters manages to get Thompson out of the way with an amnesia device and take the uranium with them, but Peggy and Sousa subsequently find the note of the coordinates of the Isodyne test site, which Thompson overheard in a telephone conversation between Masters and Frost, and get to grips with the entire process Team on the way there. When Frost and Wilkes finally detonate the atomic bomb and Wilkes is sucked into the resulting zero matter, Samberly fires on Peggy's orders with the gamma cannon at the zero matter, which completely accumulates in Wilkes. Meanwhile, the vengeful Jarvis, pursued by Peggy, goes to Frost and shoots her with the pistol, which has no effect, whereupon he and Peggy are captured.

After Peggy and Jarvis are able to free themselves from the prisoner truck in Frost's convoy and then hijack it with a feint, Peggy finds out at the SSR that Sousa and Samberly have entered into a cooperation with Masters and Thompson to get the gamma cannon to be used against Frost by Samberly to prepare at handover. In their hiding place, the latter tries unsuccessfully to extract the zero matter from Wilkes, who has been warning of the devastating damage of a possible outbreak since its inception. Thompson agrees, instead of asking Masters Frost for a delay in delivery of the gamma cannon, and in truth uses this clash to betray Frost's plan to wipe it out by the cannon and in return to demand a seat on the council. After returning to the team, Thompson makes his way to Frost with Masters and the gamma cannon, while Peggy and Sousa cannot follow them due to their sabotaged car and suspect an ambush by Masters. Before they go to Frost in any other way, however, Samberly informs them that he converted the gamma cannon into a bomb at Thompson's behest, with which he wants to kill both Frost and the corrupt Masters. In fact, the cannon fails in Masters' attempt to murder Frost, who then leaves Thompson to Masters to operate the remote detonator of the bomb from a safe distance. However, this shows no effect due to a jamming signal constructed by Samberly, which Peggy commissioned to start an attempt to rescue Wilkes in the meantime. But when the latter resists and stumbles to Frost in the struggle with the zero matter, Thompson forces Samberly to arm the detonator again, which leads to Peggy threatening him with the gun. In the presence of Frost and Masters, Wilkes is finally no longer able to hold the zero matter and explosively discharges it into the room.

After the shock of the pressure wave penetrating the building, Peggy, Thompson and Sousa bring Wilkes, who has now been completely freed from the zero matter, outside and are followed by Frost, who has taken up the zero matter, but is hit by the returning Howard Stark in the car and the team must let escape. Concerned about Frost, who from now on is only concerned with finding a way to open a zero-matter gap without an atom bomb, her new lover Manfredi asks the SSR team for help and meets Stark with a former business partner. He suggests setting a trap for Frost by using her recordings to create a crack yourself, and then using the gamma cannon to remove the zero matter from her. Since Frost rarely leaves their room, Manfredi lures them out under a pretext, giving Peggy and Sousa the opportunity to take photos of their notes. With this, Stark, Wilkes and Samberly build a crack generator and use it to create a crack in Stark's film studios, which shortly afterwards, as expected, reaches frost. After the zero matter can be withdrawn with the help of the gamma cannon, it is not available due to its reload time to close the rift, which is gradually beginning to become unstable and threatens to spread. Sousa tries to switch off the crack generator manually, secured with a fire hose from the backdrop, but the attraction of the gap prevents him from doing so. Based on an idea, Jarvis then places the core of the gamma cannon in Stark's hovering car and lets it fly into the gap, which actually closes it. While Frost then ends up in the psychiatric ward and Peggy decides not to fly back to New York for the time being because of the affectionate Sousa, Thompson is gunned down in his hotel room by a killer who takes Peggy's war files with him.

Mike Hale ( New York Times ) describes Agent Carter at the start of the first season as a successful mixture that combines comic book science fiction , elements of screwball comedy , a nostalgic view of the post-war period, feminist aspects and action film elements .

After completing the first season, Adam Arndt ( Serienjunkies.de ) found the sequence of the first three episodes too similar. In the later episodes, the build-up of tension was also clearly similar, so that its effect wore off. The strengths of the series are the main characters and the chemistry between them, especially in the Peggy / Jarvis team. The authors also created suitable background stories and individual traits for the secondary characters. After a good build-up in the previous episodes, the final gave away potential, according to Arndt. The bottom line is that Marvel's agent Carter has now paved the way for more female characters from the Marvel universe into the film medium.
