Summary

Sam, Bucky, Zemo, John Walker, and Karli Morgenthau must all deal with the fall out from their actions.

Our Take

The Walker confrontation lands hard early on, and it’s satisfying to finally see consequences catch up with him, even if the show can’t quite let go of sympathizing with the guy. Sam’s shield training montage is a bit corny but earns its emotional payoff. The finale setup feels a little rushed though, cramming in a peace conference and a villain pivot in the last ten minutes. Worth watching, just uneven.
