'Agent Carter' Season 1 Episode 4 'The Blitzkrieg Button' Review

Non Spoiler Review- This episode brings us back from the show's one week hiatus with a return of Howard Stark, and a few intriguing  revelations. Overall, a decent episode but probably one of the weaker of the four episodes so far, but I think the Howling Commandos can make things a little more interesting next week. 

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode

1. Steve's blood- The weapon Stark requests peggy to retrieve from the SSR is revealed to be a sample of Steve Roger's blood that Stark thought could be revolutionary for medicine, etc. Peggy is angered by this and hides the blood asking Howard to leave. I'm curious if anyone will find the blood or what will become of it because there are no other super soldiers in the MCU currently.

2. Who is Dottie?- Dottie beats up the mobster boss who I assumed was going to be the antagonist of the episode and takes his automatic pistol. In an interview following the episode it was confirmed she's a product of an early version of the Black Widow program so there is now another link in the MCU. I'm curious to see if she's working for the Soviets.

3. Howard Stark- it was nice to see Howard Stark on the show again. I enjoy his interaction with Peggy and theres also more of his playboy persona present in the episode when he interacts with the other women living in the building with Peggy. I anticipate his return to the show as it continues and how involved he will be from this point onward. 

4. Stan Lee Cameo- Stan Lee is hidden by a newspaper and then leans over to Howard requesting th sports section, it wasn't as humorous as his cameos in 'Captain America The Winter Soldier' or 'The Amazing Spiderman' but it's always nice to have a Stan Lee cameo!

5. Russian Massacre- Chief Dooley takes a trip to Germany to interrogate a prisoner who could potentially have information regarding Stark's weapons, etc. I liked how he gave the prisoner the easy way out with cyanide and thought it was hilarious when he offered one to the guard saying it was a breath mint. In the interrogation we learn that there was no battle of Finow revealing they found the Russians massacred with no explanation. I'm curious if it was an experiment gone haywire, or aliens like the Kree.
