'Agent Carter' Season 1 Episode 6 'A Sin to Err' Review

Non Spoiler Review- Probably the best episode of 'Agent Carter ' so far that increased the tension of the series and set up some more interesting subplots. I'm eagerly anticipating next week's episode. 

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

Highlights of the episode

1. Dottie KO's Peggy- A crazy part of the episode was when Dottie ran into Peggy and knocked her out with Peggy's lipstick and SSR agents arrive and take advantage of the fact that Peggy is unconscious. I'm sure Peggy could have escaped had Dottie not ran into her. I'm curious if Dottie will come after Peggy again since she was ordered to kill her.
2. Hunt for Peggy- When the SSR decided to hunt for Peggy, it reminded me of the SHIELD hunt for Steve Rogers in 'Captain America The Winter Soldier'. Especially when Chief Dooley was saying to watch everywhere for her just like when Stilwell said to monitor all cameras, etc. I thought that connection was interesting since the two characters are closely related. I also liked that Peggy's friend helped out Peggy by acting. 
3. Communication between buildings- I thought the communication between the Russian doctor and Dottie was very cool and reminiscent of spy communication where he made hand gestures that Dottie viewed through a sniper which she used to communicate with the reflection of the sun on the scope. I hope for more spy related things like this and think the Russian doctor was very involved in the Black Widow program because he seemed to know Dottie. 

4. Hypnosis- So the doctor that Agent Carter and the Howling Commandos rescued last week is actually evil as he hypnotizes members of the SSR and acts very sinister. I was somewhat surprised by this but I expected there to be more behind the doctor than what  appeared oink the surface. 
5. Jarvis bribes a kid- One hilarious moment of the episode was when Jarvis was freaked out by a young child who was hanging around while Peggy was investigating an apartment and Jarvis gives the kid a nickel to convince him to leave. I hope for more humor like this in the show and I think it would be funny if the kid returned to antagonize Jarvis in a future episode.
