I recapped and reviewed episode 1 already, and I’m late to the party getting to episode 2 but better late than never.
She’s shocked to see her lifelong hero standing in front of her, but before we get anywhere the credits roll.
Barton and Bishop go get some first aid supplies and then head to her apartment where he helps patch her up.
Things go fine until the thugs show up and toss some Molotov cocktails through her window.
They head to a safe house and then Hawkeye heads back to her pad, snags a firefighter disguise and heads up into the aftermath of the burn.
Grudgingly, our hero accepts the terms. It’s an act of kindness, giving the man his moment in the sun in exchange for the suit.
Back at her mother’s apartment, Kate and Jack—her soon to be stepfather—engage in a duel of words that eventually leads to an actual duel.
We’re meant to see this as a clue that Jack was in Armond’s place and could be the old man’s killer, but I’d be wary of red herrings.
Hawkeye, looking to get to the bottom of what exactly is going on, allows himself to be captured by the Eastern European thugs.
As the thugs interrogate him, he pretends not to know Kate Bishop—until she clumsily breaks through the glass ceiling and crashes to the floor.
The credits roll before we can find out who she is or what fate is in store for our heroes.
