Plot
Peggy Carter and Edwin Jarvis investigate the women that Howard Stark has been involved with over the last six months, believing that a female Leviathan operative may have been used against Stark and to kill Ray Krzeminski, but their search is unsuccessful. Daniel Sousa reveals to Roger Dooley that Carter is an apparent traitor, and all agents are tasked with tracking her down. They eventually corner her and Jarvis, but Carter fights them off. During the commotion, Dr. Ivchenko, who is actually working for Leviathan, hypnotizes Agent Yauch, who reveals that only Agent Dooley can access Stark's weapons. Yauch shows Ivchenko how to get out of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), before Ivchenko forces him to commit suicide by jumping off a building. Carter retrieves Steve Rogers' blood from her apartment which she had earlier hidden. As she tries to escape the building, she is knocked out by Dottie Underwood, but not before realizing that Underwood is the Leviathan operative. Underwood is about to kill Carter when Jack Thompson and Sousa arrive. She feigns ignorance, and the agents arrest Carter.
