History Recap / AgentCarterS1E6ASinToErr

* SherlockScan: With only one visit to Dooley's office, Ivchenko can deduce that the SSR chief is having marital problems due to having [[ExiledToTheCouch a bed, toothbrush, and shaving tools in his office]] and the presence of a downturned photo frame while another with two kids in it is still standing.

* [[invoked]]SheReallyCanAct: In-universe. We first see Angie practicing for an audition, but her line reading is fairly stiff. When she needs to distract the SSR, though, Angie wills herself to turn on the waterworks and burst into tears over a fake anecdote about her grandma, making the agents too uncomfortable to keep questioning her. Peggy overhears it, and encourages her to keep trying out for theater after that.

* KickTheDog:
** Peggy can handle a JackBauerInterrogationTechnique. What she can't handle is Dooley telling her interrogator not to go easy on her "just because she's a girl".
** Dooley later tells Jarvis that he finds him "repulsive".

* DoubleStandard: {{Discussed}} by one of Howard's ex-flings.
-->'''Howard's ex:''' If a woman did what he does, you know what she would be called? A ''[[SlutShaming floozy!]]''

* [[spoiler:TheBadGuyWins]]: [[spoiler:Despite failing to actually kill Carter, "Dottie" manages to get her out of the way by delivering her right into the SSR's hands. Meanwhile, Ivchenko works himself further into the SSR's confidence, and while he doesn't manage to hypnotize Dooley, he does manage to gain valuable intelligence from Yauch and then disposes of him without a hitch.]]

* WhamEpisode: Both Dottie and the entire SSR turn against Peggy, and Dottie is arrested by the SSR. Dottie is revealed to be the hidden killer.

* RuleOfThree: Three girls slap Jarvis. He catches the third's hand, only for her to kick him in the shins.

-->'''Howard's ex:''' If a woman did what he does, you know what she would be called? A ''floozy!''

** JustifiedTrope: While Peggy doesn't know this, Black Widows CONTINUE to handcuff themselves to the bed each night.

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Every single one of the ex-lovers of Howard slaps Jarvis...except one who gives a GroinAttack.

* GroinAttack: One of the women Jarvis and Peggy interviews kicks him in the balls. Amusingly, he's still limping in the next scene.

* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Subverted. When going through the list of Howard Stark's most recent girlfriends, Peggy crosses out the most famous names out of doubt that they could really be undercover Leviathan assassins. Jarvis responds that the look he saw in Creator/GingerRogers's eyes as she left [[DeathGlare looked pretty murderous to him]].

-->'''Peggy:''' I need you to get me a list of all the women that Howard has entertained in the last year.
-->'''Jarvis:''' I don’t think there’s enough ink in the whole of New York to complete that request..
-->'''Peggy:''' Fine. Just in the last six months, then. Is that possible?
-->'''Jarvis:''' Oh yes. Yes, I suggest we start with the Western hemisphere.
-->'''Peggy:''' Oh, please.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Throughout the season, Peggy has been trying to gain the respect of her male colleagues, to get them to treat her as an equal. At the end of the episode, where they now know she's a OneWomanArmy, but also think she's a dangerous criminal in league with a traitor, having her handcuffed to a desk, about to be interrogated by Thompson and Sousa, Dooley's last instructions to them are, "Don't go easy on her because she's a woman." And we already know, "Don't go easy" can include the JackBauerInterrogationTechnique.

* CastingCouch: The man who was interviewing Dottie for an acting job was clearly trying to maneuver her into trying this until she decided to kill him.

-->'''Jarvis:''' I don’t think there’s enough ink in the whole of New York to complete that request.
-->'''Peggy:''' Okay, fine! Then, all of the women from the past six months?
-->'''Jarvis:''' Sounds good. Let's start with the Western hemisphere.
-->'''Peggy:''' ''(sighs)''
