* DeadlyEuphemism: At the store, Dottie, pretending to be pregnant, asks for a pink blanket (implying a girl). The store lady responds Dottie's moving quickly since she doesn't look pregnant. Dottie responds: "It's happening sooner than you think", of course not meaning her "pregnancy".



* GenreSavvy: Despite knowing their target is a woman, Thompson is fully aware of how dangerous Dottie might be, having seen what a child Black Widow can do back in Russia.

Deleted Arson, Murder and Jaywalking example on the grounds that sexism is not wildly worse than incompetence. They are both flaws, but this isn\'t obviously the trope the creators were going for. YMMV, at best.

* TheBadGuyWins: Dr. Fennhoff / "Ivchenko" brainwashes Dooley with ease, gets his hands on [[MacGuffin Item 017]], [[KarmaHoudini escapes along with "Dottie"]] and gets Dooley KilledOffForReal by hypnotically forcing him into wearing an exploding vest. Both Leviathan agents then field-test Item 017 in a crowded movie theatre, which turns out to generate a HatePlague that causes everyone inside to turn on each other in an orgy of violence.

* HatePlague: What the gas from [[MacGuffin Item 017]] appears to generate. It's potent enough to get an entire movie theatre full of innocent bystanders to turn against each other, leaving no survivors.

* NeverASelfMadeWoman: The men of the [=SSR=] have always believed that Peggy only had a job with them because she was sleeping with Captain America, so it's no surprise that they believe the only reason she would turn on them is because she's sleeping with Howard Stark.

However, a little later we get to see what it is: a gas-induced HatePlague that can cause a room full of people to turn violent and rip each other to pieces.
