[[WMG: Dottie will kill Whitney Frost]]
Because however much she might want to kill her, Peggy's priority will be to expose Whitney and bring her to justice for her various crimes (the first of which is framing an innocent man for the zero matter explosion which kicked off the whole mess), despite how unstable and dangerous Whitney is. Cue Dottie, who will be coming after Whitney for making her talk during torture, probably the first time she's ever done so since her training. So when Peggy's got Whitney locked away (possibly in an upgraded version of the same device Wilkes built to make himself tangible), Dottie will break into the facility, deliver an appropriate PreMortemOneLiner and finish Whitney Frost once and for all.

[[WMG: Sharon Carter is Peggy's granddaughter.]]
Occam's razor, everyone. Unless I missed the creators confirming otherwise, there's no need for elaborate theories about missing siblings or children raised as nieces/nephews, Sharon's just Peggy's granddaughter rather than her grand-niece. It's not a huge change from the comics, I could easily see them doing it. Sure, it might make a Sharon-Steve romance a teensy bit squickier, but looking at how packed ''Civil War'' is going to be, I think their "romance" may consist of just bonding over Peggy's death and having a few touching moments. And if that's the case, her being her granddaughter would actually make those scenes more heartwarming.

A major conspiracy managed to penetrate the government to the point where every attempt to investigate it could be hamstrung by people they had influence with. The counter the government comes up with? A new agency that exists outside of standard channels so they can't be bullied or blocked from doing what is necessary to complete their mission.

[[WMG: The Council of Nine will team up with/give an assist to the SSR to take Whitney down.]]
At the end of 'The Atomic Job' Chadwick knows the SSR was there to stop them from stealing the bombs, at the end of the ep he makes a phone call to get an emergency meeting of the Council. Either he's going to try to get them on Whitney's page, or beg for help in taking her down.

The Council whose already been shown to take extreme actions to get anything and everything on Zero Matter buried, know that letting Whitney continue is a BAD idea, and they now in a way owe the SSR, if they hadn't gotten to the bombs first Whitney would be in the test site setting them off and it's game over. Previews for the next ep show Peggy recruiting Dottie to help take down Whitney. Last time we saw Dottie she was in FBI/Council custody, so they on the sly arrange for Peggy to take custody of Dottie and allow Peggy more or less free reign to take Whitney out.

Council has the best shot of staying ahead with this plan, they can remain hands off and let Peggy go at it. If she fails...nothing lost from that end, if she wins then they have one less loose end out there to worry about.

[[WMG: Zero Matter really does come from another dimension, and this will tie in to ''Doctor Strange''.]]
Wilkes hypothesizes that zero matter comes from another dimension, and since becoming invisible he's felt like he's been "pulled" away from the world. In an interview posted on the show's Facebook page, a scientist they consulted for the show said that he conceived of Wilkes' intangibility/invisibility as being due to him existing halfway in the dimension that zero matter comes from, not moving in the usual three-dimensional way.

Now, given that (1) Marvel is treating magic as simply highly advanced or exotic science, (2) they like to tie in all of their different franchises, and (3) the dimension-hopping Doctor Strange is getting his film debut later this year, I think it's likely that the dimension zero matter comes from is a hint of that new part of the MCU, and we'll be getting a glimpse of it by the end of this season. In addition, zero matter may reappear in Doctor Strange, possibly under a different name so as not to alienate new viewers.

Additionally, should Wilkes not be returned to normal by the end of the season and get pulled all the way into another dimension (see below for another theory of mine about this), he may have a brief appearance in ''Doctor Strange'', in the other dimension itself and/or in S.H.I.E.L.D. records that reveal how they're already aware of other dimensions thanks to Wilkes.

[[WMG: Wilkes will make a heroic sacrifice at the end of season 2 to defeat Whitney Frost.]]
They both got their powers in the same accident, and in the superhero world that ties them together. If all else fails to stop her, it will likely fall to Wilkes to be the one to do it. Hopefully the heroic sacrifice won't entail his death but rather his passage to the dimension that zero matter comes from (see above for my theory on that). I kind of hope this doesn't happen because Peggy needs a break from losing her love interests, but from a narrative perspective it would make sense.

[[WMG: alternatively, the Lady in the Lake killer will show up again]]
Maybe not even until the very end of S2, or the beginning of S3 as a mythology hook. Or even turn out to have gone inactive because they ran afoul of Dottie/Leviathan, before the Stark robbery? (Dottie being targeted by the LotLK would certainly be a deliciously UpToEleven example of TheDogBitesBack.




to:

** I was actually referring to Sharon being Peggy's great-niece (or in this case, grand-daughter or great-grandaughter). So yes, Peggy and Steve's child would almost have to be male in order for Sharon's surname to be Carter as well. As for the Squick-avoidance (which is a very fair point); Sharon and Steve don't show any signs of being romantically interested in each other ''in the MCU''. There's a few hints, but these could just as easily be interpreted as platonic... especially on Sharon's part. Because she was part of Steve's protection detail... or because ''she'' knows that they're related?

** possibly delayed: in 'Smoke and Mirrors' (ep 2x04), the person above starts having visions of the Zero Matter 'tear in space' that showed up in that experimental record footage, and talks to Peggy about feeling like they're 'being called from far away' and 'it would be so easy to let go'. [[spoiler: Poor Wilkes]] might eventually get sucked back into that tear in space... and the other end could very well be on Maveth.

[[WMG:Zero Matter is [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD Gravitonium]].]]
It certainly seems to share the black, perpetually flowing appearance as well as the gravity-warping powers of the substance later manipulated by Ian Quinn and Franklin Hall. The larger size of their orb probably means that more was obtained on Earth between the 1940s and the modern day, and the fact its actions seem so random here in this series is because the apparatus to control it (rather than just hold it) had not yet been invented.

[[WMG: further to the above; with all the rats/people/maybe even other things Whitney Frost absorbs, she is eventually going to overload into a big ball of Zero Matter that will become the Gravitonium deposit Ian Quinn discovers.]]
how she gets to wherever Quinn finds that deposit, I frankly dunno. Maybe an experimental Howard Stark device to attempt to [[spoiler: restore Jason Wilkes to tangibility]] is involved, in a last-ditch improvised effort to stop Whitney from becoming a new rip in space-time? (which turns out to lead back to Maveth; see above.)

The reason for this theory? ''What about Sharon Carter??'' We know that she's Peggy's niece (or, more accurately, great-niece), but Michael is the only sibling Peggy has (at least, no one mentions any other in ep 2x04). If he was married, then surely Peggy would have mentioned it, during the talk they have at her engagement party. So if he died during the war, presumably without a wife or issue, where did Sharon come from?

[[WMG: Peggy fell pregnant to Steve during the war, and her baby was adopted as her 'sibling']]
The other suggestion for Sharon's existence. In the MCU, Sharon has Steve's coloring, and a facial structure very like Peggy's. If Michael Carter did die in 1940 (see above), then who was Sharon's ancestor? Since her surname is Carter, it's not through Peggy's husband.
Alternatively, Steve and Peggy hook up during the war (the night of Bucky's wake is my personal bet), and Peggy doesn't find out about her pregnancy until after Steve's 'death'. Knowing how many people would love to get their hands on Steve's DNA, (the fuss over the vial in S1 illustrates the dangers vividly) Peggy hides the very idea of Steve having a child. She gets her parents to adopt the baby, claiming it as their own, so she can still be a part of her child's life. One of the reasons she comes to the US after the war is to distance herself enough from the baby that no one thinks she's oddly maternal over the child, and starts thinking about the implications.

[[WMG: Whitney Frost's face is going to fall off.]]
We've seen that every time Whitney absorbs someone with her Zero Matter powers, the black scar on her face starts to grow larger and appears to be following the outline of her face. Knowing the extra-dimensional properties Zero matter, what if the "scar" is actually a fissure between our world and wherever the Zero Matter came from? If she keeps this up then it's possible that the scar will continue to spread completely around Whitney's face until it essentially becomes a black hole. This would give new meaning to how her face is the mask that covers her true persona if it literally became a mask.

[[This Whitney Frost isn't the MCU Equivalent of Madame Masque.]]

The Whitney Frost we see in Agent Carter is a certifiable genius as well as a talented film actress. She also now appears to have powers due to her exposure to Darkforce energy. None of these traits particularly reflect the comic book version of Madame Masque, and when you add to that a lack of her iconic look (so far), a lack of connection to Maggia (so far, again. Though a member of Maggia is confirmed to appear at some point this season), and the fact that comic Madame Masque is a contemporary of Tony Stark's, we're left with only one (or more accurately two half) similarity/similarities -- Comic Whitney's intelligence is high but not genius level, and comic Whitney's name is also an assumed alias, though comic and MCU Whitney's real names differ.

With that being said, what if MCU Giulietta Nefaria, (the real name of Comic Whitney) is a character in the modern day? What if she really is a criminal mastermind with connections to Maggia who uses a golden mask to hide her scarred face? And what if, in a past bid to hide her connection to one of Maggia's most prominent members, Nefaria decided to assume the name of her favorite actress, Whitney Frost?

To finish out this WMG, I'll add a point about Agent Carter's Whitney Frost. What if she is a reimagined version of the New Warriors villain Asylum? In the comics, the original version of Asylum was an unnamed woman with Darkforce-based powers. So, plenty of room to expand and alter the character because the comic version has a very limited backstory and vaguely defined powers. Why, though, would the writers choose to use the name Whitney Frost? Perhaps it's because much like Madame Masque, Asylum's most recognizable feature is her gold mask.

Then, after Skull has disappeared and Zola himself is eventually recruited into newly-formed SHIELD, Zola used this chance to secretly rebuild HYDRA from within SHIELD. This time, he gave no crap about random alien artifacts that Skull was hunting possibly for most of his life. Zola wishes to return to organization's original goal and obsession: Retrieving the ancient Inhuman from Maveth. However, he isn't entirely trustful to these new HYDRA yet. Keep in mind that Gideon Malick once said that he doesn't think very highly of other leaders such as Daniel Whitehall or John Garrett. So, keeping secrets from each other doesn't seem to be uncommon among HYDRA leaders. The same thing can be said about Zola, he only shares his knowledge about Inhumans and ancient HYDRA's original goal to certain people and told them to pass this knowledge only to those who are reliable or trustworty. This is why the likes of Whitehall or Garrett are seemingly oblivious about HYDRA's true final goal for the ancient Inhuman. Garrett only cares about saving himself from death, only join HYDRA when he's disillusioned by SHIELD, and is ultimately never really loyal to HYDRA. Meanwhile, Whitehall hunts Obelisk, but ultimately he never knows what it really is and even needs Calvin Johnson to show him how it functions. No wonder Malick has no respect to them, because he is one of very few who knows about HYDRA's original and true goal. Another small evidence that HYDRA isn't just one group is, in ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', that Ward's HYDRA and Malick's HYDRA were initially separated group with different goals, too. Ward's HYDRA's goal is for petty reason, vengeance by destrying SHIELD, while Malick's HYDRA only sees SHIELD as mere obstacle and sticks with their original goal.


As for this show, Council of Nine could be "transition" between Red Skull's HYDRA and Modern HYDRA. They still work involving a possibly-alien thing, Zero Matter, to build weapons, just like what Red Skull's HYDRA did with Cosmic Cube. But they use the symbol that isn't from Red Skull's HYDRA's, but instead from ancient HYDRA's.

[[WMG:Council of Nine might be HYDRA, but not related with Red Skull's HYDRA.]]
And moreover, there are more than just one organization that claim themselves to be HYDRA in MCU throughout the years.

I want to point out that Modern HYDRA is not only different than Red Skull's HYDRA because they've moved on beyond its Nazi roots, but also their ''obsessions''. Modern HYDRA claims that they continue the ancient incarnation's goal: '''Inhuman''' and, possibly by extension, '''Kree'''. And what is the obsession of Red Skull's HYDRA? '''Asgardian''', or at least their powerful magical artifacts. Not to mention Red Skull's plane is named "Valkyrie", a title for various female Asgardian warriors in the comics.

As far as we can tell by seeing interaction between Sif and Vin-Takk, Asgardian and Kree respectively, from ''Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'', they are not only two different alien races, but they're also not in friendly terms. Is it just pure coincidence that Red Skull's HYDRA and Modern HYDRA have very different obsessions that could be contradict against each other? Sure, they unlikely know anything about unfriendly relation between these two alien races, but regardless, it's just very odd.

Meanwhile, we all know from ''The Winter Soldier'' that Modern HYDRA is, essentially, founded by Arnim Zola. But isn't Zola from Red Skull's HYDRA? True. But he might be not as loyal to Red Skull as one might think. He might be know about both Asgardian and Inhuman (and/or Kree). But he, knowing Red Skull's instability, decide to not being entirely honest. For Zola, it's more than enough that Red Skull learn about Asgardian artifact because if he ever found out about Kree/Inhuman, Skull's obsession can lead to an even more danger. Seriously, think about it, if Skull found out about Inhumans, he would've made good use of them to be his HYDRA soldiers. Is there any brilliant diabolical mastermind who doesn't want an army of superpowered soldiers? Of course not!

And it's not only Zola who keeps secrets about Inhumans, but also Werner Reinhardt a.k.a. Daniel Whitehall. He obtained the Obelisk in the 40's, right? But for an apprentice of Red Skull, he's quite indifferent to his mentor's supposed death. So it's possible that he knows about non-Asgardian artifact (although he doesn't seem to know that the Obelisk is Kree/Inhuman artifact, either) without telling Red Skull about it. This further cemented that how Red Skull is only feared, but not respected by his subordinates.

Then, after Skull has disappeared and Zola himself is eventually recruited into newly-formed SHIELD, Zola used this chance to secretly rebuild HYDRA from within SHIELD.
