In the video interview with her seen in ''Winter Soldier'', she mentions the guy she married was one of the soldiers saved by Cap from the Hydra factory. That included the Commandos. Thoughm she describes as a different incident than the POW rescue, [[note]] She says that a battalion was surrounded by the Enemy and Steve executed a breakthrough, and that he saved 1000 men, as opposed to 400 [=POWs=].

[[WMG: Michael Carter's arc for Season 3]]
Hayley Atwell indicated that the potential story for Season 3 [[http://www.cinemablend.com/television/What-Agent-Carter-Season-3-Would-Have-Been-About-142347.html would have involved examining her past and having some focus on her brother]][[note]]Article contains autoplaying video[[/note]]. Assuming this confirms the guess that Michael Carter never died, this might have led to the following possibilities:
*Michael Carter faked his death to join Leviathan. Rather than being a broken pedestal to Peggy, though, it will turn out to have been an assignment from the SOE to infiltrate the group.
*If he was a double agent in Leviathan for the SOE (or which ever group took over after the war finished), he would have learned that the "M. Carter" file was removed, and tracked the agent that took it to LA. To cover for his presence in America (since Leviathan is supposed to be a Russian intelligence group), he claimed that he was going to extract Dottie Underwood, after receiving intel that she escaped FBI custody.
*Michael would have been the shooter behind the police officer that was last seen watching Dottie, and Jack's killer in the cliffhanger.
*Barring the possibility of unseen siblings (related or adopted), Michael would live long enough to have a child, which would line up with Sharon Carter being Peggy's grand-niece.

[[WMG: the cliffhanger, along with other things, will be answered in a one shot comic book tie-in]]
Now that the show has been canceled, a comic called something to the effect of "Agent Carter: The Big Finale" will feature Peggy, Jarvis, and Sousa finding out and capturing Thompson's assailant. Then it will skip forward to show what happened to the characters. This will entail the canon detailing of Jarvis's death, what Wilkes did with his life and what he ultimately accomplished with his research, Sousa and Peggy's relationship, Zola infiltrating the SSR, Angie and Peggy meeting back up, and Peggy interacting with a child version of her niece Sharon Carter. Give this stuff closure, Marvel!

[[WMG: Whitney was never and will never be formally charged for anything]]
If word gets out that America's Sweetheart is being charged with multiple felonies, there will be a public uproar. Especially since there isn't much physical evidence, and eyewitness testimony (Which is known to be unreliable) will be tainted by a need to keep Zero Matter a secret and the fact that one key witness is a black man who was framed for treason. So what the SSR did instead was tell the public that Whitney Frost was unable to deal with the grief of losing her husband and suffered a massive breakdown (Something any outsider who sees her addressing open air as her husband will likely believe), and that her being confined to the mental hospital is for treatment rather than the incarceration it really is. That will keep the public happy until Hollywood anoints a new pretty face as America's Sweetheart (1-2 years, tops), at which point the world will forget about her.



* Sousa lost the use of his leg during the Battle of the Bulge, which is in the right timeframe and theater of the war for Cap to have turned up to help save the day. Between that and Danny and Peggy's last scene of the season has them making out, it seems at least plausible.

It seems up in the air whether or not the show will get a third season. It was mentioned this season where Sousa was when his leg got injured, and this could be where Cap saved him (I don't recall the place.). But given that this whole show is a [[ForegoneConclusion]], it seems believable that she would marry Sousa and have a happy ending.

[[WMG: The new "project" Stark is working on with Wilkes will be the basis of S.H.I.E.L.D.]]
If for no other reason than that we'll be deeply lucky if we get a third season, they have to move on to the creation of S.H.I.E.L.D. soon. It would make sense for Stark to start recruiting scientists for his organization, eventually selecting Peggy as the director once it's up and ready.

[[WMG: The redacted file Thompson obtained is actually on Peggy's brother]]
Every time we see him in flashback or Peggy mentions him, it's very positive and establishes the fact that he's pretty much the only male role model she ever had who encouraged her to be who she is. Plus, the file just says 'M. Carter.' While it could stand for 'Margaret,' it's obvious that it stands for 'Michael.' Peggy would have to integrate the memory of her beloved brother with this new information on the things he did. It would also be a way for her to acknowledge that sometimes, good people have to do bad things for the greater good.

[[WMG: The LA Branch of the SSR is due for a cleaning]]
The legalities behind Masters taking control from Sousa are kind of ambiguous, but virtually everyone there took it without question, and two people were even willing to accept orders to summarily execute a coworker and their former boss. If the SSR can be compromised into obeying illegal orders that readily, then the agency has problems.

* Different editor adding to this theory, Wilkes' disappearance untangles Peggy's love triangle, letting her stay with Sousa. As noted way above in a WMG this editor wrote last year, Sousa fits some of the known criteria for being Peggy's eventual husband: he was a soldier in Europe, possibly saved by Steve at some point. Wilkes wasn't a soldier that we know of, thus disqualifying him from the running. For bonus points, Wilkes' last words will be giving Peggy and Sousa his blessing.
