* The whole sting operation to [[spoiler:capture Dottie]], executed flawlessly by Peggy and the SSR New York office. Dottie herself goes down ''hard'' after Peggy wallops her in the back of the head with a coin bag to end the fight they had inside the bank vault, treating us to a slow-mow shot of the coins scattering out of the bag.

* Although some disliked the changes to Madame Masque's character, there's something almost inspiring in the way the writers transformed Whitney Frost. The original character is complex and has a decades-spanning HeelFaceRevolvingDoor status, but her turns always motivated by her love for a man, mostly in the context of romantic relationships or the fear of not having them after her accident makes her (in her opinion) less desirable. Agent Carter's Whitney Frost ''loves'' the power that comes with her disfigurement and doesn't care about her appearance, which was a way to make a living using guillible men at best and a curse that stood in the way of the credibility she craved to obtain at worst.

* A pretty dark one. As a little girl, famous movie star Whitney Frost dreamt to be a scientist, but found out that no one cared about her genius, and she could only exploit her pretty face. She finds out that even that is threatened by the emergence of a superpower like none other. What's her reaction ? [[spoiler: Experiment, take control of her powers and use them to get rid of someone who threatened her, her husband and their dream, running the risk to be disfigured. In that scene, after taking out the enemy, she just turns around, elated that she succeeded, and revealing her enlarged infection mark. Turns out after giving up her dream career a first time, she ''loves'' not being just a pretty face.]]

* Credit should also be given to Howard basically busting into the Arena Club[[note]]think the Diogenes Club from SherlockHolmes and any other old boys' club, only with more stringent and misogynistic rules[[/note]] with a harem to distract everyone (which allows Peggy to infiltrate the Council of Nine's premises undetected). When he employs RefugeInAudacity and AwesomeEgo at work, it's really nice to see it produce results.

-->'''Peggy''': I think you're a man out for his own gain, no matter you're charging. You are constantly finding holes to slither into, in the hope of finding loose change, only to cry when you're bitten by another snake. You are a man who says "I love you" whilst looking over a woman's shoulder into a mirror. Steve Rogers dedicated his mind, his body, his life, to the SSR and to this country, not to your bank account. I made the same pledge, but I’m not as good as Steve was. I forgot my pledge running around for you like a corporate spy. So thank you, Howard, for reminding me who Steve was, and who I aspire to be. For all I know, you ''did'' steal your inventions.

* [[http://www.thetvjunkies.com/agent-carter-a-heros-value/ Agent Carter: A Hero’s Value.]] In particular, this quote:
-->"Peggy spent so long trying to find a way to make her colleagues respect her, but what she realized was that you don’t need validation from others to feel important. Peggy Carter is such an impressive role model for girls to watch on television. She even rejected Sousa’s offer for a date, opting to move in with Angie instead (I can hear the Cartinelli shippers cheering from here). It’s a fantastic ending that completely challenged the way we wanted the story to go. Regardless, we know she eventually gets her due, going down in history as one of the greatest agents in SHIELD history."
