* SigilSpam: Clarifying the pin from the previous episode, Calvin Chadwick's club has a logo that is practically identical with Project Distant Star Return, a HYDRA operation. At this time and place in the MCU, it represents the Council of Nine, confirmed by WordOfGod to be the MCU equivalent of the Secret Empire, a subsidiary of HYDRA.

* FridgeLogic: The film Wilkes shows Peggy of the Zero Matter explosion shows the rift pulling in everything around it, from rocks, to people, even trucks, some of them dragged in from ''behind'' the camera... so why wasn't the camera itself dragged in?

* BaitAndSwitch: Wilkes asks Peggy about her life story. The next time we cut back to her, she's saying "And suddenly, I was alone. I had nowhere to turn. And it dawned on me that I was going to have to face this all by myself." This all sounds like she's describing what happened after Steve Rogers sacrificed himself, but in actuality she's describing a schoolgirl prank gone wrong.



* TheWorfEffect: According to Sousa, two SSR agents who were ordered to transport Jane Scott's body, one of them [[InformedAbility was a marine with three tours while the other one had black belt]]. They're effortlessly killed by the assassin Rufus Hunt.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Averted as with the previous episode, this time thanks to the DeliberateValuesDissonance from above. Sousa refers to the Dunbar Hotel as popular with the "coloreds". That would have been the polite and acceptable term at the time.

Doesn't apply because Peggy and Sousa were never together. She is not his ex.

* NeverFoundTheBody: Wilkes seems to die in the Zero Matter explosion. No body is found, but then Zero Matter doesn't leave bodies. The more suspicious part is that Frost managed to escape despite standing right next to him at the time.

While this seems quite likely due to a very similar symbol being used from Ao S, when questioned in an interview about it, Michelle Fazekas and Tara Butters shot down the idea.
