* AbandonShipping: Peggy/Jarvis, quite a popular pairing in the first season, died a rapid but peaceful death as a canon wish among fans with the introduction of Ana Jarvis in season 2, because she and Jarvis are so downright adorable and [[HappilyMarried devoted]] to each other that breaking them up just seems wrong. Cheering continues for the badass PlatonicLifePartners relationship between Peggy and Jarvis, however.

*** [[spoiler: In season 2, Dottie is positively thrilled at the idea of being interrogated (and possibly tortured) by Peggy, reacting to seeing her with girlish glee. The way she talks to Peggy can only be described as flirty, which may be because she knows it's the only way to get under her skin.]]

DruggedLipstick.
*** [[spoiler: In the season 2, 2 premier, Dottie is has gone so far to dye her hair brown and copy Peggy's red hat and blue jacket look. She's also positively thrilled at the idea of being interrogated (and possibly tortured) by Peggy, reacting to seeing her with girlish glee.

* FoeYay: Over the course of the series, Dottie becomes quite obsessed with Peggy; in the season two premiere Dottie has gone so far to dye her hair brown and copy Peggy's red hat and blue jack look, she's very ''excited'' at the prospect of being interrogated by Peggy, spends the short-lived session looking at and speaking to her in a flirtatious manner, and is visibly crushed when Jack takes over.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Ivchenko being introduced to bourbon after being freed (and his love-hate relationship with it, compared to his preferred choice of [[VodkaDrunkenski vodka]]) is a combination of both [[Heartwarming/AgentCarter heartwarming]] and [[Funny/AgentCarter funny]], and paints him as an endearing character. [[spoiler: The following episode reveals he's a Leviathan [[TheMole mole]] inside the SSR and even uses bourbon while coercing an agent into killing himself.]]

* WhatAnIdiot:
** In Episode 4, Howard Stark himself admits he had no good reason to lie about [[spoiler:Steve Rogers' blood]], blaming it on his own pathological tendencies formed from clawing his way to the top.
** In Episode 6, the SSR has returned from a Russian facility that brainwashes little girls with a psychiatrist from said facility. Do they consider that he might be [[TheMole a mole]] and take security measures? No, they give him full run of their headquarters (albeit while supervised).
** In Episode 7, Dooley is warned that [[spoiler:Dr. Ivchenko]] shouldn't be trusted and decides to take that advice. Pretty smart. Not so smart is still staying alone with the guy in his office, raised suspicion or not...
** Also from Episode 7, we have highly trained agent Sousa forgetting that an enemy can see your shadow if you stand in front of a light source. Though to be fair, Dottie did too, only a scene or two before he did.
** Episode 8 has several examples:
*** Sousa again, while investigating the theater's crime scene pointed the hate gas canister directly to his face and got hit with a dose of it.
*** To be fair, neither Sousa or the other agents ''know'' about the hate gas. At this point of the story, no SSR agent in the field knows exactly what item 17 is, or even that it comes in a canister. If the low lighting in the theatre kept Sousa from seeing the 'Stark Industries' logo, he might even have thought it was a WWII style water bottle.
*** Peggy completely squanders getting the drop on [[spoiler:Fennhoff and Dottie]] with a shotgun, telling them to surrender rather than just shooting them before they even know she's there, presumably not to risk blasting the radio they were standing right next to.
*** Whoever made the decision to lock up a Soviet spy with a CompellingVoice with a Nazi MadScientist isn't very intelligent.

* FanNickname: Agent Series/OneTreeHill for Jack Thompson due to it being his most famous role. Agent Creator/ChadMichaelMurray is also commonly used as a nickname for him, since that's the name of his actor. And, in the right corners of fandom, you will occasionally see him called Agent Douchebag, for his general bad attitude during the series.

** "Dr. Ivchenko", in reality [[CompellingVoice Johann Fennhoff]], is a high-ranking Leviathan agent who orchestrated the theft of Howard Stark's inventions. Posing as a [[AffablyEvil kindly]] psychologist prisoner of Leviathan, the "rescued" Fennhoff befriends S.S.R. chief Roger Dooley, [[TreacherousAdvisor giving him advice]] on his collapsing marriage while gradually brainwashing him and making contact with Leviathan operative Dottie Underwood. Often allowing his victims to experience one last pleasure before killing themselves, Fennhoff has Dooley give him access to the recovered Stark weapons and takes the [[HatePlague Midnight Oil]], having Dooley put on a suicide vest as a distraction while he meets up with Underwood. After capturing Stark, Fennhoff reveals that he seeks revenge for the death of his brother, planning to hypnotize Stark into releasing the Midnight Oil on New York so his guilt afterwards will destroy him.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** The "sexism is bad" aesop isn't at all subtle, but it's highlighted both to critique the era and provide Peggy a constant challenge to prove herself against, in contrast to ''The First Avenger'' where the sexism of then was only briefly noted.
** In general, the show does a lot to tackle issues of privilege and discrimination, showcasing and deconstructing the ways women, people of color, and paraplegic individuals have been marginalized and mistreated in our past, while also showing other elements of DoubleStandard issues present in society (even elements that affect white men, as seen when discussing MenAreTheExpendableGender and Miriam Fry's cynical look at male sexuality). As noted in many reviews, the handling of these characters and issues has made the show stand out compared to most works of fiction (compare ''The First Avenger'' and its more idealistic look on history), while also passing UsefulNotes/TheBechdelTest, the Oracle Test, and similar fiction checklists, a rarity for works of this genre.
** Season 2 also drops a good anvil with Ana Jarvis's attitude towards her husband helping Peggy. She does not protest against it and supports them as much as she can, while still being up front about her own worries. The lesson here being that it's perfectly alright to have worries and fears about what your partner is doing - but it doesn't mean you're not supportive, nor does it mean you can't still be supportive. Likewise Ana is perfectly honest with her husband about her worries, but it's still her that sends him on his way to do what must be done.

** "[[DarkActionGirl Dottie Underwood]]" is a [[ComicBook/BlackWidow Red Room]] graduate and [[TheDragon accomplice]] to Fennhoff. Seducing Tony Stark so that he would show her his vault of inventions, Underwood later befriends Peggy Carter as her neighbor. Spying on Carter without detection, Underwood makes contact with Fennhoff and helps him to capture Stark, evading arrest from both Peggy and other S.S.R. agents. Upon finally being captured, Underwood easily resists giving up information and humiliates her interrogators, before being broken out by Peggy to help spy on Whitney Frost. Underwood continues to laugh off torture when captured by Frost's minions, only breaking when Frost uses her Zero Matter powers on her. Psychotic yet flirtatious, especially in her rivalry with Peggy, Underwood ends the series a [[KarmaHoudini free woman]] after escaping both Frost and Peggy's custody.
