Agent Carter Season 2 Episode 8 & 9 TV Review
Episodes: The Edge of Mystery & A Little Song and Dance
The first thing I noticed in this episode was the darker tone it took, we really got to see the fall out from last week and the toll its taken on Jarvis.
Peggy and the group come up with a plant to save Wilkes from Frost, by simply trading what she wants so they can get him back. They follow through but after saving Wilkes it turns out he had already made a deal with Frost so he can enter the Zero Matter and hopefully fix himself once and for all. This causes him to have to turn on Peggy after just being saved from her so he can get what Frost needs but he doesn't go through with it and escapes.
Leading into Episode 9 where things get interesting. We see the Zero Matter in person in a much larger form too. As well as a pretty big explosive ending that makes me interested in seeing how everything will be affected in the couple of episodes. I did think that all the musical numbers with a bit weird and out of place but they were entertaining.
The core stand out was definitely the argument and conflict between Peggy and Jarvis. It follow off of the build up from the last episode of his anger building up in him to get revenge. He even goes as far as to try and kill Frost but failing because she still has Zero Matter inside of her. This lead to them both getting captured and having to escape being separated from the group.
They escape but what happens afterward is interesting because this is where we get to see Jarvis come in to realize his current problems. The argument is solved when Jarvis realizes his weaknesses and decides to continue to work with Peggy. Thompson takes this into his own hands, planing on creating a bomb to eliminated everyone involved with this problem. But before he can do that Wilkes shows up in the same room as Frost and Vernon and seems to have exploded in Zero Matter form before the bomb could go off.
These were too really good episodes and I thought anytime the villains were on screen was the best parts of both episodes and most entertaining.
