”You can never be fully prepared for me.”

This is our review of the first of the two Agent Carter episodes that aired on February 16th. Click here for our review of the second episode.

Warning: Full spoilers for the episode below.

After last week’s slower installment, Agent Carter offered two great episodes this week – the first of which offered an incredibly entertaining return for Dottie.

Bridget Regan is amazingly fun in this role and looks to be having a blast – reflecting the same delight Dottie seems to have by being in Peggy’s presence. From the scene where Peggy went to see the imprisoned Dottie to Jarvis & Dottie’s unlikely partnership to the thrill of Dottie & Whitney coming face to face, bringing the Black Widow back into this show was a great way to pick up the pace as we head into the second half of the 10-episode season.

Oh, and that black and red dress Dottie was wearing, with the big Black Widow influence? Killer.

I also liked that Peggy turning to Dottie was motivated by her injury, simply because a pet peeve of mine in TV shows is when someone bounces back from a big injury that just occurred in the previous episode – so it was good to see that no, Peggy can’t just go back to fighting right after having a rebar sticking straight through her.
