New Streaming: Hawkeye- Episode 3

 Right in time for Episode Four to diagrammed to death, let's look back at Episode 3.

May my aim be true...

Things aren't looking good for our Heroes.  

They've been captured by some bad guys, including one who's supposed to be important in the MCU down the line (with an already-announced Show for 2022/2023.
We learn all about Maya aka Echo.

She's the product of a long, family line of Criminals.  
She's also Deaf AND is missing one leg.

All you need is a dead Dad to prove that someone (presumably the Writer) is out to get her.
Back in the Present, we see that she wants to kill Ronin because he killed her Dad.
Whoops.

Our Heroes, of course, don't take that lying down and make an escape, giving us the biggest Action Set Piece of the Series so far.
Can the pair solve the mystery behind the missing items from the Auction?

Will it connect to Kate's family?
Will Hawkeye ever get to see his?

To find out, watch the Show.
A big, fun Episode...that also gives you the feels.  On one hand, you get the big Action Scene with our Heroes making their escape.  On the other hand, we get a sweet Scene where Kate helps compensate for Hawkeye's partial-deafness as he talks to his young Son on the phone.  It's great.

This third Episode gives you lots of build-up, which is definitely needed for a Show of this type.  We build up more Drama for the mystery behind the deal.  We get Echo's introduction.  We get to see the expanded look at the Track Suit Mafia.  We get to learn more about Kate and her family.

Is this going to stand up to the craziness of stuff like What If...? or Loki?  No.

It will, however, rile up the Internet with fan theories just like the latter did...

Next time, see the Plot unfold and the big events take place.  What big connection to the MCU will we get next?  See you then...
