After taking a week off from Reviews, let's step back to Episode 4 and see what happened...
You can tell it is Christmas when your friend forces you to hang out with her folks.
Since Hawkeye can't be with his family right now, Kate throws him a nice, intimate celebration at her place.
Bonding and hijinks ensue.
They also take time to set up Hawkeye and Kate getting their new costumes made for the Finale.
Let's also throw in a random LGBTQ+ Character to say that we did too.
Everything changes when a routine job to recover the watch goes awry as the pair are attacked by a mysterious figure.
Who is it? What are they up to?
You just have to watch to find out!
A good Episode that keeps things moving, but also gives the story time to breathe. I've discussed how Prestige Shows have a problem with pacing in the middle- especially when they are arbitrarily 13 Episodes long-, so I'm aware of what to look for.
On one hand, you don't get too many big things until the end (to hook you for Episode 5).
On the other hand, alot of good stuff still happens here.
On the other hand, alot of good stuff still happens here.
So much important set-up/plot-building is done here, so if you skip this one, some things won't make sense. Likewise, the ending section is definitely worth a watch. It makes you really need to see what happens/happened already in real time.
So, in summary, this middle Episode is a must-see for different reasons than Episodes 1-3, so tell your friends...
Next time, the aftermath of a reveal fractures the group. Can they get back together when it counts? See you then...
