Whitney needs to put on a mask at some point if she is going to truly be Madam Masque.

I'm rather disappointed this season how at how few the Captain America references there are. Yea I know she's mostly moved on but I would have loved at least a mention of Steve in the big music number, hell even some of the showgirls from his tours as backup dancers would have been great.

It's funny, in Season One it seemed like they couldn't stop referencing him, but I don't think there's been a mention of him this season at all.

Also, Peggy doesn't want them to kill "innocent people" but is willing to shoot Thompson. Such a stupid trope, used in almost all media. Bleh.

Is she hadn't pulled the gun, he would've killed an innocent in her eyes, whereas Thompson himself a) has a condemning history and disregarding that b) would have lost innocence by activating the gamma gun. Minority report gun pulling going on here.
