About this episode

The episode discusses the aftermath of Fury's death and the unfolding events involving Steve, Maria Hill, and Alexander Pierce.

Minutes 41 through 45 open on the aftermath of Fury's death, and it turns out "aftermath" means very different things depending on who you are. Maria Hill instructs Steve to hand over the body — which, yes, she is absolutely in on the plan, because Maria Hill has always been the one actually running things while Nick stood around looking menacing in a trenchcoat.Steve has to hide the USB drive Fury died to protect, which he does behind a pack of Hubba Bubba in a vending machine. This is a good plan. Hubba Bubba was founded in 1979, their mascot was the Gumfighter, their catchphrase was "Big bubbles, no troubles," and none of this is relevant to the film but we brought it up so here we are.Then we spend most of the remaining minutes in Alexander Pierce's office. Pierce tells Steve about the 101st Airborne Division, his father, a hostage situation in Bogota, and Nick Fury disobeying a direct order to pull off a rescue — this is Palpatine telling Anakin about Darth Plagueis.Links & Notes 101st Airborne Division — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101st_Airborne_Division Hubba Bubba — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubba_Bubba Batroc the Leaper —…
