From a new, more aggressive Captain America to the fact that there are super-soldiers in the wild committing blatant acts of terrorism, the world of this series is rapidly falling into chaos.</p>.<p>And in the midst of this, of course, is Baron Zemo; the man responsible for the Sokovia Accords massacre.</p>.<p>Taking off right from where Bucky and Sam left at the end of episode 2, following a nasty confrontation with the new Cap, the third episode, titled "Power Broker", but actually lacking the actual Power Broker in question, carries hints of a deeper conspiracy shown through its world-building.</p>.<p>The episode starts off with a masterful prison break orchestrated by Bucky to get Zemo into the fold, and from there goes world-hopping to Madripoor so that our heroes (and villain) can find out who recreated the super-soldier serum, meeting some old friends on the way.</p>.<p>The third episode of this show is once again a solid continuation of the show. There is a lot of standard Marvel action fare, but lying beyond that is that hint of espionage and subterfuge that just completes the package.</p>.<p>The episode also effectively tackles Bucky's hatred of his own past, which is brought out largely through him embracing the identity of the Winter Soldier once again - clearly, he's been working out. It's also nice to see that Baron Zemo has not lost his touch and is a powder keg who our heroes cannot possibly trust, but have no choice but to work with since he does share a hatred of the idea of the super-soldier serum being in the wild.</p>.<p>On the other hand, the episode clears the air a little bit on the Flag Smashers' leader, Karli Morgenthau, who is clearly shown as a sympathetic figure with great regrets, but is going down a path from where there can be no return. Sure, they're fighting supposed corruption from a council that is aimed at helping people who returned at the end of <em>Avengers: Endgame</em>, but it's not entirely clear assault, theft and causing an explosion (possibly killing a lot of people) is a good idea.</p>.<p>Overall, the episode is yet another strong entry in the show, and one with promises of more layers unravelling and fresh confrontations as time goes on.</p>
