While gathering Carter her stuff to put it back in her bag, Underwood steals Carter her room key.[131]
On her way to work, Carter buys today's newspaper at Pete's stand. At the stand she is met by Edwin Jarvis who wants to have a moment of her time. While she does have a talk with him, she does not want anything to do with him or Howard Stark anymore.[131]
At the New York Bell Company Office, Daniel Sousa tells Carter that the Remote Typewriter turned it self on and received an encoded message. To help them crack the code, Arlington Hall sends them a cryptographer. Much to the displeasure of Roger Dooley and Jack Thompson the cryptographer is unable to break the code. Carter immediately recognizes the code and breaks it. The code gives them the coordinates, time and the amount to pay for an item exchange between Howard Stark and Leviathan in Belarus.[131][129]
When Carter tells Dooley and Thompson that she wants to join Thompson, Rick Ramirez and Mike Li on their mission to Russia, they are first against it. She tells them that she can deliver the 107th. Dooley tells her that she is allowed to join the mission if that happens. When she returns from a phone call and tells them the 107th will meet them at the Russian border, Dooley allows her to join the mission. Dooley tells them both to gear up and roll out in an hour. Thompson tricks Daniel Sousa, who just brought him the field report, into entering the woman's dressing room. Before leaving, Sousa spots the two scars on Carters' back.[131]
While sitting at a campfire, Carter and the Howling commando's make fun of Juniper, who supposedly saw a Yeti in Tibet. Carter then pushes Thompson into telling the reason he received a Navy Cross: while serving in Japan he saved his CEO and his camp from a Japanese attack.[131]
At a bar in New York, Roger Dooley has a conversation with an old friend about the Battle of Finow: Howard Stark visited the location in the aftermath of the battle and punched general John McGinnis. A week later McGinnis resigned from the army and another week later Stark cut his ties with the army.[131][129]
At the Red Room Academy, the team decide to split into two groups of four. Carter's group enters a schoolroom focused on the United States. Agent Mike Li accidentally starts an American cartoon with a hidden message behind it. Li then hears a little girl crying.[131]
They encounter the child sitting against one of the beds in a sleeping hall. While Dugan talks to her, she manages to get him distracted and stabs him with her knife. She then takes his gun and shoots Junior Juniper, killing him. Carter then stops Dugan, from throwing a hand grenade into the shaft the girl used to escape, before deciding they have to leave. While Dugan, Rick Ramirez and Pinky Pinkerton search for a way out, Carter and the others enter a corridor. This corridor is guarded by a few Russian soldiers. They kill the soldiers and find a cell containing doctor Ivchenko and Nikola. Ivchenko tells Carter that they were imprisoned to build a weapon from a blueprint stolen from Stark. They free the prisoners and in the ensuing firefight with Leviathan operatives, Mike Li is killed by the little girl.[131]
Nikola, hoping for his freedom, offers to trade the three Americans if he and Ivchenko are free to leave. Tearfully, Ivchenko kills Nikola. Meanwhile, Thompson freezes and is too scared to help in the shootout. A minute later, Dugan blows a hole in the wall, allowing everyone to escape. Carter pushes Thompson to man up and leave the building. They then escape with Ivchenko by using one of the trucks.[131][129]
In New York, Dooley waits for Edwin Jarvis at his car. When Jarvis arrives, Dooley asks him about the fist fight Stark had with McGinnis. When Jarvis says he does not know anything about this, Dooley tells him that he just wants to know the truth and gives Jarvis a card with his number.[131]
At the Griffith Hotel, Dottie Underwood uses the key she stole from Carter to enter her bedroom. Here, she steals one of the photos taken in the Strategic Scientific Reserve's lab and the Sweet Dreams Lipstick. Before leaving the room, she places the string of rope back on the door lock, something that Carter uses as a check if someone entered her room.[131]
As Carter bids farewell to the Howling Commandos, Carter asks Ivchenko if he wants to go with them to the United States, claiming that they could use his help to fight Leviathan. Ivchenko, claiming he has nowhere else to go, agrees.[131]
On the plane ride home, Carter and Thompson have a conversation about how Thompson froze during the fight. Thompson decides to tell Carter the truth about how he became a war hero. The Japanese he killed entering his camp, carried white flags and were attempting to surrender, he just noticed too late and buried the white flags before anyone would notice.[131]
Thompson tells her that he has been trying to tell the truth since he came home from the war and that it becomes harder and harder to live with everyone thinking he is a guy he is not. She decides that his secret is safe.[131]
Before going to sleep, Underwood cuffs her self to the bed.[131]
Dooley, who just got debriefed about the mission, meets Ivchenko. Thompson invites Carter, who was talking with Daniel Sousa to join them at the bar, telling her he owes her a bourbon. Sousa, now distrustful of Carter, looks at the photo from La Martinique while Carter walks away.[131][129]
Jarvis arrives at the Automat and Carter explains the situation to him, asking for a list of all the women Stark has entertained in the last six months.[91]
Daniel Sousa visits the prison to learn more about the woman that attacked Sheldon McFee. In exchange for the identification of a woman on the picture, Sousa would shorten McFee's time in prison. Sousa then shows him a photo of Carter, who identifies her as the woman that attacked him.[91]
To get the list of the women that Stark dated in the last six months, Carter and Jarvis visit Albert, a jeweler that makes bracelets for every woman Stark dates Upon seeing the list, Carter starts crossing names of the list, explaining to Jarvis that these people are well known and established people in New York City and could not be Russian spies.[91]
Carter and Jarvis start visiting the women left on the list, trying to see if they got scars on the wrist from being cuffed to the bed. The first three women on the list do not have the scars. Next on the list is Ida Emke.[91]
As Ivchenko and Dooley take a break from work to have a drink, Underwood prepares a sniper gun to watch the office up close. While seemingly looking outside to see more of the City, Ivchenko communicates to Underwood in code, by tapping with his fingers.[91]
Ivchenko tells Underwood that he needs more time and orders her to kill Carter.[91]
When there is no one at home in the apartment of Emke, Carter enters the room to find information. Here she notices scratches on the bedpost from handcuffs. Carter tells Jarvis to track down the owners of the building while she talks to neighbors to gain more information about Emke. Afterwords, they would meet at the Automat.[91]
Still on their break, Dooley and Ivchenko talk about Dooleys family problems. Ivchenko uses this time to try and hypnotize Dooley. They are disturbed when Sousa enters the office to give Dooley the information he required about Carter being a traitor. Dooley sends agents from Washington, D.C. to the Automat to arrest Carter.[91]
At the Automat, Carter and Jarvis share the information they gained. Carter then notices that everyone besides a few agents from D.C. leave the Automat, which is part of procedure 791: Isolate the suspects, remove the civilians before arrest.[91]
Carter then tells Jarvis to block the front door while she takes care of the rest. Carter takes out the three agents inside the Automat, then leaves with Jarvis via the backdoor. There they are stopped by Thompson, who keeps Carter at gunpoint. Carter then knocks him down. Jarvis and Carter split up and agree to meet at the Dublin house. Before leaving the street to visit the Griffith Hotel she is again stopped at gunpoint. This time by Daniel Sousa. She apologizes to him before running away.[91]
Back at the office, Dooley is displeased to hear that Carter managed to escape the men. Dooley threatens that they will become grade school hall monitors if they fail to apprehend Carter. Dooley then orders Yauch to babysit Ivchenko, while he deals with the Carter debacle. Ivchenko hypnotizes Yauch, while talking to him and has him tell everything he knows about the Howard Stark investigation, his inventions and how to escape the building. Ivchenko, then instructs Yauch to commit suicide.[91]
Chase of Peggy Carter: Thompson, Sousa and a group of agents travel to the Griffith Hotel. They enter the building shortly after Carter. They receive the room number from Miriam Fry and the agents move upstairs to Carter's room, where at the same moment Carter is retrieving the Blitzkrieg Button out of its hiding place. The agents enter Carter's room and start searching for her, but Carter had left the room just in time via the window and hides on the ledge. The agents then visit Angie Martinelli's room, who had just noticed Carter standing on the ledge. The agents start questioning Martinelli on her friendship with Carter. Martinelli uses her acting skills and lies to help Carter. Not being able to handle a crying woman, the agents quickly leave her room to talk to other neighbors. Martinelli then allows Carter into her room. To help Carter escape, Martinelli calls her brother, who promises to pick her up. They then say goodbye to each other, and Carter leaves the room. On her way-out Carter runs into Underwood, who kisses Carter unexpectedly. Because Underwood wears Carter's Sweet Dreams Lipstick she is knocked out unconscious. While falling down, Carter notices the handcuff scars on Underwood's wrists. Before being able to kill Carter with a knife, Thompson and Sousa approach Underwood. Underwood tells them that she found Carter laying on the floor this way. The agents handcuff Carter and take her with them to their car. While walking through the Griffith Hotel the other residents follow them outside, watching them while Carter is placed in the back of the police car.[91]
From the back of the car, Carter looks at Underwood, standing between the residents.[91]
When Fry wants all the resident's downstairs, Martinelli knocks on Underwoods door to get her. When she enters the room, she notices it being empty. [91]
In the interrogation room, where she is handcuffed to the table, Dooley tells his men not to go easy on her just because she is a girl.[91] Carter is interrogated by three different men in three different styles: Daniel Sousa, who uses friendship; Chief Dooley, who uses fatherly disappointment; and Jack Thompson, who cites betrayal from Howard Stark.[76]
Ivchenko watches with amazement as Carter calculates each man's speech with an appropriate response. When Thompson questions why he is watching the interviews, Ivchenko chooses to leave to avoid further confrontation.[76]
Edwin Jarvis tries to help Carter with a false confession he forged with Howard Stark's name. But Dooley wants Stark in exchange for Carter and keeps them both in the office.
Underwood translates Morse code
Ivchenko communicates with Dottie Underwood, who is stationed across the street in the dentistry office of Seth Honicky. In Morse Code, he tells her to get ready for evacuation, however Carter and Jarvis catch him signaling. Dooley tells Ivchenko to close the window, as he does, he sees Thompson and Sousa leading agents across the street. He knows he has to escalate his plans.[76]
Ivchenko takes control of Dooley and has him clear the lab of Alex Doobin. They find Item 17; as an extra bonus, Ivchenko finds a Stark Heat Vest, about which he had heard stories. Dooley allows Ivchenko to leave the New York Bell Company uncontested.[76]
Escape from SSR Custody: The agents find Dottie Underwood across the street. She fights her way pass them and picks up Ivchenko with a car. She tells him that they have been discovered; Ivchenko is calm, telling his accomplice that the SSR will be too busy to pursue them. He tells her that Item 17 needs to be tested.[76]
Dooley awakens from the dream that Ivchenko gave him; he is strapped in the Stark Heat Vest with no way of escaping. Fearing the lives of his colleagues, Roger Dooley jumps from a window as the vest explodes. The pain that Ivchenko has caused the SSR, makes him now their number one priority.[76]
Massacre at the Cinema Theater: Underwood takes the Midnight Oil to a movie theater in a baby carriage that she had earlier purchased and releases its contents. The released gas makes the patrons kill one another.[76]
A movie usherette escorts two guests to the movie. At the doors she notices that the doors have been locked down. When she opens the doors she finds the results of the massacre, which causes her to scream.[76]
Sousa discovers the canister of the gas that caused forty-seven people to kill each other and accidentally inhales it. He attacks Thompson and slaps Carter before being knocked unconscious. When he awakens, Sousa does not have a clear memory of what he has done; Carter explains to him what happened.[90][134]

However, Stark is kidnapped by Dottie Underwood and Fennhoff, who take Stark to his own hangar.[90][134]
Once he is imprisoned, Johann Fennhoff discovers that he has Arnim Zola as a cellmate. Since Fennhoff is muzzled, Zola has him write down how his mind-control power works.[90][134]
Daniel Sousa, chief of the SSR's new West Coast Office, asks Thompson to send an agent as backup due to a recent incident involving a mysterious murderer. Thompson decides to send Carter over to Los Angeles, and takes over Underwood's interrogation.[114][145]
Carter arrives in LA, where she meets with Edwin Jarvis. He explains that Howard Stark moved to the West Coast after he acquired a defense contract, and since he liked Los Angeles, he opened up a new estate on the West Coast. Jarvis also tells her how Stark is currently in the process of creating his own motion picture studios. At Stark's new house, Carter finally meets Ana Jarvis.[114][145]
The case that Carter investigates involves Jane Scott, a scientist employed by Isodyne Energy, found frozen solid in Echo Park. The SSR was asked to learn why both the woman and lake are frozen, in the midst of a heat wave. Carter reports to Sousa and they both receive the help of the Detective Henry, who is suffering from a summer cold.[114]
The three go to Isodyne Energy Headquarters, where Carter sneaks past the Receptionist and meets Jason Wilkes, a scientist who works there. Wilkes agrees to help in the investigation, since he has an interest in Carter. Wilkes informs Carter that he heard that his boss Calvin Chadwick was involved in a relationship with Scott.[114]
Carter and Jarvis meet with Chadwick and his wife Whitney Frost in the horse racetrack, but Chadwick refuses to cooperate.[114]
The agents, Wilkes, and Henry return to Medical Examiner Meltzer to see what progress he has had on the autopsy, only to find him frozen to death.[114]
Meanwhile, in New York City, Agent Vernon Masters takes Underwood into FBI custody and tells Thompson, who unsuccessfully tried to interrogate Underwood, that he wants Thompson to look elsewhere for work, since the last days of the SSR are coming.[114]
Sousa and Carter find the autopsy report of Meltzer, which states that the woman was stabbed, and her shoes switched after she was frozen, a detail that only the killer and the police knew.[114]
Kidnapping of Jason Wilkes: Andrew Henry grows sicker and accidentally freezes water from a fountain. When Wilkes notices Henry, Henry abducts him in order to force him to make him a cure. Sousa and Carter chase the rogue cop, who was hired to dispose of Scott's body, and used the cold case of the Lady of the Lake killer to cover his crime. Henry is killed by another officer despite Sousa and Carter specifically stating that no guns are to be used, as the SSR wanted him alive for questioning.[114]
Sousa orders the body to be transferred in the morning to the Auerbach Theatrical Agency for further investigation as to what was ailing Henry. Wilkes asks Carter out on a date, but she declines.[114]
As Sousa meets with his girlfriend, Jarvis takes Carter back to their home.[114]
The officer who killed Henry is paid by Chadwick and Frost.[114][145]
The Council of Nine has a meeting at the Arena Club, where they decide to no longer support Calvin Chadwick's efforts to study Zero Matter, in order to only focus on his senatorial campaign. Chadwick reluctantly agrees.[146]
Chadwick tells his wife Whitney Frost about the decision. She is livid and decides to obtain the substance for herself.[146]
Carter meets with Wilkes, who turns the meeting into a date, because he wants to be sure he can trust her before putting his life in her hands with the information he plans to reveal. The two dance and talk about Carter's past and Wilkes' upbringing, before he shows her a film he stole, documenting the origin of the Zero Matter that Isodyne Energy has. They decide to steal it to take it to the Strategic Scientific Reserve for study.[146]
Frost, with a few men, decides to take the Zero Matter from the Isodyne Energy Laboratories.[146]
Hunt and his team attack Carter and Wilkes, but they manage to escape. Carter sends a distress beacon to Jarvis. Jarvis alerts Sousa, forcing him to cancel his date to investigate.[146]
The couple successfully infiltrate Isodyne Energy Headquarters. As Carter fights Hunt and his men, Wilkes puts the Zero Matter in a containment vessel, but he is interrupted by Frost, who at a gunpoint orders Wilkes to relinquish the substance. The two fight and the container falls and shatters. This triggers an implosion, which swallows both Wilkes and Frost. Due to the nature of the implosion, Wilkes is presumed dead.[146]
Frost runs away from the scene and goes to her home.[146][145]

They want to discover what possible connection Wilkes had to the men who tried to kill him and Carter the night before. The three find the evidence that Wilkes is a Communist spy, including the gun used to kill agents White and Beringer, but Carter does not believe the evidence, because it was too easy to find.[147]
Carter and Edwin Jarvis go to the set where Stark Pictures is filming a motion picture based on the Kid Colt, Outlaw comic to show Howard Stark the film that Wilkes gave her, with the origin of Zero Matter. Due to a symbol of the Arena Club on Wilkes' file they discuss the possibility of the club being involved in recent events.[147]
Carter finds Jack Thompson in Sousa's office when she comes to the Auerbach Theatrical Agency; he wants her to sign a forged report saying that Wilkes was a Russian spy and conclude the investigation. Carter refuses, so Thompson does it himself. He tells Carter that she is to accompany him back to New York City.[147]
Stark, Jarvis, and Carter make a plan to sneak Carter into the men-only Arena Club to plant eavesdropping devices.[147]
There she finds two Los Angeles Tribune newspapers with July 16, 1947 as the date, which is set within the nearby future.[147][145]
Both newspapers report that Representative Anderson has resigned from his Senate bid, with one saying that he was in a sexual scandal. Carter is not able to procure the papers lest she be found by Rufus Hunt. Fortunately, Jarvis helps Carter to leave the club before she is caught.[147][145]

Daniel Sousa tells Peggy Carter the information that he had about Agnes Cully. When Carter asks how Cully factors into their case, Sousa reveals that Cully is none other than actress Whitney Frost, with Frost being only her stage name.[147]
Jack Thompson goes to the Arena Club to see his friend Vernon Masters before he returns to New York City. Masters introduces Thompson to Calvin Chadwick, while reading in the newspaper that Representative Anderson has decided to resign from the election bid. Thompson sees the newspaper and realizes that Carter was not lying to him.[147]
Kenneth Z., Frost's director, tries to seduce Frost, but is repulsed by the scar on her face. Suddenly, Frost accidentally turns him into Zero Matter and absorbs him. The scar on her forehead grows larger.[147][145]
When Sousa discovers what Carter and Jarvis have done he reprimands Carter. However, the two take Hunt to the Auerbach Theatrical Agency and interrogate him there. They learn that Hunt works for the Council of Nine: powerful men who have ties to major events and prominent people.[14]
Sousa and Carter prepare a group of agents to raid the Arena Club, but Vernon Masters enters the SSR base with a team of FBI agents, telling them that their case files will be audited and they have an executive order to halt all actions.[14]
Masters and Carter withdraw to talk; Masters wants to know who the informant was on their search warrant. Carter refuses to answer, so Masters threatens Carter, explaining that although she might survive the changes are, her allies might not.[14]
Due to Masters' involvement, Carter and Sousa put a listening device on Hunt and allow him to escape their custody. Hunt runs to the Chadwick Residence to tell Chadwick and Frost about his kidnapping and interrogation. Hunt wants Chadwick to protect him from the wrath of the Council, or he will tell the Council that the two are performing outside its guidance. Chadwick acquiesces, but Frost uses her newly mastered powers to kill Hunt. The group hear how Hunt was killed and wonder what Whitney Frost is becoming. When Chadwick asks Frost what she is, she tells him that she is whatever she wants to be.[14]
Wilkes talks to Carter and Jarvis
Peggy Carter is awakened by Jason Wilkes, who shows her that Zero Matter is attracted to him. Wilkes proves with an experiment that the substance can make him tangible. Wilkes reveals that when he used the tissue sample of Jane Scott with the Zero Matter in it, he somehow felt where her body was. Wilkes shows Carter and Edwin Jarvis, by using a map of Thomas Gloucester's County Cold Storage Building, where Scott's body is being kept.[148]
Sousa proposes marriage to Violet in her home. She accepts.[145][148]
19th[]
In order to help Wilkes by using Scott's corpse, Carter and Edwin Jarvis go to where the body of Jane Scott is held to take it to Wilkes. However, they discover that Whitney Frost and Calvin Chadwick are already there with the same intentions. As Frost absorbs the Zero Matter from the corpse, she tells her husband that she needs an Atomic Bomb to recreate the rift that created the initial anomaly.[148][145]
Carter and Jarvis inform Wilkes of what happened, and he tells them that Frost must be stopped. Jarvis reveals that Howard Stark conducted intelligence on his rival, Hugh Jones of the Roxxon Corporation. From these intelligence reports he knows that one warehouse had excessively security and suspects that's where the atomic bombs are located.[148]
Carter arrives at the SSR Headquarters and congratulates Sousa, but she is more concerned with how to infiltrate the Roxxon Warehouse to disarm any atomic bombs Frost might procure.[148]
To proceed with the infiltration, Carter searches Hugh Jones' office for the key to his building; however, Jones discovers her, so Carter uses the Memory Inhibitor that the Lab technician Aloysius Samberly gave her to stun Jones and remove his recent memory of seeing her. Carter finds the access key and manages to escape.[148]
Together with Rose Roberts, Samberly, Jarvis, Sousa and Carter infiltrate the Roxxon Warehouse. Suddenly, both parties encounter each other and a battle ensues. Jarvis manages to disarm the bombs as Carter fights Frost.[148]

Sousa and Jarvis take Carter to Violet's house for medical attention, since they cannot trust a hospital due to the influence and connection the Council of Nine may have. Violet helps Carter, but realizes that Sousa is in love with Carter.[148]
On their way home, after Frost falls asleep, Chadwick decides to stand up for himself against Frost and calls an emergency meeting of the Council to explain the situation to them.[148]
Talking to Carter while she rests from her wound, Wilkes suddenly begins to fade away.[148] Wilkes is beginning to disappear from the human world and fades into another dimension, as a nearby rift beckons him to enter. Wilkes desires to enter, but when he hears Peggy Carter calling his name, he is brought back to the human world. He explains the occurrence to Carter and Jarvis, and they decide to make a containment device for him to stay tangible. Wilkes discovers that he needs mass to be contained.[149][145]
Carter, in incredible pain, meets with Daniel Sousa to explain her plan to get a sample of Whitney Frost's Zero Matter-contaminated blood, to infuse into Wilkes so that he can be tangible, but Sousa has her realize that she is in no condition for such an assault.[149][145]
Carter places a tracker on Underwood and microphones on both, as she and Sousa monitor from a vehicle outside. Though initially surprised by the presence of Jack Thompson at the party, Underwood successfully gets the blood sample; however, instead of exiting, she takes a detour, removes her microphone and hides in a closet to secretly witness a Council of Nine meeting.[149]
Unbeknownst to Frost, the Council was called to an emergency meeting by Chadwick to kill her, not to help her. After Frost demonstrates her powers to the Council on a rat, the Council reveals that their plan was to have Frost captured, but she kills her captors and breaks free of her bonds. She then kills half the Council, including Thomas Gloucester and her husband. Frost takes command of the remaining members, telling Mortimer Hayes to create a cover story for the deaths, and Hugh Jones to give her access to all Roxxon Corporation facilities.[149]
Kidnapping of Dottie Underwood: Underwood runs away and tries to escape but is stopped by Vernon Masters. She engages in a fight with the two men accompanying him. Before Underwood can escape, she is knocked out by Thompson.[149]
During her fight, Underwood dropped the syringe, but it is recovered by Jarvis before he is ushered out of the MacArthur Grand Hotel. While Sousa, Carter, and Jarvis wonder where Underwood is, Underwood is placed in the trunk of a car, with Frost's approval.[149]
In the morning, Carter is visited by Thompson, who confronts her about the recent events and tries to convince her to leave to New York City with him. However, Carter refuses.[149][145]
At the Chadwick Ranch, Whitney Frost, who has Joseph Manfredi as her new escort and his Manfredi Crime Family men as her bodyguards, uses her powers over the Zero Matter in a non-lethal manner to get Underwood to talk. Underwood reveals that Jason Wilkes is alive and that he is in a non-tangible state. Frost then reactivates the tracker in Underwood's necklace so Peggy Carter can find her reluctant ally.[144]
Frost sends Masters to see Daniel Sousa, to get him to relinquish the uranium rods, because she needs those exact ones to recreate the incident which caused the Zero Matter to appear.[144]
Ana Jarvis begins to realize that Carter and her husband do dangerous work on their adventurous missions.[144]
Carter and Edwin Jarvis discover that Underwood's tracker has been activated and go to retrieve her.[144]
Sousa is uncooperative with Masters' plan, causing Masters to threaten Sousa before leaving his office.[144]
Jarvis and Carter incapacitate Frost's men
When Carter and Jarvis arrive where Underwood is being held, they manage to employ the Jitterbug device, that incapacitates their enemies by knocking them out. They rescue Underwood successfully, but Carter notices that Frost is not among those knocked out. Underwood reveals that she was a distraction, and that Frost is truly after Wilkes at Howard Stark's Estate.[144]
Ambush at Howard Stark's Estate: Ana Jarvis, drunk after her dinner with Wilkes, deactivates the estate's alarm, allowing Frost to enter the place without any problems. Frost encounters Wilkes and he accidentally absorbs enough Zero Matter from her to have a lasting tangibility. Frost knocks Wilkes out and Joseph Manfredi carries the unconscious Wilkes to the car. Ana tries to stop the pair. Frost sees Carter's car approaching, so she shoots Ana in the abdomen as a distraction for her escape.[144]
Attack on Daniel Sousa: Meanwhile, due to his decision to not help Masters, Sousa is attacked by two masked thugs.[144]

Edwin Jarvis sits in the hospital, worried about the fate of his beloved Ana.[144]
Jason Wilkes awakens only to find Whitney Frost observing him and experimenting with how long he can stay tangible after he absorbs Zero Matter from her. Wilkes decides to work with Frost for more understanding of the substance.[151]
An emergency surgery is made on Ana Jarvis in order to save her life.[151]
Thompson pretends to be drunk with an old college friend who gives him a redacted file with information on Carter.[151]
Sousa and Carter go to see Joseph Manfredi to learn why he is assisting Frost and propose to trade Wilkes in exchange for the uranium rods, desired by Frost. After concurring with Frost, they make arrangement for the trade.[151]
Ana Jarvis survives the operation and wakes, but she can no longer have children due to the gunshot.[151]
Using a fax machine, Howard Stark sends them specification on how to build a Gamma Cannon: a device that can pull apart the Zero Matter from Frost or Wilkes.[151]
Thompson arrives at Howard Stark's Estate to show Carter that he has privileged information on her. However, Carter says that those are probably lies.[151]
Rescue of Jason Wilkes: Carter, Jarvis, and Sousa make the exchange, but one of Manfredi's men drops the rods, causing Frost to realize that she has been tricked.[151][145]
There, Vernon Masters retrieves the rods. Thompson discovers that Masters reports to Frost, so Masters uses the Memory Inhibitor on Thompson.[151][145]
Now working with Thompson, the group of Carter, Jarvis, Sousa and Samberly follow Manfredi and Frost's men into the desert where Frost manages to create an atomic explosion to recreate the incident that created the Zero Matter in the first place.[151][145]
The Rift
The experiment opens a rift in the sky; Frost stands near the rift, but it absorbs only Wilkes. Carter's team fires the Gamma Cannon at the rift, but Jarvis goes solo to confront Frost and shoots her in revenge, hoping to kill her.[151]
Wilkes lays silent on the desert ground as the rift collapses.[151]
However, Frost heals quickly and tells Manfredi not to kill her enemies, since Wilkes might be more cooperative if they are alive.[151]
Carter and Jarvis are forced to enter one of Manfredi's trucks.[152]
Thompson devises a plan that saves their lives by playing on his authority and the fact that Masters does not know that Thompson knows the truth. The five men all pack into the car.[152]
Using the Hot Wire device, Carter and Jarvis manage to escape from their captors, to Frost's anger. Carter and Jarvis capture a truck from Manfredi's men and use it to return to Los Angeles.[152]
Thompson pretends to betray Sousa and Samberly, as to gain Masters' trust again. He talks Masters into using the Gamma Cannon against Frost; Masters agrees.[152]
Wilkes agonizes as he tries to hold the Zero Matter within himself, but Frost straps him down to extract the substance.[152]
Carter enters the Auerbach Theatrical Agency and begins beating Masters until she is stopped by Thompson and Sousa; she learns that Masters has sided with them for his own purposes against Frost.[152]
Secretly, Thompson had Samberly turn the Gamma Cannon into a bomb to kill Frost. When Sousa and Carter learn of the duplicity of Thompson's plan, they try to stop his suicidal effort.[152]
Peggy Carter goes to free Wilkes before Thompson can activate the bomb. Wilkes tells her that he is unstable and that she should not have freed him. Frost discovers the trap and manages to trap Masters, but Thompson arrives, so she decides to have Thompson kill Masters for her; however he convinces her to do it herself.[152]
Thompson exits to set his bomb, but it is deactivated just in time by Samberly. Thompson resets the bomb just when Wilkes, convinced by Carter to do the right thing, confronts Frost. Jason Wilkes expels the Zero Matter within him in a violent explosion that is felt by Peggy Carter, Daniel Sousa, Aloysius Samberly, and Jack Thompson.[152]
The group finds Wilkes alive, but discovers Whitney Frost absorbing the black substance into herself. Everyone flees as her power increases. As Frost pursues, she gets hit by a car driven by Edwin Jarvis and Howard Stark. Everyone gets inside Stark and Samberly's cars as Frost stands and frowns.[145][95]
25th[]
At Stark's Estate, Stark confirms that the Zero Matter has definitely left Wilkes' body.[95][145]
Frost begins to formulate ways to make a permanent opening for the Zero Matter to infect the Earth. Frost's distant attitude angers Joseph Manfredi, who feels that she is not the woman with whom he fell in love; so he decides to ask for Carter's help.[95]
Manfredi visits Carter and the others at Stark's Estate and revealing himself to be a friend of Stark. Manfredi reveals Frost's plan and agrees to help them infiltrate Frost's room so they can take pictures of her formulas. Using Frost's formulas, the team create a new Gamma Cannon that will be capable of closing Zero Matter's rift once Frost has been separated from it.[152]
Thompson looks through Masters' belongings and discovers that the pin from the Arena Club is actually a key.[95][145]
Destruction of the Zero Matter Rift: The team opens a rift at Stark Pictures, which is felt by Frost, who quickly arrives at the studio. Stark fires the Gamma Cannon at Frost and she loses all of her Zero Matter back to the other dimension; she is then arrested. The rift starts to absorb Sousa as well, but Jarvis saves him by throwing the Gamma Cannon into the rift and detonating it inside, closing the rift permanently.[95][145]
Attack on Jack Thompson: Meanwhile, Thompson is packing his bags to return to New York City when he learns that Carter plans to stay in Los Angeles for a while longer. When he answers a knock on his hotel door, he is shot. The shooter steals the redacted file on Carter and leaves.[95][145]
Jawaharlal Nehru gives in an interview in which he states, "Our first and immediate objective must be put an end to all internal strife and violence which disfigure and degrade us, and injure the cause of freedom."[59][153]
Aisha rubs her daughter Sana's head as Sana plays with her bangle while Hasan listens to the radio report on Nehru's statement. Aisha tells her daughter she loves her while Hasan gets upset at Nehru's words. Aisha assures her husband that they will get through it, when there is a knock on the door.[59][1]
Aisha answers the door and thanks Rohan for the food he brought for Aisha and Hasan. Hasan tells Aisha not to accept it, upsetting Rohan, who claims that Hasan is doing what the British want. Hasan gets frustrated about the bigotry he has faced for being Muslim. Aisha apologizes for Hasan, and Rohan says it is not an issue before leaving. Aisha sees Najma in the field and closes the door.[59][1]
Aisha goes into the field and meets with Najma, happily greeting her. Najma says that Aisha was hiding and hugs her old friend. Aisha says that she thought they were dead, and Najma tells her that it is time to put their plan into action. Aisha hesitates, prompting Najma to ask if she wants to go home. Aisha says that she hid the bangle and retrieving it will take down. Najma gives Aisha until sundown the next day, intending to go home all together.[59][1]
The Partition of India is enacted by the British Empire, dividing British India into India and Pakistan. The Partition of Bengal splits the Indian province of Bengal into East Bengal, which joins into the newly formed Pakistan, and West Bengal, which remains in India.[6] A television station reports on the news, giving a brief history of India's struggle for independence.[59][1]
An article is published by the International Daily Express about the Partition and the instability it causes, titling it "RIOTS RAGE IN INDIA."[59]
As the riots spread, Aisha works to pack so they can flee to Pakistan. Hasan is hesitant to leave, but Aisha says that Muslims are not safe in the country. She tells Hasan that they can take their memories and build a home anywhere. Aisha turns to Sana, agreeing with her that new adventures are scary. She gives Sana her bangle, telling her that it will keep her safe.[59][1]
Hasan, Aisha, and Sana walk to the train station. Hasan asks Aisha to slow down, but Aisha says they need to hurry for the last train. Hasan demands to know the truth about who she spoke to the previous night. Aisha confesses to having magical abilities, showing him the abilities within the bangle. She asks why he never asked for answers before, and Hasan says that he did not care since she chose her family. Aisha says that she is still making that choice and to make sure Sana gets on the train. Hasan assures Aisha that nothing will happen and kisses her.[59][1]
People push passed each other as Hasan and Aisha carry Sana. Aisha realizes that the Clandestines are around and asks Hasan to protect Aisha as she leaves to confront them. Sana starts crying as Hasan guides her through the crowd.[59][1]
Aisha confronts Najma, who scolds her for turning her back on her family.[59][1]
Hasan comforts Sana, saying that Aisha will be with them.[59][1]
People struggle to board a train. Hasan boards the train, but cannot find Sana.[59][1]
Sana calls for her mother, who wanders through the crowd while Hasan calls for her.[59][1]
While Aisha dies, Sana cries and calls for her parents. Aisha reaches for a family picture as Hasan asks a man for help. Aisha calls out to the bangle, which lights up in Sana's hands. A rift is torn open.[59][1]
Kamala Khan appears, having been transported there by the bangle from 78 years in the future. She sees a train in front of her and looks around, confused. She gets onto a platform and watches as a family separates, hugging. She walks through the station, realizing that she is in Karachi. She sees a young girl ask her mother if there will be room, and the mother replies that they will have to try since it is the last train. Khan climbs on top of a train looks at the bustling station as people rush to get on trains.[139][1]
Khan pushes her way through the crowd, holding back tears as she comes across Aisha and asks what happened. Aisha believes Khan to be Sana, but Khan says that she is not. Aisha tells Khan to get Sana onto the train and gives her the family picture, telling Khan that she has everything she needs. Khan says that she is supposed to save Sana, but Aisha says that she is okay, since Khan is there, and dies.[59][1]
Khan looks at the picture and starts moving through the crowd. She finds Sana calling for her mother and hugs her. She starts carrying Sana through the crowd, struggling to make it through. Khan hears Hasan calling for Sana, and realizes that she cannot create the trail of stars, but she can create circles. She creates a platform out of Noor for Sana to jump on, and creates a trail. Khan is pushed over, causing the trail to appear as stars leading the way to Hasan. Hasan recognizes Aisha's abilities, and believes her to be responsible.[59][1]
Hasan hugs Sana and asks where she was. Khan watches and realizes that she was the subject of the stories she heard growing up. Hasan and Sana board the train as it leaves for Pakistan. Khan's bangle activates as she is returned to 2025.[59][1]
A video showing the Iron Fist protecting the entrance of K'un-Lun in 1948
An unidentified Iron Fist is captured on film by the Chinese Government. The Iron Fist was defending a secret passage into K'un-Lun, from a group of soldiers that had become lost in the jungle, while filming propaganda.[158]
Steven Demetre Georgiou, later called Yusuf Islam, and later known by his stage name Cat Stevens is born.[71][9]
23rd[]
Daniel Sousa and Peggy Carter end their relationship.[102][165] Sousa is saddened, feeling he ultimately could not stick around long enough to make it last.[166]
Arnim Zola and some former HYDRA agents track down Bucky Barnes, who survived the drop and was taken into custody by Soviet Armed Forces. Since that moment, they had kept Barnes frozen and alive, but missing an arm. Once he was found by Zola and his agents, they take him into their custody.[173][44]
↑ 19.019.119.219.3In The Wakanda Files: A Technological Exploration of the Avengers and Beyond, Arnim Zola talks about Schmidt's descent into madness. Given that Schmidt's madness leads to him taking the imperfect serum, the messages can be taken as being sent close to that date. Around the 1940s, mail usually took around 1-2 business days. With 4 letters, they could be spaced out as November 4, 6, 8 and 10 leading into Schmidt taking the serum on the 11th.
↑In One Bad Day, Lillian says that her father "fought a world war". Based on her age, her father would have been born around the 1920s, meaning it would be World War II he fought in.
↑An article in Iron Man says, "After the attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt declared that the United States would build fifty thousand planes to fight the armies of Hirohito and Hitler. Howard Stark answered the call of duty and..." In the real world, Roosevelt made this declaration on May 16, 1940, before the attack on Pearl Harbor. It can therefore be taken that this happened soon after Pearl Harbor and approximated to the next day.
↑Chris Hemsworth portrays a young adult Thor in several flashbacks of Thor: Love and Thunder, including two of him running, one of him smiling at a campfire, one of him kissing a Passionist, and one of him kissing a Wolf Woman. Based on Hemsworth's age when filming his appearances as Thor and the rate at which Asgardians age (see details here), these events can be distributed throughout Thor's adulthood prior to the events of Thor, which start in 2010 (see 2010 references). This places the two scenes of him running in July 1670 and June 1738, the campfire in June 1806, the Passionist in June 1874, and the Wolf Woman in June 1942.
↑ 58.0058.0158.0258.0358.0458.0558.0658.0758.0858.0958.1058.1158.1258.13In Destined and Time and Again, flashbacks are shown of Aisha running from the Clandestines and her life with Hasan. The scenes of her running from the Clandestines are labeled "1942," placing them within that year. These two scenes can be approximated to occur on the midpoint of the year, July 2, 1942. Aisha then meets Hasan on seemingly the next day, July 3, 1942. When Aisha sings to her daughter Sana, she sings the song Aaja Ri Nindiya, which was released on November 16, 1945. Sana appears roughly six months old in this scene, and roughly three years old at the time of the Partition of India, August 15, 1947. To keep Sana as close to three years old as possible, it can be taken that Aisha sings the song to her daughter the day after it is released, November 17, 1945. In the scene prior, Aisha appears to be approximately twenty-six weeks pregnant. Working backwards from November 17, 1945, this places Sana's birth in May 1945 and the scene with Aisha pregnant on November 9, 1944.
↑The insignia of the German Afrika Korps on the boxes carried by HYDRA soldiers in Shadows implies the corpse was found somewhere in North Africa before the surrender of the Army Group Africa on May 13, 1943.
↑In Iron Man 2, the Stark Expo opens on May 7, 2010 (see 2010 references). Due to the fact that the Expo runs through the year, it can be taken that it opens around the same time every Expo. It can also be taken that a poster were to be released a month prior to opening, placing it on April 7th.
↑Since it is reporting that Captain America is the man who saved the child, it would happen after the first show. Additionally, newspapers release weekly and Rogers was already on the front of the newspaper releasing on June 23rd, so the next one would be a week later.
↑In A Normal Amount of Rage, Bruce Banner says, "Steve Rogers is not a virgin. He lost his virginity to a girl in 1943 on the USO tour." Rogers did USO shows from June 23, 1943 through November 3, 1943 (see other references). This event can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, August 28, 1943.
↑In Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, a Ten Rings operative is shown blowing up a building. A newspaper stand near the building reads "CAPTAIN AMERICA TO RECEIVE MEDAL OF HONOR." Captain America received the Medal of Honor in December 1943 for a rescue which occurred on November 3, 1943. The explosion can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these dates, November 17, 1943.
↑In AKA A Lotta Worms, it is said that the tunnel was used "in the '40s". The middle of the 1940s is December 31, 1944, so the rough time when this was occurring may be approximated to 1944.
↑ 105.0105.1105.2An official prop of Chester Phillips' telegram from Captain America: The First Avenger places it as sent on "Feb 3rd 1945", and in the interrogation scene, Phillips says it was sent that morning, making it February 3, 1945. The film then progresses to Red Skull making final preparations for his plan "tomorrow", before returning to Steve Rogers, who is still in mourning in London in the bar he used to spend time in with the Howling Commandos. The mourning suggests it is not long after Barnes' apparent death, making the Red Skull scene prior also not long after, and therefore the climax "tomorrow" still shortly after Barnes' death and Zola's interrogation, so early February 1945. However, in Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline, it is stated that Rogers disappeared in "March 1945". This is possible when you consider that Rogers has specifically returned to a place symbolic of his mourning and therefore this need not be immediately fresh after Barnes' loss, and that when Phillips then talks after about "the valuable information [Zola] has provided" it can be taken that Zola provided info over some time, not just the once. Given the March date, it can be taken that Zola provided info for weeks while Rogers was out of action, then on February 28th (as close as possible to Barnes' death while fitting the timeline book) Rogers was in London and grieving in the bar and got called back into action with the Valkyrie's launch tomorrow.
↑In Captain Marvel: Higher, Further, Faster., the narrative says, "Erik and Tom lean in as Bonnie tells them a story about a transport mission at the tail end of World War II that went all kinds of wrong." "The tail end" implies that it was during the final year of the war, but before the war ended on September 2, 1945. This mission can therefore be approximated to have occurred between the start of the year and the end of the war, approximately May 1945.
↑In an extended scene from The Incredible Hulk, Thaddeus Ross says he was 27 when he came home from Vietnam. With this event dated to July 1972 (see 1970s references), this would place his date of birth between July 1944 and July 1945. William Hurt's age at the time of filming The Incredible Hulk, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and Black Widow suggests Ross would have been born closer to c. 1952, so his date of birth can be taken to have been at the end of this period, July 1945.
↑In Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline, it is shown that Howard Stark's continued work with the government through to recovering the Tesseract was "1945-46", making the Tesseract recovery 1946. It is also before the events of Marvel One-Shot: Agent Carter, beginning March 15, 1946, so between January 1 and March 15, 1946. Using the midpoint as an approximation, the Tesseract was found around February 7, 1946.
↑ 134.0134.1134.2134.3134.4134.5In Valediction, it is shown to be the first anniversary of V-E Day, placing it on May 8, 1946. The events of A Sin to Err to Valediction revolve around this date. With The Iron Ceiling firmly on April 25-26, 1946, this places a necessary 10-day gap between The Iron Ceiling and A Sin to Err.
↑Time and Again features a quote from Jawaharlal Nehru which in the real world was said on August 15, 1947, the day of the Partition of India. However, during the Partition, it is said that the scene with the quote was "last night." It can therefore be taken that Nehru said the quote the day before in the MCU.
↑In Seeing Red, a newspaper is shown reporting on Louis Mountbatten addressing the Pakistani government among other reports on the Partition of India. This can be approximated to the day after the Partition, August 16, 1947.
↑In Hollywood Ending, Daniel Sousa and Peggy Carter are last shown on July 27, 1947 (see other references) beginning a relationship. In Avengers: Endgame, on July 21, 1949 (see other references), Peggy Carter is shown to be single. In Alien Commies from the Future!, Sousa and Carter's breakup is alluded to when, in 1955, Daisy Johnson sees his file and knows from the history of the main timeline that by that point he is "Peggy Carter's old partner", and then in that episode and Out of the Past Sousa referencing Carter being in his past and his breakup in a timeline that at that point is supposed to be near-identical to the main timeline. So, Sousa and Carter break up between July 27, 1947 and July 21, 1949. Using the midpoint of this period as an approximation, it can be taken to have been July 23, 1948.
↑In Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline, it is stated that the revived Super Soldier Program conducted on Isaiah Bradley occurred in the "late 1940s/early 1950s". This implies that it began by the end of the 1940s. With it placed in the book after the Ms. Marvel events of August 15, 1947 (see other references), this places the start between then and December 31, 1949, so c. October 22/23, 1948. However, it is implied in Star Spangled Man and Truth that the program only really returned in earnest during the Korean War, implying it began c. 1950 - so, if in the 1940s, then ideally closer to December 31, 1949. Splitting the difference as an approximation, it can be taken that the program was revived around May 28, 1949.
↑Christopher Markus says Steve Rogers went back in time to "roughly '48". Stephen McFeely says "1948", sometime after the second season of Agent Carter (which finishes in July 1947 (see other references). However, the film's shooting script, written by them, explicitly says "1949", and that Rogers is "112". Rogers is biologically 38.7 at the time of his time travel, so lived a further 73.3-74.3 years back to October 30, 2023 (see 2023 references), meaning he arrived back in time between approximately July 21, 1949 and July 20, 1950. Assuming the earliest possible, to be as close as possible to the "1948" comments, Rogers can be taken to have traveled to July 21, 1949.
↑ 173.0173.1173.2While work began on the founding of S.H.I.E.L.D. in 1946, the true founding of S.H.I.E.L.D. is dated to late 1949 into 1950 (see other references). In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a newspaper is shown with an August 13, 1945 date for Zola's recruitment. However, Valediction shows that Zola is still in prison in May 1946, invalidating this. Zola says in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, "After the war, S.H.I.E.L.D. was founded, and I was recruited," implying this did not happen in the SSR years, but during/after S.H.I.E.L.D.'s founding, so late 1949 at the earliest. Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline states that Zola's arrival in S.H.I.E.L.D. and first work on Bucky Barnes still happened within the "late 1940s", meaning it must be late 1949, not 1950, despite 1950 being ideal given it is when S.H.I.E.L.D. had been fully founded. It can be taken that Zola's recruitment still occurred on August 13, just 1949 instead of 1945,and the first work on Barnes was December 1949, as close as possible to 1950.
↑Through a series of calculations, taking into account actor ages, working back from present events and flashback settings, and evidence from Luke Cage, it can be found that Pop was born around December 1949. The full calculations can be found here.
