No super serum, no blonde hair and blue eyes. What don’t I understand” about hard decisions? “Millions will hate me” for adopting the Captain America persona, he says. When the GRC leader speaks about difficult decisions, Sam counters, “I’m a Black man wearing stars-and-stripes. Sam notes that the GRC is poised to have the same impact as a cosmic force who could erase half the planet, so they need to choose their battles wisely. In a great speech, Sam urges the GRC to stop calling the Flag Smashers “terrorists,” saying that such labels are used by governments to elude bigger questions about why they are doing what they do and why they are met by opposition. Sam flies Karli to the street, where he receives thanks from the GRC leader. ![]() When Karli pulls a gun on Sam, shots ring out - from nearby, wounded Sharon, felling the young Super Soldier, who apologizes to Sam with her dying breaths. Sam arrives to slug it out with Karli, while Bucky and Walker get the drop on the other Flag Smashers topside. Batroc demands quadruple pay for his efforts, but Sharon instead meets his blackmail with a bullet - while taking one from Karli herself. Sharon invites Karli to ally with her again to “make a difference together,” but Karli scoffs, “You just want your muscle back.” Batroc arrives on the scene, and Karli realizes he was double-crossing her on behalf of the Power Broker. The ladies lower their guards and express how they are each “disappointed” in one another, and we realize that Sharon is in fact the Power Broker. Karli retreats into a nearby building’s basement, where she thinks she is following the coded whistling of a confederate, but instead runs into Sharon Carter. When Sam joins Bucky and Walker in the pit, Batroc lobs in some smoke bombs, allowing for the Flag Smashers’ escape. Before the van can nosedive a second time, Sam as Captain America swoops in to rocketblast it up to safety. Walker saves the van from plummeting, until Flag Smashers jump him en masse, and they all tumble into the pit alongside Bucky. Karli makes off with the second van and jumps out after steering it off a ledge toward a construction pit. As Bucky struggles with the doubly-armored back door, John Walker arrives (in his Cap duds and toting his homemade shield) and angrily calls out for “Morgenthau!” Walker gets into it with Karli and then all the nearby Flag Smashers, but Bucky, after rescuing the vanful of GRC peeps, intervenes and saves Walker from a beating. With Bucky fighting Flag Smashers streetside, Karli creates a distraction by setting one of the blockaded vans on fire. After having Red Wing confirm that one of the passengers, Ayla, has flight training - and after a brief detour to save an NYPD helicopter crew from a crash, to boot! - Sam coordinates with Ayla to seize the controls just as he breeches the cockpit and drags out the pilot. Sam escapes Batroc to get into an aerial chase with a helicopter carrying GRC bigwigs, but piloted by a Flag Smasher. While Bucky gives chase on a motorcycle, Sharon “bumps into”/doses Lennox with poison in the parking garage, to keep him from tailing the vans. Jackson Scene Was ‘Like a Play’ for ‘Two Brilliant Actors’ Secret Invasion Director: ‘Stunning’ Don Cheadle/Samuel L. While Sam slugs it out with Batroc, Karli manages to get Bucky on the phone, in part to taunt him with questions of ideology but mainly to distract him from realizing that the GRC members are being whisked to “safety” in a pair of armored vans, which Flag Smasher Lennox has sealed with locks. He is promptly KO’d, though, by Captain America’s shield - as lobbed by Sam, who comes crashing through a window in his new star-spangled threads. Sensing the heroes’ arrival, Karli gives the order for the GRC chamber to be gassed, forcing an evacuation - right into the path of a masked goon. As Bucky arrives on the scene, an incoming Sam radios him to say he sent for backup, in the form of Sharon Carter. The episode “One World, One People” picked up right where last week left off, with the GRC’s meeting/vote on global resettlement sent into turmoil by the Flag Smashers. ![]() The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘s finale staged a final showdown with Karli and the Flag Smashers, before teasing “weird” things ahead in the MCU (as well as a new title for any possible Season 2). ![]()
