Will Clint make it home for Christmas?
The clock is ticking, as a mid-episode phone call with his youngest, Tanner, makes clear.
A cozy Christmas at home seems pretty far away.
But at least, by the time Tanner calls, hes gotten himself and Kate out of immediate danger.
Thats where we rejoin them in Echoes,Hawkeyes third episode, but only after a flashback.
First: an origin story.
Or, more accurately, signing the shots.
Maya is deaf and has a prosthetic leg below one knee.
Shes smart and dangerous, in other words.
She also works for someone, though we havent yet been told who.
But there are hints.
Also, the Tracksuit headquarters that served as Williams base of operations is called Fat Man Auto Repair.
Is the Kingpin coming Clint and Kates way?
And will DOnofrio return?
(Marvels Netflix series, though kind of sidelined these days, are technically within MCU continuity.)
Well have to wait to find out.
Meanwhile, the forces of the unseen crime lord cause a lot of trouble for our heroes this week.
(CW: fans of classic American muscle cars might want to look away during a key scene.)
They mostly make it work.
Clint would rather keep to the shadows, claiming hes no role model.
Unresolved here, its an argument likely to continue.
And Clint, hes got problems too, when Jack appears at the last moment, shield in hand.
What happens next, however, belongs to another episode.
Loose Arrows
Clint still uses a flip phone?
Is this a security thing or is he just old?
Dragons are all over this episode.
Maya asks if theyre real.
William calls her a dragon with his dying words.
Hmm…
Well, my go-to weapon is two sticks and string.
My dad was fearless.
And his whole life was dedicated to helping people.
It seems like we dont know everything about Kates dad yet, right?
The Pym arrow is a nice touch, as is the sidetrack through the Christmas tree lot.
Its Christmassy and Russian so it works a couple of different ways thanks to the Tracksuit bad guys.)
