A couple of the small things I loved in this episode...spoilers of course:




The relief on Bucky's face in that flashback of him realizing that he is free. Contrast that with a couple episodes ago when the therapist told him he was free and his response was "free to do what?" shows that in the time that's passed, he's gotten more troubled/dark. Also, he definitely owes Ayo since Zemo's gotten away. He's gonna need to help in getting him back.

The contrast between Sam and Lemar's answer to the question of whether they'd take the serum. Same instantly says no, while Lemar says yes - justifying the decision that Walker had already made.

The Flag Smasher dude who said he actually looked up to Captain America was the one who got killed by the shield at the end.

Speaking of that ending scene, all the onlookers with their cameras filming Walker felt like a callback to T'Challa and Klaw from Black Panther - when T'Challa realized that "the world was watching" he showed restraint. Walker on the other hand saw people filming and just brutally kept on going. Iconic shot with the shield having blood on it.

Random thought - it's interesting how they cast the actress from Solo who played Enfys Nest (Erin Kellyman) to essentially play the same character here. In both cases she is the leader of a rebel/revolutionary group who are seen as terrorists because of how they go about their quests, but are when she takes her mask off she is an innocent looking young woman who is much more sympathetic.
