Falcon And Winter Soldier: We Have Questions About The Final 2 Episodes

Sure, trailers have shown that at some point he visits a grave (his family's?) in Sokovia. But where will be go after that? Will he return to new besties Sam and Bucky? Or enjoy his freedom?And more critically, did his escape last week via that narrow, secret hatch dirty his incredible coat's fur collar?

Will Karli Morgenthau effectively retreat, now that she has A) accidentally killed Battlestar/Lemar, much to her surprise, and B) witnessed firsthand the horror of a suped-up Cap murdering one of her colleagues in cold blood?And if she does retreat, will the other Flag Smashers follow in kind? Or might those remaining Super Soldiers find — or be forced to serve — a new leader such as, for example, the mysterious Power Broker?

Did John Walker's wife Olivia drop him like he's hot after the plaza video went viral? Or are they due for a "very special" couples Q&A with Good Morning America's Sara Haines?

Is it just us, or does Bucky's hair look different — longer — in these Louisiana-set scenes from Episode 5? (And if a meaningful amount of time does pass ahead of the April 23 finale, why is that?) Or did Bucky simply use less product that day?Maybe the larger question here is: Why a sudden road trip to Sam's hometown, with all that is going on? If he needed to practice with the shield, trees grow lots of places.

What is in this high-tech case that, as seen in a promo from December, Sam apparently receives while back in Louisiana? Or is that simply his Falcon supersuit?

Looking at this episodic photo from Episode 5: Did Sam and Bucky reclaim this shield from John Walker, who challenges them to do so in an Episode 5 TV spot that is now running?If they do seize it from Walker at some point in Episode 5, does that mean he will be out of the equation for the season finale? And if he is, who is Sam training to fight?

Who is Sharon Carter working for, that after learning Bucky and Sam were in Madripoor — and in the immediate wake of Dr. Nagel's murder — she told an unnamed female associate they had "a big problem... a couple of them, actually" to deal with? Who is she allied with that she enjoys a posh apartment in the good part of town, has easy satellite access, etc;?

Who is the Power Broker crime boss that lords over Madripoor, and who has a beef with the Flag Smashers for stealing the Super Soldier serum he had Dr. Nagel develop? Can we surmise it is the "grounded character" with a "strong personality" that head writer Malcolm Spellman told Rotten Tomatoes will appear in Episode 5?

Have we seen the last of Super Soldier Isaiah Bradley (and/or his grandson Eli, who in Marvel comics has a Young Avengers destiny)?

Is Sam and Sarah's family business going to be OK? Will they finally get that loan? (Or did Yelp reviews do them in after they left a huge delivery of seafood sitting on the back of truck for, like, an hour, while meeting with that one loan officer?)Or, might a certain devilish bit wealthy baron come through as an angel investor, in trade for his freedom?

Will Bucky go back to therapy, once this is over? (He hadn't made much progress before he left....) Better yet, will he beg sushi house waitress Leah to give him another shot at octogenarian love?

Last but not least: When all is said and done, will Sam reach a peace about truly inheriting and doing right by Steve Rogers' legacy, and suit up as Captain America?

Disney+'s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is now two-thirds of the way through its six-episode run, and there remains at least one major mystery to solve before any season-ending showdown.

Said mystery, of course, is the identity of "The Power Broker," the Madripoor crime boss who bankrolled the late Dr. Nagel's refining of the Super Soldier serum, and who now is coming after the Flag Smashers who stole the only produced doses. Little does PB know, last we heard from him, that said samples were destroyed by Zemo — save for the one that Captain America/John Walker found and helped himself to (for better... or for worse).

Will the Power Broker be revealed to be a character we already know? Or is he/she the new character that head writer Malcolm Spellman has said will be introduced in Episode 5, out Friday, April 16?

But while many are mulling that mystery man, we find ourselves a bit perplexed by the sequence of events ahead, given that Sam will start training with Cap's iconic shield in this Friday's episode. What does that mean for crazed John Walker?

Those are among the several burning questions we have heading into Episode 5, which will be followed on April 23 by the season finale. Review our list below, then offer up your latest and greatest theories!
