  • The Attack: The funeral is violently interrupted by a sniper who targets Dum Dum Dugan. Steve springs into action, saving his friend and chasing the assassin through the streets of Paris.
  • Codename: Bravo: The assassin is revealed to be an old ally from a wartime mission known as Codename: Bravo (real name Richard), who grew bitter after believing Peggy broke off their relationship because she preferred Steve.
  • A New Lead: After the skirmish, Steve, Nick, and Sharon learn that an old acquaintance from that same wartime mission, Jimmy Jankovicz (a.k.a. Jimmy Jupiter), has recently woken up from a long coma, a development they realize is connected to Bravo's return.
  • A Trap: The team travels to a secret government facility in Virginia to check on Jimmy, but the visit is a setup. Hydra agents attack the facility and kidnap the elderly, catatonic Jimmy, revealing that Bravo is working with Hydra to get his revenge.
