Agent Carter: The Edge of Mystery/A Little Song and Dance Review

Following the cliffhanger of last week's two hour extravaganza, last night's episode was all heartbreak, action and shocks and turns. But what else could you expect from the two episodes before the season finale?

I won't lie. I was in tears majority of the episode. Why? Bloody Edwin and Ana Jarvis. If you thought Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was painful, last night Agent Carter gave some of the most emotional, heartrending scenes I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

James D'Arcy knocked it out of the park last night with his performance as Jarvis dealt with the aftermath of Ana being shot-and unexpected consequences that followed the injury. The emotions were raw, charged and felt real during the episode; each actor provided a stellar performance, but James D'Arcy and Hayley Atwell absolutely stole the show with their emotional scenes, especially with their argument in the desert in A Little Song and Dance.

Speaking of song and dance, I was honestly shocked at how well done the dream sequence was. While one could argue it didn't really match the tone of the rest of the episode, it was a fun scene altogether and saw the long awaited return of Angie Martinelli (Lyndsy Fonseca) as the entire cast put on a fantastic show, complete with singing and an epic dance between Peggy and Daniel (and yet another almost kiss....perhaps the third time will be the charm) that was quite frankly amazingly done and had me shipping them even more (which I didn't think was possible).

The scene was also done as a way of showing Peggy's impossible place in the love triangle between her, Jason and Daniel, as well as giving us another glimpse at her brother Michael with an emotional scene as the two talked about Peggy being in the field and how Michael knew that it was what she wanted more than anything.

With plot twists, betrayals, heartbreak, gasp worthy moments and more shipper squeals than I can count, these two episodes were absolutely fantastic and beautifully done. Honestly, I can't wait to see what next week has in store for us.

Rating: 5/5 (I would also argue 10/10)
