[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” Episode 4, “The Whole World Is Watching.”]
A specter is haunting “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and based on “The Whole World Is Watching” there’s no exorcising it. The ghost of Steve Rogers’ Captain America was inescapable during the fourth episode, which saw a new entrant (however unlikely) in the Captain America sweepstakes and witnessed the probable destruction of the current shield-bearer. Given that the Disney+ series is the MCU’s first Captain America story since Steve’s exit — building off his legacy while ushering in his successor(s) — it might be best to assess the critical events of this week’s episode through the various components that made up our original Star-Spangled Man with a Plan: the man he always was, the serum that amplified his attributes, and what he stood for while carrying his shield.

Spoiler Alert: The following recap contains spoilers from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Episode 4, “The Whole World Is Watching.”
Bitter, angry, jaded, doubtful — Wyatt Russell’s Captain America may just be the most intriguing MCU superhero yet. While Episode 4 of Disney+/Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Solider didn’t provide huge cliffhangers like Episode 3 with its arrival of Black Panther‘s Ayo, we sure got to know John Walker more. And, man, does he have a complex.
The action picks up soon after Ayo (Florence Kasumba) meets Bucky (Sebastian Stan) in the streets of Latvia. We see in a flashback sequence they’re former comrades: Ayo was key in de-programming him from his winter soldier functions. Ayo tells Bucky he has eight hours before she comes for Zemo.

Spoiler Alert: The following recap contains spoilers from The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Episode 3, “The Power Broker.”
The halfway point of Disney+/Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Solider served up plenty of set-up, with a chock-a-block amount of details from the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as returning characters and cameos galore.
The biggest surprise, as is typical for any of these new Marvel/Disney+ episodes, came with its cliffhanger: The arrival of Florence Kasumba’s Black Panther warrior Ayo, who Bucky encounters on the streets in Latvia. “I’m here for Zemo,” she declares in Wakandan. Zemo assassinated King T’Chaka in Captain America: Civil War, and Ayo has come for his head. Who knows how this plot string will get tied up, but as Deadline first told you there is a Wakanda series in the works for Disney+. This looks like the launchpad.
