Fortunately, he survived and even shared a sweet kiss with Peggy.
Could he bethat husbandPeggy talked about inWinter Soldier?
Unfortunately, not everyone made it out of the season finale unscathed.
After Thompson stole the redacted file on Peggys exploits in the S.O.E.
What does this all mean?
EW caught up with executive producers Michele Fazekas and Tara Butters to get the scoop.
(Readour postmortemwith Hayley Atwell, who teases the contents of that SOE file.)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did you kill off Jack Thompson?!
MICHELE FAZEKAS:We did not kill off Jack Thompson, we shot Jack Thompson.
FAZEKAS:Yup, that was the intent.
Lets talk about the person who may or may not have killed Jack.
Is it someone we know?
Are they connected to the Council of Nine?
FAZEKAS:Its unrelated to the Council of Nine.
It is not for the reasons that youd expect.
Its unrelated to Council of Nine, Zero Matter, any of that.
Purely related to the file?
This file reveals Peggys exploits with the S.O.E.
and some kind of massacre.
Whats really going on here?
FAZEKAS:You have to pay really close attention to what exactly we showed that was in the file.
We were really specific about what information was given for a reason.
Could it actually pertain to Peggys late brother, not her?
Thompson had uncovered that that pin was actually a key.
Is that something you plan to explore in a potential third season?
FAZEKAS:We do.
We had half an idea about that that we would revisit in a third season.
Peggys come so far from when we first met her inCaptain America: The First Avenger.
Where does her journey take her next considering how much growth weve already seen?
BUTTERS:Theres so much you’re able to still explore with her.
What is it for her to be in a relationship?
How do things change with her and Jarvis (James DArcy)?
How does she become the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Its great to explore all of that.
Are you definitively saying that Sousa couldthe husbandthat Peggy talked about?
BUTTERS:No, were not.
FAZEKAS:Were not saying hes not, but were not saying he is.
What does that relationship look like moving forward, especially since they work together?
FAZEKAS:Thats whats going to be fun.
Im really interested in exploring that.
I dont think Sousa is under any illusions that hes her boss.
He was tweaking her in that moment where he was like, As your supervisor…
I dont think Sousa has any hangups about that, and I dont think she does either.
BUTTERS:Or have to keep things from?
You could get into what that means.
BUTTERS:And the balance.
FAZEKAS:How do you balance that?
How much does that play a role when she gets into this relationship with Sousa?
Shes pushed past that for herself.
I think she accepts that.
Everyone knows what theyre signing up for.
In that moment, in episode 9, Jarvis is saying that to hurt her, and it worked.
I dont think he really believes that.
Ultimately, Peggy has been able to incorporate that into her life.
I love that argument so much.
Its one of my favorite things Ive ever written.
They love each other, which means they know exactly how to hurt each other.
The way that James and Hayley played that scene was so real that I was super happy with that.
Jarvis was willing to kill Whitney Frost.
How do you think that changes him and his dynamic with Peggy moving forward?
If you really care about people, you like their faults and all.
I feel like you know that he has that ability to go there.
I still think that these two are even closer now through this experience.
Oh, isnt this fun?
Lets Netflix and chill and go punch some guys!
What are you referencing?
Turning to Whitney Frost, why did you ultimately decide to have her go crazy?
And is that the last weve seen of her?
BUTTERS: I hope not.
I hope we get to bring her back.
FAZEKAS:We probably dont exactly tell that story again, but I loved working with Wynn.
We didnt want to kill her off.
That was a direct result of Zero Matter.
BUTTERS:There was a little Frances Farmer connection of Old Hollywood taking its toll.
FAZEKAS:I really like how sad I feel for Ken Marino.
Oh, Manfredi still loves her!
In the closing moments of the episode, Peggy is torn between New York and Los Angeles.
We loved doing L.A.
If I had a choice between doing New York and L.A. again, Id pick L.A.
But London has been dropped.
Its all going to be determined by what story we want to tell.
I loved how it looked, I loved how it looked on Peggy.
We would be very happy to do another L.A. season, but were not married to it.
Was that London idea part of the reason we saw Jack Thompson there picking up that file?
Is her father still around?
What is that about?
How do you feel about the shows chances for a third season?
People have to watch the show.
Everybody loves the job, everybody loves working together.
I doubt that theres a Netflix play for it.
Were not really involved in those decisions anyway.
At the end of the day, people have to watch the show.
Would you consider a way to wrap up the story somehow?
If they wanted us to do anything, we would do it.
We absolutely love it.
Expect news on whetherMarvels Agent Carterwill return sometime in May.
