Nice catch, i didn't even think about that. I was pissed thinking about what went through Kate's head why she didn't put an arrow through Yelena's throat.
The endgame music when widow falls pops up twice in this episode, when hes talking about the best shot he never took and the scene where kate is hanging off the side of the building and clint cuts her free. Shivers!!! Marvel are so good at capturing moments and emotions.
You missed the clint-kate, clint-natasha parallel when she was about to fall and was asking him to pull her up. They even played the background score from endgame.
I think Laura is a former shield agent. She doesn't sound scared or nervous about the work that Clint has to do. Also, she's like his "woman in a chair" helping him with information.
@@richardgilbert2897 Probably. My first thought was Tonys watch from Civil War that turns into a gauntlet/has a mini arc reactor in it. But yeah it's probably some kind of spy tech that holds data.
Looks like Laura might have been "Mockingbird" under SHIELD before she abandoned that identity to become Clint's wife. That watch probably contains info about her old life and mission.
That is both cool and sad, because Marvel TV actually had a real and great Bobbi Morse in Adrienne Palicki in Agents of SHIELD. And if Feige is already bringing Marvel TV actors, I was hoping for Adrienne’s Mockingbird to be brought too. But Feige does love to change and mix characters from the comics. So perhaps you might be right.
@@louisfrancisco2171 True. Just hope they don't ignore Agents of SHIELD now that they have brought actors/characters from the other two ABC shows into the main MCU.
Remember Yelena was contracted by Valentina to kill Clint. What is Valentina's angle? There are so many threads that need to be sowed together. I believe this show will be very important to connect everything we have seen so far in Phase 4.
It's not as much as what the watch do, it's who it used to belong to. As Clint said, the owner's identity is on that watch and if that gets out, that person would be in danger. I'm starting to think the watch was Laura's or was a gift from her to Clint and has her name (or real name) engraved on it. Some people theorize that Laura was somekind of undercover agent who assumed a new identity when she retired or married Clint. It's possible that Clint used to wear it or kept it by his person when he was Ronin, which would explain why it was in the Avengers Compound along with the rest of Ronin's stuff. Now why or how would the person who sent the Tracksuits to get that watch would know about it is the most interesting question.
Laura is a MCU character only,she nor the kids exist in the comics. Hawkeye was married in thr comics to Mockingbird. I bet Laura is gonna be Mockingbird.
@@clarktownsend8991 Correct. And Marvel has implied in some interviews that Mockingbird was to be recast from her days on Agents of Shield. And since so many fans want to see more of Clint's wife, it would be appropriate if she had a name change ie... witness protection and is now Laura Barton instead of Bobbi Morse.
for me, a good and simple way for yelena to find out what really happened to nat would be to just hear about it while eavesdropping on a conversation between clint and kate. like clint telling kate how nat died and it just so happens that yelena planted a bug on him during their fight so she hears everything.
One theory I had was if Maya actually tried holding Clint's family hostage to get his attention (since she has info on his wife/kids and this would be the chance to show Yelena's moral compass and be like, isn't this too far?) and maybe his daughter pulls out a photo or a photo falls from a shelf. Yelena sees it's a family photo of Clint's family along with Natasha, maybe even with her holding Clint's daughter (since we know she and Nat were close). While not actually knowing what happened, she would realize Clint and Nat were obviously close and she's been lied to. Cue her being like, wait, what don't I actually know?
I think Kate's mother called Val and had her set Yelena on Clints trail here. Val seems like someone who would be interested on artifacts from the Avengers compound and might use others to procure them for her. Yelena did not get out there to hunt down Clint on her own, Val hired her to go after Clint. Yelena knowing, that Kate is the daughter of her employers customer would explain several things: 1st.) Why Yelena attacked right there, when they where going for the watch. Kate's mother probably has the means to track Kate's phone with the security app of her company. 2nd.) Why Yelena hooked Kate to the line, so she does not fall. 3rd.) Why Yelena was hesitant engaging Kate. I also think the watch is about the history of Clint's wife Laura. I think there is a good chance she was a shield agent, too, before they both married. It would explain why she is so collected about all he is doing, why can talk to her openly about his work, why she is able to get him information and even how they both met and got to know each other well enough, to fall in love and marry, despice Clints occupation. Maybe Fury staged her death when he set them up at the secret farm house. .... would be cool when she turns out to be a badass, too, when someone threatens their kids.I hope for a christmas dinner in the last episode with the Bartons and Yelena on the same table :)

A crazy theory just popped into my head: What if Jack really is innocent and it’s actually Eleanor that’s laundering money for “Uncle” and she just put Jack as the CEO on paper bc it’s a shell company and she needed to absolve her involvement in it 😱 it would explain that weird phone call I think Either that or they’re both bad guys 😂😂
This series has exceeded my expectations for sure, so much fun, the yelena reveal was done really well!!! The biggest thing for me is how they're setting up this interconnected underworld for Kingpin to be revealed in, and it's gonna be so cool when he finally has his moment. Loved the reaction and thoughts!
I have noticed that this show is not leaving any dead scenes. In the first episode, we saw Kate stomp a champagne bottle into somebody's face and in this episode, she stomps a gun out of Yelena's reach. This episode she is learning to flick coins, so I expect to see her use that trick for effect before the end of the season.
I saw someone complaining early on about a side story that went nowhere, even then I couldn't understand what they were talking about. Every scene is so focused and is usually doing more than one thing at once.
Why Marvel have to give me PTSD with that parallel of Natasha on vormir and Kate on the side of the building (😭 gg to you Marvel and Kevin Fiege)!! Yelena was awesome too!!!!
Kate’s mom made a call and left a message after Hawkeye left…. did she make the call to Valentina so they can get Yelena on Clint and get him out of Kate’s life?
It is more likely she called Uncle to warn about the situation 🤔 Assuming Eleanor works with or for him or partnering with him. Or is being bribed by him for perhaps killing her husband?
@@iloveentertainment if she was working for him she didn't sound too scared of saying the bad news to him. But maybe they are on a same level of power and not one above the other Asuming he is scary I'm not sure if she would tell him what's happening if she cares for Kate.
@@FranciscoRamirez-nb4uu she is smart enough to hide that bit about protecting her daughter. The problem I have with her calling Valentina is the timing…it seems like something is not quite right with that. And no evidence (yet) that they are connected. I could be wrong but who is to say I am also right? 🤔 just theories. We will find out-two episodes left to go! Edit: and also it is possible that Eleanor is partnering with Uncle. Sounding unafraid does not make it so; people can act brave but petrified inside. We are yet to know much about Elenor and hope we find out more in the last two episodes.
So, when the lady said her bag is embroidered with the name "Bombshell", I Googled it out of curiosity and found this: Bombshell is a notorious mutant criminal who works for organizations such as HYDRA and the faction she is officially a member of which is Kingpin's Gang. She is the mother of Baby Bombshell.
there's a theory circling that maybe Eleanor called Valentina and that's how Yelena shows up here, tying back to the post-credit scene in Black Widow. i'm inclined to believe it.
You guys brought up a good point: Clint thinks someone hired a Black Widow, which means he NEVER knew about Yelena from Nat, OR he did but was never told what she looks like. Nat was still keeping secrets from him.
@@Cream-2128 When Val told Yelena Clint was her sister’s murderer, she for sure didn’t know who he was to Nat. And now we’ve seen him react to her as just a Black Widow assassin. I’m telling ya, Nat obviously didn’t say shit about them to each other…but she didn’t get the chance to, either. This is kind of, in a roundabout way, her fault.💁🏻♀️
@@Cream-2128 I agree with you. She left her movie to go break everyone out of The Raft with Steve, went on the run then Thanos and Company showed up. Clint was under house arrest on his farm, so she couldn’t contact him because you know General Ross would have been expecting her to try.
My current theory... the Rolex was a gift from Natasha to Clint. The tracking chip allowed her to always find him should he get into trouble. Clint will use that as evidence they were friends. As for why the Tracksuit Mafia were after the watch... they could get someone to hack the tracking data to prove that Clint is Ronin.
Part of me thought it was Daredevil, but so much happier when it was Yelena!!! Also fun fact, Grills is part of the Hawkeye storyline. Hawkeyes homie..
Yelena jumping off the building was a total Poser moment! I really enjoyed the episode until the end and now I'm depressed. Have to wait another week. The producer said Ep.5 is probably her favorite and I want to know why! Oh and it totally makes sense now why Hawkeye's wife is so understanding. She's in cahoots! She's more involved than we've ever known!
Btw according to the hawkeye producers, episode 5 will apparently break the internet. Were already expecting kingpin, my thought is charlie cox as daredevil. That will break the internet.
14:34 Dustin said, "give the Rolex first." That's what I thought too when Clint was pushing Kate away. Lol. Yelena's appearance sent chills to my spine. Such a great episode, and love the reaction!
They did a great job of showing that Kate has tons of skills but not real world application of those skills. Loving the show so much! Can't wait for next week
Tin hat theory… with Laura being able to run to down the name of a shell company, the fluent language change, the fact that Fury set this up… could Laura Barton be a retired Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird? I mean, I love Adriane Padelicki from Agents of SHIELD and what she did but… I love the Yelena of it all… and that fight on the roof was so good.
hearing the Vormir theme as Kate hangs over really made me emotional. and watching Yelena's moves, i kept thinking of when she told Natasha, "such a poser", iChuckle.
Yelena made a clear effort to get Kate safely out of the battle by attaching the tether before she chucked her off the roof. That makes me think the person Kate's mom was desperate to call her back was Val. Which of course makes her the one that paid Val to get rid of Clint in the first place. The questions are, who is Kate's mom exactly and does Clint know who she is?
Hypothesis: Val contracted Yelena to kill Clint because Eleanor paid for it in the first place! Her daughter was "Obsessed" With Clint, and removing him from the world removes a "Bad Influence" on her daughter! If she is connected to "Uncle" (a certain "King" of the underworld) it would give her the money and connections to hire a Black Widow....maybe? (Why is Yelena taking contracts on people?)
This might be the best episode of a Marvel TV show I’ve seen yet. The action, the heart, the emotion, all topped off with that badass final fight and Yelena reveal. Couldn’t be happier with how this show is going
Someone did kind of "hire" Yelena, though... or at least tasked Valentina's organization with this job. Valentina showed up with a dossier wanting her to go after Clint. It wasn't some random whim.
Not deaf or hard of hearing but from what I've read not using hearing aids is a thing. There's a great article in Salon about what Hawkeye was getting right and what it could still improve on. Clint turning off his hearing aid was on the list that impressed the writer. Navigating life while wearing a hearing aid can be very tiring because of how they work.
My craziest off the wall theory is, what if Kate's mom took advantage of all the chaos of the battle in New York to kill her husband. She seemed pretty cold during the scenes in that time. Also, super slight chance here, what if she's a black widow? Kate could have been a child from a previous marriage, she marries him while Kate is too young to remember, and they never tell her. In the Black Widow movie, it showed that they were distributed around the world in key positions. Now that her husband is gone, she's in charge of a security company with what appears to be pretty far reaching resources. Also, look at how Armand reacted to her. He hated her, maybe he had an inkling that she was dangerous. Another theory that doesn't really rely on the above is, Kate's mom runs a security agency. I wonder if they hand't the security for the mystery boss that heads the organized crime operation Kate and Clint have butted heads with. Look at the security system in that apartment. Wonder if mommy dearests company was monitoring it. Kate gummied up the strobes, but I'm pretty sure I saw a camera on the wall. Maybe her mom will see her in action on video. What a great episode and reaction.
As a dual hearing aid wearer... It is peaceful to kinda x out sound at your disposal. I remember when I first got my hearing aids I was pissed that the world was so loud. Idk how yall do it. I only wear my hearing aids for "important stuff".
The rumor going around is that Lara (Clint’s wife) IS the newly re-cast Mockingbird and the watch was her’s back In the day when Clint and Lara were out in the field together.
Since Black Widow came out, I had some questions about VAl. The main one being how she knew certain details that should have been inaccessible to her, which, to me tells me there is a mole. I think that mole is Laura Barton. Val knew two things that should have not been known, the status of Caps shield, and that Clint killed Nat, which obviously he didn't, but there is only two people who were witness to Nats death, Clint and Red Skull. However, Clint would have confided in Laura the events on Vormir. Now that Laura is being portrayed to have skill beyond raising children, how did she have such quick access to who was running the Track Suit Mafia? Clint Barton's end in this series has always been a problem because of his family, however, if it turns out that Laura is a double agent, his death could lead to far more story lines than him just retiring into the sunset.
Wendy and Dustin I figured out after watching this episode that it was Kate's mom who called Val and told her she needed a favor and if there was to go after Clint , remember after she talked to Clint Kate's mom called somebody and said she needed a favor and that person was Val who told Yelena the her next assignment was Clint and the only way that she knew yelena would do it was by telling her that Clint was the one who killed Natasha
Clint will never forget the sacrifice Natasha made for him, and now I don't know how he will take it from Yelena that she is the new Black Widow!😱😱🏹🏹❤❤
Yelena was hired, she wasn't trying to kill Clint on her own. She works for Val,. Val gave her the Clint mission from the Black Widow post-credit scene and told her that he is responsible for her sister's death and only then did she come for him
Judging by the end credits of Shang shi, I'm surprised Clint couldn't ask Bruce or someone at wherever they situated to atleast monitor the stolen thing from the compound lol
I was literally predicting before episode permied i was knowing for a fact that the reason why the episode will blow our mind is because Florence Pugh's black widow is coming And before The mask was off that the person in the suit was the black widow (Florence Pugh) and i was right
Well, technically Yelena WAS hired… on what looks like a long term contract. Clint was her assigned target this time. Bet she thinks she’s one of the good guys, which was why Kate wasn’t a target as well. No collateral damage. I am wondering how anyone knows Natasha didn’t just die in Thanos’s attack on the compound. How much did the Avengers reveal?
Yelena's soft spot for Kate is one of the fandom's favorite things about this show. From the beginning, it's evident that Yelena doesn't plan to kill Kate, and it's only trying to get her out of her way. This proves that the Black Widow is not a villain, but a grieving person trying to avenge her sister's death
Specifically? It looks like she's using Black Widow tech. She's using moves that are reminiscing of Natasha and it's also possible he just knows her. He introduced his family to Natasha, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume Natasha shared in return.
This episode was really good! I was so excited to Yelena! The next 2 episodes are going to be awesome! And yes I think that Elenor is definitely hiding something…. She is very suspicious… also that Hawkeye merch is really cool!
Natasha little to no opportunity to tell Clint about Yelena…. The events of Black Widow happen after the events of Civil War, so Clint was under house arrest from before the time she connected with Yelena up until his family was snapped and he turned Ronin, and Natasha was on the run and in hiding that whole time. It’s possible they could have secretly met up or talked on the phone during this time, but I think it would have been too dangerous for Natasha so they likely wouldn’t have risked it.
Although thinking about timing I think I just found a very minor plot hole…. Scott Lang was released from house arrest some time before Infinity War, while Clint was not. Maybe he had a longer sentence?
Before I saw the Widows Bite gauntlets I knew it was Yelena, only a Black Widow fights like that, and this one looked like she wanted to not just kill but DESTROY Clint. Also after seeing Kate and Clint having their own Christmas party I am now completely sold on them as partners.
i hope they uncover that jack and clint know each other why she bring up natasha like that? i like how they set up yelenas intro i wonder if the mom knows val damn laura coming through with info she has to be mockingbird I better see king pin in the finale
To correct a point, yelena is not going after Clint on her own. Yes it's personal but people seem to forget Val sent yelena after clint. The real plot point is not about the reason Clint is fighting yelena, the real question is why does Val want Clint dead.
Thoughts On Hawkeye - Episode 4 Based on the phone conversation between Clint and his wife, Laura - the vintage Rolex belonged to her. It has sentimental value as he carried it with him after The Blip. He lost it in the Avengers Compound rubble after Thanos’ ship bombed it toward the end of “Avengers: Endgame”. They both thought it was destroyed in the aftermath. It has a tracking beacon installed in it as it emitted its location signal. The ladies timepiece must be uniquely connected to Laura as it would out her true identity to whomever she had originally pledged her allegiance. She even has the designated tracking software to independently locate its whereabouts. My theory is that she is an-ex espionage operative; that’s how she knows Natasha Romanoff so well, speaks fluent German and even understood their tactical playbook - such as ‘Catch and Release’. She must have absconded to evade her former employers before seeking asylum through Nick Fury and SHIELD. Early on, Eleanor asked Kate to organize their Bishop Holiday Party. While with the LARPers, she requested them to make 2 costumes of her own design. It means that we will see Kate and Clint dressed up in their comics-accurate purple getup in the next Episode attending her Office Christmas Party. Right after Clint left the Bishop’s penthouse, Eleanor called someone and left a voicemail message: asking him/her to callback as it was urgent. My theory is that the call was meant for Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine @ Val portray by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The next evening when Kate broke into Maya’s home, Yelena Belova was waiting to ambush Clint on the rooftop as directed by her handler. I’m predicting that Maya’s adopted father: Uncle Wilson Fisk @ Kingpin shall make his cameo in Episode 5. As head of New York’s criminal underworld, I believe that Bishop Securities, Sloan Ltd and the Tracksuit Mafia are ultimately answerable to him.
Is that the watch that had the repulsor ray built into it? Stark used it in the Captain Am movie. Or it's just one of the many watches he owned, and they all do different things. Maybe it has a recording of what the Avengers did to bring everyone back and when they find it. Yelena will get to know how Natasha died. Now who does Hawkeye think hired Yelena? Kingpin doesn't like attention, so is he removing Maya too? Who does Maya think Yelena is? Does Kate even realize how dangerous the Black widows are? She's way out of her league and got thrown off a roof. Time to try to quietly back out of this situation. She won't and she still has the watch. Why didn't Yelena just shoot him. Seems like she was trying to figure something out not just get a killing revenge. How many people would actually know the details of Natasha's death? Hawkeye never said it in the movies. Maya has info on Hawkeye's private life. She will go after them. But it seems like Laura has a few tricks up her sleeves too. The language switch may be a hint of who she is or was. She was very friendly with Natasha, Hmmm
Better Buckle up.. Cause I saw that Episode 5 will blow up the Internet.. 😬👀 So i can figure on what's gonna happen! If he shows up im gonna freak out!!!
Love the parallel between Hawkeye’s best shot was not shooting [Natasha] and then we see that with Kate with Yelena later on! AHHHHH
I actually interpreted that moment as Yelana warning Kate to stay out of it and not shoot. Not really Yelana hinting that she wanted out.
@@Nick-kb2jc I can see that, but still the parallel of not shooting is still there, and I hope they become best of friends 🥺

Its just sad that Clint knows that everybody's around him is getting in danger.. So he decided to push away the one he cares, especially Kate
Clint feels like jack bauer in this episode in a good way
When the music played but she asked him to pull her up, instead of “let me go”, and he let her go, I legit teared up.
I think Laura is a former shield agent. She doesn't sound scared or nervous about the work that Clint has to do. Also, she's like his "woman in a chair" helping him with information.

Edit: and also it is possible that Eleanor is partnering with Uncle. Sounding unafraid does not make it so; people can act brave but petrified inside. We are yet to know much about Elenor and hope we find out more in the last two episodes.
So, when the lady said her bag is embroidered with the name "Bombshell", I Googled it out of curiosity and found this: Bombshell is a notorious mutant criminal who works for organizations such as HYDRA and the faction she is officially a member of which is Kingpin's Gang. She is the mother of Baby Bombshell.
there's a theory circling that maybe Eleanor called Valentina and that's how Yelena shows up here, tying back to the post-credit scene in Black Widow. i'm inclined to believe it.
You guys brought up a good point: Clint thinks someone hired a Black Widow, which means he NEVER knew about Yelena from Nat, OR he did but was never told what she looks like. Nat was still keeping secrets from him.
I’m pretty sure he never knew about her they even mention her having no family in endgame.
@@Cream-2128 When Val told Yelena Clint was her sister’s murderer, she for sure didn’t know who he was to Nat. And now we’ve seen him react to her as just a Black Widow assassin. I’m telling ya, Nat obviously didn’t say shit about them to each other…but she didn’t get the chance to, either. This is kind of, in a roundabout way, her fault.💁🏻♀️
@@kristi4113 I mean infinity war and end game happen right after probably didn’t have much of a chance to
@@Cream-2128 I agree with you. She left her movie to go break everyone out of The Raft with Steve, went on the run then Thanos and Company showed up. Clint was under house arrest on his farm, so she couldn’t contact him because you know General Ross would have been expecting her to try.
Remember that the Countessa did not say that Clint had killed Natasha, she said that he was "responsible for her death."
My current theory... the Rolex was a gift from Natasha to Clint. The tracking chip allowed her to always find him should he get into trouble. Clint will use that as evidence they were friends. As for why the Tracksuit Mafia were after the watch... they could get someone to hack the tracking data to prove that Clint is Ronin.
I recognized Yelena because that suit is from the comics, when she was a Thunderbolt.
Part of me thought it was Daredevil, but so much happier when it was Yelena!!!
Also fun fact, Grills is part of the Hawkeye storyline. Hawkeyes homie..
Yelena jumping off the building was a total Poser moment! I really enjoyed the episode until the end and now I'm depressed. Have to wait another week. The producer said Ep.5 is probably her favorite and I want to know why! Oh and it totally makes sense now why Hawkeye's wife is so understanding. She's in cahoots! She's more involved than we've ever known!
13:00 was an homage to Natasha’s death scene so sad
Btw according to the hawkeye producers, episode 5 will apparently break the internet. Were already expecting kingpin, my thought is charlie cox as daredevil. That will break the internet.
Love this reaction to this awesome episode! Your channel is the reason I started to watch/enjoy reaction channels!
14:34 Dustin said, "give the Rolex first." That's what I thought too when Clint was pushing Kate away. Lol. Yelena's appearance sent chills to my spine. Such a great episode, and love the reaction!
They did a great job of showing that Kate has tons of skills but not real world application of those skills. Loving the show so much! Can't wait for next week
I did notice the honeycomb mug in the sense that I thought it was really cool but I didn't even think about the 'hex' connection lol.
In love with Wendy's sweater, the colors go so well 😍😍😍
Tin hat theory… with Laura being able to run to down the name of a shell company, the fluent language change, the fact that Fury set this up… could Laura Barton be a retired Bobbi Morse aka Mockingbird? I mean, I love Adriane Padelicki from Agents of SHIELD and what she did but…
I love the Yelena of it all… and that fight on the roof was so good.
I don’t think Laura can be Bobby because of AOS. Bobby retired with Hunter. Unless that’s a parallel universe or a different universe or soemthing
I simp heavily for Kate but damn she was pissing me all the way off this episode
hearing the Vormir theme as Kate hangs over really made me emotional. and watching Yelena's moves, i kept thinking of when she told Natasha, "such a poser", iChuckle.
Yelena made a clear effort to get Kate safely out of the battle by attaching the tether before she chucked her off the roof. That makes me think the person Kate's mom was desperate to call her back was Val. Which of course makes her the one that paid Val to get rid of Clint in the first place. The questions are, who is Kate's mom exactly and does Clint know who she is?
Hypothesis: Val contracted Yelena to kill Clint because Eleanor paid for it in the first place! Her daughter was "Obsessed" With Clint, and removing him from the world removes a "Bad Influence" on her daughter! If she is connected to "Uncle" (a certain "King" of the underworld) it would give her the money and connections to hire a Black Widow....maybe? (Why is Yelena taking contracts on people?)
This might be the best episode of a Marvel TV show I’ve seen yet. The action, the heart, the emotion, all topped off with that badass final fight and Yelena reveal. Couldn’t be happier with how this show is going
Uff that exit from Yelena 😍
Someone did kind of "hire" Yelena, though... or at least tasked Valentina's organization with this job. Valentina showed up with a dossier wanting her to go after Clint. It wasn't some random whim.
Did Yelena stare down Kate the same way Vi stared down the knife wielding punk in Arcane?
Not deaf or hard of hearing but from what I've read not using hearing aids is a thing. There's a great article in Salon about what Hawkeye was getting right and what it could still improve on. Clint turning off his hearing aid was on the list that impressed the writer. Navigating life while wearing a hearing aid can be very tiring because of how they work.
Notice that end the end Kate didn't take the shot on Yelena same as Clint and Natasha.....loved this episode
Yelena !!!!!! She is badass . Cant wait to see her in further eps ! 😭😭😭 Thank you Marvel 😭♥️btw echo is grt character too
Maya vs Kate vs Yelena vs Hawkeye was the fight I did not know I needed!! 🤭 That was 🔥 And Yelena showing up earlier than I expected was a treat!
My craziest off the wall theory is, what if Kate's mom took advantage of all the chaos of the battle in New York to kill her husband. She seemed pretty cold during the scenes in that time. Also, super slight chance here, what if she's a black widow? Kate could have been a child from a previous marriage, she marries him while Kate is too young to remember, and they never tell her. In the Black Widow movie, it showed that they were distributed around the world in key positions. Now that her husband is gone, she's in charge of a security company with what appears to be pretty far reaching resources. Also, look at how Armand reacted to her. He hated her, maybe he had an inkling that she was dangerous.
Another theory that doesn't really rely on the above is, Kate's mom runs a security agency. I wonder if they hand't the security for the mystery boss that heads the organized crime operation Kate and Clint have butted heads with. Look at the security system in that apartment. Wonder if mommy dearests company was monitoring it. Kate gummied up the strobes, but I'm pretty sure I saw a camera on the wall. Maybe her mom will see her in action on video.
What a great episode and reaction.
Kate’s mom is probably calling Contessa aka Madame Hydra.
I'm actually worried for Clint now. They're making it feel more and more like he's gonna sacrifice himself for Kate.
Omg wait that's so sad. I thought he would just retire and give the hawkeye mantle to kate
That is too sad an ending right before Christmas though…but valid point
I swear, Im gonna sue Marvel if Clint didnt get a chance to come in his family before christmas
I doubt it. But that tension is selling the series to the cynical.
As a dual hearing aid wearer... It is peaceful to kinda x out sound at your disposal. I remember when I first got my hearing aids I was pissed that the world was so loud. Idk how yall do it. I only wear my hearing aids for "important stuff".
The rumor going around is that Lara (Clint’s wife) IS the newly re-cast Mockingbird and the watch was her’s back In the day when Clint and Lara were out in the field together.
Okay but I need to know where you got your sweater!!
Since Black Widow came out, I had some questions about VAl. The main one being how she knew certain details that should have been inaccessible to her, which, to me tells me there is a mole. I think that mole is Laura Barton. Val knew two things that should have not been known, the status of Caps shield, and that Clint killed Nat, which obviously he didn't, but there is only two people who were witness to Nats death, Clint and Red Skull. However, Clint would have confided in Laura the events on Vormir. Now that Laura is being portrayed to have skill beyond raising children, how did she have such quick access to who was running the Track Suit Mafia?
Clint Barton's end in this series has always been a problem because of his family, however, if it turns out that Laura is a double agent, his death could lead to far more story lines than him just retiring into the sunset.
Wendy and Dustin I figured out after watching this episode that it was Kate's mom who called Val and told her she needed a favor and if there was to go after Clint , remember after she talked to Clint Kate's mom called somebody and said she needed a favor and that person was Val who told Yelena the her next assignment was Clint and the only way that she knew yelena would do it was by telling her that Clint was the one who killed Natasha
Oh ssshi~. I spilled popcorn all over the couch watching this episode when Yelena showed up. 😄🍿
Kate's mother in the episode was calling Yelena so she could take out Clint.
I think no, because remember...Val is the one who recruit Yelena tu assassinate Clint, maybe Val is the one who Eleanor called
Clint will never forget the sacrifice Natasha made for him, and now I don't know how he will take it from Yelena that she is the new Black Widow!😱😱🏹🏹❤❤
Yelena was hired, she wasn't trying to kill Clint on her own. She works for Val,. Val gave her the Clint mission from the Black Widow post-credit scene and told her that he is responsible for her sister's death and only then did she come for him
I saw the episode this morning before going to work . Wow yelena i thought she was going to come like in episode 5 . This episode is great.
Eleanor 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 shady 👏🏽
It's interesting that everyone in the world seems to know that Natasha died, but they don't know how.
Yelena was given the assignment by Val to kill clint.
Judging by the end credits of Shang shi, I'm surprised Clint couldn't ask Bruce or someone at wherever they situated to atleast monitor the stolen thing from the compound lol
What if she meets Clint's son Nathaniel and he says I was named after Aunt Natasha.
get the tissue box ready if that moment happens 😭
Yelena is not hunting Clint on her own she was given the Mission at the end of Black Widow.
Clint is wearing the meme that he looks like grumpy cat
This series has become the best of all the Disney+ MCU shows.
Kingpin has got to show up in the finale I have beeen this excited since Kang
I was literally predicting before episode permied i was knowing for a fact that the reason why the episode will blow our mind is because Florence Pugh's black widow is coming
And before The mask was off that the person in the suit was the black widow (Florence Pugh) and i was right
Where can I get that sweater???
Well, technically Yelena WAS hired… on what looks like a long term contract. Clint was her assigned target this time. Bet she thinks she’s one of the good guys, which was why Kate wasn’t a target as well. No collateral damage.
I am wondering how anyone knows Natasha didn’t just die in Thanos’s attack on the compound. How much did the Avengers reveal?
Why am I imagining Scott on the talk show circuit?
Yelena's soft spot for Kate is one of the fandom's favorite things about this show. From the beginning, it's evident that Yelena doesn't plan to kill Kate, and it's only trying to get her out of her way. This proves that the Black Widow is not a villain, but a grieving person trying to avenge her sister's death
just as Clint and Kates partnership is blossoming YELENA COMES BACK
I always thought Yelena was confirmed to shown up in the Hawkeye show, and wasn't she working for Val as the person who hired her to go after Clint?
Does anyone know how Clint realized that Yelena was a black widow and does he know her somehow?
Specifically? It looks like she's using Black Widow tech. She's using moves that are reminiscing of Natasha and it's also possible he just knows her. He introduced his family to Natasha, it wouldn't be a stretch to assume Natasha shared in return.
I think the fact that Clint named his youngest after Natasha is enough to yelena that they were basically family
This episode was really good! I was so excited to Yelena! The next 2 episodes are going to be awesome! And yes I think that Elenor is definitely hiding something…. She is very suspicious… also that Hawkeye merch is really cool!
Natasha little to no opportunity to tell Clint about Yelena…. The events of Black Widow happen after the events of Civil War, so Clint was under house arrest from before the time she connected with Yelena up until his family was snapped and he turned Ronin, and Natasha was on the run and in hiding that whole time. It’s possible they could have secretly met up or talked on the phone during this time, but I think it would have been too dangerous for Natasha so they likely wouldn’t have risked it.
Although thinking about timing I think I just found a very minor plot hole…. Scott Lang was released from house arrest some time before Infinity War, while Clint was not. Maybe he had a longer sentence?
Make no mistake ... Yelena was hired. She was just paid with a silver tongue instead of cash.
Before I saw the Widows Bite gauntlets I knew it was Yelena, only a Black Widow fights like that, and this one looked like she wanted to not just kill but DESTROY Clint.
Also after seeing Kate and Clint having their own Christmas party I am now completely sold on them as partners.
Elanore is, in my mind, Madame Mask
I wonder if Laura was an Agent of Shield
Kate and Yelena are going to become BESTIES!!!😎
i hope they uncover that jack and clint know each other
why she bring up natasha like that?
i like how they set up yelenas intro
i wonder if the mom knows val
damn laura coming through with info she has to be mockingbird
I better see king pin in the finale
To correct a point, yelena is not going after Clint on her own. Yes it's personal but people seem to forget Val sent yelena after clint. The real plot point is not about the reason Clint is fighting yelena, the real question is why does Val want Clint dead.
She was hired!!!! She isn't doing it on her own
Thoughts On Hawkeye - Episode 4
Based on the phone conversation between Clint and his wife, Laura - the vintage Rolex belonged to her.
It has sentimental value as he carried it with him after The Blip.
He lost it in the Avengers Compound rubble after Thanos’ ship bombed it toward the end of “Avengers: Endgame”.
They both thought it was destroyed in the aftermath.
It has a tracking beacon installed in it as it emitted its location signal.
The ladies timepiece must be uniquely connected to Laura as it would out her true identity to whomever she had originally pledged her allegiance.
She even has the designated tracking software to independently locate its whereabouts.
My theory is that she is an-ex espionage operative; that’s how she knows Natasha Romanoff so well, speaks fluent German and even understood their tactical playbook - such as ‘Catch and Release’.
She must have absconded to evade her former employers before seeking asylum through Nick Fury and SHIELD.
Early on, Eleanor asked Kate to organize their Bishop Holiday Party.
While with the LARPers, she requested them to make 2 costumes of her own design.
It means that we will see Kate and Clint dressed up in their comics-accurate purple getup in the next Episode attending her Office Christmas Party.
Right after Clint left the Bishop’s penthouse, Eleanor called someone and left a voicemail message: asking him/her to callback as it was urgent.
My theory is that the call was meant for Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine @ Val portray by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
The next evening when Kate broke into Maya’s home, Yelena Belova was waiting to ambush Clint on the rooftop as directed by her handler.
I’m predicting that Maya’s adopted father: Uncle Wilson Fisk @ Kingpin shall make his cameo in Episode 5.
As head of New York’s criminal underworld, I believe that Bishop Securities, Sloan Ltd and the Tracksuit Mafia are ultimately answerable to him.
My guess is that Avengers Tower was bought by Vincent D’Onofrio’s Wilson Grant Fisk @ Kingpin / Uncle and shall be renamed as Fisk Tower
Is that the watch that had the repulsor ray built into it? Stark used it in the Captain Am movie. Or it's just one of the many watches he owned, and they all do different things. Maybe it has a recording of what the Avengers did to bring everyone back and when they find it. Yelena will get to know how Natasha died. Now who does Hawkeye think hired Yelena? Kingpin doesn't like attention, so is he removing Maya too? Who does Maya think Yelena is? Does Kate even realize how dangerous the Black widows are? She's way out of her league and got thrown off a roof. Time to try to quietly back out of this situation. She won't and she still has the watch. Why didn't Yelena just shoot him. Seems like she was trying to figure something out not just get a killing revenge. How many people would actually know the details of Natasha's death? Hawkeye never said it in the movies. Maya has info on Hawkeye's private life. She will go after them. But it seems like Laura has a few tricks up her sleeves too. The language switch may be a hint of who she is or was. She was very friendly with Natasha, Hmmm
Red Skull can explain Natasha’s sacrifice to Yelena but he’s stuck on Vormir…
I think Jack isn't the CEO... I'm thinking it's the uncle. They have the same name, technically...
Was Yelena wearing the same black suit Spider-Man was in Far From Home
I hope we get to see flashbacks of Hawkeye’s wife as an agent and how that watch is tied to her former life as an agent.
HD 1080p
Better Buckle up.. Cause I saw that Episode 5 will blow up the Internet.. 😬👀 So i can figure on what's gonna happen! If he shows up im gonna freak out!!!
So did Jack really not recognize Clint? Or was he just covering?
where is wendy's notebook? lol
