The hosts dig into this with appropriate reverence for the diabolical ingenuity of it: Lola Visual Effects, the same team behind Skinny Steve in The First Avenger, pulled off what was at the time a genuinely novel trick. It holds up. Mostly. Keep your eyes off the lips.\nPeggy's neurological decline isn't pathos furniture. She forgets Steve, re-recognizes him, and then forgets him again, all in a span of seconds. Steve has to absorb that and then gently reset, because this is, very obviously, not the first time.

Nick Fury discovers there's a SHIELD-branded thumb drive he cannot access because “another him” encrypted it against “real-him” — a very specific kind of institutional paranoia that only makes sense when you think about it for more than four seconds.

Their final exchange is ... well ...  “ominous collegiality.” Fury walks out.
