While the recent episode touched many interesting plot lines, it has kept many things mysterious. Here are all the theories that might get answered in Episode 4 of the Disney+ series.

Is Sharon Carter planning something diabolical?

The introduction of Sharon Carter made everyone excited and fans are hoping to see her make things a little more interesting. Bucky, Sam, and Zemo meet her in Madripoor for some information. The conversation ends with Bucky, Sam and Zemo escaping Madripoor. At the time, Sharon can be seen telling one of her assistants that they need to deal with “two problems.” Fans believe that these problems could be Bucky and Sam, Flag Smashers, or Power Broker.

It seems we might see Sharon getting out of Madripoor and return to the US. It will be interesting to see how she adapts to the new location and how she manages to do her work without getting noticed.

Before that, she might have some unfinished business to handle.

Real Identity of Power Broker

One of the most intriguing parts of Episode 3 was getting to know about the Power Broker. The recent episode mentions the character several times but it doesn’t give any hints about his identity. According to Marvel Comics, the authoritative alias belongs to Curtiss Jackson. It is also the name of an organization headed by Jackson. Initially headed up by Curtiss Jackson, Power Broker developed a device that could give people superpowers.

According to the recent episode, the frontrunner in the debate over Power Broker’s identity is Sharon Carter. For starters, we have already learned that Sharon is leading a new life of crime and that she is not just some petty thug.

Meanwhile, speaking about the show, Derek Kolstad, writer of the series, revealed that some of the earliest MCU characters might be returning for the series. So, it is possible that one of them might be the Power Broker.

Do Flag Smashers have more Super Soldier Serum in their possession? 

Fans finally have an idea about how Flag-Smashers got the hold of Super Soldier Serum. Episode 3 reveals that Karli Morgenthau (Erin Kellyman) and her crew stole all 20 vials of Dr. Wilfred Nagel's version of the super-soldier serum. Karli stole the vials to create Flag-Smashers. However, it is yet to be seen if the group has used all the vials that they took from Nagel’s possession. After hearing that Karli has all the vials, Power Broker is now on the hunt to catch Karli because he doesn’t have anyone to make more serum. We believe the Power Broker will now do everything and anything to have the vials back.
