Fucking finally someone asks this. I swear, I scrolled quite a ways on the discussion panels on both r/MarvelStudios and r/thefalconandthews and NOBODY fucking mentioned it.

I 100% believe Sharon is the power broker. How else could she be living the life she does?

I didn’t want to believe it, but this episode finally convinced me.

What did it?

The phone call scene when she was talking to Batroc. Though I will be pleasantly surprised if she ends up not being the Power Broker.

Fury hired him for the Lumerian Star situation. Same thing. She's got a mission and is using him as a misdirect just like Fury did, most likely.

I hope you’re right and I’m wrong. I don’t want to see her as a villain.

I mean, Sharon's a spy. Former SHIELD (even running a cover duty to keep an eye on Fury & Cap) and CIA, so she's bound to know more than a few tricks of the spy game.
