This episode was packed heavily with symbols, and the power that comes with it, the legacy of them.
After all, it wasn't John Walker killing someone in cold blood what people saw, it was Captain America killing someone in cold blood.
I felt every character in this episode started to reflect on the power that the Captain America mantle brings, the legacy of it, and the significance of who should be bestowed with such a powerful symbol, as Doctor Erskine made Steve Rogers promise him many years ago that he would be "Not a perfect soldier, but a good man."
Elsewhere, the dice have been cast, and the final battle between the GRC and the Flag-Smashers is nearing its inevitable catharsis, and the lines have not been drawn that clear to unequivocally say who the bad guys really are.
The end is nigh.
