Hawkeye season 1 episode 2, titled "Hide and Seek," follows the aftermath of the previous episode where Clint Barton and Kate Bishop stumbled upon a black market arms deal. Though they tried to stop it, the bad guys got away with the suit case seemingly containing chemicals that could build a powerful explosive.
In "Hide and Seek," Clint is still recovering from injuries sustained during the arms deal while he mentors Kate on being a better superhero. The two take a trip to a safe house where Clint has stored his suit from the Avengers' battle against Thanos. There, he plans to retrieve his weapon to help him take down the bad guys.
Both Kate and Clint's pasts come into play in this episode, with Kate struggling to come to terms with her wealthy upbringing and Clint grappling with his time as Ronin. The two also face conflict with the Tracksuit Mafia, a street gang that has been selling stolen goods at the black market.
However, the episode is not all about action and fighting. There are several humorous moments between Kate and Clint as they bond over pizza and try to avoid detection from the Tracksuit Mafia. The dynamic between the two characters is further explored, with Clint questioning whether Kate is ready to become a superhero while Kate tries her best to prove herself.
"Hide and Seek" is an enjoyable episode that offers a good balance of action and character development. It sets up a promising arc for the rest of the season, especially as more is revealed about the black market arms deal and the villains behind it. It's definitely a must-watch for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
