The Falcon and The Winter Soldier Episode 2 Spoilers
At the end of the first episode, we see the crowning of a new Captain America. The developments stand to change the face of the MCU as the lynchpin of the Avengers undergoes a massive transformation. John Walker becomes the new Captain America. In the comics, he is a superhero in his own right and goes by the name U.S. Agent. The second episode will probably deal with his backstory and why he has been selected as the next Captain America. Moreover, the comics hint at his dark past as the villain, Super-Patriot. Maybe we can speculate that he has a hidden link with either the LAF or the Flag-Smashers.
Moreover, we stand to gain intel about the Flag-Smashers and its leader, who showcases superhuman abilities. Do they have any connecting links with Hydra? Or are they a terrorist organization hell-bent on usurping peace on Earth? We will probably have some of these answers as the second episode rolls on. Also, Bucky ignores Sam’s messages, and it remains to be seen how the two Avengers unite. Colonel Rhodes might be an important figure in further developments as he and Sam Wilson share the same sentiment regarding Captain America’s legacy.

Sam Wilson prepares to hand over Captain America’s vibranium shield to the authorities. Meanwhile, a terrorist organization called the LAF has hijacked a plane with Captain Vasant on board. Wilson rescues Vasant after a fierce battle with the adversaries. However, the leader of the LAF escapes from Wilson’s clutches. He further gets to know about another terrorist organization called the Flag-Smashers, who want to erase the boundaries of nations and unite the world through force.
Bucky Barnes is living a monitored life as he is granted a pardon for his past deeds (committed as the Winter Soldier). He has to make amends for his actions by helping the authorities apprehend Hydra operatives, who are still functioning within their power. Bucky maintains a diary with a list of these names. Moreover, he doesn’t respond to Wilson’s messages. His past puts a heavy burden on his mind, and he has to attend counseling sessions as a form of regulation.

However, his absence of five years creates financial anomalies that prevent him from receiving a bank loan.
