After a week of speculation, the latest episode ofHawkeye,titled “Partners, Am I Right?”

didn’t reveal the identity of Maya’s mysterious uncle, a.k.a.

“the big guy.”

In other words, the installment didn’t featurea certain actor from the Marvel-Netflix shows.

(How Kate gets there, stalling while crossing a zip line, is admittedly hilarious.)

Seeing Pugh’s face while fighting Clint from the beginning would’ve made the entire sequence more interesting.

But here’s the thing, “Partner” wasn’t just about this fight and Pugh’s guest-appearance.

Thankfully, that wasn’t the case, and what ensues is far funnier.

That’s not the only piece of info we gain from their exchange though.

What transpires is yet another delightful sequence that fleshes out Kate and Clint’s dynamic.

Jeremy Renner brings a lot of pathos to the entire scene.

That also came through in Kate’s reaction.

Clint has truly started to care for Kate.

Of course, we have two episodes left and know she won’t stay out of the action.
