Hawkeye is really heating up in this week’s installment! In “Partners, Am I Right?,” Clint and Kate unravel more of the conspiracy, Jack tries to make amends and then there’s a certain someone…
Coffee with the Bishops | Picking up where last week left off, Clint (Jeremy Renner) is being held up at sword point by Jack (Tony Dalton), until Eleanor (Vera Farmiga) walks in and recognizes him and Jack puts the sword down and plays it cool. When Kate (Hailee Steinfeld) walks in, Eleanor and Jack demand answers and Clint covers by telling them that Kate is helping him with a case.
Eleanor privately tells Clint as he leaves that Kate isn’t a hero and that she could end up like Natasha Romanoff. Ouch! As Clint leaves, he snags the Ronin sword and texts Laura (Linda Cardellini) to look up the subsidiary company on Jack’s laptop.

A Bishop Christmas | Laura tells Clint that the company is not only run by Jack but has ties to the Tracksuit Mafia. She also brings up the missing watch from Avengers Compound and Clint says he can track it. Jack tries to make amends with Kate, but she returns to Clint and is convinced that Jack is still the problem.
he also has a makeshift holiday party for him, which gets him emotional when he reveals to her that he lost his family during the Blip. She uses this information to deduce that he is Ronin, which Clint is unpleasantly reminded of.
Incursion | Clint tracks down Kazi (Fra Fee), Maya’s right-hand man, and tells him that her obsession with getting Ronin will get her killed. After getting a text from Laura about the watch’s location, Clint and Kate head to an apartment and Kate sneaks in and retrieves the watch, which Clint says belongs to someone whose cover is intact.

Kate also finds notes on the Barton family as Maya (Alaqua Cox) arrives and fights Kate, just as a masked figure fights Clint on the rooftop. Kate gets over to Clint’s rooftop, but so does Maya and the four of them fight it out. Kate fires an arrow that creates a flash bomb and disorients Maya and the masked figure, who removes the mask- and reveals herself as Yelena (Florence Pugh)!!!!
Maya and Yelena both get away, but Clint tells Kate that she needs to stay out of this now that an assassin is involved. He angrily tells her that they are not partners and leaves her there.
