#The Hawkeye Easter Eggs You Might Have Missed In Episode 5

Clint goes to hang with Grills (Clayton English) and they get pizza! (I feel like everyone in this series should be taking fiber pills or something. That is a lot of cheese and bread.) Clint asks Grills (who is super great and I hope we see more of him) to watch Pizza Dog while he heads back to a hotel. 

May I just state my love for Pizza Dog again? In case you’re wondering, the actor doggie’s name is Jolt. He has his own Instagram account and I demand that you pause here and go follow him. 

In the comics, Clint and Grills live in the same building, and something very bad happens to Grills involving Kazi. Do not let this happen! I demand it! Grills tells Clint that Missy (Adele Drahos) finished the costumes for him and Kate, and we know they wear them at some point in the finale. Can Missy make me one of those? I can’t sew so I suck at cosplay. 

Clint takes on the mantle of the Ronin again and shoots an arrow into the front windshield of a moving truck with some of the Tracksuit Mafia with a message for Maya. (They’re playing the Run-D.M.C. song that gets stuck in my head every Christmas. Hey, it’s better than Mariah Carey!) They’re talking about their tracksuit heroes; Tony Stark, the Royal Tenenbaums, and hey, even Run-D.M.C. wear tracksuits! 

They’re meeting up at Fat Man Used Cars (another Kingpin reference, which will pay off this time). Before that, however, Clint calls Laura. He tells her that they’re tracking the Barton family and that it has to end tonight, one way or the other, or the “big guy” will get involved. Another one! She tells him that she understands. In fact, she says, “And know that I’ll always understand … more than anyone else ever could.” Mockingbird? Is that you? We do know that Clint was married to Mockingbird in the comics. That watch probably has the info about her on it. I mean, with only one episode to go, it would be odd if they try to introduce someone else.

Clint takes everyone out at Fat Man Used Cars and fights Maya/Echo. He tells her that he was here the night her father died and that he was tipped off by an informant who worked for her boss. (Kazi?) He tries to explain that they’re both weapons and that they’ve both been used. In fact, after this scene, the word “Used” is the only part of the “Fat Man Used Cars” that you see. So, who used Clint? Who used Maya? It was Kingpin, obviously. Her boss. They don’t say his name, but this is likely the setup for the “Echo” series.

Maya isn’t happy with Kazi, who wasn’t at the meeting that night. Was he involved in her father’s death? Was he the informant? I can’t completely get a read on him. He doesn’t make it through the Matt Fraction run, but he’s a good actor, and I’d be surprised if he doesn’t make it here. 

Kate saves Clint with her arrow. Of course, she does.
