Okay one last thing about that scene in Agent Carter and then I will shut up about it because after all it was only one scene I think if it had not ended the pilot episode it wouldn't have left such an impression on me. I came up with three solutions that would have made that scene work for me, the first two would allow her to do exactly what she did in the show without coming off as unhinged and the last one would show her using her brains and skills as a secret agent to put the smug bastard in his place.

First that could have made the guy a cop or someone who was connected to say the mayor's office or something to make it clear that reporting what he did was not an option. Second they could have showed the waitress trying to report what he did and the lazy cops not doing a thing to make it clear this was a situation where there were no other options.

Third earlier in the episode have Carter use a spy camera to take pictures of what the guy was doing and maybe use a mini tape recorder to tape the audio of what he had done and then have her go up to the jerk and have her ask him what his wife would make of those. Remember back then Divorce was a huge scandal so he would lost standing in the community as well as money so it is highly unlikely he would ever come back there and with the photos in Carter's hands she would have a constant thread that would make sure he never came back.

Any way that is my two cents and I am done with that scene. Sorry if I upset anyone, that was not my intent.
