Interlude: An executive at the Coalition for an Upstanding America has the ideal of asking Captain America to endorse their organization….
Steve is afraid to go home because he can’t face Bernie; she sees him and runs out to meet him. They reaffirm their love for one another but are interrupted by Gail Runciter calling him to a meeting with "the boss."

The lights come on, revealing his enemies to be the new Baron Zemo and Arnim Zola….
