Falcon & The Winter Soldier: 10 Biggest Takeaways From Episode 3
4. The World Sees The Winter Soldier Again
After decades of working as HYDRA's greatest ever assassin, Bucky Barnes was cured once and for all in Wakanda. Once Shuri was able to see what was going on inside his head, she was able to get rid of the Winter Soldier, allowing Bucky to return to something of a normal life.
This was confirmed absolutely when Zemo began reciting the words that once turned Bucky's mind inside out, only for him to be completely unaffected. Though his whereabouts are currently unknown to the world, and he received a pardon from the President himself, Bucky's life may be about to turn upside down again.
In order to get close to Selby in Madripoor, he was forced to pretend to be the Winter Soldier once more, acting on the instructions of Zemo for show only. However, as he beat up anything that moved in the night club, he gained an audience of onlookers recording everything on their phones.
This could easily lead to the public, and even the US government, believing that Barnes is not truly cured or reformed, and thus not capable of living a civilian life in Brooklyn anymore. At the very least, it is proof that he is working with Zemo, someone he just broke out of jail. Either way, things surely won't end well for Bucky after this.
