When these two former allies clash, can Steve somehow get through to Bucky and help him overcome his programming? And if so, can the Winter Soldier find a new place in the world after all he's done? Perhaps his second chance can be an opportunity to help others find salvation! Plus: The Winter Soldier clashes with S.H.I.E.L.D. in a high-octane flashback tale from the Cold War's peak!
