===October===
====13th====
*At Globe Theatre, Loki performs , using Yorick as a prop. His performance earns boos from his brother, Prince Thor, who wants to throw rotten cabbages. Suddenly, a rift opens up in the sky. Everyone runs, but Loki does not see the danger and is swept up off his feet. Nick Fury tells Captain Carter to help. She does and is able to save Loki by lassoing him.In What If... The Avengers Assembled in 1602?, Loki is shown performing in Hamlet, which was written in 1602. The earliest known performance of Hamlet was on July 26, 1602, meaning the episode can be set any time between then and December 31, 1602. Based on this, it can be approximated that the episode spans October 13-15, 1602. It is said in What If... The Avengers Assembled in 1602? that Peggy Carter had been in the Forerunner Steve Rogers universe for "weeks" since she was taken in What If... Captain Carter Fought the HYDRA Stomper? A weighted calculation places this scene on September 8, 1602.
*Suddenly, the rift gets stronger, sweeping up Queen Hela this time. Carter uses a rope and jumps up to her. As Hela goes into the rift, Carter catches her, but the pull is too strong. Hela soon loses her grip and is sucked into the rift. Carter and the Scepter fall to the ground as Thor calls out to his sister.
*Chase of Peggy Carter: Although grieving, Thor is made king as everyone bows to him. As his first act, Thor tells the Einherjar to capture Carter as he believes she has failed in her job that she was summoned to do. Carter grabs Yorick from Loki and uses it as a weapon to make her escape. Carter takes care of the Einherjar and runs away. Sir Harold Hogan tries to turn into Freak, but Thor stops him, saying to summon Wanda-Merlin.
*Thor sits on his throne and mourns, allowing his guards to continue to chase.
*Chase of Peggy Carter:
**As Carter runs, The Watcher narrates about how some universes are meant to die, despite Carter being summoned to stop that from happening. She hides behind a chimney and watches the Einherjar try to track her. However, she cannot help but hear The Watcher's narration, annoying her. Uatu gets confused that she can hear him.
**The Watcher tells Carter that she should not be there and she has no idea what she is up against. To The Watcher's surprise, Carter explains it perfectly: the 17th century and 21st century are stuck together, causing rifts. Uatu holds out his hand, telling Carter he is taking her home. However, Carter refuses, wanting to save the universe. Uatu tells her that he watches universes die everyday, but Carter does not want that to happen to this one.
**In the palace, Sir Nick Fury tells King Thor about how the rifts are growing in number and strength, therefore places like Nebula's Observatory, Isle of Ego and Groot Groves have been destroyed. Sir Hogan and King Thor mourn the loss of Groot Groves.
**Thor reaffirms that he wants Carter caught. However, Wanda-Merlin speaks up, saying how she knows Carter is not the problem and still thinks she is the key to their survival along with another person from the future. This person is a forerunner who is caught in time and unaware that their existence means the destruction of the universe.
**Hogan asks where they could find the forerunner, but Maximoff says that answer is beyond her capablities. Sir Fury then says that they have their mission, with his voice directed towards Carter, who is eavesdropping through the window. Thor asks who he is speaking too, but Fury says it is to no one.
*Thor is gifted a Vibranium sword called the All-Father from King T'Challa.
====14th====
*Captain Carter arrives at Tony Stark's barn and wakes him up by splashing him with a pale of water. The two then examine the green dust on Yorick, seeing that it is radioactive. Stark hears this word and gets excited as he believes it to be fun made up words, not understanding what they mean.
*As they hear a rift opening outside, Carter talks about how she needs to find the forerunner, who would have been the first person displaced to 1602. Stark claims he could track that if he had magic or a lot of energy. Stark says that the Scepter could do this, but Carter knows Thor would make it hard for her to obtain. Stark suggests hiring thieves.
*In a royal carriage across the countryside, Loki talks to women about a new play written by when an arrow is suddenly shot in front of the carriage. The Avengers, led by Rogers Hood, then ambush the carriage. While the team steals the coins and desserts, Loki surrenders.
*Suddenly, Carter arrives, asking if there is anything to drink. Rogers Hood immediately recognizes Carter and walks to her, astonished to see his Maid Margaret Carter once again. Carter remarks at how she is dead in this universe.
*As Carter and Rogers are distracted, Loki has his driver escape. Carter pushes Rogers out of the way then asks if there is a place they can talk. Meanwhile, Scott Lang walks over, eating eclairs.
*Rogers tells Carter about Bruce Banner and Hulk.
*At a treehouse restaurant, Lang drinks with the customers as Carter tells Rogers she needs him to steal the Scepter. Rogers is just amazed that Carter has not been driven mad by being stuck in a foreign world. He then asks if her world has a Steve Rogers. Carter confirms, but does not want to talk about him. Carter asks for help despite not being Rogers' Carter. Rogers tells her that his Carter would want to do the same.
*Chase of Captain Carter:
**Suddenly, a Royal Yellowjacket lands on Captain Carter's mug, confusing her. Suddenly, the rest of the yellowjackets fly through the windows to attack. Ant-Man looks outside to see Sir Harold Hogan with the Einherjar, saying Thor wants Carter alive, but the rest can be killed.
**The group fight the yellowjackets as Rogers Hood and Carter share the shield. They share a look before Rogers allows Carter to use his shield to get a mighty jump to swipe at more yellowjackets. Meanwhile, Winter Soldier shoots at Hogan and his troops, earning a warning from Rogers not to make Hogan mad.
**Hogan orders the Einherjar to fire, forcing Barnes to take cover. Suddenly, the yellowjackets stop and retreat, confusing the team. Their confusion is answered when the Destroyer marches forward and shoots its beams at the treehouse, destroying it. When the dust settles, Hogan tells Carter to surrender. Carter turns to Rogers, telling him to leave while she buys time. Rogers refuses to leave Carter, but she insists.
**Meanwhile, a shrunken Ant-Man flies towards Destroyer and gains his attention before flying in the way of the Einherjar, making Destroyer accidentally shoot its own people. Carter then jumps down and temporarily disposes of Destroyer before it gets back up and shoots Carter. While blocking the attack, Carter pleads to Hogan to allow her to save the universe, but Hogan does not listen.
**Carter then says that in her world, Happy Hogan, her, and Tony Stark are friends. Hogan then has Destroyer stop, saying that him being friends with Stark would be a sight to see. He then has the Einherjar point their guns at Carter, forcing her to surrender.
*Escape from the Tower of London:
**At the prison, the Executioner, Red Skull, sharpens his axe. While incarcerated, a defeated Carter asks Uatu if he is watching. Uatu says he always is and asks if she wants to go home. Carter says no once again until she can locate the forerunner. She asks The Watcher if he knows who it is, but Uatu says he is unable to see what unfolds when a universe is dying.
**The Watcher then brings up how even if she locates the Forerunner, then maybe it could be the thing that destroys the universe all along, or maybe she gets stuck when the universe resets. Carter is tired of hearing it and cuts Uatu off. Carter then snaps her shackles and breaks through her prison door.
**Carter then locates a vaulted prison and peeks through saying that she needs the man in the iron mask that she had heard of. The prisoner, Bruce Banner, tells her to leave. Carter apologizes for what she is about to do and calls the Einherjar over. They shoot at the door, forcing Banner to transform into the Hulk. Carter then jumps on Hulk's back as they escape.
*Tony Stark drinks heavily and finishes his invention.
====15th====
*Tony Stark serves Bruce Banner grain alcohol, angering the latter that he gave it to him at sunrise. Stark then unveils his creation: a device that could reveal the Forerunner and send them back to where they came from, which would happen once they get the Scepter. Rogers Hood arrives with his team, having wrestled Captain Carter's Shield from some guards. They then set up a plan to infiltrate the next court session.
*Theft of the Scepter:
**At the court session, Loki continues to talk about his play with the women, which is starting to annoy them. Once King Thor is announced, a rift opens up in the middle of the room, this time bigger than ever before. Wanda-Merlin uses her powers to shield the rift from everyone.
**Suddenly, Hulk rampages through the room, yelling "signal." The Avengers then reveal themselves and start fighting. Ant-Man jumps on Winter Soldier's shoulder as they swing into battle from above.
**Thor tells Loki they are going to join the fight and asks where Mjølnir is. However, Loki says he misplaced it. Meanwhile, Stark walks through the catwalk, carrying his invention to get to the Scepter. Rogers Hood then sword fights Sir Harold Hogan and accidentally cuts his feather off. Rogers inches back in fear as an angry Hogan freaks out and mutates.
**Carter finally makes it to Thor, who refuses to listen to her pleas and orders his men to give him the All-Father. He starts walking towards Carter as she makes a rude remark about his drama. Thor then swings at Carter, who blocks the blow with her shield. Meanwhile, Rogers is grabbed by Freak, but saved when Hulk arrives, smashing Freak. Rogers saves Barnes, who is fighting Red Skull.
**Carter, Thor, Hulk, and Freak continue to exchange blows with their respective fighting partners. Hulk then takes Freak and throws him into a piano. Stark remarks how there will be no Hulk next time before he is suddenly found by the Einherjar. However, Ant-Man saves him. Freak then gets up and throws the piano at Hulk, berating him.
**As Thor is distracted, Wanda-Merlin sees Stark with the device and exclaims in relief. She then attacks Thor, saying they are out of time. Sir Nick Fury then takes the Scepter and gets it to Stark, who grabs the Time Stone and puts it into his device.
**However, the machine does not work. As Stark fixes it, Thor breaks free and walks towards the Avengers despite the rift opening from Wanda-Merlin's exhaustion. Stark finally fixes the machine and Carter puts her hand in it, revealing a gauntlet. She then faces the gauntlet at Thor and unleashes its power.
**The power makes waves through the room as everyone stops fighting. Suddenly, Rogers starts glowing, revealing him to be the forerunner. He walks towards Carter, saying he now remembers fighting Thanos and striking the Time Stone, which sent them to 1602. Thor then speaks up, telling Carter to finish her job.
**Carter faces Rogers, not wanting to lose him again. He tells her they both know what needs to happen. Carter remarks that they never get their happy ending, but Rogers assures her that somewhere out there, they do. He then presses the button on the gauntlet, sending everyone back to 2018.
*Carter looks to see everyone gone as she stands in an empty room.
*Carter finds herself at a bar, wallowing in her sadness. She suddenly hears a portal and asks if it is The Watcher coming to gloat about how she was stuck there forever. To her surprise, it is actually Strange Supreme, who says he figures she needs a friend. He then says he has a story for her.
*Carter drinks and remarks at how happy she is to see Strange. The magician then turns her beverage into a single malt, making Carter very happy. She then asks Strange if he could take her back to her universe. Strange agrees, but first takes her to the Sanctum Infinitum.
