Hawkeye episode 5 ending explained
The conclusion of Hawkeye episode 6, titled Ronin, included some major reveals for the series so far.
In addition to providing some further texture to Yelena Belova discovering that her adopted sister Natasha Romanoff had died during the events of Avengers: Endgame prior to her being given Barton as a target in the Black Widow post-credits scene by her new boss Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) who credited Barton with being responsible for Natasha’s death.
We also got to see Maya Lopez discover the truth about Ronin's identity and that an informant had wanted her father William Lopez dead.
It is clear that Maya suspects her close friend and longtime Tracksuit Mafia ally Kazi of being the one who betrayed her father but we shall have to wait and see if this pans out.
Meanwhile, Jack Duquesne got arrested for money laundering for the Tracksuit Mafia after Kate told her mother Eleanor Bishop (Vera Farmiga) everything.
However, the end of the episode revealed that Eleanor was the one who hired Yelena to kill Clint and that she is working with another dangerous individual who also happened to be the one Clint was worried about: Kingpin/Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio).
