Wasp and Iron Man try to persuade Hank Pym to rejoin the Avengers. However, he's far too obsessed with his experiments and driven by guilt over Ultron.

After the funeral, in which Tony Stark gives a speech, Captain America attempts to console a grieving Jan. Then, Nick Fury approaches Stark and Janet, and says that the explosion was not an accident, it was murder.
The Avengers believe that the Serpent Society has something to do with it because of Hank’s files. When Black Panther and Cap try to watch their latest safehouse, they find a new vigilante called 'Yellowjacket' who takes a member of Serpent Society down.

Continuity[]

Trivia[]
- Between the end of "Ultron Unlimited" and the beginning of "Emperor Stark", Vision was still severely damaged after his rebellion against Ultron. However, he was curiously seen at the funeral scene somehow, fully repaired, most likely to be a production inconsistency.
- Right after JARVIS told Hawkeye and Black Panther that Thor was about to encounter Yellowjacket, two known companies can be seen in the shot directly after, Oscorp with Norman Osborn and Damage Control.
- Ms. Marvel appears in the intro and in this episode as a cameo, but she doesn't made a major role of this episode.
