Warning: The following contains spoilers for Hawkeye episode 6! Turn back now if you haven't seen the season finale!

Hawkeye episode 6 is here, and the season finale brought with it plenty of twists and turns. Eleanor Bishop is the one who hired Yelena Belova, Kingpin may or may not be dead, and we finally know who owns that Rolex watch.

Like most Marvel projects, though, the series ended with a post-credits scene – but it might not be what you're expecting.

"We were in the middle of the very worst part of the pandemic," Scott Wittman, who wrote the lyrics for the song (composed by Marc Shaiman), recently told Marvel.com of the track. "When we were writing it was like when people would go and bang on pots and pans for the hospital workers, first responders. It all seemed to fit into the universe that we were writing to. So, the notion of 'someone please save New York,' was the battle cry of [the song]."
