(If you havent seenCaptain America: Civil War, you should probably do that before reading this recap.
But then again, you shouldve probably done that before watching the episode.)
Its fitting, right?
This elevator booth thing is AWESOME, and I want one for my apartment.
The first person Talbot meets when he gets to base?
Elena, who has returned!
She shows off her powers to Talbot (who is both impressed and probably a little freaked out).
Daisy, meanwhile, is following through on her promise to help Hive with his experiments.
But shes also attempting to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.s files, which Fitz is combating from his end.
She sees Lincoln locked up and needs to get him out because we have a history.
(Dude, you, like, barely know him but whatever.)
Hive warns her if her friends interfere again, things wont end so well, but Daisys not worried.
Once they get Lincoln, theyre in business.
Lincoln just wants to be with Daisy: no S.H.I.E.L.D., no government, no Hive.
Just them alone, being together and happy.
The call is cut short when Talbot arrives with Coulson, trying to sell him on the Accords.
Coulson, obviously, opposes this and then takes Talbot to see Garner, a.k.a.
Lash, in his containment unit.
And yeah, if Talbot wasnt happy before, he definitely is not happy now.
Coupled with what they already know about Hive making Inhumans, its not hard to put the pieces together.
Talbot wants the government to handle this instead of S.H.I.E.L.D., but thats a no go.
And what better (unwilling) volunteers than the Watchdogs?
But Daisy has other things on her mind: Shes breaking Lincoln out of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Talbot wants to loop in the president, and Lincoln realizes hes trapped even with Daisys help.
Except…that wasnt Lincoln in the jet.
But who DID they send on the jet?
Because, see, every Inhuman exists with a purpose.
And its believed that Lashs purpose is to kill Hive.
As for the Watchdogs?
Well, theyre, uh…overcooked, I guess.
Theyre definitely not the Inhumans Hive or Radcliffe expected.
They kind of look like variations of HYDRAs Red Skull.
Hive is apparently fine with them, though, since theyre now part of the Inhuman race.
And he wants more.
Which means more blood from Daisy.
When she collapses, Lash…saves her.
And then takes the parasites out of her.
And then Hellfire throws a chain through Lashs chest, effectively killing him (for real).
Daisy, now free of of Hives powers, sees the whole thing and is super shaken up.
The group realizes Lashs purpose wasnt to kill Hive but to save Daisy.
The good news is, Daisy will be okay.
He needs a way to do that.
Which…he does.
Because he stole a fully operational warhead from the ATCU in Indiana (remember that missile?).
Your move,S.H.I.E.L.D.
