Chase of Lash

"We got to figure out how this thing is finding Inhumans and why it's killing them." "I know why." "Yeah? Why?" "Instinct."

- Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie

The Chase of Lash was an attempt by S.H.I.E.L.D. to capture the Inhuman Lash and prevent him from killing other Inhumans.

Background
"He's here to kill us. And you can't stop him."

- Alisha Whitley to Phil Coulson

During the Chase of Lincoln Campbell, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie encountered Lash, a formidable and monstruous opponent who withstood their combined attacks and managed to escape from capture. With help from Dwight Frye, Lash was able to locate other Inhumans he killed without mercy. Among Lash's targets were Lori and Shane Henson. While a clone of Alisha Whitley, who was working with S.H.I.E.L.D., tried to warn them about the danger they were exposed to, Lash stormed the Hansons' apartment and killed the three Inhumans before escaping. Having been alerted of the attack, Phil Coulson sent Johnson and Mackenzie to chase Lash.

Chase
"We've trailed the killer to the industrial park a half a mile south of you. Backup would be nice." "On its way. Hold tight."

- Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson

Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie tracked down Lash down to an industrial park not far from the Hanson's apartment. Johnson requested some backup and Phil Coulson decided to reach out to the ATCU, who he had agreed to cooperate with. As a result, Rosalind Price took a team to the industrial park. Johnson and Mackenzie kept looking for Lash, wondering how he could find other Inhumans to kill. They heard a noise and carefully moved forward to a door, behind which they suspected was Lash. However, it turned out to be the ATCU operatives led by Price. Price ordered her men to stand down and Coulson joined them, explaining to Johnson and Mackenzie that S.H.I.E.L.D. and the ATCU were working together.

The ATCU operatives dispatched across the industrial park but to no avail as Lash managed to escape.

Aftermath
"Reach out to the ATCU. Let them know what you found." "Taking this team-spirit thing a little far, aren't we?"

- Phil Coulson and Daisy Johnson

Despite the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents' reluctance, Phil Coulson ordered them to cooperate with the ATCU in the investigation about Lash. Daisy Johnson analyzed an e-mail received by Lori and Shane Henson and ATCU operative Luther Banks informed her that several Inhumans the ATCU knew as Lash's victims had all received the e-mail. Eventually, Johnson tracked down the e-mail's source to Dwight Frye, another Inhuman who S.H.I.E.L.D. and the ATCU decide to pay a visit, unaware that he was actually Lash's source of intel.
