 * Radcliffe and Simmons discover the source of May's hallucinations, and realize the only way to save her is to stop her heart, and then quickly bring her back to life before her body completely shuts down, which would "reset" her brain.

Aida informs May that she goes further and further in this Framework simulation despite her memory being erased after Aida catches her.
 * At the Playground, S.H.I.E.L.D. decides to have Daisy Johnson sign the Sokovia Accords at the Capitol while Elena Rodriguez infiltrates Senator Ellen Nadeer's office, an operation to which Glenn Talbot reluctantly agrees.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie receives a text message and informs Rodriguez that he cannot join the mission and that he has something else to do.
 * Leo Fitz still struggles to find answers regarding Aida's former rebellion and discusses with May's LMD about the influence that the Darkhold could have had on Aida.
 * Jeffrey Mace, Glenn Talbot and Daisy Johnson go to the public hearing prior to the signing of the Sokovia Accords in the presence of Nadeer while Phil Coulson and Rodriguez try to infiltrate the Senator's office. Nadeer confronts Johnson about her Inhuman nature and her illegal activities while she was fighting the Watchdogs as the vigilante nicknamed Quake. She then reveals that she is aware that her office is currently being broken into as Coulson and Rodriguez are spotted and arrested, which leads to S.H.I.E.L.D. being put under public investigation. This makes Coulson and the others think that there is a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D..
 * May's LMD and Simmons discuss the leak and Simmons confronts Fitz about his work on Aida's first version's severed head that he kept and secretly worked on. Jemma Simmons thinks that the footage from the head's eye camera could have provided Nadeer with the intel. However, Fitz denies the idea, informing the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that he investigated the real cause of Aida's rebellion and finally found it: Holden Radcliffe himself.
 * A team is sent to Radcliffe Residence, where May's LMD had gone first in order to confront Radcliffe about her nature before realizing that she cannot go against Radcliffe's secret programming; however, she cannot attack Radcliffe or even disclose her true identity to the others.
 * The S.H.I.E.L.D. team finally breaks in and arrests Radcliffe, who is locked in a Containment Chamber at the Playground.
 * Once he returns, Alphonso Mackenzie tells Yo-Yo Rodriguez about his daughter, Hope Mackenzie, who died 11 years ago, only four days old. He explains that went to see his ex-girlfriend Nicole to support her since the next day would have been Hope's birthday.
 * Fitz later visits Radcliffe and confronts him about lying to everyone. However, Fitz figures out that the person he is speaking to is not human but a Life-Model Decoy. Due to this, Fitz shoots the android in the head, revealing its true nature. The real Radcliffe watches the whole scene through the LMD's eye camera while striking an alliance with Ellen Nadeer and the Watchdogs.
 * In order to prevent May from escaping the simulation, Radcliffe also had her living a rewritten life: he modified her memories of the Rescue in Bahrain and implanted in her mind a new version of the story where she saved Katya Belyakov instead of killing her, wiping May's greatest regret.

 * Meanwhile, Billy is brought in a dark room inside a submarine where Radcliffe is also imprisoned, faking the situation so as to gain Billy's trust and he reveals the whereabouts of the Darkhold.
 * However, as Billy demonstrates that he is willing to die, despite all the torture he might receive, in front of the Superior, the leader of the Watchdogs, himself, Radcliffe decides not to torture him but to look into his mind instead of interrogating him, by using some Framework equipment.
 * Daisy Johnson manages to identify Leo Babikov, one of the Watchdogs who attacked the Koenig brothers, proving that Radcliffe has allied with the organization and thus with Senator Ellen Nadeer. Sam then reveals that he knows about the Darkhold because Billy gave it to him and Sam gave it to another Koenig agent, LT Koenig.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. takes her aboard the Zephyr One where she explains to Coulson andHRadcliffe-ScanningBKoenig.jpg reviews Billy Koenig's memories]] the others the "Operation Hot Potato": passing the Darkhold back and forth between the three Koenig agents before hiding it into the Labyrinth, a secured S.H.I.E.L.D. facility.
 * Since Billy is the one who had the Darkhold right before hiding it, Radcliffe is able to locate the Book of Sins by studying Billy's memories. However, Ivanov does not trust Radcliffe's methods and orders that Billy Koenig should be interrogated to confirm their intel. However, after a brief confrontation during which Aida beats several Watchdogs and reveals her android nature, Ivanov agrees to head to the Labyrinth immediately.
 * While talking to Simmons, Leo Fitz figures out that Radcliffe's LMD does not run on pure computer programming:HPS Quantum Brain.jpg he is equipped with a Quantum Brain created by Aida with the Darkhold knowledge.
 * Horrified, Fitz, Simmons and Mackenzie understand that Radcliffe and Aida mapped another Quantum Brain: the one inside Melinda May's LMD.
 * Rescue of Billy Koenig: Phil Coulson, Daisy Johnson, May's LMD and the Koenig siblings arrive to the Labyrinth and retrieve the Darkhold right before the Watchdogs attack. When May's LMD finally takes the Darkhold, her secret programming takes over and she refuses to hand it over to Coulson, threatening to kill him. Coulson figures out that he is dealing with an android which is quickly taken down by Johnson, who was warned by Fitz and Simmons. S.H.I.E.L.D. then fights the Watchdogs losing the Darkhold, which is taken by Holden Radcliffe.AntonIvanov-DrinksCelebration.jpg

27th

 * At the Playground, Director Jeffrey Mace learns from Jemma Simmons that the super-serum that he has been using to pose as an Inhuman could endanger his health and that he must stop using it.

Radcliffe, much to Coulson's dismay, takes Kitsworth with him and connects her body to the Framework.
 * Kidnapping of Jeffrey Mace: A new S.H.I.E.L.D.'s field mission is set up and successfully captures Shockley in a containment sphere designed by Leo Fitz, locking him in a secure containment sphere. Unfortunately, Mace is taken down and captured by the Watchdogs while ensuring the rest of the agents' escape.

 * 23:30 New York: Work out they're LMDs.
 * 23:40 New York: Coulson awakens May's LMD. It's dark outside.
 * Having retrieved the badly wounded leader of the Watchdogs, Anton Ivanov, Aida proceeds with her plan to have someone protecting the Framework while she tries to make herself human. She cuts him into pieces, promising the preservation of his mind.
 * Meanwhile at the Playground, Jemma Simmons and "Leo Fitz" try to keep calm after finding out about four LMDs infiltrating the base. Simmons believe that the LMDs are Coulson, Mackenzie, Mace, and Johnson, but she does not know that the one of the four LMDs is actually Fitz.
 * Coulson's LMD approaches them and tells them that they need to bring all Inhumans to the base saying that it is so as to protect them from the Watchdogs. In reality, he is planning to execute them at the request of the Superior and Aida. Mace's LMD comes along with Daisy Johnson, claiming he is totally healed and ready for the next mission.
 * 30th 00:00 New York: Video call Yo-Yo.
 * Inside the director's office, the recently reactivated May LMD is shocked to find out that Coulson has also been replaced by an LMD copy.
 * Late into the night, Simmons and Fitz walk through the Playground, and a hidden LMD detector is triggered. The two realize that one of them must be an LMD, and Simmons forces Fitz to cut his wrist to prove he does not have a substructure. When blood begins to pour out, she panics that she has just got her boyfriend to slice a main artery and approaches him to help, only for Fitz to turn around and attack her, knocking her out and revealing himself to have been an LMD all along.
 * Meanwhile, Holden Radcliffe is brought back to the real world by Aida after spending 24 hours in the Framework. He asks Aida why there were changes to the reality of the Framework, and she reveals that it happened due to the recent uploading of the consciousnesses of Phil Coulson, Jeffrey Mace, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Leo Fitz, and thus the Framework being adapted to accommodate them. Radcliffe is concerned at Aida's actions, saying that she should never have changed the reality of the Framework with him being inside, because it could have caused him severe brain damage. Radcliffe worries when she reveals that the four LMDs she sent to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D. are ready to kill in order to complete their missions.
 * Siege of the Playground:
 * 30th 03:00 New York: Daisy leaves, Zephyr in 10 minutes. Jemma wakes up. Takes out LMD Fitz.
 * When Simmons wakes, Fitz's LMD discusses Fitz's desire to marry her and settle down. Simmons is pleased to hear this, but does not fall for the LMD's attempts to bring her over to his side. Simmons manages to escape by destroying his neck and stabbing him several times to incapacitate him.
 * Daisy Johnson accidentally finds several copies of herself in the Containment Modules, to her horror. She realizes that the base has been already infiltrated by some LMDs, but she does not know which of her friends were replaced. She dresses as one of the LMDs and hides herself among the fleet.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie's LMD enters the module with intention to kill Johnson. He spots an LMD with her clothing imperfect, and believes it to be Johnson. As he moves to attack, the real Johnson assaults him from behind, defeating him and running away.
 * Johnson and Simmons meet, and are terrified that the other is lying and is secretly an LMD. Johnson uses her powers, proving that she is not one, as they cannot replicate Inhuman powers, and simultaneously proving Simmons is real as well as she quakes her bones. The two embrace with huge relief, and decide to fight back against the LMDs and rescue their friends.
 * Aida shows Radcliffe the new body she is building for the Superior, and tells him how she is starting to know the feelings of human behavior, but cannot understand it with logic. Aida also explains that her two main orders are to protect the Framework, and to protect Radcliffe's life, but that that creates a paradox in her programming. She sees them as a contradiction, because he might become a major threat to the Framework if one day he regrets its creation. Aida kills Radcliffe and submits him into the Framework where his consciousness will be preserved, even if his body has perished, to fix the paradox by keeping him safe in a place where he cannot threaten the Framework.
 * 30th 03:25 New York: Base is on lockdown. Need to hack in. Tell them to shoot to maim. I will beat them.

Real World

 * As a part of their plan, Simmons and Johnson use sleeping gas to knock out the human agents and prove that they are not the LMDs, but Mace, Mackenzie, and Coulson are. A battle ensues between Mace's LMD and Johnson, who manages to destroy him.
 * 03:50 New York: Coulson brings in the May LMD. Still dark outside.
 * Johnson is then attacked by Coulson and Mackenzie's LMDs. Johnson uses her powers to attack them, shattering Mackenzie's LMD completely, and escaping from Coulson.

 * As Simmons, Johnson, and the other agents start to escape from the base using Zephyr One, Coulson's LMD arrives at the exit in pursuit. May's LMD reveals that she let them go, and as Coulson attempts to move past her, she ignites an explosion to destroy the LMDs and allow the agents to get away. The explosion destroys the entire hangar of the Playground, but the Zephyr flies out safely.

Suspecting her tampering, he confronts Aida and tries to attack her, reminding her that he did not want his mind meddled with. Aida calmly informs Ivanov of what has transpired, explaining that his body is mechanical while his mind is not. She shows him his own severed head and notes that his strength has now been enhanced. Aida explains that she learned how to do this by reading the Darkhold, and tells Ivanov that she needs him to protect the Framework, stating that despite being a machine, Ivanov can still feel emotion from his mind - an ability she intends to find for herself very soon.

Framework

 * Believing her "boyfriend" is Lincoln Campbell, alive in the Framework, Johnson leaves the bathroom and approaches her boyfriend, only to discover that it is the virtual avatar of Grant Ward. Shocked, she instinctively tries to use her powers against him, only to realize that in the Framework, she has not received her powers yet. Ward calls her Skye, and asks her who texted. Johnson attempts to answer without arousing suspicion, giving a vague response, but Ward deduces that it was Pinsky. Johnson sees a picture of her Framework "Skye" self and Ward together, looking happy. Ward hugs her and hands her her HYDRA badge, which in this virtual recreation of the world, took over control years prior.
 * Johnson and Ward travel to the Triskelion, and the news on the radio discusses the arrest of the Inhuman child that morning. Johnson is shocked at the new reality Aida and Holden Radcliffe have built.
 * Johnson uses HYDRA's servers to search for Lincoln Campbell, only to find out that he died during experimentation. She also discovers, to her dismay, that Jemma Simmons has died in the virtual reality years ago. Melinda May approaches Johnson and tells her that she needs to attend a meeting.
 * Jemma Simmons wakes up in the Framework, replacing her avatar, who was buried. Simmons claws her way out of the ground, discovering that in the virtual reality she had been murdered.
 * Simmons receives help from a woman driving past the closed off zone of the massacre. The woman lets Simmons into her car for a ride to Washington, D.C., and Simmons beings to realize how the history of the real world has been changed in the Framework. The woman stops the car when she sees that HYDRA's patrols are doing a check on the freeway. She tells Simmons that she needs her ID, and Simmons finds one in her pocket, but when the woman sees that it is a S.H.I.E.L.D. ID, she forces Simmons to leave her car in fear.
 * Johnson attends a meeting where they are informed that "Jason Rajan," a potential Inhuman with possible links to the Resistancem has been captured. Johnson recognizes him as Vijay Nadeer from the real world. Melinda May reveals that the assignment has been given to her and Ward.
 * Interrogation begins on "Rajan," but he denies everything that Johnson asks. May texts Johnson saying that she needs to be more persuasive. Because she knows his real name is Vijay Nadeer, she reveals that Rajan's ID is fake, and asks him if there is a mole within HYDRA who helped him obtain such a convincing ID. She also reveals his real name: Vijay Nadeer. Nadeer starts to panic, and before he can reveal that Ward is the mole, Ward knocks him out.
 * Simmons enters a coffee shop, but on her way out she is stopped by two HYDRA agents due to her rough and questionable appearance. When they discover that she is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent who died some time ago, they attempt to arrest her, but Simmons manages to defeat them and escape in their car.
 * Phil Coulson, who in the Framework is a history teacher, begins to teach his class at the Alexander Pierce High School about why they fear the Inhumans. He states that it all started after the Rescue in Bahrain in 2008, when S.H.I.E.L.D. allowed an Inhuman girl to remain as a citizen in their country as an act of goodwill, but it all resulted in a massive incident in Cambridge that killed hundreds of students. He explains that eventually S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut down and HYDRA revealed itself to the world, presenting a new world order preventing new Inhuman incidents like the one in Cambridge.
 * One of Coulson's students, Burnell, asks Coulson if it is true that HYDRA came from Nazis, but Coulson denies it, saying that HYDRA's true origin comes from centuries ago. Coulson is interrupted when two HYDRA agents enter to take one of his students, Chris Adler, with them. Coulson lets them take Adler so as to show his supposed loyalty to HYDRA.
 * Meanwhile, May enters the interrogation room to wake up Nadeer, who recognizes her as the one at fault for the Cambridge Incident, for letting the girl live. She orders "Skye" to take him to "the Doctor." Johnson takes Nadeer with her and asks him about the rescue in Bahrain, finding out that in the virtual reality, May never killed the girl. Nadeer distracts her and tries to escape, but is apprehended by the Doctor's agents. Johnson is surprised when Fitz enters, but she notices that he is not the Fitz she knows.
 * Simmons uses the servers from the HYDRA agents' car to find Johnson and Fitz, but she discovers that Fitz's data is hidden from the public. However, she manages to find Coulson's details in this reality, and leaves to find him at his school.
 * Simmons visits Coulson and talks to him, but he does not recognize her. She tries to explain that this world is not real, and tells him of his life in the real world, especially after she notices hints of his real life in his office. Simmons brings up the subject of Tahiti, and how it is "a magical place," he claims not to believe her words, and forces her to leave after she shows him her S.H.I.E.L.D. badge.
 * Simmons leaves the school and meets Burnell, who is vandalizing her car with graffiti stating "HYDRA LIES." They talk about HYDRA and how Coulson is a HYDRA supporter, but Simmons tells him that Coulson used to fight HYDRA, more than anyone else. Burnell regrets spraypainting Simmons' car, and gives her his car to make up for it.
 * Coulson calls HYDRA after Simmons leaves, and reports her as a subversive, due to her S.H.I.E.L.D. ID.
 * HYDRA's D.W.A.R.F.s take surveillance photos of Simmons. The pictures are sent to HYDRA servers.
 * Johnson watches as Fitz experiments on Nadeer in order to discover which latent powers he has without exposing him to Terrigenesis. They are interrupted by Melinda May, who informs Fitz about a British woman with a S.H.I.E.L.D. badge and how she was reported by a teacher named Phil Coulson. Recognizing the description as Simmons, Daisy Johnson sets out to locate her first.
 * Coulson starts to think over all the things Simmons told him. He looks through paraphernalia he has kept over the last few years that he felt had strange significance he could not explain, like the article reporting on Doctor Winslow's capture, a drawing he made of an eagle, a leaflet for a string quartet in the Burkhart Theater in Portland (a glimpse of his beloved Audrey Nathan), a May page from the 2016 calendar, a ticket to Tahiti, and a page on which he had compulsively written, "It's a magical place."
 * Daisy Johnson arrives at the park where she and Simmons were supposed to meet earlier that day. She finds Simmons, who is running from HYDRA agents, but before they can escape, Grant Ward stops them and confronts "Skye" about what is going on. He asks them if they are allies of the Resistance, and Skye insists that they are not. Ward surprises them, suddenly revealing he is a sleeper agent himself, secretly working for S.H.I.E.L.D. within HYDRA (the opposite to his real world counterpart), and he helps them to escape.
 * Melinda May informs Leo Fitz that Simmons escaped, and tells him she thinks Simmons received help from the same person that made the fake ID for Vijay Nadeer. Fitz asks May for the images taken by the D.W.A.R.F.s, but May replies that the director herself ordered the intel to be given only to her.
 * Simmons and Johnson discuss the history of the Framework, then they try to use the backdoor device they created to escape the virtual reality, only to realize that Aida destroyed their way out.
 * Fitz visits Madame Hydra in her office. He asks her for the pictures of Simmons, but she refuses to give them to him, saying that she needs him to finish Project Looking Glass. They share a kiss.
 * Johnson approaches Coulson in his car as he is leaving the school. She talks to him about his life in the real world, and he finally recovers some details from his real life, remembering her enough to call her "Daisy."

Framework

However, Fitz does not recognize her, and assures Ophelia that she will be killed.
 * Knowing that Daisy Johnson is the one who has infiltrated the Framework, Madame Hydra orders Melinda May to take Johnson on an assignment.
 * Johnson goes to the Triskelion and obtains the coordinates of Holden Radcliffe's location, then prepares to leave with Ward. However, they are stopped by May, who orders Johnson to go on an assignment with them. Johnson agrees, but not before giving Ward the coordinates.
 * Coulson and Simmons are reunited with Jeffrey Mace, who in this reality is an Inhuman and the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D. Mace explains how things are in the Resistance, and that he only trusts them because Ward does. Ward arrives at the base and gives Simmons the coordinates of Radcliffe's whereabouts. Simmons convinces Mace to lend them their Quinjet to go after Radcliffe by saying that he is the only one who can help them to defeat HYDRA for good.
 * May, Johnson, and a team of HYDRA agents arrive at the Mackenzies' in order to arrest Alphonso and Hope for taking the remains of one of the D.W.A.R.F.s.
 * Fitz and Madame Hydra talk about Simmons, and Ophelia reveals to Fitz that Simmons has come through from the "other side," and that this is why she needs him to finish Project Looking Glass quickly. Fitz asks her about her own life in the other world, and Ophelia responds saying that she is their slave, with no free will. Fitz promises that no one will ever hurt her again.
 * At the Triskelion, following Madame Hydra's orders, May tells Mackenzie that if he is fitted with a microphone, and subtly obtains a confirmation from "Skye" that she is indeed an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. by pretending to know her from the agency, he and his daughter will be released.
 * Mackenzie pretends to know Johnson as he was ordered, and she falls into the trap, revealing her true allegiance. As she tries to escape, she is subdued and knocked out by HYDRA agents.
 * Ophelia and Fitz assemble a team to visit Holden Radcliffe, the creator of the Framework, so as to make sure he has not made contact with either Johnson or Simmons.
 * Meanwhile, Ward, Simmons, and Coulson find Holden Radcliffe spending time playing crochet peacefully on his virtually created island Ogygia. When Simmons asks if there is a way to exit the Framework, Radcliffe answers that there is no such thing, as he believes that Aida must have had already closed it. He tells Simmons that he is dead in the real world, and that that is why he cannot help them.
 * Assassination of Agnes Kitsworth: Fitz and Ophelia arrive at Radcliffe's residence, where Fitz threatens him at point gun. Simmons, Ward, and Coulson hide as they watch the situation from a safe distance. When Aida sees Agnes Kitsworth wandering the grounds, she tells Fitz that Radcliffe intends to replace her with the woman, and HYDRA soldiers bring her over. Fitz aims his gun at Kitsworth instead, as Radcliffe begs him not to kill her, saying that he is not acting the way Fitz would act, and is being brainwashed by Aida. Ward aims his gun at Fitz in order to prevent him from killing Kitsworth, but he Simmons begs him not to shoot, and he reluctantly backs down. To Simmons' shock and dismay, however, Fitz proceeds to kill Kitsworth. She screams at him in horror, revealing their presence, but the trio escapes as Madame Hydra and Fitz take Radcliffe with them.
 * Hope Mackenzie is released from HYDRA custody and is reunited with her father. May approaches and thanks Alphonso for his service and loyalty to HYDRA, shocking little Hope.

Framework

 * Leo Fitz conducts an investigation into the spy in HYDRA as he finds himself questioning his choice to kill Agnes Kitsworth back in Ogygia.
 * After Fitz interrogates Daisy Johnson, Madame Hydra asks him to leave. All alone, she tells Johnson that if she simply divulges where the others are, she can make Lincoln Campbell return, and the two of them can live a life together in peace. Johnson refuses defiantly, knowing it would never be the real Campbell.
 * Johnson and Holden Radcliffe begin to speak through the vents in their holding cells, and Johnson learns from Radcliffe that Fitz killed Agnes Kitsworth. Johnson is shocked, unable to believe her friend could do such a thing, until Radcliffe explains that only one sentence altered in Fitz's life could have changed his developmental course entirely. In the Framework, Fitz and his father remained close.
 * As a revenge for Kitsworth's murder, Radcliffe tells Johnson of a backdoor he installed to escape the Framework that Aida cannot disable, though he admits that she likely has it guarded.
 * Jemma Simmons informs Jeffrey Mace that he is, in fact, in a simulated reality generated by Aida to rewrite his sense of reality. Grant Ward, uncertain if Simmons is mentally ill, keeps a watch on her. He sees the way she reacts to him, and apologizes for whatever his counterpart may have done.
 * Infiltration into HYDRA Enlightenment Cultivation Center:
 * Alphonso Mackenzie, having joined the S.H.I.E.L.D. Resistance, gets intel on a repurposed radio, which Mace and Phil Coulson use to infiltrate a HYDRA "Enlightenment Camp" to free an undercover agent, Antoine Triplett. They are tracked there by Melinda May, who uses Doctor Winslow's super serum to fight Mace, but it soon wears off.
 * Coulson attempts to save one of his former students, Chris Adler, whom he sees being held in a nearby brainwashing center, and Mace follows him into the building to help. May authorizes a Quinjet to shoot down the building, and she enters the rubble to ensure that Mace is dead. She finds him stopping debris from crushing the student, with Coulson and Triplett helping other children escape the building. May is horrified to find children being victimized by HYDRA, undergoing the Faustus method. Mace stays to hold the crumbling ceiling as the others are evacuated. When they have safely escaped, the building finally falls, killing Mace.
 * May realizes too late that in serving HYDRA to make up for the tragedy at Cambridge, she became a blind tool of an oppressive force, and has allowed a true hero to die.

Real World

 * As he dies in the Framework, Jeffrey Mace also dies in the real world, forcing Aida to disconnect him from the virtual reality.

Framework

 * Turning on HYDRA, May sneaks a Terrigen Crystal to Johnson, so she can gain her Inhuman abilities within the Framework.
 * The Bakshi Report, held by Sunil Bakshi, reports on the death of the Patriot the day before.
 * Following his recent death, John Garrett is commemorated as a national hero by The Bakshi Report.
 * Daisy Johnson emerges from her Terrigenesis husk, fully recovered from her wounds.
 * Escape from the Triskelion: Johnson and May fight their way out of the Triskelion before being stopped by Madame Hydra and two HYDRA agents. Madame Hydra notices that even in the Framework, May keeps being a fighter, while Alphonso Mackenzie remains a protector, and Leo Fitz sustains a "romantic" temper. After pointing out that Madame Hydra has not talked about her, Johnson uses her recovered quaking powers on Madame Hydra and projects her out of the building. Madame Hydra falls to the ground several stories below, severely injured.
 * At the Playground, Mackenzie, Grant Ward, and Antoine Triplett watch another broadcast of The Bakshi Report. While the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, including Phil Coulson and Jemma Simmons, mourn the loss of their leader, the Patriot, they learn of the attack on Madame Hydra. Simmons and Ward quickly understand that Johnson is probably the wanted Inhuman mentioned by Bakshi. Meanwhile, Johnson and May, now fugitives, make their way to a S.H.I.E.L.D. meeting point.
 * Fitz is outraged by the attack on Madame Hydra, especially since it places HYDRA in a moment of weakness. His father Alistair Fitz tells him that he has to lead HYDRA in his lover's place.
 * Fitz summons Bakshi to the Triskelion and orders him to broadcast Johnson and May's identities, so as to instill fear against the Inhumans in the people's hearts.
 * Ward, fearing for his girlfriend's life, leaves the Playground to find her.
 * Alistair Fitz informs his son that Johnson and May have been spotted and that a team of HYDRA agents is after them. Before Leopold can lead the chase himself, Madame Hydra wakes up and asks him to prioritize finishing Project Looking Glass, saying that this will help her to heal.
 * Johnson and May, having reached one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s safe houses, are nearly caught by the HYDRA agents, but are rescued by Burrows, Coulson, and Mackenzie. Mackenzie threatens to kill May for having kept his daughter Hope hostage, but Johnson convinces him to let her live.
 * Back at the Playground, Johnson confirms Simmons' story of the real world, which he had refused to believe in.
 * Simmons studies the pictures taken by Triplett while he was working undercover within HYDRA. She quickly recognizes a design for Quantum Batteries with the mention of "Project Looking Glass." Since the design is more complex that Simmons has seen in the real world, she assumes that these batteries are designed to produce something highly sophisticated, and require massive amounts of energy. She and Triplett borrow the Quinjet for a recon mission to Ivanov's naval base in the Baltic Sea. Once they arrive, Simmons figures out Aida's plan: creating a reactor which will enable her to produce living matter in the real world, and thus become human herself.
 * Alistair Fitz informs Leopold that the HYDRA team failed to apprehend the fugitives. Leopold gets angry at his father, who quickly chastises him for his behavior and tells him that if he had wanted Leopold to behave this way, he would have left him with his mother.
 * Alistair Fitz then goes to interrogate Holden Radcliffe, who is still in HYDRA's custody. However, Radcliffe refuses to tell him anything, mocking Fitz for both his life in the real world and in the Framework. Though Fitz severely beats the scientist, he does not get any valuable information, other than the images of Radcliffe informing Johnson of the backdoor to the real world.
 * Siege of HYDRA Broadcasting Center: At the Playground, Coulson has Johnson understand that in order to achieve her goal, she must weaken HYDRA within the Framework. Therefore, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents storm the studio where The Bakshi Report show is recorded. After holding Bakshi and his staff hostage, Ward and Johnson have a conversation about what is real and what is not in the Framework. They wish each other well as they part ways. S.H.I.E.L.D. then broadcasts a subversive message featuring Coulson, where the former history teacher proudly announces his allegiance to S.H.I.E.L.D., and reveals HYDRA's lies and secrets, thanks to the footage recorded by May's body cam during the assault on the HYDRA Enlightenment Camp the day before, when the Patriot died.

Real World

 * Aida returns to the real world after being severely injured by Daisy Johnson in the Framework. She is stunned by May's rebellion in the Framework. When she resolves to work on the issue so that May is no longer a complication, Anton Ivanov offers to simply kill May. However, it soon turns out that he is incapable of doing so; since Ivanov uses a body designed and built by Aida, he suffers from the same limitation than Aida and thus cannot harm any of their captives. However, Aida tells Ivanov that if one of the agents begin to threaten the existence of the Framework, that overrules their defensive programming - the loophole she found with Radcliffe.
 * Very late into the night, Anton Ivanov informs Aida that his men are on the verge of attacking the Zephyr One, where Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons are, both of whom are threatening the Framework. Aida orders Ivanov to prepare for the final phase of her plan, since Fitz has completed Project Looking Glass in the Framework.
 * Ten days after connecting Jemma Simmons and Daisy Johnson to the Framework, the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents aboard the Zephyr One are running out of options - the Framework draws a great deal of the plane's power, forcing them to turn off all the non-vital functions such as heating. In order to keep the Framework running, Piper suggests disabling the plane's cloaking. Prince disagrees, as the cloaking is the only thing which protects them from Anton Ivanov's attacks. However, Elena Rodriguez decides to follow Piper's suggestion, and the Zephyr One reappears in the sky.

Framework

 * Jemma Simmons and Daisy Johnson reunite following Johnson's escape from the Triskelion and Simmons' mission to the Baltic Sea. Simmons tells Johnson about Aida's plan to create a living body to implant her consciousness into, so as to be a real person with her own free will, and Johnson then informs her of the existence of the backdoor built by Holden Radcliffe. The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents decide to go there to open the portal and get back to the real world with Phil Coulson, Melinda May, and Alphonso Mackenzie. Simmons reluctantly agrees that Leo Fitz is out of their reach for the moment, and that they must leave him in the Framework for now, to get him back later.
 * Coulson tells May about the real world, but despite his explanation, she is very doubtful.
 * At the Triskelion, Leo Fitz interrogates Radcliffe to find out what he and Skye discussed when the two were imprisoned in adjacent cells the day before. At first, Radcliffe refuses to speak, telling that he is already dead in the real world and that living in such a horrible version of the Framework, without Agnes Kitsworth, means nothing to him. However, Fitz persuades Radcliffe to change his opinion by telling him of the possibilities offered by his Project Looking Glass: Radcliffe could upload his consciousness into a brand new body in the real world, and could even have as many bodies as he desires in the future, thus achieving his long-running transhumanist dream of immortality. Radcliffe accepts, but only because he knows that Fitz will now go to the backdoor's location and hopefully be returned to the real world, stopping him from continuing to be Aida's puppet.
 * Simmons talks to May about Fitz, and realizes that his ruthless personality in the Framework is due to his relationship with his father.

Framework

 * Jemma Simmons resolves to find Alistair Fitz in order to force him to help her get Fitz back. However, the encounter goes wrong when Alistair calls his son and asks him to come and arrest Simmons. A brief fight ensues between him and Simmons, and Alistair's avatar is accidentally killed. Simmons, horrified, flees before Leopold and the HYDRA agents arrive. When Fitz finds the dead body of his father, he decides to get revenge on Simmons and kill her.
 * Meanwhile, Simmons returns to the Playground. Johnson tells Mackenzie that if he comes with her and the other agents, they have a way of finally defeating Madame Hydra, and does not reveal the truth of why she needs him to come to the backdoor, to get him home to the real world. Johnson, Simmons, Coulson, May, Mackenzie and Antoine Triplett take a Quinjet and fly to the Framework's exit.
 * Understanding that the situation is slipping out of her control with the murder of Alistair Fitz and the S.H.I.E.L.D. rebellion growing stronger, Madame Hydra decides to progress to the next phase of her plan as soon as possible, and activates the reactor she built in the real world, beginning the synthesis of her new human body.
 * Escape from the Framework: The coordinates provided by Radcliffe lead Johnson and her teammates to a steel mill, instead of a city park like Radcliffe had originally designed for the location. Indeed, Aida had discovered the backdoor and hidden it beneath a bulk of molten steel. When the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents begin to argue about what they should do, Mackenzie gets angry at Johnson for not telling him about the real world. Johnson and Simmons then figure out that Johnson could use her powers to reveal the backdoor, but before they can proceed, a team of HYDRA agents storm the steel mill. Several agents are taken down, but Coulson is shot multiple times. May goes to his rescue, and he persuades her to push him through the portal, knowing he has nothing to lose now. He asks her to follow, before making it through. May soon follows him, finally convinced.

Real World

Framework

 * Fitz, accompanied by Radcliffe, finds Simmons. She apologizes for what happened with Alistair and desperately tries to make her boyfriend regain his real consciousness, but remains unsuccessful. While Fitz prepares to shoot her, Radcliffe suddenly disarms him, revealing his true reason for coming to the backdoor. Radcliffe forces Fitz to the portal and pushes him through, successfully taking him back to the real world, hoping he has somewhat atoned for his mistakes. Simmons follows.

Real World

 * Simmons wakes up in Zephyr One just as Ivanov's men are about to attack, shooting down the plane.

Framework

 * Johnson tells Mackenzie it is his turn to leave, but despite her insistence, he refuses to return to the real world, since his daughter Hope Mackenzie is alive in the Framework and he feels he simply cannot live a life without her; even if the life is virtual, she feels too real to him to leave her behind for a world where Hope did not make it. Crying at losing her old partner, Johnson reluctantly returns to the real world alone.

Real World

 * Johnson wakes on the Zephyr One and apologizes sadly to Rodriguez for leaving Mackenzie behind. However, Rodriguez does not have time to argue as Ivanov's attack comes.
 * At Anton Ivanov's naval base, Coulson and May try to calm down Fitz, who is horrified by what he has done in the Framework, especially since his actions led to the deaths of Agnes Kitsworth and Jeffrey Mace. While Fitz is still in distress, Aida arrives in her newly created human body. She smiles at Fitz and has him touch her hands, entrancing him again like in the Framework. Fitz, puzzled, is slow to react, and cannot move away, therefore obstructing May from shooting Aida. Suddenly, Aida teleports, displaying an ability similar to the Inhuman Gordon, and take Fitz away with her, much to Coulson and May's dismay.

Framework

 * Mackenzie returns to the Playground to spend time with his daughter, telling her that everything he needs is right there.
