 * Fitz discovers Nitramene in the residue from the bombs that the Watchdogs used, and Johnson reports this back to Coulson.

 * Johnson reveals to Fitz and Mackenzie that she has been tracking some of them, and decides to use her powers to stop and threaten a Watchdog to find out information.

 * Attack on the Watchdogs: In the evening, Johnson contacts Mackenzie to inform him of the Watchdogs' location. He reunites with Fitz and Johnson. They incapacitate two guards and send in one of Fitz's new cloaked D.W.A.R.F.s to spy in the farm. The device picks up audio of Blake, and Johnson sends a message to Coulson to let him know.
 * Meanwhile, Coulson and Campbell arrive at Blake's Atlanta safe house and cautiously break in. At the farm, however, Ruben Mackenzie arrives to show Alphonso that he has fixed his motorcycle but when he sees his brother fighting he decides to go away.

Simultaneously, Coulson is surprised to find Blake in the basement of the safe house. At the farm, Watchdog Oscar shoots a projectile of Nitramene onto Fitz's neck. Johnson quakes him and runs back to inject sodium hydrogen acetate into the implosive, but instead of neutralizing it like it should, it only slows the implosion because of Blake's modifications to the formula. She takes him back to a Containment Module with Oscar.
 * After a short conversation, Coulson has come to realize that Felix Blake is likely not really there, but simply a holographic projection, and he wants to test Lincoln Campbell on following orders. He instructs Campbell to kill Blake, and after initially disagreeing, he fires electricity at Blake, but it goes through where he is standing, revealing him to indeed be only a hologram. He congratulates Campbell for following orders.
 * Using a liquid nitrogen from the outside of the module, the Nitramene is disarmed saving Fitz's life.

 * Attack on Alphonso and Ruben Mackenzie: While the brothers discuss, a group of Watchdogs arrive at the Mackenzie Residence and torch their motorcycles, then break into the home to kill the Mackenzies. A fight ensues between the Mackenzies and the Watchdgos. Alphonso grabs an axe and retaliates, then attaches it to the gun to make a makeshift Shotgun-Axe to fight the Watchdogs. They succesfully defeat their assailants but Alphonso recieves a bullet on the shoulder so he passes out due to the loss of blood.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. arrive to take Agent Mackenzie to a nearby facility for medical treatment to his bullet wound. Daisy Johnson tells Ruben Mackenzie that Damage Control will clean up, and assures him that Alphonso will be fine. She tells him they might call one day if they need help with mechanics, and drives him to the facility where his brother is being treated.
 * Analyzing footage from the Attack on the ATCU Headquarters that night, Johnson realizes that the bombing was a cover up and distraction from HYDRA as they stole something from the facility. They realize Malick is funding the Watchdogs and feeding them intel.
 * Giyera meets with Felix Blake, who tells him that he kept his part of the deal, and wants weapons in return to hunt down the Inhumans. Giyera assures him that if the plan continues to go well, their common enemies will die and Blake will have armed soldiers.

HYDRA flies over to capture Hinton at the end of the street with an Extraction Claw. Realizing that he is Inhuman, Johnson rushes to save him, but is too late, only managing to touch him as he is taken up. The brief touch, however, gives her a vision of the future.

 * May tells Johnson and Fitz not to re-purpose all the servers to find the building Johnson saw in her vision, as she and Jemma Simmons still have servers looking for Andrew Garner.
 * Polly Hinton, Charles' wife, is brought to the Playground for questioning. She explains to Daisy Johnson that after his powers came to fruition, every time he touched someone, both he and them saw the upcoming death of someone they knew. He had eventually left them to protect his daughter. Johnson asks about the wooden robin he was carving, to which Polly begins to cry, as seen in Johnson's vision, saying Robin is the name of their daughter.
 * Malick holds a board meeting with the Transia Corporation, showing them Phil Coulson's Prosthetic Hand, and saying that he wants their new Exoskeleton. He declares that he wants to buy the whole company, but is ridiculed. Standing up, It has Hinton touch the CEO Rowan Hamilton to show him what will happen due to his lack of compliance. He sees It ripping the flesh off of the board and consuming it, and, misinterpreting It to have meant this was only what could happen if they didn't comply, Hamilton is scared into agreeing. However, It proceeds to massacre the board members anyway, as was his intention all along. He leaves only Hamilton.

May practices the attack, but is not fast enough to save Hinton if this were the real fight.
 * Gideon Malick tests the Exoskeleton by crushing a vase and flipping a table. However, It instructs him to crush the head of Rowan Hamilton in order to feel his desired "true power." Malick is reluctant at first, but becomes more aggressive as he begins to crush his skull. It encourages him to feel the man's life disappear in his hands as he continues to push until Rowan's head explodes.
 * After more rehearsal, May manages to get fast enough to save Hinton. At that moment an agent informs them that they have found the building from the vision, where Hinton will be.
 * As Melinda May prepares to go on the mission to save Hinton, the team are alerted to a break-in. Agents arrive with Andrew Garner, having turned himself over. Garner tells May that he is about to turn into Lash for the last time, and wanted to speak with her again before turning, and have Lash under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s control.
 * Despite May's determination to still go on the mission, Phil Coulson insists she stays to speak with Garner, telling her she will regret it otherwise. He reluctantly sends Johnson instead, telling her to come back safely.
 * Garner, in a Containment Module, explains to May that he understands he has changed and his actions were wrong, but he thinks that he is fighting for a cause he doesn't understand yet, and hopes he can be a help to S.H.I.E.L.D. at some point.
 * Fitz taps into the security feed at the Transia Corporation Building and they search the various cameras. Coulson is caught off guard and horrified when one of the cameras shows the figure of Grant Ward, despite killing him. Fitz deduces that the situation is even worse, as this is not Ward himself, but "something else". They worry that Johnson is in ore danger than they realize, and Coulson urgently heads to the building.
 * Garner's final transformation begins and he gets himself into a cell. He and May put their palms together either side of the glass.
 * Battle at the Transia Corporation Building: Agent Johnson breaks into the security office and takes down the HYDRA soldiers as planned. She realizes the mirror on the wall is one-way, seemingly too late as a soldier behind the mirror prepares to shoot her. However, Phil Coulson bursts in just in time, shooting the man through the mirror to kill him first. The shots are taken at Johnson's reflection, fulfilling that section of her vision that she believed to be the director shooting her. The rest of the team arrive outside the building. Johnson moves up to the roof to pursue the agents escaping with Hinton. She is ambushed, however, by Gideon Malick with the Transia Corporation Exoskeleton, brutally attacking her. Giyera meanwhile sends a fire extinguisher flying into Lincoln Campbell's head, covering him with blood from the injury and fulfilling another part of the vision. Malick beats Johnson into the ground, wanting to kill her, but Charles Hinton touches him, giving him a vision of a death and shocking him out of the attack.
 * Garner finishes his transition, becoming Lash permanently, causing May to show visible sadness.
 * The billboard above Johnson explodes, showering sparks and ash down over Fitz and Simmons below as they hold hands, as Johnson had seen in her vision, but assumed it to be snow.
 * Charles Hinton lays down, dying on the rooftop with the severely injured Agent Johnson. She promises him that she will look after his family, especially if Robin is discriminated for being a latent Inhuman. He asks her to give his daughter the robin he carved for her, and she agrees. Johnson touches him and is given another glimpse of the future. She sees the inside of a Quinjet in space as items float, including Elena Rodriguez's crucifix necklace, and the shoulder of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in uniform before the jet explodes. The horrifying vision ends, and Hinton finally dies from his injuries.
 * Malick escapes the building in his helicopter. He calls Giyera to ask where he is and why he is not protecting him. Under It's sway, he replies that he is where he is supposed to be. He tells It, who is with him, that Malick sounded afraid.

25th

 * Gideon Malick arrives home at Malick Mansion on the East coast around midday, shaken after his vision. His daughter Stephanie greets him, and tells him that It has already arrived, surprised that he is not pleased by this news. She tells him she has gathered HYDRA's inner circle to meet that evening, as It told her to do.
 * WHiH World News questions on their Twitter, "Col. James Rhodes: an officer and an... Avenger? Does that pose a conflict of interest?".
 * Phil Coulson stares at the image captured of It in the form of Grant Ward from the Transia security feed. Agent May says that she hopes she can now kill him as well.
 * Agent Makenzie arrives back at the Playground after a few weeks of bed rest from his bullet wound.
 * Coulson notes that after the takeover of Transia, their subsidiary GT Agrochemical moved equipment out of its facility in Michigan. They depart in the Zephyr One to investigate the compound and send Lincoln Campbell and Daisy Johnson to the Badlands National Park in South Dakota to find a potential Inhuman Campbell knows who might know something about It.
 * Gideon Malick talks to his daughter about his vision, revealing that it showed him his possibly imminent death. He tells her that he is fairly certain that his murderer was It, and that it will happen tonight, but Stephanie reassures him that she trusts It.
 * WHiH reports in a tweet, "Annual science conference draws an international crowd in Bern, Switzerland."
 * Johnson is upset with Campbell that after months of searching for Inhumans, he had not told her of this man. He tells her that the man, James, is someone he knew from Afterlife, but was never allowed to transform by Jiaying. However, he always used to rant about the "second coming" of an Inhuman who could raise the dead, and after the reappearance of Ward, it only now seemed significant.
 * Fitz and Simmons analyze It's murders as the Zephyr nears GT Agrochemical. The team realize Giyera is posted inside the facility.
 * In the afternoon, Malick and It have a discussion about It's former hosts, and how much he remembers of them, by the side of a pool at Malick Mansion. When Malick questions why It has gathered the inner circle, he simply promises that all will become clear tonight.
 * Having encountered Giyera before in the Ambush at the Distant Star Facility, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons warn of the dangers of his powers. Due to his ability to turn Luther Banks' gun on him, Fitz gives the team guns designed only to fire if held by the owner, linked to their handprint.
 * Campbell and Johnson walk up to James' hut, but he warns them not to come closer. Regardless, Johnson steps forward, not realizing she is stepping onto a landmine. She quakes the mine to hold it down as she steps away and Campbell detonates it safely. Johnson then shakes the ground to detonate the remaining mines, and Campbell is forced to knock out James with his electrical powers.
 * The HYDRA inner circle arrive at Malick Mansion. It reveals himself to them, and to silence his doubters, he unveils to them his true form.
 * Coulson's Team break into GT Agrochemical Facility.
 * After waking, James refuses to help Campbell or Johnson. However, Campbell says that he knows James wants to get his powers, and offers him a Terrigen Crystal in return for information.
 * At GT Agrochemical, the agents lure Giyera into a room with no metal, where he is forced to fight Melinda May. May eventually manages to subdue him and they take him in.
 * Fitz uses information from the facility to work out that Malick is based at Schoonebeek Oil Field, and the Zephyr sets off to the Netherlands. Unconsciously, Giyera starts moving metal objects around his Containment Module.
 * James reveals that he found a mysterious Kree Orb which he will trade them. He explains that he learned stories of "Alveus", a Latin name, an Inhuman designed to lead the Inhuman army, but became too powerful and was banished by Inhumans and Humans together. Campbell takes the orb but refuses to give the crystal, telling James he does not deserve powers. Angered, James spitefully mentions how Campbell "nearly murdered" his last girlfriend as Campbell and Johnson leave.
 * After the meeting with the inner circle, Stephanie Malick shows her father that evening (East coast time) that Alveus gave her the gift of the book 'Paradise Lost'. Gideon is alarmed, understanding the true significance of the book after the trick he copied from his father in 1970, using the book to hide a notched white stone to slip into the bag for the ritual and avoid being chosen, which had resulted in his brother Nathaniel's sacrifice.
 * Simmons presents her theory to Coulson on how Alveus operates, derived from the organisms found on the skeletons of the dead Transia board. Coulson recognizes that Alveus acts like a parasite, and retains all the memories of every host he takes on.
 * Coulson tells Fitz how he feels he did the wrong thing in killing Ward, and now it has literally, physically come back to haunt him, and he feels responsible.
 * As the Zephyr One moves in on Dutch airspace (where it is the early hours of the 26th), Alphonso Mackenzie tells Giyera that he will eventually reveal all of HYDRA's secrets. Giyera smugly tells him that S.H.I.E.L.D. is to thank for Alveus' return, and that in due course, they will understand their view for the potential of humanity.
 * Alveus takes Stephanie Malick with him as he confronts Gideon about the ritual of February 1970. He reveals that he has Nathaniel's memories after using him as a host for a time, accusing Gideon of betraying their pact and exposing his selfishness to his daughter. Gideon is crippled by guilt. Alveus turns to Stephanie, engaging her in a kiss, but starts using her powers to tear her apart from the inside, killing her in front of her father.
 * Now late evening in South Dakota, Johnson and Campbell board their jet to return to the team, and Johnson makes him tell her what happened in his last relationship. He explains that his alcoholism and reckless behavior led to a horrible car crash, but promises to never hurt her. Johnson confesses that she had another glimpse from Charles Hinton, of a member of their team dying in the near future.
 * Hijacking of Zephyr One: Giyera manages to force open the doors of his Containment Module with his powers. Phil Coulson attempts to apprehend him, but Giyera immobilizes him by controlling the metal in his prosthetic hand. He tilts the jet's controls downward to force the Zephyr into Schoonebeek Oil Field. HYDRA soldiers invade and take the plane fro S.H.I.E.L.D., with many agents unconscious or injured.
 * Melinda May contacts Daisy Johnson to tell her of the Hijacking of Zephyr One. Johnson and Campbell decide that they should not be scared of the vision, and it is time to call in the Secret Warriors to help take back the plane and save their friends. As evening turns to night, they redirect their Quinjet to Miami.
 * Alveus approaches Gideon Malick as he sits in mournful shock at the death of his daughter. He tells him that the scales have been balanced for the death of Nathaniel, and gets him to fly to the Netherlands to reunite with Giyera.
 * Johnson anxiously encourages the Quinjet pilots to fly faster, until the jet is going at top speed to save Coulson's Team in time.
 * It is early night in Miami when Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell pick up Joey Gutierrez from a night with his boyfriend, before flying to Bogotá.
 * Elena Rodriguez leaves a coach she was about to board in Bogotá when she sees the signal from S.H.I.E.L.D. and walks to meet them and be picked up on the Quinjet.
 * An announcement is made on the WHiH Newsfront Twitter profile: "Tomorrow on Newsfront we ask our viewers: who should pay for the damage caused by superheroes? Stay tuned."
 * Agent Johnson explains the situation to the Secret Warriors as they fly at top speed to the Netherlands. As they close in on Schoonebeek Oil Field, morning is arriving locally (late night Eastern American time), and Johnson leads the team to skydive in near to the compound.
 * Malick and Alveus arrive at the base after their flight, and Giyera reassures them that he has a team trying to subdue the agents on the Zephyr, and the swayed Lucio will paralyze them soon.
 * Coulson's Team barricade themselves in a room on the Zephyr One after several hours of defending the plane. They attempt to administer medical aid to Agent May's injuries.
 * Retaking of Zephyr One: Now morning in Schoonebeek, Agent Johnson uses her powers to smash the wall of the compound and let the Secret Warriors through. Gutierrez and Rodriguez work together to take down several agents as they look for their fellow agents, before splitting up to search different areas. Johnson goes to the hangar and reports the location of the Zephyr to the other Secret Warriors. Campbell uses his powers to take out several soldiers and breaks through the wall to find Gideon Malick. Unbeknownst to anyone else, Alveus steps out behind Agent Johnson and infects her, effectively swaying her to him and sharing his mind. She tells Alveus that they have something he needs back at the base, referring to the Kree Orb, and so he allows her to continue to pretend nothing happened to her teammates, so as to plant her as an insider. Meanwhile, Leo Fitz uses chlorine gas to temporarily incapacitate the soldiers trying to break into their room on the plane. Johnson hacks into the base and opens the roof of the hangar. She runs to the plane and quakes Giyera before he can kill Gutierrez. Lucio then arrives and paralyzes Agent Campbell as he takes Malick onto the plane in handcuffs, but Gutierrez stabs him to prevent any further attack, effectively killing the Inhuman.

26th

 * By Eastern American time it is now extremely late at night, heading slowly towards morning, as Elena Rodriguez] finds the team in the barricaded room. Melinda May is helped to the cockpit and despite her injuries, manages to fly the plane out and escape.
 * Alveus reassures Giyera as they watch the Zephyr One leave that they have not "achieved nothing" as Giyera believes, because they now have someone on the inside, referring to the swayed Agent Johnson.
 * Arriving back at the Playground in the morning, the Secret Warriors discuss their success in their locker room, though Gutierrez expresses some worry for having committed murder.
 * WHiH posts the video "WHiH Newsfront: The Cost of Saving the World," in which Christine Everhart and political correspondent Will Adams debate whether there should be a special tax for damages caused by superheroes, or whether financial responsibility should fall on the heroes themselves. They show public interviews with mixed reactions, as some say they are glad to clear up, or are appreciative for the heroes saving their lives, and proud to pay for reconstruction. Others stated that innocents are having to pick up the pieces, and highlighted Tony Stark's affluence making him perfectly capable to pay.
 * The ticker of the video reports that the FDA has cautioned against a new "all gluten" diet, production has begun on a new TV movie "Man or Mandarin: The Trevor Slattery Story", a rare albino Panda, Ling Ling, has been born at National Zoo, and that the expected start date for Pym Technologies to resume stock trading has been pushed back in the wake of layoff rumors.
 * Interrogation on Malick begins, who becomes upset at the death of his daughter, and tells Coulson that Alveus does not care for the Humans, as he is effectively a god not to them, but the Inhumans.
 * Daisy Johnson walks in as Lincoln Campbell studies the Kree Orb. The two discuss trust in their relationship, with Johnson displeased that he did not tell her he was bringing a Terrigen Crystal to South Dakota, but admits it was a good strategy. Campbell expresses worry that Gutierrez will be shaken from killing Lucio.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie shows Rodriguez around the base, including the weapons room. She comments that his Spanish has improved, and that because of him, agents have started nicknaming her "Yo-Yo."
 * Fitz and Simmons are shocked to find that despite being dead, Lucio's body still has metabolic activity. They move the corpse to quarantine.
 * Coulson tells Malick that "Alveus" in Latin translates approximately to "Hive," and comments the fitting nature of the name considering his parasitic swarm-like living. Malick states that Hive can make Inhumans change loyalty to him and join the "Hive," and warns that he may have turned any number of the Secret Warriors.
 * Walking out of interrogation, Coulson asks Agent Mackenzie to quietly lock down the base, scared to trust any of the Inhumans.
 * Coulson asks Fitz and Simmons to find a way to determine who has been swayed. They hope to find answers from Lucio's body. Johnson bursts in asking why the base is on lockdown, but Coulson lies that it is just because of Malick being there, not sure if he can trust her. She also asks to be notified if they get intel on Hive's location.
 * Elena Rodriguez is frustrated to learn that she is not allowed to leave. Campbell offers May help with her medicine in recovery, but she rejects it, and Johnson asks him to leave and meet her in her room after. She tells May that she is concerned that Coulson has lied to her.
 * Returning to Malick, he and Coulson discuss revenge for their dead loved ones, urging Malick to channel his anger and help them take down Hive, insisting that gods are not invincible; he states how he has met "gods," and that gods bleed. Malick agrees to help and tell him all he knows.
 * Mackenzie watches the security feeds of the four Inhumans, but looks so closely that he begins to see seemingly suspicious behavior in all their actions. May comes in and asks what is happening.
 * Fitz and Simmons operate on Lucio. When they remove the top of his skull, they find a black infection on his brain, confirming what Malick said about Hive's infection sway.
 * Coulson is called out of interrogation and goes to meet Mackenzie and May, who inform him of what Fitz and Simmons have found.
 * Under Hive's influence, Daisy Johnson steals a grenade from the weapons room and causes a power cut, using the distraction to walk into Malick's empty interrogation room and kill him before he can reveal any more information on Hive to S.H.I.E.L.D. She brutally murders him by quaking him from both sides, as his head is crushed and bleeds, his vision of his death from Charles Hinton coming true. She leaves the grenade next to Malick's body to cover up the murder when it explodes.
 * Mackenzie finds the missing grenade as Fitz and Simmons, on their way to Coulson to discuss their findings, notice the light of the grenade from inside Malick's room. They look round and see his body just before the blast goes off.
 * Knowing a swayed Secret Warrior must have been behind the murder, Coulson leads his agents to gather the Inhumans to explain and incapacitate them until they can determine who it is. However, this leads to a confrontation in a corridor of the Playground, and the Inhumans dive into the next room to avoid the accusations and I.C.E.R. shots.
 * The Secret Warriors team argue over which of them cannot be trusted, with accusations from Gutierrez not being present during the power cut, Campbell having electrical powers that could have caused the blackout and not meeting Johnson in her room as agreed, Johnson being the most angry at Malick, and Rodriguez having been shown the grenades and having a wound she seemingly had not noticed. Coulson lets them argue as it shows they are not all swayed. Johnson eventually agrees to lead all four of them out of the base to safety by a secret passage, despite Campbell being reluctant to leave, expressing worry about releasing the infected Inhuman into the outside world. She subtly sends a message to Coulson to meet them at the Containment Module bay, where she is really taking them, to hand over to S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * While searching the Inhumans' locker room, Agent Mackenzie finds the Kree Orb in Campbell's locker, and believes it to be proof that Campbell is the swayed Inhuman, and he came back to retrieve the orb for Hive.
 * On Twitter, WHiH World News poses the opinion poll: "Who should pay for the damage when Super Heroes are involved?" The results would eventually result in 76% for "The Government" and 24% "The Heroes".
 * Johnson tricks the team as she leads them into the quarantine bay, and Coulson confronts Campbell, ousting him as the infected one, highlighting his reluctance to leave the base as being because he did not want to leave without the orb, and saying he was likely infected since the Battle at the Transia Corporation Building. Angered that they are falsely accusing him and will not listen, Campbell attacks Coulson, but Johnson quakes him to knock him out.
 * Coulson tells Johnson that he has to disband the Secret Warriors, and they cannot be allowed to encounter Hive in the meantime. Fitz and Simmons take blood samples from all the Inhumans to run tests against the data from Lucio and determine if any of the others are infected. Rodriguez rejects the nickname of "Yo-Yo" to Mackenzie in anger about S.H.I.E.L.D.'s treatment of the Inhumans, and Gutierrez expresses a desire to leave as soon as possible.
 * Fitz and Simmons sit together privately and discuss how to help their friends. They end up kissing, and despite Fitz's apologies due to the complications of their relationship, Simmons tells them they've waited long enough, and they continue to share their kiss.
 * Daisy Johnson breaks out of her quarantine cell, having programmed the security herself, and goes to see Campbell. She explains that she is the swayed Inhuman, and was forced to frame Campbell so that S.H.I.E.L.D. would stop being on high alert, and she could lead the two of them to be with Hive. Campbell rejects this however, recognizing that she is not in her right mind, and the version of her whom he loves and wants to be with is not who she is now, and would not have so insensitively exploited the flaws he struggles with, as she has done.
 * Sacking of the Playground: Johnson steals several Terrigen Crystals and the Kree Orb, proceeding to break into the Playground's hangar. She unleashes her abilities and shakes the whole base in an earthquake, wreaking havoc and destruction and escaping through the broken roof of the hangar, while trapping the rest of the team in the base with the falling debris.
 * In Schoonebeek Oil Field, Giyera informs Hive that they have $960 million of Malick's money available to move immediately. Hive states that they should spend it.

 * Melinda May skillfully pilots the Zephyr to exit the Playground while the others discuss Johnson's current addiction to Hive's sway, and the possibility that scientist Holden Radcliffe, who worked at [[GT Agrochemical], might be able to cure her.
 * May gives Jemma Simmons a gun to use in the mission to procure Radcliffe.
 * Johnson reunites with Hive, who has Ward's memories and so calls her by her previous name, "Skye".
 * WHiH Newsfront tweets, "In light of the recent cleanup progress in D.C., Newsfront revisits Natasha Romanoff’s congressional testimony."
 * Coulson deduces that Hive is building an army, and Alisha Whitley would be an asset for him. Lincoln Campbell is sent to apprehend her before Hive can reach her. However, the agents soon realize that Whitley has already been visited by Hive, when she tries to use a clone to kill Campbell. Coulson saves Campbell by killing Whitley's clone.
 * In Bucharest, Fitz and Simmons go to a bar and meet a woman called Anon, who says she will take them to Radcliffe.
 * On the Newsfront Twitter Profile, WHiH announces "High-speed train system utilizing maglev technology makes first trip from New York City to Los Angeles."
 * James is visited by Hive and Daisy Johnson. James refuses to reveal the location of the companion piece to the Kree Orb, so Hive smashes a crystal to put James through Terrigenesis, so that he can sway him to take them to it. Hive reveals that somehow, the orb pieces are the only thing that can destroy him.
 * Meanwhile, Anon tells Fitz and Simmons that to earn her trust and prove the worth of the eye technology they offer to Radcliffe, they must perform an optic surgery on a living human, giving him the cybernetic eyes. Simmons realizes that it is a ruse, and they earn an audience with the scientist.
 * WHiH reports on Twitter, "Group of college students decide to spend their spring break volunteering in Sokovia. All this & more on Newsfront."
 * In order to prevent Hive from controlling another Inhuman, May and Coulson go to James' residence in South Dakota, but it explodes when they arrive. Coulson uses a force field shield in his prosthetic hand to protect them from the blast.
 * WHiH World News asks Twitter users, "Who should cover the costs when Super Heroes are involved?"
 * Ambush in Bucharest: Hive and Johnson go to Bucharest and confront Simmons and Fit to take Radcliffe for their own purposes. Hive uses the memories of Will Daniels to try to entice Simmons as he talks to her. Johnson uses her powers on Fitz, and tells him that she has no desire to be saved by S.H.I.E.L.D.; that if she sees one of them again, she will kill them. Simmons manages to escape from Hive, shooting him, but he simply heals himself. Johnson and Hive capture Radcliffe.
 * Destruction of HYDRA: Using the information that Gideon Malick gave to Phil Coulson, Glenn Talbot leads the United States Armed Forces into a global offensive to permanently wipe out HYDRA. Coulson and May watch maps of the destruction as it unfolds.

 * WHiH reports President Matthew Ellis' words on Twitter: "Pres. Ellis: "Today is a day that demonstrates the true colors of the people of Washington, D.C."."
 * WHiH post a Tweet informing readers, "Thaddeus Ross gives statement commending the people of Washington, D.C. on efforts to rebuild the nation’s capital."
 * WHiH posts the video "WHiH Newsfront: The Avengers and the White House," in which Christine Everhart and political correspondent Will Adams report that the financial cost of cleanup in Washington, D.C., New York City and Sokovia has passed one trillion dollars, and some suggest heroes bear some of the responsibility for the mass destruction, and wonder if there is a better plan for managing future responses. They question where the White House stands, and if the president is leaning to one side. Adams says the Ellis Administration has not publicly expressed a viewpoint, but as Ellis commemorated the cleanup effort in Washington, D.C. earlier that day, he singled out the heroic deeds of the heroes and has always insisted they neutralized those responsible. The video quotes, "Ellis: "The people of Washington, D.C. have a spirit that did not give up when things got tough"" and ""HYDRA eradicated" says Ellis Administration". Adams argues the collateral damage from such events are much better than the alternative. Everhart also states that there are repots the president has recently met with retired general Thaddeus Ross to discuss a potential appointment in politics, and they highlight Ross' previous experience in dealing with super-powered beings. They talk about how the matter of superheroes is far from simple, and debate whether it is even effective, while Everhart points out the meeting with General Ross almost confirms international pressure on Ellis. She states her belief that agencies around the world have an imperative to step up and figure out a means to work with heroes for future responses, though Adams argues that he would rather know the Avengers were on the scene to help immediately instead of held up by agency decisions. They close the report with Everhart announcing that they would be speaking to President Ellis on WHiH Newsfront soon.

In the afternoon in Lagos (late morning Eastern American time) Falcon deploys his Redwing drone to trail a truck, only to realize that the truck is intended as a battering ram to break into the institute. The truck flips and crashes through the entrance and Crossbones' mercenaries follow behind, opening fire on several security guards. As poisonous gas slowly floods the building, Crossbones, wearing a gas mask, steals the bio-weapon he was looking for. The Avengers pursue Crossbones' men, proceeding to take out several of the mercenaries.

 * In an interview, the king of Wakanda, T'Chaka, tells that he and his nation support the Sokovia Accords.
 * Steve Rogers consoles Wanda Maximoff, telling her that the incident in Lagos last month was not her fault. He reassures her that all they can do is save as many people as they can, and that sometimes that does not mean you are able to save everyone. They are interrupted by Vision, who phases through the wall. He informs them that Tony Stark and the Secretary of State are waiting in the board room of the facility.
 * Thaddeus Ross speaks to the Avengers, while he shows them footage from New York, Washington, D.C., Sokovia and Lagos. He tells them that the United Nations has decided that the Avengers can no longer be allowed to operate privately. He reveals the Sokovia Accords, believing it to be the best balance between the Avengers' desire to secure world peace and the world governments' concerns over the destructive repercussions of their interference. Ross tells them that they have three days to make up their minds before the signing of the Accords in Vienna in three days. Before leaving the facility, he also informs them that refusing to sign will be seen as an act of resignation.
 * Meanwhile in Cleveland, Helmut Zemo tricks retired HYDRA General Vasily Karpov into opening the door, then ambushes him and hangs him upside down over a sink, slowly filling it up to torture him into giving him the information he needs about the mission of December 16th, 1991. Zemo also finds the Winter Soldier Book, which contains the words used to trigger the Winter Soldier's conditioning. When Karpov persistently refuses to give him information, Zemo leaves him to drown.
 * The Avengers team is divided over the act; Stark supports government oversight because he feels that they need to be held responsible, as well as feeling guilty over such incidents as creating Ultron, and the death of Charlie Spencer, whereas Rogers worries that the Avengers may be compromised if they come under the control of a third party, his decision influenced by the World Security Council's decision to nuke New York, and his dealings with the infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D. by HYDRA. Vision realizes that there must be a causality between the increase in heroes and the increase in disasters, and so supports the Accords, along with Natasha Romanoff and James Rhodes supports the Accords. However, Sam Wilson and Wanda Maximoff disagree. During their debate about the Accords, Rogers receives a message informing him of the death of Peggy Carter.

8th

 * Peggy Carter's funeral takes place in London in the morning (early morning by Eastern American time), and out of respect, Rogers helps to carry in her coffin. During the funeral, to Rogers' surprise Agent 13 delivers a eulogy, in which she reveals that Peggy Carter was her aunt.
 * After the funeral, Natasha Romanoff hugs Rogers to console him and keep him company. They discuss the issues over the Accords, and Romanoff speaks about how it is important that despite their differences, the Avengers stay together. She then leaves to get on the flight to Vienna for the signing.
 * Bombing of the Vienna International Centre: Arriving at the Vienna International Centre for the signing of the Accords in the afternoon there (morning in America), Romanoff meets T'Challa, son of T'Chaka and prince of Wakanda, who appreciates her signing the Accords. As the meeting is about to begin, a terrorist bomb hidden in a news van by Helmut Zemo goes off, destroying the building and killing King T'Chaka of Wakanda. Zemo then travels to Berlin.
 * Steve Rogers and Sharon Carter (Agent 13) discuss Peggy on the way back from the wake after the funeral. As sexual tension begins to build between the two, Sam Wilson interrupts, showing them the news reporting on the Vienna bombing.
 * When facial scans from security footage seemingly reveal the culprit to be James Barnes, T'Challa vows revenge on Barnes for his father, telling Romanoff that he will kill him. Romanoff then calls Rogers, telling him not to get independently involved, or he will be arrested for ignoring the Accords.
 * Secretly trying to help Rogers and Wilson, Sharon Carter hands them a file she has found from her work on the potential whereabouts of the Winter Soldier in Bucharest. Rogers and Wilson go after Barnes, hoping to bring him in before the government do.

9th

 * In a hotel in Berlin, Zemo is delivered his breakfast by a hotel worker. He carefully stops her from entering his room, fearing that she will discover the large E.M.P. device he is hiding in the room.
 * In the morning in Bucharest (very late night turning to very early morning in America), Barnes is buying fruit from the market when he notices that a stall owner is giving him a searching look. When he goes over to the news stall to find out why, the man runs away. Barnes sees the morning's paper and is shocked to see a report that he has bombed the United Nations in Vienna, knowing that someone has framed him. He realizes that the stall owner will have gone to report him to the authorities.
 * Capture of Winter Soldier: With the local authorities closing in on Bucky Barnes, Captain America locates his hideout apartment in Bucharest, Romania first. Rogers questions Barnes to see if he remembers who he is. Although Barnes tries to keep Rogers out of his problems, telling him he simply read his name in a museum, Rogers realizes he is lying. Falcon informs Rogers that the police are on their way, and Bucky flings a bag out of the apartment window so it lands on a roof across the street, preparing to make his escape. As the police arrive, Rogers and Barnes are forced to fight their way down the stairwell of the building, taking out policemen so that Barnes can make his escape to the roof across the street. Barnes grabs his bag and runs, and just when he thinks he has made it out, he is attacked by a mysterious man in a black panther-like suit. The two fight on the roof, and police shoot at the "Black Panther" from helicopters, only to see their bullets ricochet off of the suit, as it is made of a vibranium weave. Falcon flies in to take out the helicopter shooting at Barnes and Black Panther, and the two give chase. Meanwhile, the United Nations uses the Accords to their advantage so as to call in War Machine. The chase makes its way to the streets, and down into an underground tunnel where Steve tries to catch up with Black Panther as he pursues Barnes. Barnes steals a motorcycle so as to try to get away from Panther, who is moving incredibly fast on foot.
 * Rogers takes a police car to chase the two down, but cannot catch them. The chase ends as Black Panther claws at Barnes' motorcycle wheel, and as he goes to kill Barnes, Rogers crashes the car and jumps out to tackle Black Panther. The trio find themselves surrounded, and War Machine arrives to arrest the three of them. The mysterious Black Panther unmasks himself, revealing himself to be T'Challa, going after Barnes to kill him for killing his father. They are then flown to Berlin in custody.
 * In the morning in New York, Vision cooks paprikash to try to lift Wanda Maximoff's spirits. As she tries it, he attempts to reassure her that people do not dislike her, but are simply naturally afraid of her powers.
 * When Maximoff tries to leave, however, Vision moves to block her. He reveals that Tony Stark has told him to stop Maximoff from leaving, for fear that if she is let out of the facility, she may cause another catastrophe. He simply believes that he is doing this for everyone's safety.
 * After several hours of traveling, Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes and T'Challa arrive at the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre in the afternoon in Berlin (morning Eastern American time).
 * At the center, Barnes is taken to be seen by interrogator Theo Broussard, and Stark, who was waiting at the center, sits down to speak with Rogers. During the conversation, Stark explains about what went wrong with his relationship with Pepper Potts, and Rogers sympathizes. Stark explains that he wants Rogers to sign, so as to make the last 24 hours since Rogers went against the Accords to go after Barnes legitimate and shifted to be under government control so that no repercussions would come about. Although Stark tries to be kind to Rogers, when he reveals that he is keeping Maximoff at the New Avengers Facility, the conversation gets heated for a brief amount of time, and Stark leaves. Zemo's E.M.P. goes off and he triggers Bucky's conditioning.
 * Barnes' interrogation begins, but instead of being seen by Broussard, Helmut Zemo has got into the center pretending to be Broussard.
 * Escape from the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre: His plan unfolds simultaneously at the nearby power plant that generates the electricity for the center. He delivers the E.M.P. he has built to the plant, where it is set off, cutting off the electricity supply in the center and leaving him able to speak to Barnes in private. Zemo brings out the Winter Soldier Book, and Barnes is powerless to stop him as he reads the key words to trigger his Winter Soldier conditioning again. Barnes rips himself out of his bindings and breaks out of his cage, going on a rampage throughout the center.
 * When Wilson and Rogers arrive, they find Zemo, pretending to cower on the floor, and Barnes gone. Rogers does not fall for Zemo's trick and threatens him, but is then suddenly attacked by the Winter Soldier, and him and Wilson have to fight him, before he throws Rogers down an elevator shaft. As Rogers attempts to climb back up, Stark leads the fight against Barnes, using all the equipment he has; a portable Iron Man glove that comes from a wrist accessory, shooting a sonic wave and flash of light so as to slow down the Winter Soldier.
 * He then gets into close combat with Barnes, who even tries to shoot Stark, only blocked by the bulletproof glove. When Barnes defeats Stark, Sharon Carter runs in to fight him next, but again, she is bested by the Winter Soldier. Natasha Romanoff then attacks him from behind, wrapping her legs around his neck, but Barnes, in his ruthless and uncontrollable state, throws her onto a table and attempts to strangle her, despite her asking him to try to recognize her. T'Challa then arrives, using vibranium-tipped shoes and his impressive agility to try to stop the Winter Soldier. Although he slows him down, Barnes still breaks away from him and out to the helipad on top of the building. Rogers arrives to catch him taking off in the helicopter, and grabs hold of the landing gear to stop him from leaving. The Winter Soldier crashes the helicopter into the helipad instead in an attempt to kill Rogers, but fails, and the two fall into the water below, where Barnes is knocked unconscious, and Rogers brings him to the surface.
 * Steve Rogers traps Bucky Barnes' metal arm in a vice in a local abandoned garage so as to stop him from escaping if he is still conditioned when he wakes.
 * Helmut Zemo moves forward with his plan, boarding a flight to Moscow.
 * When he does wake, Barnes proves to Rogers that he is free of the conditioning by recounting to him small details about their childhood that he could not have simply read in a museum. He then reveals to them that he was not the only Winter Soldier, as in 1991 he had retrieved a super soldier serum which was used on five other people to turn them into more ruthless Winter Soldiers. However, they had got out of HYDRA's control and had been put back into cryogenic freeze. Barnes explains that he thinks Zemo will be looking to reactivate them. Rogers frees Barnes, and discusses with Wilson what they should do next, and how it would have been a lot easier a week ago. While Rogers thinks they are out of luck, Wilson tells Rogers that he might know someone who can help.
 * Stark pleads with Ross to allow him time to take Rogers in himself before the government goes after him, and Ross allows him 36 hours. Stark and Romanoff then discuss what they are going to do next, and Stark tells her that he has a plan. He flies his Quinjet to Queens as fast as possible, hoping to get the help of the relatively new spider-like vigilante in New York, of whom stories and supposed footage have been passed around frequently, and who Stark is sure is secretly teenager Peter Parker.
 * Rogers contacts Clint Barton and asks him to help rescue Maximoff and arrange to pick up Scott Lang.
 * Peter Parker gets home from school late with a D.V.D. player from the dumpster. However, when he gets home, he is shocked to find Tony Stark in his apartment, already talking to his aunt May Parker. Stark tells him that he has won the grant he applied for, subtly letting him know that he should go along with what Stark says, despite not knowing what he is talking about. Stark then goes to Parker's room to discuss things further with him.
 * Once they enter Parker's room, Stark explains to him that he has recognized that Parker is the New York vigilante, confronting him with footage. Though at first denying it, when Stark finds Parker's hidden costume, Parker gives in and explains to him about his powers, telling him he likes to be known as the "Spider-Man." Parker tells him that he struggles to continue to be the same person around people he knows, whilst also living the double life of being the vigilante, without anyone knowing. He tells Stark that he feels that if people like him have the abilities to stop bad things from happening in the world, if they do not then use those abilities to stop the bad things from happening, they are responsible. Although at first reluctant to come to Germany because it would mean dropping out of school for a few days and not being able to do his homework, Parker eventually gives in, and Stark agrees to make him a completely new costume.
 * Rescue of Wanda Maximoff: In the early evening in New York, an explosion outside the New Avengers Facility causes Vision to briefly leave the compound. Scarlet Witch then senses that someone has broken into the facility, and uses her powers to move a knife to their head, before realizing that it is Hawkeye, who has shown up to rescue Maximoff from Vision's watch. Hawkeye shoots electrified arrows around the room to set a trap, and when Vision returns, he is subdued by the arrows electrifying and holding him back. Maximoff is a little reluctant to leave, giving Vision time to destroy the electrified trap and fight Barton. Because of his far superior abilities, Vision easily evades all of Barton's attacks and grabs hold of him. However, Barton then convinces Scarlet Witch to use her own powers, matched with Vision's, to restrain the synthetic being and throw him down through many floors and deep underground, allowing them plenty of time to escape. Barton then informs her that they have one more stop to make first.
 * Hawkeye then picks up Scott Lang, as Rogers and Wilson wanted, and him, Lang and Maximoff fly to Germany to meet with Rogers, Wilson and Barnes.

10th

 * Arriving in Germany, Clint Barton puts Scott Lang in the back of a van as him and Maximoff drive to meet Rogers at the Flughafen Leipzig-Halle airport. On the way, Lang falls asleep in the back.
 * Sharon Carter drives Steve Rogers, Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes to the Flughafen Leipzig-Halle, managing to smuggle Captain America's Shield and the EXO-7 Falcon suit out of the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre to return them to their owners. Rogers thanks Carter for all her help, and the two share a kiss, which they both agree was long overdue between the two of them. Barton then arrives with Maximoff and Lang, and when he wakes up Lang, he is very awestruck to meet his hero, Captain America. Him and Wilson share a joke about the last time they met, and Lang agrees to help them.
 * The group hear that Stark and his team have arrived and shut down the airport, and Rogers tells his team to "suit up".
 * Clash of the Avengers: A few hours under 24 hours into Thaddeus Ross' 36 hour deadline for Stark, Iron Man and his team confront Captain America and some of his team at the airport, bringing in Spider-Man in his new suit to bind Captain America's hands with his webbing and steal his shield. When Rogers refuses to listen to Stark and back down, Ant-Man steals Captain America's Shield back for him, and Hawkeye shoots an arrow to break the webbing binding between Captain America's hands, and a battle breaks out between Iron Man and Captain America's two teams. Iron Man goes to apprehend Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch, but the two work together to bring cars crashing down on Stark and keep him trapped temporarily. Meanwhile, Spider-Man swings in to take out Winter Soldier and Falcon, using his super strength to block Barnes' punches, and his webbing to stop Falcon's wings from working. As he fights the two, he continuously spouts witty lines and jokes, something which Falcon picks up on. When it seems like Spider-Man has the two defeated, Falcon uses Redwing to grab Spider-Man and throw him out of the airport window.As everyone escapes the various predicaments they have got themselves into, the twelve heroes all end up coming together in the airplane parking area outside the airport. The six heroes on each side begin to run at each other, and all the heroes pair off, clashing with each other, each in an attempt to subdue and take down the other, but with no one having the desire to kill anyone else.
 * In the process, Black Panther gets in a hand-to-hand fight with Barnes, who tells him that he did not kill his father, but T'Challa does not believe him. A massive battle unfolds, resulting in the destruction of much of the airport. Rogers and Barnes, however, know they need a way to get to Siberia so as to stop Zemo from reactivating the five Winter Soldiers. They notice Stark's Quinjet parked in a section of the airport, and realize that they are going to need a distraction so as to escape in the jet. Ant-Man volunteers a distraction he has attempted in a laboratory before, using his suit to make himself grow to be giant instead of shrinking. Taking Iron Man's team by surprise, the team work on taking down Ant-Man's new "Giant-Man" form and all but momentarily forget about Captain America and the Winter Soldier. After Giant-Man grabs War Machine, Spider-Man wraps his webbing around Giant-Man's legs to make him fall over. Meanwhile, Vision notices Captain America and the Winter Soldier running for the Quinjet, and causes a tower to fall on them to stop them reaching it. Scarlet Witch manages to use her telekinesis to hold up the tower long enough to allow them to reach the jet's hangar. However, they find that Black Widow is waiting for them inside the hangar, and worry that she is about to try to stop them. Instead though, turning against Iron Man's team as she uses her Black Widow's Bite to subdue Black Panther, who had quietly made it into the hangar after the two as well. She allows Rogers and Barnes to escape in the Quinjet, simply telling T'Challa that she said she would help find Rogers, not catch him. As the Quinjet flies away, War Machine and Iron Man fly in pursuit, and Falcon flies after them to help his friends escape. Iron Man gets Vision to try to shoot Falcon's wings to stop him from catching them, but Vision is momentarily distracted by trying to comfort Scarlet Witch and misses the shot he fires from the Mind Stone in his forehead, catching War Machine's arc reactor instead of Falcon's wings, and causing Rhodes to fall uncontrollably from the sky.
 * He crashes to the ground before Iron Man or Falcon can catch him. He survives the fall, but is severely injured, and the Quinjet flies away. Iron Man takes out Falcon in rage, and the authorities soon arrive to arrest Hawkeye, Ant-Man, Scarlet Witch and Falcon. Parker soon returns home.
 * Around midday German time, Helmut Zemo calls room service at the hotel he was staying in from a phone in a town in Siberia, asking for a late breakfast to be brought to him as usual, but instead the woman finds his room empty and discovers a dead body in the bathtub: the body of Theo Broussard. She reports the find to local authorities, and it soon reaches the news.
 * A few hours after the battle, Rhodes has another MRI scan in hospital while Stark watches on anxiously, and talks to Vision about his blunder. Stark has also had his arm put in a sling. He then has a conversation with Natasha Romanoff about her disloyalty in the battle the day before (by German time). He also informs her that Rhodes may have some sort of paralysis, and that the authorities will be after her, but Romanoff instead warns him to watch his own back. Stark is then alerted to he news of the discovery of Broussard's body, finding out from F.R.I.D.A.Y. that discovered along with the body were facial mask disguises of the Winter Soldier, and that Broussard is the man who was meant to interrogate Barnes. Stark realizes that Zemo, the man who had hired the room, has framed Barnes for the Vienna incident and that he was wrong. Stark flies in his helicopter to the Raft prison to speak with Sam Wilson.
 * In the afternoon in Siberia (morning Eastern American time) Helmut Zemo arrives at the HYDRA Siberian Facility and uses the Winter Soldier Book to enter and navigate the compound.
 * Zemo eventually finds the five other frozen Winter Soldiers.
 * Stark is greeted by Thaddeus Ross at the Raft and is shocked when he sees the conditions that Rogers' team are being kept in, locked and kept like insane and dangerous people.
 * Stark goes to speak to the team and is insulted by both Clint Barton and Scott Lang, before speaking to Wilson. He uses a device to temporarily disable the audio in the prison so that he can speak to Wilson secretly, explaining that he found out about the framing and does not intend Rogers or Barnes any harm but has realized they are heading into something they do not understand and they will need his help. Wilson explains about them heading to Siberia, making Stark promise to go as a friend, to which he agrees. Stark then reactivates the audio and leaves.
 * Pretending that he learned nothing from the team and directing the helicopter back to America, but as it heads off, Stark gets into the Iron Man Armor: Mark XLVI and flies in the opposite direction to Siberia to help the duo.
 * Meanwhile, T'Challa secretly shadows him in a jet so as to get his revenge on the Winter Soldier.
 * As evening draws closer in Siberia (late morning in the United States of America), Captain America and the Winter Soldier find the HYDRA Siberian Facility and prepare arms, then cautiously enter the base, noticing that Zemo has already been there for a few hours.
 * They are preparing to take on the five Winter Soldiers, whom they expect Zemo to have woken and released by now, when a door in the compound is forced open, but they are surprised to find that it is Iron Man. Stark removes his helmet and explains that he has come to help, and the trio reconcile and stand together as they then proceed to explore the facility.
 * While the trio explore the facility, T'Challa stealthily follows behind at a safe distance.
 * As they enter the room with the five Winter Soldiers, they discover that the other soldiers have been shot in their cryogenic sleep. Helmut Zemo reveals himself, protected in a shielded room with a window to speak to them through. He tells them that he had never intended to release the Winter Soldiers, but wanted them dead before anyone could release any more people like Barnes into the world. Zemo reveals that he is from Sokovia and wants to punish the Avengers for the death of his family during Ultron's attack and has been decrypting the leaked HYDRA files from the Battle at the Triskelion for over a year since the event to find a way to tear apart the Avengers. Black Panther watches on and understands that Barnes was framed by Zemo and walks away so as to contemplate what to do next.
 * Battle of the HYDRA Siberian Facility: Zemo shows Stark the security video he had finally acquired from the 16th December 1991, showing that his parents Howard and Maria Stark did not die in an accident, but were murdered by an assassin to steal samples of the Super Soldier Serum from their car. As the video continues, it becomes clear that the assassin who murdered Stark's parents was the Winter Soldier.
 * Stark does all he can to withhold his surge of fury, asking Rogers if he knew, to which he admits that despite not specifically and clearly knowing it was Barnes, he did indeed already know the circumstances of their deaths (from Arnim Zola's computer consciousness) and a part of him knew that Barnes was likely behind it. Stark, enraged, hits Rogers across the room and turns on the Winter Soldier, forcing Steve to fight him to save his friend's life. A chase ensues through the compound as Barnes tries to escape from Iron Man and Captain America attacks him to prevent him reaching his lifelong friend, and the three end up falling into a part of the facility with open views onto the snow. Captain America attempts to tell Iron Man that Barnes was not responsible for his actions and that what he is doing is wrong, but Stark's rage will not be stopped and Rogers and Barnes are forced to fight Iron Man to save themselves and take him down.
 * In the ensuing battle, the Winter Soldier loses his metal arm, and Iron Man blasts Captain America in the stomach.
 * Meanwhile, Zemo waits outside, listening to his wife's voicemail message for a final time before deleting it, now that he has achieved closure. T'Challa unmasks and walks up to him, and asks him why he has done what he has done, to which Zemo explains that he understands that he could not kill the Avengers himself, but realized that if he could make them kill each other, he could bring them down to human level and break them apart in front of the world.
 * Him and T'Challa discuss the nature of vengeance, and after days of going after Barnes before realizing that he was the wrong man all along, T'Challa resolves that he will no longer let his desire for revenge consume him like it did to Zemo, and prevents Zemo from committing suicide, believing the living are not done with him yet, and content with sending him to prison.
 * Inside the compound, Captain America picks himself up to continue the fight and despite analyzing his fight pattern, Iron Man cannot keep up with his flurry of attacks, and Rogers knocks him to the ground, continually attacking with his shield until he smashes Stark's helmet off. He then raises the shield one final time while Stark lies helpless and worried as Rogers considers, in the heat of the moment, bringing it down to kill him, but at the last second gains some control and redirects his aim to instead break Stark's arc reactor and disable his armor, leaving him injured on the floor. Rogers helps up Barnes and begins to depart, but as he leaves, Tony bitterly reminds him that his father was the one who gave him the shield he's holding, and that he does not deserve it. Realizing that he does not deserve it after the actions he just committed and needing time to reconsider, as well as to show respect to Stark, Rogers decides to leave the shield behind, dropping it on the floor and not looking back.
 * T'Challa takes Rogers and Barnes on his jet with Zemo held captive and they fly to Berlin to hand over Zemo to the Joint Counter Terrorist Centre, then flying on to Wakanda.
 * Early in the morning of the 11th June in Berlin (the night of the 10th in America), T'Challa delivers Helmut Zemo to Everett Ross whilst hiding Barnes and Rogers in his jet. Zemo is locked away and Ross teases him in his incarceration, but Zemo hints that while he may be imprisoned, that does not mean his plans have failed.

 * Jemma Simmons approaches Johnson in the Containment Module, in order to obtain more information about Hive and his plans.
 * Glenn Talbot attempts to get the necessary kill codes to stop the missile's launch sequence through General Andaz, but Andaz believes in proper protocol and will not help them without an official order.
 * Leo Fitz creates a green screen background to impersonate the General so that Undersecretary Walter Thomas releases the codes to Coulson who approaches him from the S.H.I.E.L.D. SUV with the proper ATCU credentials.
 * Meanwhile, Giyera assures Hive that if S.H.I.E.L.D. tries to attack them they will be detected.

Hive swears to show S.H.I.E.L.D. his rage as he commands Holden Radcliffe to take two Primitives with him to reset the launch.
 * While the team proceed with the plan, in the Playground, Coulson stares at the Theta Brain-Wave Frequency Machine as he wonders how he can get Johnson to remember what "Absolution" means. He gives her an update on their progress, but Johnson has a harder view on herself than Coulson does, citing that she, like Grant Ward, is nothing more than a brainwashed criminal. Coulson dismisses her as having withdrawal from her addiction.
 * Hive is lured by Campbell into Mackenzie's trap, a giant Theta Brain-Wave Frequency Machine, to pull forward all of the different personalities in the dark Inhuman that he has absorbed over the millennia. Hive is freed from the torture when Mackenzie, Rodriguez, and Campbell flee, but the memories of his past hosts still flood his consciousness. Giyera and Hellfire arrive to help, but Hive's speech is an incoherent mess of quotes from hosts past and present. Hellfire realizes that something is seriously wrong when Hive nonsensically addresses Jemma Simmons as if he were Will Daniels telling to her to run, and Giyera attempts to get the dark Inhuman to focus.
 * Fixating on Ward's memories, Hive finally manages to get his mind under enough control to give Giyera and Hellfire a coherent order: disconnect the warhead, since there is no hope of launching the missile now.
 * May, seeking the warhead, frees Radcliffe from the Primitives while Rodriguez frees the hostages from the conquered missile silo. However, as Giyera takes the warhead and flees, Hive confronts the agents but he is captured in a Containment Module full of Suspension Gel.
 * Upon return to base, Mackenzie defies the security protocols and tells Johnson that Hive is their prisoner as he forgives and hugs her; this allows Johnson her emotional release as she cries. The two talk about how unsafe it is to have Hive at the Playground.
 * Fitz goes to assure that the base is sealed against Hive loyalists. But in his way to, Fitz realizes what "Absolution" is the releasing of the Absolution Virus in the Playground. Hellfire activates the trap, turning several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents into Primitives.
 * Battle of the Playground: The Primitives free Hive from captivity. He wants the Zephyr One to have high altitude capability enough to launch the warhead to make all Humans into Primitives (or Inhumans). Johnson escapes her Containment Module and goes to confront Hive. She begs him to sway her again but when he cannot sway her again due to Lash's powers an enraged Johnson attacks her old master. A fight ensues resulting in Hive knocking out Johnson. Johnson is incarcerated in the Containment Module on the Zephyr One. Fitz and May secretly approachs the plane in order to stop Hive from using the warhead. They find Johnson and soon are ambushed by Giyera. Fortunately, Fitz uses an invisible gun to kill Giyera.
