2017

"You cannot stop Ragnarök. Why fight it?" "Because that's what heroes do."

- Surtur and Thor

This is a timeline of events that occurred in 2017.

1st

 * Alphonso Mackenzie has a long awaited dinner date with Elena Rodriguez. He calls her Elena for the last time for the next three months.
 * He and Coulson return to the Zephyr, as is routine, to renew their pursuit of Quake, following a new lead from her incident in Atlanta. They continue tracking her whereabouts, and hoping to bring her in.

18th

 * Stephen Strange begins to write an email to Christine Palmer, but decides not to send it.Scott Derrickson said, "It's months that he's in recovery, I think it's between 3 and 6 months. Yeah, I think it's about 3 to 6 months. Somewhere in there [... I think - gosh, don't hold me to this because again I haven't thought about this in a long time [...] but I think it's about a year from the beginning of the movie to his return to New York. And so, [...] I think it starts early fall, to late fall, so it's a little over a year, because I think it's like winter-y when he has the fight with Christine, it's like that cold, New York, really dark grey, nearly snowing kind of vibe."] On the day of Strange's car crash, he checks his watch and it says "TUE", "2016", "FEB", "2", making it Tuesday, February 2, 2016. While this does not fit with the fact that WHiH tweeted on May 2, 2016 and posted a video on May 3, 2016 (and WHiH Newsfront is proven to be set in real time, (1, 2, 3, 4, and other dialogue in videos matching with dates given)) about Strange being a surgeon, Scott Derrickson tweeted to confirm the February 2nd date as well as retweeting another post about it. With the beginning of the film in "early fall" and the end of the film in "late fall", "a little over a year" later, and the February 2016 car crash falling between the two, this would mean the film begins around early Fall 2015 and ends around late Fall 2016. However, Derrickson also says that Strange recovers for 3-6 months, and Mads Mikkelsen says Strange trains for "9 months" before his clash with Kaecilius, which overall would suggest the film ends 12-15 months after Strange's car crash, thus placing the ending around February-May 2017. This, in turn, using Derrickson's comment about "a little over a year" ("early" one season to "late" the same season a year later would mean 4⅔ seasons, so about 14 months), would, working backwards, place the opening of the film between December 2015 and February 2016 (the latest it can be, before Strange's car crash). Overall, using weighted math from all the evidence available, the details of which can be seen here, the result is that the opening is October 13, 2015, the car crash February 2, 2016, the argument with Christine March 29, 2016, Strange's arrival in Kathmandu May 4, 2016, and the climax January 18-19, 2017. This would put the opening still in the early part of fall (working with Derrickson's comment), the argument with Christine towards the end of the snowy period and a bit after winter, but enough time after Strange's crash and a good time for the heavy rain (a bit later than Derrickson's comment but realistic), his arrival in Kathmandu 3 months after his crash (just fitting inside Derrickson's 3-6 months comment), the climax another 8.5 months later (just fitting for Mikkelsen's "9 months" comment), and the climax a bit after Fall 2016, instead Winter 2016-17 (a bit later than Derrickson's comment) but fitting as "a little over a year" (15 months) after the opening (fitting reasonably with Derrickson's comment), a realistic time of year for the snowfall at the Ancient One's death, and working with the other comments just described. This also works fine considering Derrickson made it clear he did not want to be fully held to his comments. The specific dates of smaller events in between can also be found here.
 * Strange goes to the Kamar-Taj Library in order to obtain more books. However, when he calls for Wong, he does not show up. Strange goes to the Ancient One's private collection and starts to read the Book of Cagliostro.
 * He finds instructions on how to use the Eye of Agamotto: a magical item kept only a few meters away, and experiments with its power.
 * Benedict-cumberbatch-doctor-strange-movie.jpg uses the Eye of Agamotto for the first time]]Strange begins to manipulate time for the apple he has been eating, turning it back in its time to regrow, and forward until it rots. Strange uses this power to recover the lost pages stolen by Kaecilius in the book, and comes to realize the Eye's powers of control over the time of objects. He is caught by Wong and Karl Mordo, who both angrily warn Strange not to disturb the natural law, noting that misuse of items of such incredible power could cause Strange to become trapped in a time loop forever.
 * Wong and Mordo take Strange to the Sanctum Chamber and reveal the real purpose of the Masters of the Mystic Arts: for keeping Dormammu and other mystical evil entities away from Earth.
 * KMordo-MastersExplaination.jpg also tell him about the three Sanctums across the globe in New York City, London, and Hong Kong, as locations from which the sorcerers can protect the Earth.
 * Destruction of the London Sanctum:
 * Kaecilius and his Zealots infiltrate the London Sanctum and kill all the Masters of the Mystic Arts defending it, including Sol Rama. Kaecilius then successfully destroys the London Sanctum by creating a massive explosion.
 * In the chamber, Wong and Mordo become worried as alarm bells sound. The trio opens the door leading to the London Sanctum, only to see Kaecilius' destruction.
 * Sol Rama 3.png]]The explosion rips through into Kamar-Taj and knocks everybody off their feet, trapping Strange in the New York Sanctum as he is separated from his allies and unable to return to Kamar-Taj.
 * Stunned from the explosion, Strange starts looking for help, walking through the New York Sanctum. He soon discovers the Rotunda of Gateways, as well as the Cloak of Levitation. He encounters Master Daniel Drumm, who hears commotion downstairs, heading down to face the Zealots attacking the Sanctum, instructing Strange to stay put. Strange, however, chooses to follow.
 * Battle at the New York Sanctum:
 * DS Sanctum Battle whip.png to fight Kaecilius]]Strange witnesses Kaecilius murdering Drumm. He reveals his presence, forcing the Zealots to attack him, and despite the fact that they had trained for years, Strange manages to fight them with little problem, conjuring eldritch whips and shield mandalas of light to protect himself.
 * During the fight, Strange discovers that, due to Dormammu's influence, they are capable to alter the real world outside the Mirror Dimension.
 * He decides to use the Rotunda of Gateways to his advantage, trapping one of Kaecilius' disciples in the desert and the other, Lucian Aster, in the jungle, leaving only himself and Kaecilius to continue fighting through the New York Sanctum.
 * DS Featurette - Magical Objects 1.pngge attempts to intimidate Kaecilius with the Brazier of Bom'Galiath, but he does not use how to use it. Kaecilius throws him into the Cloak of Levitation's glass case, but the cloak wraps itself around Strange's shoulders and helps him in the fight. The cloak guides Strange to the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, allowing him to trap Kaecilius and end the fight.
 * Strange tries to interrogate Kaecilius, but he tells Strange only that time and death are insults, and that the Ancient One extracts powers from the Dark Dimension herself, to obtain extended life.
 * DStrange-StabbedByLucian.jpg]]Soon, Kaecilius notes that Strange's Sling Ring is missing, as Aster makes it back into the Sanctum and stabs Strange with a Space Shard, almost killing him. The Cloak of Levitation protects Strange by attacking Aster and removing the Sling Ring from his hand.
 * Strange uses the Sling Ring to transport himself to Metro-General Hospital, where he calls out Christine Palmer so she can tend to his wounds secretly. Surprised to see Strange again, appearing out of nowhere wearing unusual clothes, and after all this time, Palmer soon begins to tend his wounds as they talk about what was he has been doing during all the time he has been gone.
 * StrangePalmer-MidOperation-Projection.jpg to save him]]Strange apologizes to her for having treated her poorly the last time they saw each other.
 * Duel on the Astral Plane:
 * While Palmer operates on him, Strange projects his astral form and uses it to guide her surgery, leaving her bewildered. Lucian Aster uses his astral form to escape from the Cloak of Levitation, and uses the portal Strange left open so as to follow to Metro-General.
 * Strange discovers Aster in the hospital and a battle ensues between the two of them, disturbing several objects in the physical world as Palmer continues performing the surgery.
 * DStrange-PowerUp-FightingLucian.jpg]]Palmer eventually shocks Strange twice with a defibrillator, which charges up his astral form enough to kill Aster.
 * Strange returns to his body as Palmer finishes her work on his wound. Strange explains that he went to Kamar-Taj in order to heal his wounds, but instead ended up learning magic.
 * Now sufficiently better, Strange decides to return to the New York Sanctum and continue his fight against the Zealots. He shows Palmer the portal he made with his Sling Ring, confirming what he was saying to be completely true.
 * DS Spot 19 - 3.pngge arrives at the New York Sanctum where he meets with the [[Ancient One]] and Karl Mordo, discovering that Kaecilius escaped from the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Impressed by his actions, the Ancient One names him the new protector of the New York Sanctum. However, Strange confronts her about drawing power from the Dark Dimension, causing her to leave abruptly.
 * Battle of the Mirror Dimension:
 * Mordo and Strange argue about the Ancient One, but they are interrupted as Kaecilius and his Zealots return to destroy the Sanctum.
 * Mirror Dimension Battle.pngge drags all of them into the Mirror Dimension so Kaecilius is unable to destroy the Sanctum, and steals his Sling Ring so he cannot escape. Mordo and Strange proceed to run away so they can escape, locking Kaecilius and his Zealots in the Mirror Dimension forever, but Kaecilius and his group start to chase them.
 * Kaecilius distorts the terrain around them so Strange and Mordo cannot reach their portals to escape.
 * The Zealots chase and warp nearby buildings and skyscrapers, causing Strange and Mordo to plummet down the twisting New York City landscape. Kaecilius and the Zealots eventually manage to separate the two before cornering Strange.
 * The Ancient One arrives in time to rescue Strange and Mordo by warping the dimension herself to move them away to safety.
 * DS Promo Clip - 5 Days 2.png]]In doing so, she unintentionally confirms the fact that she draws power from the Dark Dimension as the dimension's symbol appears on her forehead. A battle ensues between her and the Zealots, led by Kaecilius, resulting in her old student stabbing her through one of his Zealots, and pushing her out of the Mirror Dimension and back into the Earth Plane with a Sling Ring, where she falls to a harsh impact on the streets of New York. Strange and Mordo follow through the portal to help her.
 * Strange rushes the Ancient One to Metro-General Hospital where they are received by Christine Palmer, who proceeds to help her in the surgery room along with other members of the hospital.

19th

 * Astral Form Snow.png before she passes away]]A few hours after the surgery began, at 2:42AM, the Ancient One leaves her physical form and goes out onto a balcony, prompting Doctor Strange to astrally project and follow her, realizing what she is doing. The two talk, and she tells him about the Dark Dimension and why she had drawn her power from there, claiming that it was necessary to help protect others. Strange warns that Mordo will not be so understanding of her. The Ancient One also reveals that she has seen the future, and she knows that this is her final moment. She warns Strange of Dormammu's powers, and holds Strange's hand as she watches snowfall over a nighttime New York City, before her form vanishes, signifying her death.
 * In the very early hours of the morning, stunned by the death of his mentor, Stephen Strange washes his hands. He says goodbye to Christine Palmer, before leaving again to fight the Zealots.
 * Kaecilius and his Zealots arrive at the Hong Kong Sanctum where Wong, along with other Masters of the Mystic Arts, is preparing to make a stand. A battle ensues, resulting in the defeat of the Masters and the death of Wong. Kaecilius destroys the Sanctum and prepares to summon Dormammu, who begins to fuse Earth with the Dark Dimension, starting above the remains of the Hong Kong Sanctum.
 * Meanwhile, Strange reunites with Mordo at the New York Sanctum, and they decide to stop Kaecilius and his Zealots together.
 * Battle at the Hong Kong Sanctum:
 * The duo arrive only to find the Sanctum already destroyed, and the Masters who decided to protect it already dead.
 * Doctor Strange EW Screencap 01.jpg reverses time using the Eye of Agamotto]]Knowing that they have no other option, Strange decides to use the Eye of Agamotto, breaking the Natural Laws of Time, to turn back time for the city and reverse what has happened. He frees both himself and Mordo from the time reversal, and the reversal returns Wong and many others from the dead, despite Mordo's protests. However, Kaecilius breaks free of the time reversal as well and a battle breaks out in the rebuilding city. Kaecilius stops Strange from completing the spell, freezing time for the city around them and ensuring that the Dark Dimension will still arrive despite Strange's best efforts. Kaecilius says that Dormammu's arrival could not be stopped anymore, saying that his dimension is "beyond time".
 * Skirmish in the Dark Dimension:Dormammu 3.png
 * Upon hearing Kaecilius' words, Strange figures out a way to defeat Dormammu, and heads to the Dark Dimension, where time is irrelevant. Strange arrives at the Dark Dimension and before he confronts Dormammu, he uses the Eye of Agamotto to create an unending loop.
 * He tells Dormammu he wants to bargain, but the evil entity refuses, killing him many times before Strange reveals that the loop he created has put them in a endless cycle for the whole of eternity; the only trap Dormammu could not escape from, since the Dark Dimension was a place beyond time, and therefore Dormammu has no power over it.
 * Dormammu-doctor-strange-2016.pngually, Dormammu begins begging Doctor Strange to end the time loop, which he does, on the condition that Dormammu banishes himself and the Zealots from Earth forever.
 * Dormammu does this, turning the Zealots and Kaecilius into Mindless Ones and dragging them into the Dark Dimension forever, sealing the portal between the dimensions.
 * Strange returns to Wong and Karl Mordo on Earth.
 * Doctor_Strange_Teaser_32.png leaves the Masters of the Mystic Arts, disillusioned by their dishonest, questionable, and dangerous uses of magic, after having witnessed both Strange and the Ancient One's rash actions be pardoned.
 * Doctor Strange returns to Kamar-Taj with Wong. He replaces the Eye of Agamotto, saying that he is not yet worthy of wielding it; Wong tells him that this is wise, revealing the Eye's true nature as holding an Infinity Stone, a term Strange does not understand.
 * Strange embraces his position as the new protector of the New York Sanctum.
 * Strange puts on his broken watch from Christine Palmer, and, wearing the Cloak of Levitation, looks out on New York City.

22nd

 * The phrase "alternative facts" is used in an interview in the United States of America and becomes well-known in the country.

1st

 * Marine biologists begin exploring the Pacific Ocean for a television show.

2nd

 * BagBak by is released.

3rd

 * Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie come back to the Playground for a restock. Having been in the air for nearly five weeks, they have almost broken the Zephyr One's record.

4th

 * Mackenzie and Coulson take off for their longest flight yet, globetrotting on the Zephyr One for meetings, while keeping track of Johnson.

10th
The total evidence for a February 2008 accident and February 2016 present events: The total evidence for a February 2009 accident and February 2017 present events: The total evidence for a February 2010 accident and February 2018 present events: Overall, when weighing up the value of each piece of evidence and the specificity and making compromises, February 2009/2017 comes out as the strongest option.
 * Tandy Bowen enters a club and spots at a rich young man in the VIP area.Cloak & Dagger: Season 1 is set up in the lead-up to Mardi Gras in February, and includes the 8-year anniversary of the oil rig explosion, tying them explicitly to being exactly 8 years apart, both in February of their respective years. However, the evidence for which years (if the explosion was 2007 and present 2015, explosion 2008 and present 2016, explosion 2009 and present 2017, explosion 2010 and present 2018) is extremely contradictory. The total evidence for a February 2007 accident and February 2015 present events:
 * In First Light, security footage of Tyrone stealing the car radio says "2007-04-18". This does not match as any February, though is closest to February 2007.
 * Jeph Loeb stated about the Marvel Television seasons released between April 27, 2018 and April 26, 2019, "For the most part our stories will take place BEFORE Thanos clicked his fingers," and later made more clear, "The short answer is that the stories that you're seeing, unless otherwise noted, all happen before [... "the Thanos Snap". And we'll continue to be in that place until we find out what happens in Avengers 4,"] Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 released in this period, meaning they are set before Avengers: Infinity War in Spring/early Summer 2018. Since Season 2 takes place explicitly 8 months later in October, then it cannot be later than October 2017, making Season 1 February 2015, 2016, or 2017 - not 2018.
 * In Call/Response, a poster is up at the Wild Red Hawks for an event on "Friday, Jan. 30". January 30th was a Friday in 2015, though it could just be a much older poster left up for commemorative reasons.
 * In First Light, security footage of Tyrone stealing the car radio says "2007-04-18". This does not match as any February, though it would make most sense in-universe for it to be February 2008, with the camera clock set back several months by accident due to something like a reset.
 * In Suicide Sprints, Adina Johnson's vision shows the "missing" dates of her children as being "6/6/08". The closest February is 2008, and this would make sense, for her to still be very anxious about a second child dying 4 months later, and the 6/6/08 actually being the date of her anxiety rather than the date of Billy's death.
 * In Call/Response, Shadow Selves, and Rabbit Hold, it is shown in obituaries that Billy Johnson was born on "August 1, 1990" and died aged "17", with another obituary in Princeton Offense also saying he was 17. If he were born in August 1990, the February where he was 17 would have been 2008.
 * In Princeton Offense, Peter Scarborough's Wikipedia page says, "In 2009, after supervising the Roxxon cleanup effort in New Orleans following an oil rig explosion, Scarborough transitioned to a consulting position." This could potentially work with the accident being February 2008, with cleanup in 2008 and then Scarborough moving on in early 2009.
 * Jeph Loeb's statement as mentioned.
 * Emma Lahana says this is O'Reilly's first case in New Orleans. Nandi Tyler says in Luke Cage: Season 2, Episode 8 - If It Ain't Rough, It Ain't Right, set in August 2017, that O'Reilly has moved to New Orleans. In Ghost Stories, O'Reilly mentions events involving superheroes with her friend Misty Knight in New York, meaning it is after Luke Cage: Season 1 in December 2015. If she moved in February 2016, this fits within this range, though it is implied that O'Reilly left during Knight's time away from the force, which would not work with February 2016 since her time off begins in May 2016.
 * In First Light, a taxi is shown with a "11 17" registration sticker, meaning it should be between November 2015 and November 2017.
 * In Funhouse Mirrors, Stan Bartlett's license plate says "18". This means that if he just renewed it in the last several weeks, it could be February 2016, with an expiry date in early 2018.
 * In First Light, Nathan Bowen's work ID is valid from "30MAR08" to "29MAR10".
 * In Suicide Sprints, Adina Johnson's vision shows Tyrone's date of birth as "8/19/00", although Billy's says "02" which is definitely not his real year of birth, so it can be taken that this is not reliable either. In Call/Response, Season 1, Episode 4, Tyrone say, "My parents look at me like a liar and a thief ever since I was 8. They don't trust me. Not really. You know, ever since that night." If his birthday is indeed August 19, 2000, then the February where he was 8 would be February 2009.
 * Peter Scarborough's Wikipedia page, as mentioned above, supports 2009 more than it does 2008.
 * In Princeton Offense, the oil rig schematics are shown to have been on "9/10/2008", suggesting the accident was after September 10, 2008.
 * Jeph Loeb's statement as mentioned.
 * As mentioned, Emma Lahana says this is O'Reilly's first case in New Orleans and O'Reilly is still in New York in December 2015 but in New Orleans by August 2017. If she moved in February 2017, this is the only February that fits perfectly since it implied that O'Reilly left during Knight's time away from the force, which began in May 2016.
 * The "11 17" taxi registration sticker as mentioned.
 * In First Light, Tyrone has a leaflet for "FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 1st Saturday in May - May 6, 2017", which would work in February 2017.
 * As mentioned, there is an (unreliable) August 2000 date of birth given for Tyrone in Suicide Sprints. In the same episode, Tyrone mentions that he has known Father Delgado for 3 years, which would suggests he is in February of junior year, meaning he was born 16.4-17.4 years ago, so since it is an August and date of birth and currently February, he would be 16.5. 16.5 years after August 2000 gives February 2017.
 * In Call/Response, a magazine says, "Currently chairs a committee in 2017."
 * Stan Bartlett's license plate as mentioned says "18", which means it is between 2016 and 2018.
 * In Colony Collapse, on Mardi Gras, Scarborough references the surname Rand being a name that means you are known to be rich currently, implying Season 1, Episode 10: The Rands are referred to, suggesting Danny Rand is back in the world. Mardi Gras in 2016 was February 6th, before Danny Rand has returned, so it does not fit with 2016, but would make it February 2017 or 2018.
 * The basketball state finals occur days before Mardi Gras. The basketball state finals in Louisiana tend to be early March, and 2017 is the year where Mardi Gras is as close as possible to this, on February 28th.
 * Nathan Bowen's work ID as mentioned.
 * The oil rig schematic revisions as mentioned.
 * In First Light, Lush Life by Leo Islo plays in-universe. This song was put online on March 27, 2017, so the only possible February is 2018.
 * In First Light, Right Now by Vindata plays in-universe. This song was put online on February 22, 2017. This is just 12 days too late to fit with February 2017, so the only possible February is 2018.
 * Tyrone has a "FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 1st Saturday in May - May 6, 2017" leaflet as mentioned, which could work with 2018 if you assume he just left it up for several months after.
 * In Suicide Sprints, Adina Johnson has the book Grief Cottage, which was released August 2017, so the only possible February is 2018.
 * As mentioned, there is an (unreliable) August 2000 date of birth given for Tyrone in Suicide Sprints. In Rabbit Hold, it is shown on a poster and stated that Tyrone is "18". The October where he would be 18 would be October 2018, making Season 1 February 2018.
 * In Princeton Offense, O'Reilly looks at narcotics arrest files that she describes as being from "about 8 years ago", and the files on screen are from "02/18/2010", suggesting this is February 2018.
 * In Princeton Offense, news stories from "hours ago" are real life news stories from September 2017. This does not work for any February, though if it has to suggest one it would be February 2018, because at least those stories have happened by then.
 * Stan Bartlett's license plate as mentioned says "18", which works so long as the plate was registered between February and December 2016.
 * In Ghost Stories, Tyrone's phone says "Thursday, October 5". October 5th was a Thursday in 2017, and was the day of filming. This does not work for any February, though if it has to suggest one it would be February 2018, because it is more likely if the phone has the wrong date that it would be a past date, not a future one, if the phone was accidentally reset or something similar.
 * Scarborough's reference to the Rands as mentioned.
 * In Alignment Chart, an obituary for Kenneth Fuchs says, "Fuchs, aged 32, passed away on February 11, 2018."
 * Tyrone Johnson is scolded by his basketball coach at half time.
 * C&D101 Liam and Tandy in Rick Cotton's house.png young man at the club invites Bowen over, and they drink together. She tells him that she loves private house parties, and he proposes going back to his uncle's house.
 * In the second half of the basketball game, Tyrone Johnson continually receives fouls from the opposing team.
 * Bowen and the rich young man continue to drink back at his uncle's house.
 * Despite the fouls, the referee does not stop the basketball game.
 * Robbery at Rick Cotton's Apartment: The young man makes advances on Bowen, but she stops him. She reveals that she has drugged him so she can rob him, and the man falls to the floor. Bowen opens the door to her boyfriend, Liam Walsh, and the couple loot the house.
 * Tired of receiving so many fouls, Tyrone Johnson loses control and hits the opposition's fouling player. After an exchange of blows, the other players separate the two and Johnson is sent to the bench.
 * Tandy is listening to music.PNG drops Bowen at the abandoned church she lives in. In her makeshift room, she puts on a hoodie - Billy Johnson's, which she kept from 2009 - and takes some drugs that she stole from the rich man. She puts in earphones and starts listening to music.
 * Tyrone Johnson goes to his room, disappointed and angry about what happened at the game. After listening to his parents, angry about the fight, Johnson puts on headphones and lies on the bed, listening to music.

13th

 * Tandy Bowen expresses her anger to Liam Walsh for the little they have raised from their theft, since they have only obtained five hundred dollars. He proposes to her that she go to a party occurring in a forest that evening.
 * In school, Evita Fusilier invites Tyrone Johnson to a party in the woods.
 * CD12.png Bowen arrives back at her real home. With her mother not there, she takes the opportunity and opens the vent, hiding items in a bag stowed away there.
 * Tyrone Johnson arrives at the party in the forest. There, Bowen intentionally collides with him and spills alcohol on his jacket. She cleans it and they introduce themselves. Bowen claims to decide to leave to get towels. Johnson meets with Fusilier and decides to buy her a drink, but realizes that he has been scammed, and Bowen has stolen his wallet.
 * Johnson chases Bowen until they reach a cemetery. When he grabs her by the hand, a light suddenly emerges that sends them both flying apart away. As they get up, she sees that her hand is emitting light, while his hand emits darkness. Bowen asks him if he was the boy on the beach in 2009. She tries to leave and Johnson grabs her arm, but Bowen's hand begins to shine again and lets off a flash of light. She takes the opportunity to hide behind a statue.
 * After having sex with her boyfriend, Tandy Bowen tells Walsh about the accident she had 8 years prior, and that a miraculous hand had saved her.
 * Tyrone Johnson arrives back at his house, enters his room and lies down on his bed, wrapping himself in his dark sheet.

14th

 * When Johnson wakes up, he finds he is not in his room, but in fact on the roof of a Roxxon Corporation building. When he descends the stairs to leave, he notices the policeman who killed his brother walking by, proving to himself that he was not deluded about the murder of his brother 8 years prior, and notes the officer announcing himself as "Connors" on the phone.
 * As Tandy Bowen puts items into her bag, her mother enters the house. She jolts in a sudden hurry to hide the bag and accidentally cuts her hand. After bandaging it and putting the bag away, she welcomes her mother, Melissa, who tells her about her new boyfriend. Tandy touches her mother's hand, then suddenly sees a light, leading into a happy vision reminiscent of her childhood with her parents. Tandy retracts her hand, ending the vision, and asks her mother if she saw the same thing, but Melissa is confused, having not experienced anything.
 * Tyrone Johnson is refused by a cab driver due to his half-naked state, and forced to walk home.
 * CD15.pngon arrives back at his house and searches online for a New Orleans Police Department officer named "Connors", finding pictures of the policeman who killed Billy. At that moment, his mother enters the room and scolds him, revealing that the school called to tell him that he did not turn up. She starts to confront him about how poorly he has been acting in the last few days and he asks her for space, saying that he knows she is overwhelmed and afraid of losing him. The mother and son come to an understanding with each other about her fears over him after losing Billy, then she leaves, simply asking him not to miss school anymore.
 * Tandy Bowen goes to the theater to watch a ballet with tickets she stole from the rich young man.
 * Johnson lies down on his bed. However, he again wakes up to find that he has been teleported - this time into the trunk of a car.
 * Attack on Tandy Bowen: At the end of the ballet performance, Bowen leaves but is cornered by the rich young man whom she stole the tickets from, having come to find her in case she used the tickets. He corners her in the street along with some friends acting as henchmen. They force Bowen into an alley to avoid being seen, and the man asks his friends to leave while he tries to rape her.
 * Ambush on James Connors: Tyrone Johnson realizes he is in the back of Connors' car, and surrounded by cocaine. When Connors pulls up, he jumps out of the trunk and hits the policeman who killed his brother, then fleeing.
 * Dagger.jpeg refuses to surrender to the man, and in her panic, she accidentally forms a dagger of light from her hand, stabbing the man in the stomach and forcing him to back off. The dagger soon disappears, and she escapes.
 * Connors finds Tyrone Johnson in an abandoned building nearby and begins to strangle him. When he does, the room begins to darken for Tyrone and he sees a vision of the officer on the day his brother died, telling another policeman that his uncle will help him cover up killing Billy. The vision ends and Tyrone starts running while Connors shoots at him. Before he can be fatally shot, Tyrone throws himself towards a black canvas and is relieved to find that the dark cover, like his bed sheets, teleports him back to his room along with the bullet Connors fired.
 * Tandy Bowen tries to produce a new dagger, but is unable to do so.
 * Individually, both teenagers look at the garments they took from each other when they were little, on the beach: Bowen puts on the hoodie that Johnson wore, and Johnson inspects Bowen's ballet shoe.

15th

 * 147205 1433 resized.jpgtive Brigid O'Reilly begins to investigate the scene where Tandy Bowen stabbed the rich young man.

GTalbot-ThreatingAssassin.jpg May wakes up and tries to escape before being stopped by Aida, who sedates her once again.
 * "May" and Quake interrogate Zaikin, who reveals that he was not the only terrorist sent to kill Mace.
 * As the team fly in the director's Quinjet, the vehicle is attacked in the air and Burrows falls to his death before the plane crashes, killing agent McCafferty in the process. Coulson, Mackenzie, and Mace are unharmed and realize that the Quinjet's systems were hacked. Figuring out that they are in danger, they decide to leave, but Jeffrey Mace insists that they must first find Burrows' body.
 * At the Playground, Talbot and the others cannot locate the missing S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.The Patriot Quinjet Crash.jpg After Quake, Simmons, and May leave Mace's office, Talbot reports the investigation to the president, telling him that they do not know whether "the package" is safe.
 * Fitz returns to the Playground, and reunites with Simmons, but they soon fall out about his involvement in Aida's design. They put the argument aside for the time-being so that Fitz can help her to locate their friends.
 * Talbot carries on Yuri Zaikin's interrogation but cannot get any information from him. Shortly after, Simmons discovers that she has access to something called "Project Patriot", and she and Fitz ask Talbot about the significance of the suitcase Burrows used to carry around for the director.
 * GTalbot-Frustrated-S4E10.jpg to Fitz and Simmons]]Glenn Talbot reveals that Mace is not really an Inhuman. Instead, he gained his super strength from injections of a serum inspired by Calvin Zabo's Formula, which Burrows carried in the suitcase to administer to Mace regularly.
 * Meanwhile, Coulson, Mace, and Mackenzie discover that the terrorists are using HYDRA equipment. Mace reiterates his insistence on finding Burrows' corpse, but the terrorists already retrieved it, as well as the suitcase. Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie attack the terrorists, but are surprised to see that Mace simply seizes the suitcase and flees, without fighting alongside them. He is stopped by a terrorist who shoots him in the leg, before being killed by Coulson and Mackenzie, who both now realize the truth behind Mace's powers.
 * Patriot-ExplosionLight-TP.jpg obtaining the location of the crash site from Zaikin by scaring him with Aida's decapitated head, May's LMD and Quake arrive at the site just in time to help Phil Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Jeffrey Mace to defeat the Watchdogs. The team manage to take down all the terrorists before returning to the Playground.
 * May's LMD realizes that she is an android after a wound from the battle opened up her skin and revealed her substructure.
 * Fitz downloads the data of Aida's head on his phone to keep working with the data in secret.
 * In his office, Mace apologizes to Coulson, revealing the truth behind his "heroics" at the Bombing of the Vienna International Centre and his work with Talbot in the following months, and he concludes by offering his resignation. Coulson declines, however, and Mace agrees to remain the official director of S.H.I.E.L.D., while Coulson will take leadership of the field operations.

17th

 * Aida and Holden Radcliffe discuss May's fate, and Radcliffe tells Aida that he does not intend to kill May unless it is an absolute necessity.
 * In the new simulation, Melinda May believes that she wakes up once again and manages to get free of her bonds. She is found by AidaWake_Up_12.jpg tries to escape within the simulation]] who chases her through the Radcliffe Residence. Eventually, May discovers that she is still in a simulation where she has been given someone to fight, corresponding better to May's nature than the previous relaxing environment. Aida informs May that she has attempted to escape in this Framework simulation several times and got further and further each time, but that she keeps resetting May's memory every time she 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 will infiltrate Senator Ellen Nadeer's office - an operation to which Glenn Talbot reluctantly agrees.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie receives a text message from Nicole 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 the reason behind Aida turning on them and attacking,JMaceDJohnson-AccordsSigning.jpg prepares to sign the Sokovia Accords]] and talks to "May" about the influence that the Darkhold could have had on her.
 * Jeffrey Mace, Glenn Talbot, and Daisy Johnson attend 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, just 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 must be a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D.
 * Jemma Simmons and May's LMD discuss the leak, and Simmons confronts Fitz about his work on Aida's first version'sJMace-CoulsonYoYoArrest.jpg severed head which he had kept and secretly worked on. Simmons thinks that the footage from the head's eye camera could have provided Nadeer with the intel, but Fitz refutes this, informing the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that he investigated the real cause of Aida's insubordination and finally found it: Holden Radcliffe himself.
 * A team is sent to the Radcliffe Residence, where May's LMD had gone first to confront Radcliffe about her own true nature. The LMD realizes that she cannot go against Radcliffe's secret programming to retrieve the Darkhold, neither can she overcome her programming preventing her from attacking Radcliffe or even disclosing 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 Module 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, as 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, and he shoots the android in the head, revealing its true nature. The real Radcliffe watches the whole scene through the LMD's eye camera while he makes an alliance with Ellen Nadeer and the Watchdogs.
 * In order to prevent May from escaping the simulation, Radcliffe reprograms the Framework world to allow her to live a rewritten life: a life where she can look back happily on the Rescue on Bahrain, having managed to save Katya Belyakov instead of killing her, May's greatest regret.

21st

 * Jeri Hogarth gives an acceptance speech for an award she has received, and talks about empowering women. She then sits down with her business partners, Steven Benowitz and Linda Chao. Benowitz says they are going to settle the lawsuit against their firm, which is being filed by Hogarth's former assistant Pam for having gone to prison for Hogarth and supposedly being harassed by her, exploiting her position as her boss. Hogarth disagrees and says Pam was very consenting and never harassed, but Chao highlights that Pam has a strong case. She talks about how Hogarth's actions stained her and Benowitz's good names and the trouble they are going through trying to restore their reputation.

24th

 * At Al and Cam's Arcade in Duxbury, Massachusetts, the brothers Sam and Billy Koenig are attacked by the Watchdogs led by Tucker Shockley. As Billy is being kidnapped, Sam warns Phil Coulson about the attack.
 * Coulson immediately understands that the attackers are looking for the Darkhold, which he gave to Billy for safekeeping, under Holden Radcliffe's instructions. He then welcomes Sam aboard the Zephyr One.
 * Meanwhile, at the Playground, Leo Fitz repairs Holden Radcliffe's Life-Model Decoy and interrogates him with Alphonso Mackenzie and Jemma Simmons in order to determine where the original Radcliffe is - though they discover that the android's programming is too sophisticated for them to break into. Radcliffe's LMD then angers Fitz by referring to Fitz's abusive father, stating that Radcliffe knew him. Enraged, Fitz unplugs the android and leaves the room.
 * Meanwhile, Billy Koenig is brought into a dark room inside a submarine, where Radcliffe is also being kept, faking imprisonment so as to gain Billy's trust and extract the whereabouts of the Darkhold.
 * However, as Koenig insists in front of the Superior, the leader of the Watchdogs himself, that he is willing to die regardless of any torture he might receive, Radcliffe decides not to torture him, but to look into his mind 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 Koenig then reveals that he knows about the Darkhold because Billy gave it to him, and he then gave it to another Koenig agent, LT Koenig.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. takes LT Koenig aboard the Zephyr One where she talks to Coulson andHRadcliffe-ScanningBKoenig.jpg reviews Billy Koenig's memories]] the others, explaining "Operation Hot Potato": passing the Darkhold back and forth between the three Koenig agents before hiding it in the Labyrinth, a secured S.H.I.E.L.D. facility.
 * Since Billy is the Koenig who had the Darkhold right before hiding it, Radcliffe is able to locate the book from studying his memories. Despite this, 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: he is equipped with a Quantum Brain created by Aida with knowledge from the Darkhold. HPS Quantum Brain.jpg
 * Horrified, Fitz, Simmons, and Mackenzie realize that Radcliffe and Aida created another Quantum Brain inside another LMD: one which has replaced Melinda May.
 * Kidnapping of Billy Koenig: Phil Coulson, Daisy Johnson, May's LMD, and the Koenig siblings arrive at 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, and May's LMD is quickly taken down by Johnson, who was warned by Fitz and Simmons. S.H.I.E.L.D. then fights the Watchdogs but lose the Darkhold, which is taken by Holden Radcliffe.
 * At the Playground, May's LMD is turned off and kept in a safe place, as Daisy Johnson promises to Phil Coulson that they will get the real May back.
 * Meanwhile, Ivanov reveals that he seeks to kill Coulson, claiming that he is at the center of all the alien-related phenomena which have occurred in the past several years.

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. Having to step away from the field, Mace still serves as the public face of S.H.I.E.L.D., arranging the relocation of Inhumans to avoid the Watchdogs.
 * Attack on Ellen Nadeer: Anton Ivanov sends Tucker Shockley to expose Senator Ellen Nadeer to a Terrigen Crystal, since she could also be an Inhuman like her brother. However, it turns out that Nadeer is not an Inhuman, unlike Shockley, who is horrified when he himself undergoes Terrigenesis. As he exits his cocoon, his newly acquired explosive powers emerge as he blows up like a bomb, killing the senator and her staff.
 * Meanwhile, in Caldes de Montbui, Spain, Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie find Agnes Kitsworth, Holden Radcliffe's ex-girlfriend and working partner. Though Radcliffe left her after failing to cure her from a brain cancer, he never forgot Kitsworth, and had built the Life-Model Decoy Aida with an exact resemblance to her.
 * Robert Coleman makes some Internet searches on his laptop.
 * Coulson and Mackenzie convince Kitsworth to arrange a meeting with Radcliffe, so that they can find out Melinda May's location and rescue her.
 * S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a team to investigate Tucker Shockley, unaware of Shockley's true nature. He is arrested and brought aboard the Zephyr One. He prepares to explode again, before being ejected just before he can take down the plane.
 * In Spain, Radcliffe attends the meeting with Kitsworth and persuades her that he has a way to save her: the Framework, a whole virtual rebuilding of the real world, built by Aida, thanks to the knowledge found in the Darkhold. Radcliffe, much to Coulson's dismay, takes Kitsworth with him to connect her to the Framework.
 * Kidnapping of Jeffrey Mace: A field mission is planned to capture Shockley, and the team carry it out, successfully trapping him in a containment sphere designed by Leo Fitz. Mace, however, is taken down and captured by the Watchdogs while ensuring the other agents' escape.
 * Agnes Kitsworth's consciousness is uploaded into the Framework. She wakes up in a private place located away from civilization, where she can live completely in peace, even if her body perishes in the real world.
 * Phil Coulson resolves to save both May and Mace.

28th
So, the season firmly begins in April 2017, with the majority set in May 2017, and the "5/5/2017" date matching the evidence nicely. This means that the main events of the season, from Trish Walker talking to Ian up to Alisa Jones' death, transpire from April 28, 2017 to May 30, 2017.
 * Agnes Kitsworth's body dies. A funeral is arranged by Holden Radcliffe.
 * Trish Walker finishes a Trish Talk broadcast and talks with her friend and business associate, Ian. They talk about the sliding ratings of the show, and he urges her to go back to discussing lifestyle topics to save it and get a bigger reach.In AKA Take a Bloody Number, it is shown that the medical bills for Jessica Jones following her family's car crash are from "04/13/00". This would suggest that the accident was soon before this date. This fits with the fact that when Jones looks at her diary from her old home in AKA Top Shelf Perverts, it is shown to have been her "1996-1999" diary, with infrequent entries, the last of which was in September 1999. A 2000 date for the car crash was supported by Season 2, when, in Episode 1 - AKA Start at the Beginning, Phillip Jones' ashes box says "Birth/Death Year: 1990-2000", and when, in Episode 2 - AKA Freak Accident and Episode 3 - AKA Sole Survivor, it is show on death certificates that Brian Jones was born in "1954" and died aged "46", Alisa Jones was born in "1956" and died aged "44", and Phillip Jones was born in "1990" and died aged "10" (which was his age at death given in AKA WWJD? as well). Throughout Season 2, the car crash is referred to many times as being "17 years" ago, placing this firmly in 2017. 3 dates appear in the season, contradictory to each other (there is no possible way to make any of them fit together) - a "5/5/2017" date in AKA Sole Survivor, a "Thursday, June 1" date in AKA The Octopus, and a "Wednesday, July 5" date in AKA Facetime. The "Wednesday, July 5" does not work because it is explicitly the day after a "Sunday", and neither the "Thursday, June 1" nor "Wednesday, July 5" dates work since Nichelle tells Malcolm in AKA Facetime that it is "3 more months till [her] master's". A master's cannot be taken later than August, making this no later than May. The "5/5/2017" date, however, lines up with the evidence:
 * The scene with Nichelle, a little later in the month, would work as being 3 months until Nichelle's master's in August.
 * It is just over 3 days since the Empire State Building was shown lit up green - the building was lit up green on the night of May 1st for mental health awareness, and this is now the night of May 4th-5th (early hours of the 5th).
 * It is a Thursday-Friday night, matching with it being a "school night" and the next morning being a Trish Talk day, with Trish Talk being a "weekday" show.
 * It works with the weather, starting colder but, by Episode 4 - AKA God Help the Hobo, becoming hot.
 * Melissa Rosenberg stated that the season picks up 6 months to a year after Marvel's The Defenders: Season 1, and April 2017 is 11 months after the season.
 * Jessica Jones takes pictures from afar of Pryce Cheng meeting with clients, hoping to find dirt on him, but he notices her hiding.
 * Malcolm Ducasse is fixing up the Alias Investigations Office when Walker arrives to wait with him for Jones. When Jones arrives, Walker says she found something of hers, and places a box on Jones's desk. Jones is angry, and when Ducasse asks why, she explains that the box contains her family's ashes. Ducasse leaves, and Walker says they need to honor the other victims and look for IGH, but Jones accuses Walker of only wanting ratings for her show. She refuses to investigate what happened as she is desperate to forget the crash, and insists Walker let it go, saying that if she does not, she will have to cut her out of her life.
 * Trish Walker leaves Jones' office, and is again secretly watched by Will Simpson, dressed a black hoodie. Simpson takes an inhaler.
 * Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons present a small, earlier version of the Framework to the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to demonstrate the kind of trap in which Melinda May is imprisoned, saying that Holden Radcliffe likely built a much more powerful version of that alternate reality for her.
 * Afterwards, the team receive word that the Patriot Suit's GPS signal has been spotted in Nome, Alaska.

Real World

 * Jessica Jones researches the client she photographed visiting Pryce Cheng in his office, and finds the man is looking for his missing dog despite him winning custody over the pet when he divorced his wife. She takes out the boxes of her family's ashes and looks at them while drinking.
 * The agents fly to the new destination, where they find the suit, but not the Patriot. They also discover a wall covered with newspaper articles and photographs retracing the life of a single individual: Phil Coulson.
 * Daisy Johnson explains that a picture of a mining facility in Russia could link Coulson to Anton Ivanov, the man who bought the facility.
 * Jeffrey Mace, who is imprisoned in a naval base in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, manages to break free of his chains and tries to escape, but is soon found by Ivanov, the Superior. Without his super strength, Mace is quickly overpowered by his captor and brought back to his cell, where the Superior interrogates him.
 * The Superior then leaves the cell with Aida, and tells her that each one of them has a purpose in life, even "filth" like Mace.
 * The S.H.I.E.L.D. team heads to Russia, while Alphonso Mackenzie and Fitz argue about the latter's responsibility for their recent problems. Coulson remembers the time he was sent on a mission with Melinda May to retrieve an 0-8-4 many years ago, and how it might connect to the Superior.
 * Meanwhile, Phil Coulson and his team finds the same safe that he and May had cracked in the past, and they discover the skeletons of several SVR soldiers, with one skull containing a ringing cell phone. Coulson takes the call and finally speaks with the Superior, who blames Coulson for the deaths of the soldiers from his unit in 2003. Ivanov then tells Coulson that Mace and May will suffer the same fate of his former colleagues. After hanging up, he tells Mace about his belief that Coulson having engineered all alien-related events on Earth in the past few years.
 * The S.H.I.E.L.D. team returns on the Zephyr One, where they try to locate Mace and May. Using the intel provided by Ivanov, they learn about the Krasnoyarsk Krai naval base. They immediately fly to the base and begin their infiltration, with Fitz and Simmons taking over the communications room while Coulson, Johnson, and Mackenzie search for their captured friends.
 * Jessica Jones wakes up at her desk, with Malcolm Ducasse in her kitchen, who gives her a package that has been sent by Cheng Consulting. Jones answers an urgent knock at the door, only to find the man who previously visited her for help, "Whizzer", who is spouting more stories of people trying to kill him, but she shuts the door in his face. Jones opens the package from Cheng, which contains all his information and message saying, "I am an open book," telling her to give up trying to find leverage on him as there is none. Jones also realizes a potential client has hired Cheng instead of her, and becomes angry. She remembers Cheng's client's missing dog, and realizes she can steal a client from Cheng in return.
 * Coulson soon encounters Ivanov, who proceeds to tell him the story of his unit from 2003, and how they were executed for not being able to retrieve the 0-8-4. However, Coulson dismisses Ivanov's speech as irrelevant,since he only cares about finding Mace and May. He then lets Johnson fight Ivanov while he leaves to continue searching. Coulson and Mackenzie find Mace, who is being beaten up by several Watchdogs.
 * Robert Coleman comments on the Trish Talk website again.
 * Though Ivanov is a tough opponent, Johnson is able to overpower him with her Inhuman powers, and buries him under a pile of rubble.
 * Meanwhile, Fitz and Simmons learn that Aida is present at the base. Simmons decides to find her with Agent Davis while Fitz remains in the communication room.
 * Phil Coulson, Jeffrey Mace, Leo Fitz, and Alphonso Mackenzie are replaced by Life-Model Decoy copies of their respective likenesses, and placed in the Framework.

Real World

 * While their communications are briefly cut, Simmons figures out that Aida fled with the submarine. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents finally regather and Coulson orders them to return to the Playground, despite not rescuing Melinda May.
 * Back at base, Simmons struggles to understand the timetable of the mission, feeling that something does not seem right. While sharing these feelings with Fitz, she receives an alert from a Life-Model Decoy detector in the base which indicates that four agents have apparently been replaced by androids while battling the Watchdogs in Russia. Simmons is led to believe that this is Coulson, Mace, Johnson, and Mackenzie.
 * Meanwhile, Aida retrieves Ivanov, who is barely alive following his fight with Quake.
 * Coulson's LMD reactivates May's LMD.
 * Aida proceeds with her plan to have someone protecting the Framework while she tries to make herself human. She cuts Ivanov 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 does not know that Johnson is not an LMD, but 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 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 healed and ready for the next mission.
 * Mack's LMD and Johnson contact Yo-Yo Rodriguez and order her to get ready for being collected.
 * 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 as she realizes she has just got her boyfriend to slice an artery. She 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, and he asks her why there were changes to the reality of the Framework while he was in there.
 * Aida reveals that the changes 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. He worries further 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:
 * 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. She 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. Johnson dresses as one of the LMDs and hides herself among the fleet.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie's LMD enters the module with the intention to kill Johnson. He spots an LMD with her clothing imperfect, and believes it to be the real Johnson. As he moves to attack, however, the real Johnson assaults him from behind, defeating him and running away.
 * Simmons Reunites Quake.pngon and Simmons meet, and are terrified that the other is lying and is secretly an LMD. Johnson quakes her, proving that she is not one, as they cannot replicate Inhuman powers, and simultaneously proving Simmons is also real as she feels the vibrations of her bones.

However, the landlord says Jones has been very rude to him in the past, and he is happy to see her go.

 * Jessica Jones is visited by Jeri Hogarth at Alias Investigations. Hogarth tells Jones about Pryce Cheng's legal complaint against her. Jones gets angry at Hogarth for backing him, but she replies that things have changed. Hogarth reveals she has been diagnosed with ALS, and probably has 2 to 8 years to live. She reveals that her partners are trying to kick her out of her firm and wants Jones to find dirt on them, and Jones agrees to do so.
 * Trish Walker is about to end a Trish Talk broadcast, but decides first to make up a story about a new series they will be running on doctors, saying that she wants to talk with a woman named Leslie Hansen, asking listeners for information on her whereabouts. Just as Walker is about to leave the station, a woman claiming to be Hansen herself calls and sets up a meeting between them in a bar.
 * At Walker's apartment, Jessica Jones insists on going to meet Hansen instead of her. Walker refuses, but Jones, having anticipated this, reveals she has called the paparazzi and told them that she got into a fight with Sinclair to trap her as she cannot leave without being swarmed.
 * Jones meets "Leslie Hansen" at the bar she specified. "Hansen" is uneasy, saying she agreed to talk with Walker and not Jones, but Jones insists that "Hansen" will talk to her. "Hansen" says that IGH are good people, having saved Jones' life. Jones replies that they put a body in her basement and killed Kozlov and Coleman, but "Hansen" posits that they might just be protecting their reputation.
 * Malcolm Ducasse arrives at Walker's apartment, sent by Jones to ensure that Walker does not leave. He tries to get her to talk about Max Tatum, but she shuts down the conversation. Walker then gets a call from Maury Tuttlebaum, who has identified the human skull found in the furnace, informing her it is a woman named Leslie Hansen. Realizing Jones is in danger, as the woman she is with is therefore not Hansen, Walker implores Ducasse to distract the paparazzi while she gets a car from out the back. Ducasse tells the photographers that Walker is at Griffin Sinclair's place, and all but one of the paparazzi rush off in hurry. Ducass then gets into Walker's car, but the one remaining paparazzo follows them.
 * Escape from Jessica Jones:
 * At the bar, "Hansen" defends IGH as heroes, saying that they brought Jones back from the dead, since she had died on the operating table after the car accident. She insists they were always trying to save lives, and that the powers were merely a side effect. Jones says they should have let her die with her family, which angers "Hansen", who snaps that she should be incredibly grateful to them, and that she survived for a reason. Jones says that if she did survive for a reason, it was so she could take her and IGH down, and "Hansen" panics and tries to leave. Jones uses her powers to push the table and stop her, but the woman then reveals herself to have similar powers to Jones', using strength to push the table back. She runs, but Jones catches her. The woman, however, manages to trip Jones and hurl her across the room, then runs.
 * As "Hansen" leaves the restaurant, Trish Walker and Malcolm Ducasse arrive outside, with the paparazzo still following them, taking pictures. Jones comes out, and "Hansen" makes a huge leap across the street and onto the top of a building to get away. Jones gives up on trying to follow her, but instead takes the photographer's camera, on which the man had managed to take several photos of the woman. Inspecting them, Jones realizes she has got a lead to follow.

 * Jessica Jones attends a mandatory anger management class after attacking Pryce Cheng. The other attendees tell their stories in turn while bouncing a rubber ball against the wall.

She gets up and throws the ball against the wall while angrily telling her, story: her family being killed in a car accident, being experimented on, how she was abducted and raped, and forced to kill someone. She ends by throwing the ball so hard against the wall that it creates a hole and breaks into pieces. Scared of her, the head signs the court order and Jones leaves.
 * Returning to her office, Jones gets angry at Malcolm Ducasse for letting Trish Walker out of her apartment the night before, especially as now the press (who got photos of Walker and Ducasse together) are calling him Walker's supposed new boyfriend. Jones looks at the photos of the fake "Leslie Hansen", trying to find a clue, but finds it is hard to concentrate with Oscar Arocho and his ex-wife arguing loudly in Apartment 6F. Despite this, Jones notices that Hansen was wearing a wig.
 * Jones calls Walker, who is dealing with the press in the aftermath of being pictured with Ducasse. Jones asks her about wigs, explaining that "Hansen" was wearing one. Stating it to have been a good wig, since she had not noticed it, Walker speculates that it must be human hair, narrowing down their search as there are only three human hair wig shops in New York City. Jones agrees to meet her at one of them, and hangs up.
 * Oscar Arocho's son Vido enters Jones' office, not wanting to be around his arguing parents. He asks the private investigator about her powers, while Jones yells down the hallway to inform them that Vido is with her. When she is not looking, Vido climbs onto her windowsill and crouches on the outside, asking if she could save him if he fell. Jones yells at him to get off and he is startled, causing him to lose his balance and slip. Jones runs and catches him, pulling him up into the room just as his parents arrive. Vido's mother is angry, seeing it as another reason for her to have custody of him over Oscar, and drags her son away. Oscar angrily reminds Jones she has 25 days left before she is evicted, before running after them.
 * Trish Walker and Griffin Sinclair kiss in front of the press to prove they are still a couple and then enter the Trish Talk station, talking about Walker's future. Sinclair offers her a place at his company, but Walker says she wants to earn her career developments and not just be seen as his girlfriend all the time.
 * Pryce Cheng confronts Jeri Hogarth at her office, asking her why she stopped backing him on his charges against Jones. Hogarth tells him he should stop fighting battles he cannot win, and says he will not find anything on Jones. Cheng informs her that he has hired a new firm and hopes she sorts out what is wrong with her.
 * Jones and Walker meet at the wig shop, and Walker pays the owner, Sally, $300 to give them information on "Hansen". Sally confirms the woman as one of her customers and explains that the woman comes in alone, pays in cash, and had lost all her hair, positing it to have been due to chemotherapy. Jones speculates that "Hansen" was probably saved by IGH after being diagnosed with cancer, and also that if they found her through Metro-General Hospital, IGH was probably paying her medical bills. The women set out to get her hospital records.
 * Outside, in Walker's car, Walker shows Jones the video Malcolm Ducasse took of her and Max Tatum, saying they could use it as leverage against him and use his clearance at the hospital to get the records. Jones points out that her threats clearly have not been effective as Walker gave Tatum 2 days and it has already been 3, with no results. Planning on blackmailing him further, the duo head off to his movie set.
 * Trish Walker and Jessica Jones find a young actress currently starring in Tatum's latest film and show her Ducasse's video, revealing his history of sexual assault. She quits, much to Tatum's dismay.

 * Jones and Walker confront Tatum at his car. Jones uses her strength to pin him to his car and threaten him until he agrees to give them his clearance at Metro-General Hospital.
 * Jones is working in her office when she gets a call from Jeri Hogarth. Hogarth asks about her progress in digging up dirt on her partners, Chao and Benowitz, but Jones says she has more important things to deal with. She lets her know, however, that she has at least looked into their financial records, but Hogarth tells her to dig deeper as her partners are smarter than to leave evidence in their finances.
 * Oscar Arocho approaches Jones in her apartment. He apologizes, saying Vido told him what happened, and that he cannot express how grateful he is that she saved his son's life. He says he has dropped her eviction and leaves her with a bottle of whiskey, but she invites him inside to drink with her.
 * Griffin Sinclair and Trish Walker have sex back at her apartment, and Walker says she is grateful for Sinclair sticking around, unlike ex-boyfriends. She leaves the bed to take a shower, and Sinclair's phone rings. He waits until he hears the water running before talking, and says to the caller that Walker "doesn't know anything", saying, "Let's keep it that way."
 * Arocho and Jones share the whiskey on her couch and discuss her powers. He explains that he does not hate people like her, but admits he just hated her in particular. They start to bond, and eventually Jones starts to kiss him, which he reciprocates. She attempts to initiate sex, but Arocho backs away, saying that she is moving too fast. He leaves.

7th

 * Jessica Jones leaves her apartment and heads for the elevator when Malcolm Ducasse approaches her in the hallway. He tells her about how Pryce Cheng offered him a place at his firm in exchange for information on her.

She claims that if the doctor gives her nothing, she will go to a drug dealer in Amsterdam if she has to, but the doctor still insists she can do nothing.
 * At Walker's apartment, she and Jessica Jones look into the people who had their medical bills paid for by IGH: Jones herself, Whizzer, and a woman named Inez Green, whom they speculate to be the person who posed as Leslie Hansen, and the person who killed Kozlov, Whizzer, and Will Simpson. They look her up and find that she is homeless. By looking into her they find misdemeanor citations and are able to narrow down which streets she might be living on. Walker brings the arsenal bag she obtained from Will Simpson's trunk, including the drugs he took and a powerful taser, as they leave to look for Green.
 * Jones and Walker ask around the neighborhood and a man tells them which building Inez Green lives in. Jones goes upstairs to draw her out while Walker waits downstairs with the taser to ambush her. As Jones searches, she is attacked by Green from behind, but is able to defend herself. Walker, hearing her shouts, takes the inhaler Simpson was using in hopes of helping her, and runs upstairs with the taser, shocking Green and knocking her out. They discover, however, that she is not the woman they are looking for.
 * A friend of Pryce Cheng, Nick Spanos, breaks into the Alias Investigations Office and takes down all the photos Jones put up for her case, stealing them. Malcolm Ducasse also comes in with his one-night stand, who is looking for alcohol, but the robber sneaks past them and leaves.

Meanwhile, the hallucinations of Kilgrave continue to disturb Jones, as he personifies Jones' troubled subconscious.

 * Trish Walker sees a news report on the traffic accident. Detective Costa insists that Jessica Jones might be helping her mother to escape, but Walker claims that this is not possible, as Jessica would not help someone who is a killer, and who specifically tried to kill her.

26th
There are very few soccer games on in late June, so it is hard to believe that there were games on consecutive days. Therefore, the game playing in the scene before the push-ups on the 27th and the game playing in the scene after the push-ups on the 27th has to be assumed to be the same game, with Fitz muting or turning it off in the middle for push-ups. Therefore, these scenes are either side of the push-ups on the 27th. There isn't an obvious match that it could be which he is watching, but it can be assumed that the soccer schedule between seasons in the MCU is not identical to the real world.
 * Leo Fitz trains again, doing push-ups in his cell.In Rewind, after the scene where Fitz has 28 monkey faces on his wall (reasoned as June 10th), a scene transpires where Fitz eats and looks at Simmons' file. The next scene then shows him doing push-ups. This is followed by a scene where he scrunches up a piece of work, followed by another push-up scene. He then gets angry about a free kick, and then there is a final push-up scene, before the scene with his 49th monkey face, on June 30th. Last time the monkeys were shown, they were in rows of 4 (incomplete row), 7 | (line on the wall) 7, 7, 3 (incomplete row). In all 3 push-up scenes, it now appears that the 4th row above the line on the wall is 6 (incomplete row). This would suggest that it is 6, 7, 7, 7 | 7, 7, 3-7. It is unknown whether Fitz has added to that bottom row we previously saw incomplete or just left it as an incomplete row of 3. The scene after, with the 49th monkey face, shows that the bottom row has indeed been filled out, so he must have filled it at some point over this time. By distribution, we can approximate that ((1 - 0.5) ÷ 3) × 4 = roughly 1 of the missing 4 has been filled out in the 1st scene, ((2 - 0.5) ÷ 3) × 4 = 2 have been filled out in the 2nd, and ((3 - 0.5) ÷ 3) × 4 = roughly 3 in the 3rd scene. This would mean there is approximately a total of 45, 46, and 47 monkeys respectively in the 3 push-up scenes, thus making them approximately June 26th, 27th, and 28th.

27th

 * Attack on Luke Cage Heroin Warehouse: Luke Cage, the defender of Harlem, discovers another location of a drug warehouse where heroin imprinted with his name is being made to tarnish his reputation. Cage manages to take down the facility, but knows that this will be ineffective as for every hideout destroyed, another seems to take its place.Luke Cage: Season 2 takes place in August-September of its respective year, which is evident from the West Indian Day Parade in The Creator. While there is some evidence for 2016 and 2018, however, ultimately it can be placed as August-September 2017. Claire Temple is still studying Misty Knight's arm, and Misty Knight is not used to having no arm; not much has happened with Mariah Dillard and Shades since You Know My Steez; Dillard speaks to Luke Cage in Soul Brother #1 as if she has not seen him since he was released from prison. These all suggest that it has not been long since Luke Cage: Season 1 in December 2015 and The Defenders: Season 1 in May 2016, so ideally August-September 2016. Plus, Foggy Nelson says the Destiny's Child bar mitzvah from May 2005 was "a decade ago", which would suggest 2016 ideally. However, SC6 is on TV, which started on February 6, 2017; "alternative facts" are referenced, a phrase that became popular after January 22, 2017; Bad and Boujee is referenced, released October 28, 2016; Amanda Nunes vs. Ronda Rousey has happened, making this later than December 31, 2016; Misty Knight's car, in the August-set portion of the season, has a "9 18" car registration sticker, making it at least September 2016; Cage has The Force by Don Winslow, only released on June 20, 2017; This Is Us is already well-known and has aired multiple episodes, making it at least October 2016; the "bend the knee" phrase from Game of Thrones is used, first mentioned in Season 7, Episode 3 on July 30, 2017; a car is shown during a gunfight Misty Knight engages in with an "11 18" registration sticker, meaning it is after November 2016; Sheldon's car has a "3 19" registration sticker, meaning it is after March 2017; D.W. Griffith says, "Personally I haven't felt this weird since November 9th," meaning it is after the November 9, 2016 election; the Marvel Netflix seasons have always been set after each previous one, implying it should be after Jessica Jones: Season 2, so after June 2017; Emma Lahana says that Cloak & Dagger: Season 1 is just after O'Reilly has moved from New York to New Orleans, and it is set in February 2017, so she moved in early 2017, and she is referred to as being already in New Orleans. These all prove that the season is set in at least August-September 2017, not 2016. All the things suggesting 2016 also have leniency. There is some evidence for 2018. When Mariah Dillard checks her bank account, it says, "Next Statement Sept 1, 2018". Statements are usually monthly, suggesting it is currently August 2018. Shades also has a "6 20" registration sticker, which would make it at least June 2018. However, SC6 is on TV, which ended on February 2, 2018 (although that was likely something that could not have been predicted during filming, so it is not necessarily the intention that this evidence would place it before February 2, 2018); Shades' car has a "1 18" registration making it no later than January 2018; Jeph Loeb stated about the Marvel Television seasons released between April 27, 2018 and April 26, 2019, "For the most part our stories will take place BEFORE Thanos clicked his fingers," and later made more clear, "The short answer is that the stories that you're seeing, unless otherwise noted, all happen before [... "the Thanos Snap". And we'll continue to be in that place until we find out what happens in Avengers 4,"] also specifying, "Certainly Luke Cage takes place before the infamous snap", all placing the season prior to Avengers: Infinity War in Spring/early Summer 2018; the Marvel Netflix seasons have always been set after each previous one, implying it should be before Iron Fist: Season 2, so before October 2017; Matt Murdock is referred to as being dead, meaning it must be before he is revealed to be alive, which is also October 2017. These app rove that the season is set no later than August-September 2017, not 2018. Overall, 2017 works best. The Yankees are also playing a doubleheader 5 days before the West Indian Parade, which happened in 2017 - August 30th - and not in 2016 or 2018. As well as this, D.W. Griffith's line, "Personally I haven't felt this weird since November 9th," implies specifically that the November 9, 2016 election is the last "November 9th", making this September 2017.

Shades suggests that Dillard should change her mind about selling their business, saying they could sell her painting instead, but Dillard refuses, noting that if their deal with "Piranha" Jones is successful then all of the sins of the Stokes family would wash away, allowing them to live without any risk.

Cage tries to apologize, only to hear from Temple that she thinks she needs a break from their relationship, as the anger is reminding her of her parents when she was a child.

 * Escape from Muspelheim:
 * Thor Ragnarok Teaser 2.png]]Thor has allowed himself to be captured by Surtur in order to obtain more information about the Infinity Stones, after not finding anything in the last 2 years. He tells the story of his current predicament to a skeleton who sits with him in his cell.While the evidence for the placement of Thor: Ragnarok suggests it is set roughly in real time, Kevin Feige specifically said, "And I think there's a presumption, "Well if the movie came out in November 2017, it must take place in November 2017" - which is not the case." Therefore, the placement must come purely from the evidence presented, uninfluenced by real time. In Thor: Ragnarok, Thor says, "Sokovia, Ultron, that was 2 years ago." Banner asks, "I've been Hulk for 2 years?", and he replies, "I'm afraid so." Then, later, Banner mentions (from Thor's information) that he was "trapped for 2 years inside of a monster." These refer to it being 2 years since the Battle of Sokovia, dated to May 6, 2015. It has been stated many times, (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) that the events of the film pick up 2 years after the climax or ending of Avengers: Age of Ultron, in May-June 2015. Tom Hiddleston also said, "It's been 4 years since Thor: The Dark World, and Loki is pretending to be Odin." This would place the film 4 years after the end of Thor: The Dark World in November 2013. Overall, the maths weighing up this evidence places the film around July 2017, a little over 2 years after Avengers: Age of Ultron, nearly 4 years after Thor: The Dark World. However, Avengers: Infinity War places itself firmly in March 2018, by all the evidence given for its placement by the film itself and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. This would suggest around 8 months between the films, but the films seem very much to take place only a few months apart, due to implications from the dialogue in the Thor: Ragnarok credits scene, the identical state of the Asgardians, and the fact the characters are physically no different (hair, beards, outfits, etc.). Overall, the math places Thor: Ragnarok as occurring around mid-to-late November 2017, 4 months before Avengers: Infinity War. The specifics of the math can be found here.
 * Surtur lowers Thor from his cage to hang from chains in front of him. However, Thor only laughs at Surtur, claiming that Odin defeated him thousands of years ago. Surtur tells Thor that Ragnarök has been set in motion, and nothing is going to prevent it now that Odin has been absent from Asgard, to Thor's surprise and confusion.

 * Strange, in turn, reveals that he knows where Odin is.

 * Thor and Valkyrie hold off Hela while Loki goes to the Odin's Vault to retrieve Surtur's crow. While in the vault, Loki notices the Tesseract on its pedestal.
 * Thor_Ragnarok_Teaser_40.png]]Some of Hela's Berserker soldiers climb on board the Asgardian ship as it tries to leave. Skurge reveals himself, using his guns "Des" and "Troy" to take them down.
 * Skurge then proceeds to confront Hela on the Rainbow Bridge. He redeems himself in sacrifice as Hela kills him, but the ship makes it to safety because of his heroic actions.
 * Loki secretly retrieves the Tesseract, then places Surtur's crown in the Eternal Flame to resurrect him to his full, true power.
 * Destruction of Asgard:
 * Суртур (199999).jpg Thor fights Hela, she says that he will not defeat her, to which he replies that while he cannot, Surtur can. As Loki escapes, Surtur erupts from Asgard and begins laying waste to the helpless city before him.
 * Hulk leaps at Surtur to attack him, but is knocked back to the bridge. Thor and Valkyrie convince Hulk to abandon the monster he so desperately wants to fight and help them jump onto the Asgardians' ship instead.
 * Hela attempts to continue to fight as Surtur, as foretold in the prophecy, thrusts his blade straight through Asgard. Hela is presumed dead under the impact and the structures of Asgard come crashing down in fire.
 * Surtur Destroys Asgard.png Revengers and Asgardian survivors watch on from the ship as Asgard is utterly destroyed. The realm is obliterated in an explosion, reduced to rocks and ashes before their eyes.

Sakaar - Day 28

 * The Grandmaster emerges from a hiding spot and addresses the Sakaarans about their revolution. He desperately uses one last remaining trick, attempting to seem clever, and to convince the rebels that they have benefited each other - that they could not have had their rebellion if not for him. The Grandmaster then suggests that perhaps they "call it a tie".

Outside of Sakaar

 * Thor wears a new eye-patch to cover his missing right eye. Loki visits him, surprising Thor when he reveals that he has actually come in person, rather than as a conjured image. The two brothers share a moment, acknowledging the maturity and begrudging respect they have reached in their relationship.
 * Thor walks among the people he has saved, who make way for him to walk through to the seat at the forefront of the ship. He reaches the chair, serving as the new throne, and finally assumes his mantle as the new king of Asgard.
 * The group wonder where the Asgardian people should travel to to rebuild Asgard. Thor makes the decision, and the ship sets off for their destination: Earth.

24th

 * Fitz receives the December 2017 edition of Ballblaster Hooligan, publishing another of his letters for the sixth consecutive time.

25th

 * On his 197th morning in prison, Fitz is taken for another session of questioning.
 * In the interrogation room, Leo Fitz is confronted by Lieutenants Evans and Lucas, who remind him that in the last 6 months, he has not brought them a single plausible theory. Fitz posits in sincerity that his friends may, in fact, have been abducted by aliens. Tired of his failures and finding this theory ridiculous, the lieutenants' superior, General Hale, enters and angrily threatens to have him locked up for good. However, at that moment, she receives a call informing her that Fitz's "attorney" has arrived and is demanding to see his client.
 * Fitz's supposed attorney enters the room, and Fitz is relieved to see that it is in fact Lance Hunter, who picked up on the messages he left him in Ballblaster Hooligan. Once they are left alone, they talk briefly and begin to argue, with Fitz saying Hunter took too long, but in the end Fitz hugs him, happy to see him after over a year-and-a-half of Hunter being unable to contact them.
 * Escape from Blue Raven Ridge:
 * Hunter reveals to Fitz that the place they are in is a military compound, and informs him that he plans to break him out. Fitz begins to tell him a plan he came up with for escape, but Hunter simply detonates one of the walls, allowing them to leave the room, having already put a plan in place.
 * Hunter's associate, Rusty Peltzer, attempts to distract the military by flying a helicopter overhead. However, Peltzer clumsily loses control of the vehicle and crashes to the ground, dying in an explosion.
 * The crash nonetheless causes a distraction, and the duo take the opportunity to get away, escaping in an RV that Peltzer had given to Hunter.
 * Lieutenants Lucas and Evans inform their boss, General Hale, that there was nothing suspicious in Fitz's letters and that they therefore do not know how he managed to make contact with someone on the outside. They then show Hale that they have found footage of the van the duo escaped in, and Hale orders them to track the pair, but not to engage them.
 * Hunter gives Fitz back his cell phone, and he scrolls through articles, finding that the news is still reporting S.H.I.E.L.D. as a hostile organization following the attack on the international inquiry by a Daisy Johnson LMD. He asks Hunter about Bobbi Morse, and Hunter reveals that they are still a couple, but are taking some time apart to operate individually. Fitz then mentions that the only lead they have on the agents' abduction is a beer van outside Rae's Restaurant from that night, and Hunter tells him that Rusty Peltzer kept equipment for tapping into security footage in the back of the RV.
 * Fitz rushes to look at Peltzer's tech, but when he does, he discovers that the security footage blacked out during his friends' abduction. He realizes, however, that several similar vans appearing in security footage before and after the abduction may in fact be the one same van, somehow changing its appearance, and confirms this using a structural analysis that proves they are identical. Following the van's route using the security footage, they track the person responsible back to his home.
 * Hunter and Fitz drive to the abductor's house and raid the home, finding a man inside and holding him at gunpoint. He calmly introduces himself as Enoch, an alien Chronicom, and explains that the group are in the year 2091, saying that a "seer" told him about needing to send the agents to the future, as well as that Fitz needed to stay behind. Fitz becomes aggressive, pressuring Enoch to reveal who and where the seer is, and the alien tells them he will take them to see her.
 * Fitz and Hunter are taken to meet the seer in a park, finding that she is Robin Hinton, Charles Hinton's daughter, who has undergone Terrigenesis at a young age and acquired abilities to see past, present, and future, similar to her father's foresight. She is sitting with her mother, Polly, who Fitz remembers from the incident last year. He introduces himself to the two of them.
 * Meanwhile, Evans and Lucas track Fitz and Hunter to Enoch's house and break in to investigate. They find no one present, but discover a child's drawings in the kitchen, depicting the two of them in the kitchen in the exact same scenario they are currently in. Evans realizes that their suspicions that S.H.I.E.L.D. had some sort of foreseeing technology were incorrect, as in fact, the seer is a child.
 * The two lieutenants manage to track down Fitz, Hunter, Enoch, and the Hintons and arrive at the park. However, using the same Chronicom technology he used to capture the S.H.I.E.L.D. team 6 months prior, Enoch immobilizes them where they stand for half an hour, so as to allow them to escape. When lieutenants return to consciousness and mobility, it is as if no time has passed and the group vanished, but Lucas realizes what happened to them after checking his watch.
 * Enoch drives the group to the location where the other agents are staying in 2091: the Lighthouse at Lake Ontario.

26th

 * In the early morning, Fitz, Hunter, Enoch, and the Hintons arrive at the Lighthouse.
 * General Hale is delivered Hinton's drawings. She tells Lieutenants Evans and Lucas to make finding the seer a priority.
 * Enoch informs Fitz and Hunter that sending the agents to the future was part of a plan to stop some sort of extinction-level event, but that the details of this event are unknown.
 * Fitz and Hunter discuss Fitz's relationship with Jemma Simmons, and Fitz comments that he fears the universe wants to keep him and Simmons apart. Hunter says this is nonsense, but Fitz claims that it might even be best for everyone, as he is struggling with the part of himself which still feels like the Framework version of himself - having caused him to become aggressive towards Enoch.
 * Deciding to try again to find out why he was left behind, Fitz goes to speak to Robin Hinton and Polly, who explains to Fitz that Robin can only communicate her seeings through drawings, as when her powers are in use, she can become scatterbrained. Robin hands Fitz a new drawing, explaining that his purpose is to save his fellow agents after they are done helping in 2091, and bring them back to present day.
 * Fitz discusses with Enoch how he could get to 2091, and Enoch reveals that he used a capsule thousands of years ago to get to Earth, and that if Fitz can find this, it might be able to help him. He says, however, that it is being housed in a compound called Blue Raven Ridge, which Hunter explains to Fitz is the exact compound they just escaped from. Fitz reluctantly decides that they will simply have to break back in.
 * Infiltration into Blue Raven Ridge:
 * Leo Fitz and Lance Hunter pose as repairmen to drive into Blue Raven Ridge. They then release ferrets to set off the perimeter alarms, causing the guards to go to protect the border, looking for anyone trying to escape, thus leaving the duo free to break into a warehouse in the compound.
 * In the warehouse, the two find the capsule stored away. They then realize that the warehouse is also housing not only S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry, but Zephyr One itself, which will help their escape.
 * Hunter and Fitz load the capsule onto Zephyr One, but as soon as they have, soldiers arrive in the warehouse to stop them. Fitz uses an I.C.E.R. found in the warehouse to start firing at them, while Hunter launches the plane. Fitz then jumps on-board as the plane takes off, and the two manage to escape through the open roof, flying away.
 * General Hale meets with Lieutenants Evans and Lucas and berates them for repeatedly failing her. They believe they are being demoted, but Hale instead simply shoots them both through the head.
 * Knowing that the Lighthouse will eventually become the base populated by the Kree and the final remnants of humanity, where his friends are fighting in the future, Fitz stores the S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry inside a wall, to retrieve in 2091. He then reveals to Hunter what the plan is: the capsule is a cryogenic chamber, and he will sleep in freeze for 74 years, to wake up biologically still young in 2091. He writes a note on the back of a Lake Ontario postcard saying, "Working on it - Fitz", which he leaves with Robin Hinton, hoping his friends will get his message.
 * When Lance Hunter expresses his worry that the capsule cannot be kept safe for 74 years, Enoch clarifies that he will take Fitz in the capsule with him in a ship, and will orbit a planet a safe distance from Earth for 74 years, trying not to be discovered. Hunter offers to help Polly and Robin Hinton for the foreseeable future in his stead, with the help of Bobbi Morse, which Enoch is grateful for. Hunter wishes Fitz well, telling him what he always told Morse: "Don't die out there." Fitz then enters the chamber, and as it begins to freeze, Hunter jokingly quotes , saying, "I love you," and Fitz responds in kind with a joking, "I know". Leo Fitz is frozen, beginning 74 years of cryostasis.

3rd

 * Ruby Hale skips class at the HYDRA Preparatory Academy.

4th

 * In the morning, General Hale visits her daughter, Ruby, in her bedroom. She confronts her about having skipped class yesterday and Ruby says that she simply does not care about her classes, but when Hale threatens to take her cell phone if she does not go, Ruby reluctantly agrees. Before her mother leaves, Ruby suddenly asks her if she is a "good guy". Hale asks her why she is questioning this, and Ruby explains that she understands her mother is going after S.H.I.E.L.D., but that since S.H.I.E.L.D. were always considered good until recently, she is questioning her mother's behavior. Hale realizes that Ruby is asking because of her obsession with the hero "Quake", who worked for S.H.I.E.L.D., and explains that she simply has to try to capture her since it is her assignment from her superiors, and that her motive is always to help build a better world for everyone, but most importantly Ruby. She promises that when the agents resurface, she will find them and put an end to all the problems they cause.
 * Just after 7AM local time, Phil Coulson's agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. materialize from being transported through time by the White Monolith that engulfed them in 2091. They are initially confused by the fact that they are still in the Lighthouse, but Leo Fitz realizes that while they have not moved in space, they have indeed been sent back in time, recognizing the 2017 layout of the base from his time with Enoch.
 * Fitz activates the electricity, which triggers a projected video of 1970s S.H.I.E.L.D. agent General Rick Stoner, in which Stoner explains that the Lighthouse is the world's last bastion designed for the initiation of the Project Reclamation protocol at the time of a world-ending event. Jemma Simmons and Yo-Yo Rodriguez go to tend to Alphonso Mackenzie's injuries, while Leo Fitz and Melinda May head to the basement to find a storage facility that Stoner's video describes as housing S.H.I.E.L.D. technology. Coulson stays to be there when Daisy Johnson wakes.
 * Johnson comes to and expresses her annoyance at Coulson for having I.C.E.-d her, saying that he should not have taken her considering the severe risk, but he tells her he does not care, because he simply needed her to be with them.
 * Arriving at the basement storage facility, May and Fitz are puzzled when they find three new, different Monoliths. May asks where they might be from, and the agents are startled when a response comes from across the room, saying, "Unknown." The speaker reveals himself to be another Chronicom named Noah, and he explains that the Monoliths are housed in the Lighthouse to both protect them and to protect others from them.
 * Noah takes the duo to his control room, from which he monitors potential threats to the planet, noting a well-known politician attempting to delete his FBI files and the recent appearance of an Asgardian in New York City, having followed the news surrounding Thor's brief visit. May spots a live feed from St. Louis, Missouri, where, in the pre-dawn darkness, some sort of beam can be seen coming down from the sky to an aerospace facility, and worries that it could be a harbinger of the events leading to the destruction of Earth.
 * Having been called in by May, the rest of the team arrive in the control room, and Coulson expresses the same concerns: that this beam could be the "light from the sky" that Samuel Voss warned them about that leads to the end of the world. Noah informs them that the wavelength of the beam is unusual, so it could very well be alien, and the team decide to travel to St. Louis to investigate, with Fitz informing them that he and Hunter left Zephyr One cloaked nearby and he can take them to it. Johnson elects to stay behind, worried that she is a liability if she leaves the Lighthouse. Noah shows them secret tunnels that will take the team from the Lighthouse to a nearby New York town called River's End, where they can safely leave without attracting attention.
 * The team get out into the sunlight and fresh air for the first time in days, and take a moment to appreciate it. They notice a van for sale nearby and decide that they need to take it to get to Zephyr One. Mackenzie is reluctant to steal, but Coulson assures him they will return it after.
 * Daisy Johnson uses one of Noah's computers to set up an alert in case any of her friends have been spotted.
 * As Mackenzie drives them, the team light-heartedly discuss how things could be worse, mentioning the numerous bad things they've had to deal with over the years: being enslaved by Kasius, the Framework, Fitz and Simmons getting stuck at the bottom of the ocean, stopping Aida, fighting both of Johnson's parents, and, for May, having to loosen up and dance at the Hotel La Ona.
 * Johnson's research leads her to finding that their team are not just wanted fugitives, but they are "most wanted", with police departments everywhere having their pictures.
 * While driving, the team are pulled over by a police officer driving past. They become concerned as the officer mentions recognizing the van as belonging to John Nickel, afraid that he will arrest them for stealing, but he then simply asks how much they paid for it, noting that Nickel had failed to sell it for ages. The group are relieved as they drive off, grateful that they are in a quiet town.
 * Just after the agents have driven away, Deke Shaw materializes in River's End, having also been sent back in time after being hit by a shard of the White Monolith in the blast in 2091 as he was helping Enoch. He is immediately awestruck by the beauty of nature in 2017, pre-destruction of Earth, and cannot help but walk to a nearby tree and hug it, wanting to learn what trees feel and smell like. A nearby woman looks at him in confusion and he tells her he has just never seen anything like it, but she believes he must be on drugs.
 * Shaw sees a nearby bar and excitedly walks over and enters, wanting to see what a real bar is like. He is pleased to see that his Framework approximation was reasonably close to real life and asks the bartender for a beer, but when he tries it, he is disappointed by how it tastes after years of wondering. The bartender gives him a instead, and Shaw loves it, asking for more and more and getting drunk, fascinated as he tries out arcade games and flicking through channels on the television.
 * Shaw goes to leave the bar, but the bartender stops him to ask him for payment. Shaw drunkenly holds out his Metric, confusing the bartender, and the man tells him that he is happy to take either card or cash, reminding Shaw of the 2010s payment system. Realizing he could be in trouble, Shaw tries to run away, but in his inebriated state, he simply trips on a pool table, falling over and muttering that he is from the future as he passes out.
 * The team arrive at Zephyr One, leaving John Nickel's van with a note for it to be returned and boarding the plane.
 * On-board, Melinda May tells Phil Coulson she is feeling very glad to be back to flying in normal gravity. Coulson then doubles over in pain, but when May asks if he okay, he waves it off as just a headache. Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons then call him over, showing Coulson that the perceived direction that the beam over St. Louis was traveling in was a result of the low frame rate they were watching at, and that once the rate is increased, it can be seen that it is in fact traveling from the St. Louis Aerospace Facility upward into the sky. They then explain that from this discovery, they recognized the beam, telling Coulson that it is in fact the same beacon that Hive had used to summon the Kree.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie sits with Yo-Yo Rodriguez and reassures her over her worries from meeting her future self, saying that Kasius used that version of her to manipulate them so she should not trust what she heard too strictly, and asserting that they will change the future anyway.
 * Robert Minoru buys an apartment for him and Janet Stein, his secret lover.
 * Johnson gets an alert from the local police and is shocked when she finds that the arrested individual is Deke Shaw, believing him to have remained in 2091. She realizes that since they are the only people Shaw knows in 2017, he might end up spilling their secrets, and reluctantly decides to go to pick him up from the police station.
 * The team arrive at St. Louis Aerospace Facility and enter with caution when Fitz finds the heat signature of a person inside. However, the group are relieved when they find that it is Agent Piper, who appears happy to see them after months of searching with no avail.
 * Deke Shaw is rambling to the police officers about being from the future when Daisy Johnson arrives, claiming to be his support officer. When the officers ask her name, she goes with the first that comes to mind: her opponent from 2091, "Sinara", adding "Smith" as a surname.
 * Candice Lee informs her boss, General Hale, that they have received a call about the location of Coulson's agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. She instructs Lee to reply to the informant that they need to be kept at the location.
 * Piper explains to the group that she never heard what happened to them after their encounter with Aida and asks where they were hiding all this time, but Coulson says they will explain later. She tells them that she had worked out the beacon was Hive's, pointing out that she remembered it from the Battle of Union City as that mission had been her first among the higher ranks and had meant a lot to her, then she had come to the facility to warn workers and prepare for any incoming Kree. As they speak, the beacon suddenly starts up again.
 * Johnson retrieves Shaw from the station, improvising the details of her fake identity as she is forced to fill out the necessary paperwork. Shaw explains what happened with the Monolith shard in 2091, and Johnson is surprised when Shaw's tone does not come across as upset or in shock. He tells her that he is excited because he had thought he was going to die, yet had not only survived but ended up in a world with outdoors and air and sunshine.
 * Infiltration into St. Louis Aerospace Facility:
 * Fitz manages to deactivate the beacon, finding that someone installed a power source by hand. Piper suddenly pulls a gun on them, revealing that it was her, as the beacon had been activated to lure them in. A group of figures looking like men in black armor arrive at the facility to take the agents, with a leader dressed in grey.
 * Piper explains that she had been found by General Hale but had made a deal to set a trap the rest of the agents, under the promise that if she helped take them in then they would be guaranteed safety. However, in the next room, the leader in grey gives the order for the soldiers to kill the agents. Yo-Yo Rodriguez uses her super-speed to disarm the soldiers, so instead of shooting them, a fight breaks out between the two groups. Piper is confused as she had been told the mission was "capture, not kill".
 * As the fight continues, Alphonso Mackenzie shoots one soldier in the face, and the damaged helmet reveals that underneath is not a human but an android. Piper tells Phil Coulson that she had trusted Hale as a member of the United States Armed Forces, but he says she has been deceived. Realizing her mistake, she tells the group she will cover for them as they make their escape.
 * Rodriguez sees Mackenzie being beaten by an android across the room and uses her super-speed to run at him, but just as she does so, the leader in grey throws a vibranium Ring Blade at her. It is perfectly timed to catch her as she runs, and the ring slices through both of Rodriguez's arms.
 * Mackenzie rushes to Rodriguez's aid as she stands in shock. He finds a blanket to wrap her in and carries her away with the rest of the group as they escape the St. Louis Aerospace Facility. She mutters that the future they visited is already coming true.
 * Deke Shaw and Daisy Johnson return to the Lighthouse, and Johnson gets a call from Melinda May. She begins a light-hearted conversation, but May requests the landing coordinates urgently, causing Johnson to realize that something has gone horribly wrong.
 * The agents land back at the Lighthouse at night.
 * Jemma Simmons operates on Yo-Yo Rodriguez to clean her wounds, staunch the bleeding, and stitch up the stumps of her arms.
 * The androids' leader in grey returns to the HYDRA Preparatory Academy.
 * Fitz and Noah take the Kree beacon to the basement storage facility for safekeeping.
 * Johnson finds the rest of her friends and rushes to comfort Mackenzie. Piper sits in shame, considering the damage she has done.
 * Ruby Hale, who had been the figure dressed in grey leading the androids, gets back to her mother, who is waiting in her bedroom. General Hale asks her what she was thinking in letting the agents go and cutting off Rodriguez's arms. Ruby explains that she had been promised a chance to deal with Daisy Johnson, and since she was not there, she had chosen instead to force them to seek medical attention, hoping it will get the group where they need them to be, as well as claiming that her attack will make Johnson more desperate to be involved in the future and join the rest of the group. Hale says she is sloppy. Ruby claims that it does not matter, because the group took the beacon, which had been set up as a trap as a back-up plan. Hale says, however, that they should not have had to resort to the beacon, calling her daughter a disappointment before leaving her room, which is in fact a part of the HYDRA Preparatory Academy.
 * Daisy Johnson goes to find Leo Fitz in the basement storage facility to make certain he has checked they are not being trapped. He says he has, and that they are currently just waiting for its internal circuitry to cool down. Noah continues monitoring it and notices, however, that the circuitry is instead heating up. Realizing that it is set to explode, he instructs the agents to run. They escape just in time as the beacon detonates.

5th

 * In Philadelphia, Carl Creel is out running when General Hale stops him in a car. He says he is not interesting in working for her, but she tells him she does not want to use him, but rather is "putting together a team". He reluctantly opens the car door and gets in.
 * Leo Fitz sends a D.W.A.R.F. to investigate the wreckage of the basement storage facility. The drone finds a rift, created by the simultaneous destruction of the Monoliths, which blew a hole in spacetime and is causing the bleeding of another dimension into theirs. The D.W.A.R.F. is then swatted out of the air, however, by a being exactly resembling Lash.
 * Fitz shows Phil Coulson and Melinda May that another of his D.W.A.R.F.s had flown down to a level 150 feet below them, and yet when the elevator doors opened, it had found a forest behind the doors. He explains the rift to another dimension that the D.W.A.R.F. in the basement found, and how that must somehow have caused the strange anomaly. The group worry that while this could mean Daisy Johnson is not behind the end of the world, that would only be because this rift could in fact already be the beginning of the end.
 * Jemma Simmons tends to Yo-Yo Rodriguez as she lies in the hospital bed they have set up for her. When Alphonso Mackenzie arrives, Simmons leaves to allow them some private time together. Mackenzie promises he will do everything he can to help Rodriguez and apologizes for struggling to remain calm, as he could not bear watching her be dismembered, especially after everything they had just been through in 2091. They discuss the upcoming problems they may have to face together, as Rodriguez points out that everything her future self told her appears to be coming true.

6th

 * Deke Shaw and Daisy Johnson pick up items from the supply pantry. Shaw is fascinated by orange-scented spray, mistakenly spraying it into his own mouth, exasperating Johnson. He explains to her how hard it was to acquire fruit in the future, but that his mother would find him an orange every year for his birthday. He asks Johnson about her parents, but she explains that she grew up in an orphanage, and he apologizes for asking her about a touchy subject.
 * Suddenly, the pair are ambushed by what appears to be a Kree warrior, whose presence they do not understand. They fight back, but the Kree beats Shaw and moves to kill him. Before he can finish the attack, Johnson manages to shoot the warrior through the head, and it further confuses them when the warrior then dissolves into wisps of smoke.
 * With the agents back together in the control room, Leo Fitz explains to them his conclusion: the dimension seeping through the rift is some sort of "Fear Dimension", which can understand their thoughts and physically manifest beings to represent their greatest fears. He shows the team that he has salvaged further footage from the basement D.W.A.R.F., and has found video of what appears to be Lash, which May affirms would indeed be her greatest fear, with Johnson explaining the Kree Warrior is hers, and Shaw saying the forest, as the overwhelming opposite of the dark, enclosed, and lifeless space he has lived his whole life, is his.
 * Fitz explains that he thinks he might know how to close the rift, but that his only current idea might involve someone having to sacrifice themselves. He turns to Deke Shaw, who panics, thinking he is asking for him to be the one to die, but Fitz calmly clarifies he is simply requesting his Gravity Puck belt buckle, as he thinks he can modify it to use the gravitonium inside to force the rift to close. Phil Coulson then insists that he will be the one to take the risk of taking the device to the rift.
 * The team stop Coulson as he tries to walk away, angrily telling him he cannot just make the decision for them. Daisy Johnson says she wants to go instead, since her being around is already putting everyone at risk, but Coulson insists she is needed to help lead S.H.I.E.L.D. in the future. Johnson becomes distressed, telling him there is no longer a "S.H.I.E.L.D.", just scraps of a team who are wanted criminals and barely holding together, but he stubbornly tells her that the idea that S.H.I.E.L.D. represents is vital. However, as he tries to make his point, he loses his breath and suddenly collapses, confusing the rest of the team.
 * After Coulson wakes, the rest of the team wait for him in the control room to discuss Simmons' medical analysis of him. Before he goes to them, Coulson sends Deke Shaw away on a secret mission outdoors, as he is the only one of them who is not on the wanted list.
 * Coulson gets back to the control room, and Jemma Simmons delivers the news of what she has found. She struggles to tell them, choking on her words as she tries not to cry, that Coulson's necrotic tissue from his death in 2012 is branching out from his lungs again, as if his resurrection is being undone. Coulson confesses that when he made the deal with Ghost Rider to take on the Spirit of Vengeance, he had known the cost: the spirit would burn through the GH.325 formula's reviving effects on his dead tissue. Simmons adds that since the tissue is already dead, there is no curing it, and Coulson is dying again.
 * The team struggle to come to terms with their leader and friend's coming death, with Johnson letting out her emotions by angrily asking him why he did not tell them before. He explains that he felt their ongoing issues were more pressing, but Johnson points out that in 2091, they had an option for saving him, the way Tess had been revived. Coulson says he did not want to go through an unnatural Kree revival again, but Johnson claims he had no right to just give up, especially when he makes decisions about their lives and deaths all the time, saying they deserved to be involved in the decision-making in return, before walking off in tears. Simmons says she cannot know how long Coulson has left until she can chart the necrotic tissue's progression, but that at some point, his heart will simply stop beating.
 * Coulson follows after Johnson to comfort her, as she is hurting the most of all of them. She says that she cannot take on the responsibility he is giving her. He reassures her that she has always been capable of more than she imagined, but she says that everything she has built in the past few years has been because of him and what he gave to her, so she does not feel any confidence without him. She cries, saying there is not just no S.H.I.E.L.D. without him, but there is simply nothing in their lives without him, and she desperately hugs him, weeping into his shoulder.
 * At 6:43AM, Rodriguez lies in her hospital bed and is visited by what appears to be Simmons. "Simmons" begins to speak cruelly, telling Rodriguez that she is causing Alphonso Mackenzie suffering and should spare them all, shocking Rodriguez. "Simmons", who is an LMD manifested by the Fear Dimension, suddenly begins to smother her with her pillow in an attempt to kill her. Mackenzie arrives at that moment and attacks the manifestation, knocking its face off to reveal the LMD robotics underneath. The real Jemma Simmons follows him into the room, accompanied by Leo Fitz, and shoots the LMD, and it dissolves into smoke just like the Kree warrior. Fitz tells them that this means the rift is spreading even further, and they have to seal it urgently.
 * Deke Shaw heads out into River's End, and finds United States Armed Forces military throughout the town, searching for the agents.
 * General Hale sits with one of the officers who arrested Shaw 2 days prior, who tells her that his colleague believes the woman who came to pick up Shaw looked like Daisy Johnson from the wanted posters. Hale tells him she is greatly appreciative of the lead, as Johnson has not been sighted in months.
 * Shaw goes to use a public phone for the first time, to make a call as Coulson instructed him to do.
 * Hale asks the officer about Deke Shaw, but he tells her that he was drunk and disorderly and did not seem particularly intelligent.
 * Shaw makes a call to "Fiona", but cannot get through.
 * The officer tells Hale that when they looked up Shaw, they could find no history behind his name.
 * Shaw leaves a pawn shop, which is also selling an Iron Man helmet toy, Thor and Hawkeye figurines, a Hulk mask, an axe, and a cello, with the items Coulson sent him to pick up. As he walks out, he accidentally bumps into one of Hale's agents, who becomes suspicious of him.
 * Coulson reassures May that he is at peace with his death, but that he is not giving up otherwise and will do his absolute best to make it back out of the basement after closing the rift.
 * Leo Fitz prepares Phil Coulson to head downstairs to the rift, giving him a gun to deal with any potential fear manifestations and the device he has made out of Shaw's Gravity Puck. Coulson tells him that if he does not return, Fitz needs to make sure he proceeds with the secret thing they have been planning. Fitz is dismissive, saying what they are planning is simply symbolic, but Coulson reminds him that symbols and institutions can be very important.
 * Coulson takes the elevator down to the basement, but as he steps out into the corridor, the team lose visual contact with him.
 * Having prepared to see manifestations of fears, Coulson is taken aback when he instead finds what appears to be Mike Peterson in the basement. "Peterson" tells Coulson that he is here to explain the truth to him of what has really been happening. "Peterson" begins to tell Coulson that his own brain is making everything up, saying that Coulson has never actually been to any of the places he thinks he has been in the last few years.
 * Without visual contact, the team become anxious about Coulson. Daisy Johnson wants to go down after him, but Fitz tells her that they cannot risk losing two people. May assures them that he will make it back, and they just need to hold on.
 * "Peterson" tells Coulson that the reason his mind has manifested all these supposed fantasies of years of adventures is that he is in fact still on the operating table in 2012 following Loki stabbing him through the chest, and as his brain is stimulated by electricity trying to revive him, his conscience is trying to make sense of random synapses firing off. "Peterson" claims that he is just an emergency medical technician Coulson barely registered in his near-dead state and his brain incorporated into these fantasies, and says that Coulson's experience of his head catching fire was merely the pain of the electrodes on his brain, and that his Framework life as a history teacher was just a memory of his father's profession. Coulson defies him, saying that the man is just the physical manifestation of his fear of death, but "Peterson" continues that his mind is just creating this story to satisfy him with the adventures he missed out on experiencing when his life was cut short.
 * The agents in the control room scan an aircraft incoming and are worried that Hale's people have found them. However, as they check the scan, they realize it is a Quinjet, which then radios in asking permission to land. The team are confused and still cautious, going to meet the landing jet with guns at the ready, but when the door opens, they find Deke Shaw inside having gathered a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents for support, including Agent Davis, whom they had thought dead, and the real Deathlok.
 * Closure of the Fear Dimension's Rift: "Peterson" attempts to convince Phil Coulson to walk into the rift, to supposedly accept the fake nature of his reality and give in to his death, but Coulson manages to remain steadfast in his belief in his life and the people around him, telling "Peterson" that he is not buying his story. The manifestation goes to grab him and force him into the rift, but at that moment, the real Peterson arrives in the basement and blasts him from the corner. The Fear Dimension begins to create various further illusions to fight back against the threat of Coulson closing the rift, manifesting forms of Lash and Vrellnexians. Coulson and Deathlok work together to shoot and dissolve each illusion, however, until Coulson manages to throw Fitz's gravitonium device into the rift, beginning to close it. In one last attack, the dimension creates Hive to take down the men in retaliation, but Deathlok blasts the illusion through the head, and the rift finally closes.
 * Candice Lee reports back to General Hale that they, too, have been unable to find anything from Deke Shaw's fingerprints or DNA. She also passes on that they have had further reports of Daisy Johnson being sighted, but Hale says that either Johnson will have left by now, or S.H.I.E.L.D. might be luring them into a trap, telling Lee that instead, they should pack up their investigation.
 * Phil Coulson, Leo Fitz, and Deke Shaw take the elevator together. Fitz explains that the device is working, at least temporarily, keeping the rift closed, saying the anomalies are fading and no more are currently occurring. He says they have one man to thank for their success, and Shaw mistakenly believes they are talking about him, thanking them for appreciating his efforts and proudly saying how he did everything Coulson asked, circulating fake sightings of Daisy Johnson, collecting the other agents, and picking up everything from the checklist of items for the evening's plans, exaggerating the hardships he had to overcome to perform the simple tasks. Fitz explains that he thought it was obvious that he was talking about Deathlok, and asks Coulson if he will be staying around, but Coulson explains Peterson will be leaving tonight. Fitz continues to ask him about the basement, but Coulson stops him, saying he thinks he is stalling due to nerves for what they are about to do. He straightens Fitz's suit and the elevator doors open onto the illusion forest, which has not yet disappeared, where the rest of the team are waiting to hold what they have been preparing for all day: Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons' wedding.
 * Fitz walks into the forest, where Alphonso Mackenzie is filming and Daisy Johnson and Melinda May are acting as bridesmaids, with Davis and Peterson also present. Simmons turns around, wearing a wedding dress found by Shaw in a second-hand shop. Coulson begins to lead the wedding. Shaw, feeling awkward, starts asking Peterson occasional questions that come to mind.
 * Simmons reads her vows, professing her love for him, and saying that she cannot wait for their next adventure: building a family. Fitz then says his vows, telling her how lucky he is to have her. They exchange rings, and Peterson tells Shaw he did well in picking them up from the pawn shop. Shaw explains that he chose Simmons' ring because it reminded him of one his mother used to wear, which he thinks might have belonged to his grandmother.
 * Candice Lee returns to General Hale and tells her that she ran a genetic profile to see if Shaw's DNA matched anyone. She reveals that they not only found a match, but in fact found two: his DNA matches both Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons.
 * The newlywed couple kiss, and Peterson asks Shaw how he knows Fitz and Simmons, but Shaw explains that he does not know either particularly well. He does not realize that the reason the ring he bought looked like his grandmother's is because it was the very same ring, as Fitz and Simmons are in fact his grandparents and he just bought his grandmother the ring that he would then see his mother wear in the future.

8th
Ultimately, it can be taken that Runaways: Season 1 occurs in December 2017. This is 25 years since late 1992, 2 years and a few days since Amy last played Star Wars: Battlefront on her day of death in early December 2015 (a couple of weeks after the game was released), about the time when Geoffrey would have bought a 2018 planner but not have used it yet, just under a year until college, a bit before college application deadlines, a month where there is indeed a Friday 8th, the time when a "non-holiday-specific seasonal dance" would be held, and also the real time date at the middle of the season's run (from November 2017 to January 2018). Runaways: Season 1 therefore begins on Friday, December 8, 2017, with the events of Destiny on Saturday, December 9th, Fifteen beginning that night and then going to Monday, December 11th, when Kingdom also takes place. At the end of Kingdom, Leslie says that the gala is in a few days, and Metamorphosis appears to be at the weekend, but when Metamorphosis picks up, characters act like it has been only a day or two, so it is as soon as possible after: Saturday, December 16th. Refraction and Tsunami are as soon as possible after again, and are confirmed by Doomsday to be on Thursday: Thursday, December 21st, with Doomsday the next day on Friday (the signs say "Friday 7-11 PM"), December 22nd, the last day of term, and finally Hostile taking the season to the morning of Sunday, December 24th. Victor says in Refraction, "On Monday, you are gonna make a public apology to my son and reinstate him to the lacrosse team," implying that it should be the week before, as the Monday after December 18th is December 25th, when there is no school. This is overruled, however, by Jonah saying in Doomsday, "[Your children have] been lying to you for weeks," and, "They've been conspiring against you for weeks," and Alex saying in the same episode, "Look, I know that it's been a shitty couple of weeks." This means it is at least 2 weeks after Friday 8th, so the earliest it can be is Friday 22nd rather than Friday 15th.
 * Alex Wilder plays  before going to school.
 * RSW Battlefront.png plays Star Wars Battlefront while his father talks to him]]Alex is approached by his dad, Geoffrey Wilder, and tells him that the reason he has not played it in 2 years is that it is the game he and his friend, Amy Minoru, had played together before she died. Geoffrey tries to comfort him, but Alex rejects the sympathy and goes to have breakfast with his mother, Catherine Wilder. They talk briefly about his attitude, and how his parents gave him space after Minoru died, but that it was time to stop being introverted. His father suggests that he meet up with his old friends, the other children of the members of PRIDE, a small organization which the Wilder parents are also a part of. He tells Alex to value the friendships he has at this age, and not let them slip away.In Reunion, it is shown that the last time Amy logged in to play Star Wars: Battlefront was "2 years ago". With PlayStation time stamps rounding down, this means it has been anywhere between 2.00 and 2.99 years. With the game released on November 16, 2015, this means that at the very earliest, it is now late November 2017. In Fifteen, it is shown that in Geoffrey Wilder's drawer, he has what appears to be a newly bought 2018 planner. It does not look used, and is being kept in a drawer of miscellaneous items - the drawer being mainly intended for accessing his secret gun, not for important items. It can be taken, therefore, that it is roughly late 2017, but perhaps 2018. In Refraction, in a flashback to "25 years ago", students are shown saying "Dude, have you seen Reservoir Dogs yet?" "Oh, my God, it was so good." The implication of this is that the film has just come out, which was in October 1992, suggesting that present day is late 2017. Chase also says in Rewind that "in another year [he'll] be off to college", suggesting that it is late in the year, around the time college starts/a year before next year's college starts, and in Refraction, they say that they will have "a hell of a personal essay for [their] college applications," implying that the applications are not yet finished, so it is not as late as January yet. In Rewind, Frank looks at Leslie's laptop calendar, and it says that the date is Friday 8th. It also shows that the month before was 31 days long and that this month is also 31 days long. While this would make it August (which it cannot be, since August is not during school term) or January, after January 2016, which is far too early, the next time that all 3 criteria are satisfied is January 2021, which is far too late. The calendar is not a reliable source, however, as it shows that the month ends with "26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31" and the next month begins with "1, 2, 3, 4, 29". However, after July 2016, which is too early, the months that have Friday 8ths are September 2017, December 2017, June 2018, and February 2019. In Doomsday, it is then shown that Atlas Academy is hosting the "non-holiday-specific seasonal dance", which implies it is December.
 * Nico Minoru gets ready for school. She puts on her makeup, then she tries to put on black tights, which end up ripping. She decides to go to get a better pair from her deceased older sister's room.
 * Tina Minoru, Amy and Nico's mother, watches her daughter entering Amy's room from cameras in the house. She goes to confront Nico, reminding her that it is forbidden for her to enter Amy's room. Nico ignores her mother and, on her way out, accidentally knocks over one of Amy's trophies, breaking it. She tries to apologize to her mother, who simply orders her to leave.
 * Chase Stein does weight training in his room. He is interrupted by his mother, Janet Stein, who tells him that it is time to have breakfast. Chase asks her if his father is at the breakfast table, which she confirms.

 * At breakfast, Chase's father, Victor Stein, reproaches him for only achieving a C in Spanish, acting cold and intimidating towards his son.
 * Karolina Dean and her father, Frank Dean attend a church service at the Church of Gibborim Executive Office.
 * Chase Stein prepares to leave for school. He argues with his mother about his dad, saying that Victor is rude and aggressive, and that he is getting tired of him - that he cannot wait to go to college next year and get away from him. His mother, Janet gets a call, which Chase is surprised by, unaware that Victor even let her have friends. She rejects the call, not wanting Chase to know that it was from Nico Minoru's father, her secret lover.
 * Chase's father, Victor Stein, works on the Dematerialization Box, but his experimentation fails. He opens the box and is angered to find the rat he was testing with is still there. Janet, Chase's mother, tries to comfort her husband, who is suffering from headaches. She reminds him of the PRIDE meeting that evening, wondering if he could reach out for help.
 * Frank Dean leaves after the Gibborim service to meet with his agent, Phil. Karolina then tries to convince her mother, Leslie, to sign a special permission slip for a field trip to San Francisco that evening, but Leslie rejects it, telling her daughter that she has a Vanity Fair shoot, and claiming that she cannot miss it, since she is the millennial face of the Church of Gibborim.
 * Leslie approached Ep2.pngina expresses her annoyance that her mother pays her little attention or care and leaves for school. Leslie is then approached by two members of the Church of Gibborim, Aura and Frances, and informed that Destiny Gonzalez did not attend the service and is missing.
 * Phil meets with Frank Dean outside the Church of Gibborim Executive Office, where he tells him that he is no longer going to work with him. After expressing his reasons - that he was too busy being the face of the Church of Gibborim to continue his burnt-out career - Phil encourages Dean to enjoy his newfound benefits inside the Church, urging him to talk with Leslie and take a more prominent role in the organization.
 * Gert Yorkes and Molly Hernandez are taken to school, Atlas Academy, by Yorkes' parents, Dale and Stacey, who adopted Hernandez after her parents died in a fire 10 years ago. After an awkward conversation, Yorkes and Hernandez abandon the car quickly.
 * Alex Wilder watches as all of his old friends now ignore each other before school. He calls his mother and asks her for permission to invite them to their house that night, like how they always used to. Catherine Wilder agrees, despite her husband's reservations about having the teenagers in the house while the PRIDE meeting is happening. Catherine dismisses this, saying that as teenagers, the last thing they would care about is what their parents are doing.
 * Meanwhile, Leslie Dean enters a room with fingerprint security in which someone is terribly sick, covered in grey crust and in a special life-support machine.
 * Meanwhile, Alex's parents prepare to set up the meeting that night.
 * Nico's parents, Tina and Robert Minoru, discuss the current situation between Tina and Nico. Tina decides to seal Amy's room with the Staff of One, although Robert does not think that that is the solution since, if they continue like this, they could lose Nico due to the conflict with her mother.
 * After dropping off the girls, Stacey Yorkes, Gert's mother, informs her husband, Dale, of the PRIDE meeting, which he had forgotten about. They express their annoyance at having to go, with Stacey also being bitter at Tina Minoru's insults of her homemade brie. Dale prefers not to go, but Stacey says that if anyone deserved a night off it is her, having taken care of their Deinonychus the night before.
 * Gert Yorkes gives a feminist talk in class and proposes the creation of a group, "Undermining the Patriarchy", needing 4 members for it to be officially recognized by the school, but her classmates pay her no attention. After this, Wilder approaches Stein to invite him to his house that evening, but when Yorkes and Dean approach to ask what is happening, tension arises between the teenagers and it becomes clear that a meet-up may be impossible.
 * In the construction site of a supposed school being built by PRIDE, a small group of gangsters, led by Darius Davis, arrive and threaten the workers to get them to leave, intending to use the situation to threaten Geoffrey Wilder.
 * In the secret passageway in the Wilder Mansion, Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder are preparing for the meeting when Geoffrey gets a call from Howard, the head of the construction work, informing him of the situation with Davis. Geoffrey decides with his wife that he needs to resolve the issue in order to keep the construction on its feet.
 * Destiny Gonzalez is approached by Leslie Dean, who has discovered Gonzalez's plan to leave. Gonzalez thanks Dean for her help over the last 6 months, and reveals that she has a daughter who is turning 3 today, and she had promised herself that she would never miss another birthday for her. Dean, however, asks her to wait, claiming she has a surprise for her - that Gonzalez will be advancing in the Church of Gibborim to "Ultra" status.
 * Unfortunately, Gonzalez agrees to stay a bit longer for the ceremony.
 * Geoffrey Wilder arrives at the construction site and confronts Darius Davis, threatening him by threatening his grandmother, showing him a camera that is directly recording everything about of her house implying that he could have her killed if Davis continues to mess with him. Davis agrees not to meddle with the construction of the school and returns to his car, where he discovers that his plan worked: while they talked, he managed to clone the contents of Wilder's cell phone.
 * Molly Hernandez auditions to be part of the of the dance squad, but experiences what seems to be bad menstrual cramps, and is unable to continue the tryout. Hernandez heads to the nurse's office.
 * Chase Stein asks his teacher to reconsider his grade in Spanish by allowing him to retake the midterm exam, but he refuses, telling him he simply has to work harder for next time.
 * Gert Yorkes, who has heard everything, approaches Stein. She offers to help him with studying Spanish, and Stein suggests that they meet at a cafe that evening. Yorkes accepts.
 * Alex Wilder finally finds Nico Minoru near the trophy cases and tells her about the meet-up that night, and confesses that he misses her. She indicates to him that she has not heard him because of her earbuds, but is lying, only turning on music afterwards as she heads to the girls' bathroom to cry.
 * Karolina Dean sees an edit of a photo she uploaded earlier in the day, mocking her with the word "Brainwashed" replacing "Blessed". Dean visits the girls' bathroom to cry as well.
 * Dean hears how Minoru enters the bathroom. Both, face to face, pretend to be perfectly fine. Dean suggests her not using makeup to hide, but Minoru tells her not to hide behind a smile, because "it's still hiding".
 * Molly Hernandez is given meds at the nurse's office. When the nurse steps out, her powers suddenly emerge as she uses super-strength to accidentally crush her chair. This relieves her discomfort, the repression having been the true source of her pain.
 * Frank Dean asks his wife, Leslie, to allow him to move to Ultra position and become her partner in both life and the Church of Gibborim. She suspects that his meeting with Phil did not go well and led to this request. She decides to leave for the PRIDE meeting without her husband.
 * Karolina Dean is recorded for an interview by  in order to promote the Church of Gibborim, as her mother requested. She is approached by Destiny Gonzalez, who tells Karolina that she is incredibly grateful all the help her mother, Leslie, has given her.
 * Back home, Molly Hernandez tries out her powers in the garage. She tries to pull a van but fails, instead going to bend a crowbar, just as the van beings to roll towards her from behind. Hernandez notices and turns. Her powers suddenly activate to stop it, and she cheers at her success, before suddenly becoming very tired and slumping against the wall.
 * The PRIDE meeting begins with the Wilders, Minorus, Deans, Yorkeses, and Steins all attending. They make an awkward small talk.
 * Alex Wilder gets home and walks into the meeting, where he talks briefly with his mother, telling her that none of his friends agreed to come over, before leaving the room. The parents agree that since Amy Minoru's death, their children have all been affected.
 * Wilder puts on a record and sits down to play  again.
 * As the sun goes down, Nico Minoru stands on the beach by a fire, preparing for an invocation seance ritual. The sun sets over Los Angeles.
 * At the PRIDE meeting, Leslie Dean passes the file on Destiny Gonzalez, that night's sacrifice, to all the members. Geoffrey Wilder is uncomfortable with the idea, because their previous sacrifices were all 16-20, older than their children, but now their children have reached the same age as their victim - 17. Despite this, the whole group reluctantly agrees that they have to go ahead. The PRIDE members descend to the hidden passage and change into their ceremonial robes.
 * Karolina Dean is driven to a party across the city, and looks out of the window.
 * Gert Yorkes waits for Chase Stein at the cafeteria, preparing cards to help his Spanish revision.
 * Stein, meanwhile, arrives at the party which he had been invited to earlier that day, right after setting his meeting with Yorkes.
 * Dean continues to travel to the party.
 * Alex Wilder sits playing Star Wars Battlefront, deeply missing his friends.
 * Nico Minoru lights candles.
 * Stein drinks at the party, but feels guilty for skipping his meeting with Yorkes.
 * Yorkes becomes nervous as Stein has still not arrived.
 * Wilder paces his room, looking at his cell phone.
 * Karolina Dean sees an advert for the Church of Gibborim outside her window, with her and her parents representing the church. This saddens her, thinking of how it has affected the opinion of her among her peers.
 * Minoru lays down the candles around a bonfire she has started.
 * Wilder finds a photo of all of him, Nico Minoru, Gert Yorkes, Chase Stein, Karolina Dean, and Molly Hernandez all together a couple of years prior. He sends the photo out to the other 5 to attempt to remind them of their good times together.
 * Dean's driver drops her off and she enters the party.
 * Yorkes texts her adoptive sister, Molly Hernandez, asking her to feed the pets at home, seeing as she will not be getting home soon. Hernandez's phone alert wakes her.
 * Dean is handed a pill at the party. Wishing to finally break free of her mother's control, she decides to open her bracelet for the firs time. Once it is opened, Dean's arms appear to light up with bright colors.
 * Karolina stares in awe, before suddenly passing out. Brandon and Lucas, Stein's friends from school, see Dean's unconscious body and carry her upstairs. Stein notices and, concerned, follows the boys.
 * Molly Hernandez feeds the pets in the basement. She hears noises from the "Warning: Keep Out" room, and approaches the window. As she looks through, her adoptive parents' Deinonychus suddenly advances on the window, and Hernandez runs, terrified. She calls her sister, saying that she wants to leave the house, and Yorkes decides that she has waited long enough for Stein, leaving the cafeteria to go to pick up Hernandez.
 * Arriving upstairs, Chase Stein finds Brandon and Lucas unbuckling the unconscious Karolina Dean's belt, preparing to sexually assault her. Horrified, especially when his supposed friends ask him to help, Stein apprehends them and gets in a fight. The duo give up, deciding it is not worth it, and leave. Stein puts Dean's belt back on and clicks her bracelet back into place. She wakes, and he takes Dean out of the party and to her car. She tells him about the lights, which he attributes simply to drug-taking, and she does not pursue the conversation further. Dean asks Stein to stay with her in the car, and they set off, deciding not to go to her home, but instead the Wilder Mansion. She drops the pill she was given out of her window, having not, in fact, taken any drugs.
 * On the beach, Nico Minoru's seance does not work. She starts to cry, and finally decides to also go to Wilder's home, having seen his message.
 * Having prepared over the previous few hours, Leslie Dean calls the Church of Gibborim leaders to inform them that they are ready on their end, and await Destiny Gonzalez.
 * One of Victor Stein's Materialization Boxes closes with Jonah inside in preparation for Gonzalez's sacrifice in the other.
 * Chase Stein and Karolina Dean, coming from the party, Gert Yorkes and Molly Hernandez, coming together, and Nico Minoru, coming from the beach, all show up at the Wilder Mansion. Alex Wilder is very pleased to have his friends finally reunited.
 * Leslie Dean informs Destiny Gonzalez that the ceremony to go Ultra is about to begin, and takes her to the ceremony room below the Wilder Mansion.
 * The group of friends ask for suggestions on what to do next. Arguing amongst themselves, and not deciding on anything, Stein decides that if they are going to address the last 2 years of separation, he at least wants alcohol, and heads off to Geoffrey Wilder's office, where he remembers liquor used to be kept.
 * PRIDE's last preparations are made before the ceremony begins.
 * The group enters Geoffrey Wilder's living room, where they notice that their parents are gone. Alex Wilder reaches for coasters, but finds them stuck together. He twists the stack, and this triggers a mechanism, opening a secret passageway in the dresser which he was not aware of.
 * The group head down the passageway, wondering where it may lead to.
 * Rite of Blood:
 * Arriving at an underground hall, the group are confused as to what is happening, seeing all but Dean's parents in red robes preparing for some sort of ritual. Wilder realizes that their parents cannot hear them, as there is some sort of protective sound barrier.
 * Stein questions what kind of charity meeting would be like this as Leslie Dean enters with a confused Destiny Gonzalez, and Karolina is shocked to find her mother involved as well. Gonzalez asks Leslie who the people she has been brought to are, not recognizing them from the Church of Gibborim, but Leslie avoids the question.
 * Stacey Yorkes approaches Gonzalez with a cup, and asks her to drink from it, claiming that its contents will "purify" her. Gonzalez is scared, but Leslie Dean guides her to drink it, just as Karolina recognizes Gonzalez as the girl she met earlier that day. Gonzalez takes it in two hands and drinks, but then stumbles, weakened. Leslie helps her up to drink again, forcing the cup to Gonzalez's mouth as PRIDE surround her and she collapses.
 * PRIDE then proceed to strip Destiny Gonzalez naked to prepare her for the sacrifice. Gert Yorkes notes that the ceremony has somehow managed to become even more creepy, as Victor Stein places his hand on the Dematerialization Box so as to activate it. Yorkes pushes Molly Hernandez back from their balcony, worried that her little sister will never be able to forget the horrible sight of what is going on. The box opens and a light comes out of it, as Geoffrey Wilder and Robert Minoru bend down to pick up Gonzalez. They walk her around the box and place her in, as the group of friends above shield their eyes from the blinding light coming from the box.
 * As Gonzalez begs for PRIDE to stop their ritual, Leslie Dean attempts to continue to reassure her. She tells the group to hurry and finish the sacrifice, as Nico Minoru and Gert Yorkes look on in horror. The box closes as Dean sheds a tear for Gonzalez's loss. Above, Minoru asks her friends what could possibly have just happened, and Molly Hernandez reaches for her phone, wanting to be able to see what is going on. Before the group can stop her, she reaches out to take a photo, leaving the flash on. The group run to escape as the light catches the eyes of the PRIDE members, who look up, concerned as to what could have happened.
 * The Wilder parents leave to investigate immediately as the group sprint back to the entrance to the secret passageway and the other members of PRIDE posit theories as to what might have caused the flash. Geoffrey and Catherine undress as Alex and his friends reach the top of the stairs, but find the door closed. Stein suggests that he attempts to open it, but fails, just as the Wilder parents finish dressing and head up the passageway. The combined strength of the 17-year-olds still proves to be insufficient, but as Hernandez hears footsteps, she becomes afraid and her super-strength kicks in, allowing the group to escape.
 * Continuing to flee, Alex Wilder tells his friends to head to the guest room while he runs elsewhere, struck by an idea. Minoru tells him that she trusts him and they go ahead. Meanwhile, Catherine and Geoffrey reach the top of the passageway. In the guest room, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, and Gert Yorkes each discuss potential rational explanations for their parents' behavior, but find flaws in each other's theories. Minoru suggests that they need to accept that their parents are murderers, having killed Gonzalez. Meanwhile, Wilder arrives at the mansion's fuse box.
 * Alex Wilder begins flicking the switches on the fuse box to cut the power. Minoru watches behind Dean as the power in Geoffrey Wilder's office shuts off, putting Geoffrey and Catherine, who have reached the office, into darkness. Alex then switches off the lights in the secret hall, the outside decoration lights, and finally the guest room lights, confusing his friends.
 * Alex Wilder returns, and explains that he cut the lights so that their parents think there was simply a power-cut, and that that is what caused the flash of light. Wilder's parents approach the teenagers, trying to discern whether they had seen anything that they should not have, but find the group playing Twister and acting as friendly as they always used to.
 * The members of PRIDE are disheartened, expressing their sadness at the uncomfortable sacrifice they had to make, with Geoffrey Wilder calling it the hardest yet. They are relieved, however, that it is the last one they will ever have to make.
 * The teenagers do not know what to believe, not wanting to admit that their parents are murderers. They take a look at Molly Hernandez's picture, but find it too blurry to clear up any questions.
 * Karolina's father, Frank Dean, looks at his wife's calendar at the Church of Gibborim Executive Office, trying to find anything untoward to explain her recent lack of interest in him. He looks at that day: Friday 8th, and the following days, but finds nothing suspicious.
 * Every member of the PRIDE except Victor Stein leaves the hall to reunite with their children. Stein is angry to discover, once the group have left, that Destiny Gonzalez, has not, in fact, dematerialized, and is still in the box.
 * All the PRIDE families congregate upstairs, with the parents continuing the pretence that they held a charity meeting and the children maintaining that they had an innocent and friendly evening.
 * As everyone start to leave the house, Alex Wilder goes to find Nico Minoru in the bathroom. Minoru confesses that she does not want to go home because of what happened with her sister, and how she always notices her being missing. Wilder promises her that she will never be alone.
 * After the Minoru family leave, Geoffrey Wilder tells his son that he thinks he saw a possible romance between him and Nico. Reluctant to reply, Alex simply shuffles off to bed.
 * Frank Dean tries to enter Leslie's private meditation room, believing that his wife might be hiding something there, but he is stopped by Leslie's assistant, Vaughn Kaye.
 * Assassination of Destiny Gonzalez: Victor Stein reluctantly kills Destiny Gonzalez and disposes of the body, attempting to hide PRIDE's failure to sacrifice her.
 * Nico Minoru watches her mother, Tina, locking away the Staff of One.
 * Gert Yorkes sings to Molly Hernandez in bed, as they cannot sleep. Wilder sends out a text to his friends, asking to meet the next day at 10, and Minoru, Stein, and Dean all receive it. Dean texts Destiny Gonzalez to ask if she's alright, and to her surprise, someone starts to reply.
 * The Yorkeses' Deinonychus walks around in her jungle environment in the Yorkes Residence's basement.
 * Geoffrey Wilder feels bad for making another sacrifice, but is comforted by his wife, who tells him to go to bed. Before leaving, he stumbles upon Molly Hernandez's hairpin near the entrance to the passageway, leaving him suspicious that the children might indeed have found their secret.

9th

 * Molly Hernandez starts looking for her hairpin, which she lost while escaping the Wilders' basement, desperate to find it because it was a gift from her mother. As she searches, she accidentally uses her powers again. Hernandez tries to tell her adoptive sister about her abilities, but before she is able to, Yorkes tells her that she thinks Hernandez is having panic attacks. Hernandez decides she will have to tell Yorkes another time.
 * Karolina Dean tries to meditate, listening to her mother's relaxation CD. Leslie enters abruptly to talk to her, but Karolina is distracted as she sees social media messages from Chase Stein's friend, calling him a "dead man" after a feud. Dean does not realize that the feud was over Stein stopping them sexually abusing her, not remembering the events of the party the night before.
 * The group of friends reunite at the beach, and Dean reveals to the group that she has received a message from Destiny Gonzalez. However, it was not about her being locked in the capsule, but a friendly message about being on a trip with the church in London, with a picture of her in front of . The others are confused, sure that they had seen Gonzalez being killed by their parents. Alex Wilder proposes that they investigate and suggests Stein should try to find out more about the light box. Meanwhile, Wilder says that he will further investigate the secret room in the basement, as Nico Minoru states that she will study her mother's magical staff.

 * Chase Stein and Gert Yorkes explore Victor Stein's laboratory. Yorkes discovers a pair of X-ray glasses before they stumble upon the Dematerialization Box.

Yorkes suggests to Stein that her parents may have taken Destiny Gonzalez to the basement that Hernandez had mentioned.
 * Tina and Robert Minoru invite Nico to join them at the restaurant, but Nico encourages them to go without her and talk alone, to help strengthen their relationship. Nico also has an ulterior motive, however, wanting to be left alone so she can investigate her mother's staff.
 * Catherine and Geoffrey Wilder discuss the possibility that Molly Hernandez might have seen something of their ritual the night before, and Catherine suggests using the Synnergy Serum on Hernandez as a precaution, because if she has seen something, it will make her forget. Geoffrey opposes this idea, pointing out how Frank Dean, Karolina's father, ended up confused and unintelligent after they used it on him. They conclude to talk to Hernandez first and ascertain whether she knows anything.

Before leaving, she notices a painting done by her grandfather, depicting a colorful woman with a resemblance to what she had seen the night before.

 * Nico Minoru is continuing to look through her sister's diary when she receives a video call from her friends. They tell her about the news reporting how Destiny Gonzalez's corpse had shown up on the beach. Gert Yorkes decides not to tell them about the dinosaur.

Without his support, Minoru decides nonetheless that she will go to the police alone.
 * Victor Stein speaks with the other members of PRIDE. He believes that the headaches he is experiencing are side-effects of medicine for malaria, and continues to believe that he is at fault for the failure of the Dematerialization Box.

 * Chase Stein reveals to Karolina Dean that he has left the lacrosse team, not willing to spend time with the people he previously called his friends after their actions. He also tells her what happened on Friday night at the party, but reassures her that he got there before anything had happened. She thanks him and asks to go back to his house. Arriving at the Steins' mansion, she tells him that she wants to show him something. Dean carefully removes her bracelet and lights up with color once again, this time staying conscious. Stein is shocked, but soon expresses how impressed he is and reaches out to touch her hand.
 * While they wait to be dealt witch, Minoru notices that Victor Stein, her father, and a detective are also in the station.

 * As the Yorkes parents cannot find their deinonychus, Stacey tries to convince Dale that they should just run away anyway, but he highlights the problems of what will happen if the deinonychus is found, what will happen if they do not get to sell the Synnergy Serum, and what will happen with the girls if they have to suddenly uproot.

 * Molly Hernandez is writing an email to Catherine Wilder, asking about what happened to her biological parents when, suddenly, she hears a noise. When she goes to investigate, she finds the deinonychus, and it leaps onto her. Her fear activates her powers and she kicks it away with super strength and runs, but the dinosaur chases her. Deciding she has to stand up to it and fight, she readies herself, just as Gert Yorkes comes through the door and orders the dinosaur to stop. It backs down, again responding to Yorkes in the same way it had on Saturday. She practices her connection with the dinosaur until their parents arrive home.
 * After locking up the dinosaur, the Yorkes parents confess to the girls that they were lying before to hide the dinosaur's existence, but say that they created her to protect the two of them.

 * Chase Stein keeps working with his father on building his Fistigons. Victor apologizes to him for his aggressive behavior, and confesses that working with Chase reminds him of when he himself was young, and had more pure ideas.

Chase's cell phone continually rings as Yorkes tries to alert him of the situation, but he does not hear it.
 * Davis wants to show Alex Wilder the territory his father, Geoffrey owns. He asks for Wilder's cell phone, and Wilder realizes that he still has his father's gun on him. Getting out of the car, he notices that they are outside Davis' grandmother's house. Davis tells Wilder how, 18 years ago, he confessed to Geoffrey's crime to clear his name, and that in return Geoffrey had promised that he and his grandmother have a settled life - but that Geoffrey had not kept his side of the bargain.

Realizing he cannot win, Davis reluctantly decides to escape.
 * Alex Wilder reunites with his father and tells him that Darius Davis has fled. Geoffrey asks him to go home by bus and tells him that he will take the seriously injured Andre Compton to a place where he can be treated.

 * Stein shows them the camera and wonders if there could be a good reason for their parents' behaviour. Wilder points out that since the camera is not turned on, their parents may have only used it in their rituals. Realizing that the camera would upload to a server, he plans to follow the IP and find out where the footage is stored. However, her discovers that it is impossible to hack the server, as it is part of Wizard, the company run by Nico Minoru's parents and the most resistant network on the planet. She suggests that they need to find a way to get the videos as actual evidence against their parents, but Chase Stein empathizes with his father, believing that he has changed and that there must be a good reason.

He confesses to his son that the headache is being caused by brain cancer, and that he has not told Janet, but he tells Chase he is sure he will find a way to beat it.

She is visited by her mother, Tina, who offers to teach her how to use the staff. Tina explains that there is a connection between her nerve pathways and the staff that allows it to work, altering their surroundings. Nico points out that the staff seemed to need a sample of her blood to work, and Tina informs her that they created the staff in Wizard's laboratories with special technology, and that it was designed to only work for her DNA, which Nico has a sufficient amount of. Tina tells her that if she had wanted the staff or her sister's diary, she could have asked for them and didn't have to steal. This causes the conversation to turn to Amy, and how her diary seemed too happy for her to have ended her own life, but Tina insists that sadly, they cannot know what really goes through the mind of a loved one.

Frank is uncomfortable with Jonah and his assertive tone with Leslie, but steps back. At that moment, he has a flash of a memory, recalling vaguely having walked in on Leslie and Jonah having sex, but not understanding where this memory comes from.
 * Gert Yorkes realizes that Dean is in love with Minoru and decides to ask Dean about it, telling her that she supports her. Dean, however, becomes bitter and defensive, replying by suggesting that Yorkes is only saying this in hopes that Dean being lesbian would give her an opportunity with Chase Stein.

Nico gives it, and Wilder starts downloading the video immediately, hoping to get out as soon as possible, before Tina can return.

 * On the roof of the building, while talking to Stein, Dean accidentally knocks the vodka bottle over the edge. It begins to fall and she drunkenly tries to catch it, but in the process, her inebriated state causes her to lose her balance, and she falls over the side herself. Stein is terrified and goes to catch her, but only managed to grab her bracelet and it slips off her wrist and she falls. However, the bracelet coming off allows Dean to use her powers, which activate, causing her to shine with colors again and suddenly start levitating, saving her life. She lifts herself back onto the roof, beginning to calm down after her near-death experience. As soon as she's safe, Stein suddenly kisses her, taking her by surprise. However, Dean is quietly uncertain of her feelings about the kiss. Unbeknown to them, Hernandez is watching them and has witnessed the kiss.
 * Chase Stein and Karolina Dean return to the main hall, where Tina and Robert Minoru are giving a speech. Tina says she appreciates the support of her husband and Victor Stein, who at that moment feels another slight jab of pain in his head. Stein catches the microphone and erratically decides to publicly reveal his wife's affair wife with Robert Minoru and his awareness of it, then falls to the ground, collapsing due to his illness. The adults all take Stein to a private room, where Chase reveals that his father has a tumor. Both Victor and Chase have Janet leave the room, after the stress she has been causing her husband. The members of PRIDE realize that they need Jonah's help, and Leslie Dean asks Jonah for help to save Victor. He scolds her for not managing to stay on top of what is happening in the group and keep them together, but agrees to help.
 * As Wilder's download nears its completion, Gert Yorkes texts to warn them that Tina Minoru is approaching her office. The teenagers hide from her, but are surprised when she returns to hear her crying - having discovered her husband's infidelity from Stein's outburst. She soon leaves without spotting Wilder or Nico.
 * Jonah arrives at the private room and chooses to inject Stein with a serum based on the genetics of someone with an extraordinary immune system. Dale Yorkes subtly takes the vial Jonah used to keep it for his own purposes.
 * Kincaid tries to flirt with Gert Yorkes, and Yorkes reluctantly decides she has to let him do so briefly, to keep him distracted as Alex Wilder and Nico Minoru slip out from Tina's office.
 * Wilder and Minoru arrive at the main hall, and Wilder asks her if she regrets ever finding out about their parents. After seeing her mother crying and being reminded of her humanity, she is hesitant, but chooses instead to question Wilder on how he had known her mother's password. He claims he simply guessed it, but Minoru does not believe him. At that moment, Chase Stein appears and tells them about his father revealing an affair between Robert and Janet, which Nico is stunned by.
 * Victor Stein returns to the gala and goes to his family, coming across to them as strangely happy, as if he does not remember what has happened or suddenly does not care. He hugs his wife and son and tells them that everything is going to be fine.
 * Jonah finally meets his daughter, Karolina Dean, but they are interrupted by Frank Dean. Karolina leaves and Jonah decides to have a moment alone with Frank to speak, telling him that he has in face passed going Ultra, just without knowing it. Leslie sees them and worries about Frank's memory, but Dale Yorkes reassures her that Frank cannot remember Jonah after they used the serum on him.
 * Molly Hernandez reluctantly tells her adoptive sister that she saw Chase Stein and Karolina Dean kissing, and Yorkes becomes angry and upset, leaving the gala. Hernandez then approaches Catherine Wilder to ask for information about her parents urgently. Wilder asks why Hernandez had texted her earlier saying that time was "running out" to get the information, and Hernandez replies saying Wilder should not worry, then, scared, accidentally says that she "didn't see a thing" - unintentionally giving away that she is aware Wilder is worried she saw something the night of the Rite of Blood, therefore giving away that she did in fact see something. Wilder is shocked, but Hernandez's adoptive mother, Stacey Yorkes arrives and takes her daughter away. Once they are gone, Catherine tells her husband, Geoffrey, that she thinks she made a mistake, and that Hernandez was in the basement the night of the failed sacrifice, and saw it all.

 * Fitz approaches Coulson and says he has news. Given the festive season, Coulson asks with little hope if the news is "tidings of comfort and joy", but Fitz affirms his suspicions in informing him that it is bad news: the rift will reopen at some point soon, as the current solution is only temporary. He explains that they need to acquire more gravitonium to close it permanently.
 * Daisy Johnson informs the team in the control room that she has been researching what happened to Cybertek and their gravitonium resources, and has found that every Cybertek worker has apparently died in the last 2 years, with their death certificates signed by a man named "Murray Jacobson", whom she has located. The team plan to leave in the dark that night to go after Jacobson and question him, hoping to track down Ian Quinn's lead scientist, Joseph Getty, and find out what happened to the gravitonium.
 * Werner von Strucker wakes up, and is unsure of his surroundings, only aware that he is in some sort of facility. With no one around to guide him, he gets up and wanders the corridors, finding a dining room with food left out. He goes to eat and steals a knife in case he needs to threaten anyone. Ruby Hale walks in, wearing earphones, and he starts to ask her questions. However, she ignores him and walks back out.
 * Coulson's team find "Murray Jacobson" and confront him. He tries to drive away, but the team trap him. He gets out of the car and threatens them with a gun, but Alphonso Mackenzie is surprised to see that Jacobson is his friend from S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, Tony Caine, known by the nickname "Candy Man". Caine lowers his gun and they happily greet each other.
 * Back on Zephyr One, the team find Caine and Mackenzie's academy photos, which the team have a laugh poking fun at. They then get to the matter at hand, and while Caine initially insists he does not know who Getty is, the team explain the apocalyptic stakes of the situation and he understands how important it is that he tell them what has happened. Caine reveals that his job was like the post-World War II, but for the Cybertek workers, allocating them to work in places their expertise can be put to good use while faking their deaths and giving them new identities. He agrees to take them to meet Getty.
 * Deke Shaw bothers Leo Fitz, asking about baseball and rambling about . Another anomaly flare from the rift then occurs, and Fitz uses the tannoy system to alert everyone and warn them to look out for unusual manifestations and kill them by any means necessary.
 * Jemma Simmons hears commotion from Yo-Yo Rodriguez's room and rushes to check on her, finding that Rodriguez has fallen out of bed, having momentarily forgotten about her dismemberment and tried to get up. She is crying, and Simmons goes to comfort her, but Rodriguez says that everything she was told in the future is coming true and that it cannot be changed.
 * Caine flies with the agents on Zephyr One. He asks Mackenzie what caused him to become more open to violence, and Mackenzie explains that he cannot let the people he loves be hurt anymore. Meanwhile, Daisy Johnson broaches the subject with Coulson of potentially using the Cybertek workers to help find a way to save him. He insists that she not, saying he refuses to end up like John Garrett, and that he does not want a second unnatural extension to his life, but Johnson and Melinda May agree that they cannot give up.

18th

 * Werner von Strucker comes across Ruby Hale again, and she starts talking to him this time. He begins asking her questions, but she says he will have his questions answered when her mother wants them answered. Von Strucker asks if she still has a scar on her forehead and lifts her hair to check, confusing Hale, not understanding how he knows. He explains that he remembers her from his childhood, having played with her when their parents had meetings, and remembered her hitting her head on the kitchen counter. He then suddenly pulls the knife he took from the table on her, grabbing her and putting it to her neck to hold her hostage so he can demand to speak to her mother.
 * Tony Caine takes Alphonso Mackenzie to see Joseph Getty. Caine explains that Getty is trustworthy, having only worked for HYDRA on the threat of his family's lives, and Mackenzie asks him what happened to the gravitonium in 2014. Getty informs him that they shipped it on a boat called the Principia to get it to a facility in the Pacific Ocean, but that the ship sank in a thunderstorm.
 * Fitz uses bathymetric maps and sonar to search for the Principia within a 100-mile radius of the point it last made contact before it sank, but finds nothing and is unsure what else to do. Deke Shaw is fascinated by the ocean they are studying, having never experienced any bodies of water, but begins to bother Fitz, who is irritable from having been awake all night working to help the team and sends him away. Simmons reminds him to be less tough on Shaw, as he is in a completely foreign world, and says he did a good job choosing their wedding rings. They discuss how weird it is being married, and Simmons suggests that they hyphenate their surname.
 * General Hale is brought before Werner von Strucker and he releases Ruby. He tells her he wants nothing to do with HYDRA, but she says what she is building is something new, beyond the HYDRA his father helped build. He continues to refuse her request for his help and says that he does not care if she even kills him, but she insists she will not, and that she will let him go tomorrow. Her Sleeper Mechs take him away, and once he is gone, Hale asks Ruby to gain von Strucker's trust and make him stay and comply.
 * Deke Shaw discovers in the pantry, and is enjoying them when he suddenly hears a voice he recognizes from across the room. He inspects the source and finds what appears to be his mother, exactly the voice he had believed it to be, but asserts that she is just an apparition. She ignores this and starts to tell him how happy she is that he has found friends, but begins to speak harshly, saying that he knows if he gets close to someone they will most likely be killed. She is then suddenly impaled with an axe by an apparent Kree Warrior, all in fact being the Fear Dimension's manifestation of Shaw's thoughts about his mother's murder. The warrior attacks him, but he manages to stab it and the manifestation dissolves into smoke. Jemma Simmons arrives and tells him to come back to control, but Shaw frustratedly says that Leo Fitz is unfairly considering him an idiot. However, mid-sentence he comes to a realization about what might have happened to the Principia, and rushes to inform Fitz.
 * Shaw posits to Fitz that with the gravitonium on-board the Principia during a storm, if it got struck by lightning, the element being charged might have lifted the ship miles into the air rather than sinking it. Fitz agrees and goes to build an algorithm of how the air currents would have moved the ship over the years to estimate its location.
 * Coulson, Johnson, May, Mackenzie, and Davis take Tony Caine in Zephyr One to explore Fitz's estimated location for the Principia in the air. Sure enough, they find the ship floating, to Caine's amazement.
 * Werner von Strucker is woken by nightmares of his torture. Ruby Hale visits him in his room, and decides that the best strategy to use is to tell him the truth, explaining her mother's tactics of using her to manipulate him and convince him to help. She then suggests that he stay nonetheless and create new, happy memories to bury his old traumatic ones, before she leaves. Appreciating her honesty, he listens to her and considers her words.
 * Battle on the Principia:
 * Davis, May, and Caine remain on Zephyr One as the others board the Principia to search for its gravitonium. Unbeknown to them, Sleeper Mechs planted by General Hale are activated by their presence.
 * Alphonso Mackenzie finds a small ball of gravitonium, and Deke Shaw advises them over the radio to use a container to box it up, making sure not to touch it themselves. Mackenzie does so, and and Shaw warns them that as soon as they have enclosed it, the gravity field it is generating will begin to dissipate and they will have 90 seconds to escape before the ship falls.
 * The team make their way back to Zephyr One when they are ambushed by the Sleeper Mechs. They fight back, taking down a few of the androids, and Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson get free of the attackers. Mackenzie tells them to leave while he takes down the remaining androids, and he manages to defeat them using the Shotgun-Axe.
 * Mackenzie gets back to Zephyr One just in time, with a deactivated Sleeper Mech body in tow.
 * Candice Lee informs General Hale that the old Sleeper Mechs on the Principia have been activated, and Hale realizes that S.H.I.E.L.D. have taken the gravitonium.
 * The group say goodbye to Tony Caine, and he promises Melinda May and Alphonso Mackenzie that he will look into the Deathlok programme for them to see if anything can help their determination to save Phil Coulson.
 * Yo-Yo Rodriguez apologizes to Jemma Simmons for her pessimism the day before. Deke Shaw, meanwhile, is coming to inform them that the agents have returned when he overhears Simmons giving Rodriguez advice for her recovery, stating, "The steps you take don't need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction." Shaw is stunned, recognizing this as an exact phrase that his mother used to use, and had always said she had acquired from her mother, and comes to the realization that this most likely means that Jemma Simmons is his maternal grandmother. In a daze, he eventually manages to communicate the message he came to deliver, and Rodriguez and Simmons go to meet their returning friends.
 * Coulson hands Leo Fitz the gravitonium, and Shaw follows after him to help, muttering under his breath as he calls him "Grandpa". Mackenzie shows Rodriguez the Sleeper Mech he picked up, telling her that they can use it to build her new bionic arms.

19th

 * Ruby Hale goes to check if Werner von Strucker has left, but is pleased to find that he decided to remain and work with them. She takes him to see the other person they have recruited: Carl Creel, an old experiment of von Strucker's father's, who is training. General Hale arrives and congratulates her daughter on her success, asking how she managed to get him to stay. Ruby simply says that she was just honest with him.

21st

 * At the Wilders', Catherine takes the opportunity while Alex is showering to search his room for proof that he was present at the PRIDE meeting 2 weeks prior, as Geoffrey suspects that Molly Hernandez may have gotten Alex involved, feeling he has been acting differently since that night. When Alex comes out of the shower, his parents ask him about his relationship with Nico Minoru, but he evades the issue, saying they are not a couple. Catherine asks him if he has anything to tell them ahead of the that evening, but he claims he does not and leaves the room, picking up his laptop as he goes so his mother cannot investigate it. Catherine requests that her husband keep an eye on Alex, and tells him that she has a plan for Molly Hernandez, but will need her adoptive parents, the Yorkeses, to cooperate.
 * Chase Stein interrupts his father as he is working on formulae in his laboratory. Victor says he is thinking of firing his physicists and hiring Chase's teacher instead, and that because of this, he wants to attend the school open house, surprising Chase as his father never showed interest before. Janet interrupts them and is also surprised by Victor's desire to go to the open house. Chase continues to shun his mother for her infidelity and not helping Victor as he suffered with his brain tumor, but Janet replies that she had no idea he had cancer.
 * In Minoru Mansion, Robert Minoru approaches his daughter while she is putting on makeup and tells her that he will be leaving the home later that day to move out. Nico asks him to talk to Tins and try to reconcile, but Robert says that he does not wish to fix their marriage, as he is in love with Janet Stein. Nico leaves, upset.
 * At the Church of Gibborim, Leslie Dean is asked to give her blessing to an elderly man who is dying. To her surprise, Frank arrives. Asking the family and the doctor to leave, he then reaches over the man and surprises Leslie when his hands begin to shine, healing him. The family and the doctor return to the room shortly after and see that the older man has recovered. Privately, Leslie asks Frank why Jonah has given him the healing power, and he replies that it was gifted to him for another, greater function. Leslie expresses her worry that the old man's family could spread the word that he is a "magic healer", but Frank says he is counting on it.
 * At school, Alex Wilder talks to Nico Minoru about the problems they have with their parents. She asks him again how he knew her mother's office password, but is interrupted when the rest of the group appear. Gert Yorkes is still annoyed by what happened at the gala between Chase Stein and Karolina Dean. Stein asks Wilder about the status of the video they retrieved, but Wilder explains that he is still unlocking it. The group's conversation leads to them realizing that they each feel that their parents might suspect something, and Molly Hernandez reluctantly confesses to having slipped up the other night. The others become angry with her and Hernandez leaves, frustrated that the group are treating her as a little girl just because she is 3 years younger than them. Dean goes to search for her.
 * In their laboratory, Dale and Stacey Yorkes study their stolen sample of Jonah's serum and discover its healing properties. Dale then lets a drop fall onto his arm, which instantly passes into his bloodstream, but Dale disregards it when he sees no immediate effects.
 * In her private meditation room, Leslie Dean tells Jonah she is angry at him for giving his powers to Frank. She expresses her belief that Jonah is trying to weaken her leadership within the Church of Gibborim, but he replies that it is his religion, and that what she has was granted by him in the first place. Jonah also tells her that the church is the past, and that he will not want to be part of it when it falls, saying PRIDE is the only thing that matters. Jonah then asks that she help PRIDE recover.
 * Molly Hernandez approaches Eiffel and asks her for a place on the cheerleading team, but is given a menial role. Karolina Dean finds her and tries to encourage her, saying she loves her positive attitude. They bond over both having to struggle with hiding their powers.
 * In the Yorkeses' laboratory, Dale Yorkes has slowly become affected by the serum, getting overexcited and a little crazed. Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder call from the front door, asking to talk about Molly Hernandez, but Stacey hangs up, asking to speak at the open house event later.
 * In a storage room at the Church of Gibborim Executive Office, Frank Dean and his assistant look for historical objects from the church. They soon find Leslie's father's desk, which he wants for himself. As he rummages through the table drawers, he finds a picture of Jonah, looking just as old as he does currently, standing with a young Leslie. This triggers Frank to have another recollection of seeing Jonah and Leslie having sex.
 * Atlas Academy's open house begins, and Dale Yorkes struggles to stay awake as he comes down from the high Jonah's serum gave him. Victor Stein begins asking questions, embarrassing Chase as he shows great interest in getting to know the teaching staff.
 * Gert Yorkes argues with Hernandez, telling her she should respect herself more than to have let herself be used by the cheerleaders for menial tasks. Yorkes finds her "Undermining the Patriarchy" club running a stall at the open house event, telling her that they are moving on without her as she has shown no interest in helping. She then finds Karolina Dean, and the two begin to talk, with Dean being more friendly than she had been at the gala. Frank Dean then arrives, late, and greets Karolina before going to find her mother.
 * Robert Minoru tries to reassure Nico, who is upset by her parents' separation. He tells her that things will feel normal soon, after he has settled with Janet Stein.

Dean says that it would mean a lot to Jonah, and Tina reluctantly agrees, knowing that Dean needs PRIDE to stay together.
 * Leslie Dean talks to Janet Stein, trying to convince her to put her affair aside as PRIDE is more important. Stein tells Dean that the affair was over anyway, and that she will be informing Robert Minoru soon.
 * When Victor Stein and Robert Minoru come across each other in the same room, Stein corners him. However, he is not aggressive, but rather thanks him for taking care of Janet when he could not.

However, before anything further can happen, Janet interrupts them, asking Victor to come with her to talk with Chase's physics teacher.
 * The Yorkeses encounter the Wilders at the open house and ask to speak in private. Chase Stein and Karolina Dean notice the parents talking and decide they need to notify the rest of the group. Catherine and Geoffrey Wilder suggest a plan to the Yorkeses for getting Molly Hernandez to safety in secret and protect her from Tina Minoru and Jonah, saying that she has to be sent away. The Yorkeses are reluctant, but realize that it might be necessary to at least ensure their adopted daughter is alive and well.
 * The group of friends meet during the open house and discuss how the Wilder and Yorkes parents must know about Molly Hernandez. They decide that they have to expose their parents as soon as the video file is done decrypting, and remind each other to stay in contact.
 * Frank Dean finds Leslie and confronts her with the picture he found. He requests answers from her, wanting an explanation about Jonah's identity.

He asks why she hid these secrets from him, and Leslie says that she has been feeling ashamed, explaining that she has a secret relationship with Jonah.
 * Robert Minoru encounters Janet Stein in a corridor and asks about their relationship, and why she has not been returning his calls. She tells him that she is convinced Victor has changed, and that she has to take her new opportunity to keep her family together; that their affair has to end. Minoru is left alone, just as Tina arrives, hoping to speak with her husband.
 * In Timely Coffee, Alex Wilder sits with Nico Minoru as the video is about to complete its decryption. Minoru confronts him about knowing Tina's password, insisting he is lying about simply guessing, and demands that Wilder tell her how he knew.
 * Molly Hernandez enters her room and discovers that her adoptive parents, Dale and Stacey Yorkes, have been packing her bags. The couple tell her that since she is interested in learning more about her roots, they are moving her to stay with a second cousin she has never heard of called Graciela Aguirre. When Gert enters the room, she asks for an explanation, but Dale refuses. Gert tells him that this is the worst thing he could do to Hernandez, and Hernandez becomes upset, nearly activating her powers. Gert takes her aside to talk in private, telling her not to use control and give away her abilities but instead to follow their plan for now, hugging her and promising she will protect and look after her.
 * Attack on Victor Stein: Chase Stein continues to work on his Fistigons, until his father catches him. Victor begins to behave abusively again and appropriates his son's invention. Chase becomes angry with his father, saying that every time he acts like he has changed and become better, he turns out to be just as horrible as always. Victor goes to hit him, but before he can, Chase responds by punching him. He hurriedly apologizes, but Victor retaliates by blasting him with the Fistigons. Before Victor can hurt his son again, Janet arrives and shoots her husband in the chest with the gun Robert Minoru gave her in order to stop him.
 * Victor Stein struggles to breathe as Chase and Janet try to help him. Soon, Robert and Tina Minoru arrive. Chase tries to throw Robert out, but Tina reprimands him, saying the important thing right now is Victor.

 * Geoffrey and Catherine Wilder arrive at the Steins' mansion, worried about the text they have received, saying "TSUNAMI" - a code word last used 10 years ago when they found the Hernandezes dead.
 * Alex Wilder explains to Nico Minoru while they were playing  a few days before Amy's death, she had complained that her laptop was slow, so he had run a virus checker but found her computer had been hacked and was being key-logged. He tells Nico how they had realized that Amy's hacker was, in fact, Tina, and Nico assumes that Amy could not face her mother after this, but still cannot see how this led to her suicide. She angrily compares Wilder to her mother for the way they have both lied repeatedly. Wilder is apologetic, saying he should have done better but could not pass on the information as he had made a promise to Amy to keep it secret, and that whenever he had tried to reach out, she had been too reclusive. Nico finds this an insufficient excuse, and Wilder admits he was also afraid that if he told her, she would never speak to him again, saying he would do anything not to lose her as well as Amy. As they speak, Nico comes to a realization that there must be a further detail they have not worked out, as this does not explain why Tina closed the house and prevented her from calling emergency services. Wilder suggests that Amy may have wanted to run away from home, reminding Nico that her cell phone and backpack were in her room the night of her death. Nico decides she needs to search her sister's room again for further clues, refusing Wilder's help.
 * Chase Stein asks why they cannot call the police, but Tina Minoru explains that the evidence would lead to Janet being arrested. He then asks the group why everyone has come, but the adults simply say that PRIDE are such close friends that they see each other like family and want to help. Janet takes her son away to tend to his cuts, while the other PRIDE members tend to Victor.
 * Meanwhile, Dale and Stacey Yorkes take Molly Hernandez to Graciela Aguirre. They try to make her see the positives in her situation, but Hernandez starts to get angry again. Dale receives the "TSUNAMI" text from Janet and tells Stacey they have to leave immediately. They are forced to say goodbye to their adoptive daughter, who refuses to forgive them, and go.
 * Chase Stein asks his mother what will happen if his father lives or dies. He says that he thinks that Victor's behavior was due to the brain tumor or Jonah's serum, wanting to believe that his father did not actually mean to kill him, and Janet reassures him this is hopefully the case. The Yorkeses arrive at the house and Janet goes to let them in, explaining to Chase that they are doctors.
 * Dale and Stacey Yorkes insist to the rest of PRIDE that they are not properly qualified doctors, but agree to try to help Victor, and begin by sewing his artery to prevent further bleeding. They ask why Leslie Dean is not present, and the other PRIDE members explain that they did not call her as she is too close to Jonah, and Jonah cannot find out.
 * Chase Stein calls Gert Yorkes, but she does not notice her phone as she is taking care of her Deinonychus. He then tries calling Karolina Dean, and when she picks up, he asks her to visit him for company, but then regrets asking her to get involved and hangs up. Karolina is visited by her mother, whom she asks about her father's strange behavior. Leslie explains that Frank has had a difficult time, before leaving the room. Karolina then leaves a message for Nico Minoru on her cell phone, saying that she is worried about Chase and that something has happened to his father. Unbeknown to her, Leslie is still outside her door and overhears the call, finding out what the other parents had not told her.
 * The Yorkeses point out that Victor has lost a lot of blood and is in a coma. Leslie arrives and says she will call Frank, instead of Jonah.
 * Molly Hernandez talks to Graciela Aguirre, who confesses to her that she does not trust the Yorkeses. Aguirre tells her she has an envelope from her biological parents and gives it to her.

 * Leslie Dean asks Frank not to say anything about her relationship with Jonah for the sake of their daughter.
 * Karolina Dean calls Gert Yorkes, who has taken her Deinonychus to her room, and asks her to come with her to see Chase Stein. Yorkes realizes that Dean wants her to come with her because she does not want to be alone with Stein, not really reciprocating his feelings for her but in fact having feelings for Nico Minoru. After hanging up, Yorkes sees her missed call from Stein, and is pleased to see that he thought of her first.
 * Frank Dean arrives at the Steins' with Leslie, and she has him uses his new healing powers in order to heal Victor Stein. The attempt is unsuccessful however, causing Stein to go into cardiac arrest, until his heart suddenly stops, and he dies on the operating table.
 * Gert Yorkes and Karolina are about to arrive at Chase's house when they see Jonah arriving outside and entering.
 * Jonah arrives at the Stein laboratory, revealing that he was alerted by Tina Minoru, and takes out a capsule which unfurls into a Dematerialization Box. He explains that if they want to revive Victor Stein, they will have to make a sacrifice, just as they have done for him. He suggests sacrificing the culprit behind the attack on Victor: Janet Stein.
 * Gert Yorkes and Karolina Dean slip into Stein Mansion, followed by Yorkes' Deinonychus.
 * Molly Hernandez goes to bed and explains how Elian got lost once on a train, and she and her parents had driven to the next station and picked him up there when the train arrived. She wonders if the letter might mean to visit the station, and Graciela Aguirre says she can look tomorrow. However, as soon as Aguirre leaves, Hernandez escapes through her window and runs to find the station.
 * Chase Stein tries to see his father, but Frank Dean stops him in the hallway. Karolina then arrives and tells Stein to go to his room instead, where Yorkes is waiting for him. While Chase climbs the stairs, Karolina speaks to her father and pleads with him not to join with PRIDE, trying to tell him the truth about what they do.
 * Stein enters his bedroom and is scared when he finds Yorkes' Deinonychus. Yorkes hurries to calm him down, however, explaining her connection with the dinosaur to him.
 * Janet Stein tries to convince the group that she should not be sacrificed. She blames them for not helping her with her husband's problem and claims that she has contributed greatly to the group over the years. Robert Minoru suggests sacrificing Frank Dean instead, which Leslie considers. Jonah clarifies that he does not care who does it, but merely that Victor Stein has to be saved as he is very important to him, and says that if they are not able to save him, he will kill them all and their children. Dale Yorkes pulls out a gun and begins to threaten the group, insisting the group let his children go safely, but Geoffrey Wilder points a gun of his own to Yorkes' head and he immediately drops the weapon in fear. Jonah gets tired and gives Janet an ultimatum: either she enters the box, or he makes Chase do it, and she accepts being the sacrifice. Robert Minoru then asks for a moment alone with Janet to say goodbye, which is granted by Jonah and the rest of PRIDE.
 * Nico Minoru searches her sister's room and discovers Amy's backpack. Inside it, she finds Amy's cell phone. She hopes to find clues about her death, but the phone is out of battery, so she leaves it to charge.
 * In his private moment with Janet Stein, Robert Minoru advises her to say goodbye to Chase before she is sacrificed. She goes to Jonah to ask for approval, which he refuses, but the others notice that Minoru, meanwhile, has undressed and is threatening them with the Fistigons to them to prevent them from stopping him as he gets into the capsule in lieu of Janet Stein. He says he believes that it is not fair that she has to die for an action that saved her son, and that he is more deserving when he failed to protect his daughter. However, Tina Minoru refuses to lose her husband and uses the Staff of One to destroy the second capsule.
 * Alex Wilder tries to call Nico Minoru, but she does not answer. He leaves her a message saying he wants to apologize. As he speaks, the video finishes decrypting, and he finishes the message by asking that Minoru bring the others to Timely Coffee to meet him.
 * Leslie Dean gets angry with Tina Minoru for having destroyed the second capsule, when the only person capable of making a new one is Victor Stein. Minoru moves to fight Dean, but Jonah stops them. Robert goes to Tina and thanks her for saving him, and Janet Stein asks what they will do now with Victor.
 * Nico Minoru arrives at Timely Coffee and reunites with Alex Wilder. She tells him about finding Amy's backpack and phone, but makes it clear she is still angry with him. Wilder then explains that he has watched their parents' video, and that it is the worst thing he has ever seen. They text the other three to meet them.
 * Resurrection of Victor Stein: Jonah closes Victor Stein's capsule, reviving him with the jolt from the box's internal coil, and hoping that the coil will at least keep him alive for a while. Geoffrey Wilder and Dale Yorkes then carry the box away.
 * Janet Stein goes to see Chase and tells him that PRIDE is taking care of his father. Chase says that when Victor is better, he really wants to have another chance with him, which Janet says she is sure Victor would love. As soon as Janet leaves, Gert Yorkes and Karolina Dean emerge from their hiding place and tell Chase that they need to leave to meet Alex Wilder.
 * Molly Hernandez gets to the station and comes across security boxes there, finding one matching the key from her parents: security box #23. She tries the key and it works, opening the locker, but she is confused when she finds a VHS tape, not knowing what it is.
 * Alex Wilder tells Nico Minoru that he still does not understand their parents' ritual despite watching the video footage, because he believes from what he has seen that their parents seem begrudging and like they do not want to partake in the sacrifices. Soon, Yorkes, Dean, and Stein arrive. Wilder tells them they have the video ready to send out and get their parents arrested, but Stein surprises him by saying he no longer things they should send it, as they do not understand everything and if something happens to PRIDE, his father might die. Karolina Dean expresses her agreement with him, saying she believes that Frank might also be able to help them. Wilder still wants to use the video, so Stein tackles him, trying to snatch the computer. The friends begin to fight ad Stein knocks Wilder to the ground. He gets back up, but is distracted when he notices the dinosaur in Yorkes' car. Stein takes the opportunity to take the laptop and break it, stamping on it until it is destroyed, to Minoru, Wilder, and Yorkes' anger.
 * Amy Minoru's cell phone turns back on after charging, showing the last notification she had received before her death on her lock screen: a message from an unknown number warning, "He found out. LEAVE THE HOUSE NOW!!!"

22nd

 * Graciela Aguirre realizes that Molly Hernandez is not in her room.
 * Nico Minoru tries to recover his sister's now-charged cell phone, but her father enters the room, explaining that he has reconciled with Tina. He explains that he is staying in Amy's room, and Nico realizes she will have to get the phone later.
 * At the Deans', Karolina Dean decides to trust Frank and informs him of everything she and her friends have found out about PRIDE. Frank asks her to step away from the situation, promising that he will try to take care of everything.
 * As Chase Stein dresses, he watches a press conference being held by his mother from earlier that morning, in which she says that Victor Stein will be taking a break from the public eye as he deals with fighting a cancerous tumor. Janet enters Chase's room and he asks about his father and the man looking after him, Jonah. His mother asks him not to inquire about Jonah or PRIDE, since he will only put himself in danger.
 * At school, Atlas Academy teachers and lacrosse teammates give their condolences to Chase Stein. Minoru, Wilder, Yorkes, and Dean watch, still unhappy with him. Stein approaches them and apologizes, but there is still tension between Wilder and Minoru, and between Wilder and Stein. Gert Yorkes steps in and tries to prevent them from breaking up again. She says that it is a shame that they have not even come up with a group nickname, so Wilder suggests the "Runaways", in honor of the children they did not save; however, the others dismiss this as too dark.
 * As the group walk into a school building, Stein is called over by Eiffel, who tries to sell him some tickets for the "non-holiday-specific seasonal dance" that night. Stein rejects her, but when she is rude to Karolina Dean, Yorkes abruptly reacts by buying tickets for all five of them, stating that they will all be going together.
 * Tina and Robert Minoru drive and discuss recovering their lives as soon as Jonah's drilling begins, as PRIDE's influence will be over. Tina points out, however, that the loss of Amy is permanent, and can never be fully recovered from.
 * PRIDE meets with Leslie Dean and Jonah at the dig site, which is owned by Geoffrey Wilder. Jonah reveals that he has fired Wilder's men, however, to hire more dedicated workers. Tina Minoru and Dale Yorkes ask Jonah for information about the supposed source of renewable energy they are digging for, but he avoids answering. Jonah then finally turns on the drill.
 * Meanwhile, Darius Davis meets with one of Wilder's workers leaving the site - a mole he is paying for information. The guard informs him that he has been fired, and Davis notices the drill starting. He expresses his intrigue in finally finding out what the dig is for.
 * Molly Hernandez finds her friends at Atlas Academy and reunites with them, showing them the VHS tape she has acquired. Together, the group go to the AV club meeting room, where an old video player is housed which will allow them to view it together. The video begins and the group watch as Alice and Gene Hernandez are shown, talking to the camera. They talk about PRIDE and the drilling that is supposedly in search of a supposed renewable energy, but that they are now doubting this was the truth. They also warn that even if the drilling has good intent, there is a blind fault underground, which, if disturbed, will cause massive earthquakes and fires. In addition, they mention that they have found weird things in their rock samples, and that if Molly is watching the video, it means they have not been able to stop PRIDE's work. The video finishes, and the group discuss its content, and the implications this suggests their parents' actions will have. Alex Wilder tells them that they have to stop their parents, saying that they could use the school dance as a cover from their parents for why they are leaving their homes, as they in fact go to sabotage the machine at the dig site.
 * Frank Dean meets Jonah, telling him he has important information to relay. Jonah listens attentively as Dean passes on what Karolina had told him.
 * Before leaving for the school dance, Janet Stein asks Chase if he will be going with Karolina, but he tells her that he is growing to think she is interested in him. He quotes Gert Yorkes, telling his mother that taking is "heteronormative" anyway, which makes her laugh. He explains that while he often does not understand Yorkes, she does make some good points.
 * Nico Minoru calls Alex Wilder and tells him to come to her house. Wilder meets with her, and she talks to him about the warning message she found on Amy's cell phone. They conclude that it definitely seems like someone killed Amy, and she did not commit suicide, realizing that it cannot have been Tina, as the message said "he", and neither Robert nor Kincaid can have sent the message as it is from an unknown number not in Amy's contacts. Robert interrupts them and asks for a photograph of the two before the dance. Wilder compliments Nico, but she says she no longer cares what he thinks.
 * The Yorkeses call Graciela Aguirre to check in on Molly Hernandez, only to be informed that she has run away. Aguirre tells them that Hernandez's biological parents did not trust them as they did not leave them Molly's key, and that she does not trust them either. The Yorkes parents notice Aguirre's mention of a key and realize that Hernandez's parents must have known they could be in danger, having left Molly a key in case they failed. Before they can try to contact Molly, they receive a call from Jonah, who tells them to attend an urgent PRIDE meeting.
 * Gert Yorkes drives her and Hernandez to the ball, and park near the dance hall. Hernandez notices that Yorkes has dressed up for the occasion, and teases her about fancying Chase Stein, telling her to go get him. She stays hidden in the car with Yorkes' Deinonychus, while the other friends enter the hall to attend the dance as their cover.
 * Yorkes meets with Chase Stein and she tells him that she has always felt ignored, and that she never actually thought he was an idiot as she had said in the past, as it was a defense mechanism. He tells her that he is glad to have moved on from his old life, because his current friendships are more honest and real, and they decide to dance together to enjoy what might be their last night alive. They retire to a private room and become intimate, beginning to kiss and then taking off their clothes, deciding to have sex.
 * Wondering where Yorkes and Stein are, Nico Minoru leaves to find them, pointedly taking Karolina Dean for company rather than Wilder to further express her annoyance with him. The pair cannot find them and decide to head back, but before they do, Dean decides to give into her feelings for Minoru and make an advance on her. She moves to kiss Minoru, and Minoru reciprocates. Yorkes and Stein then appear, still putting on their clothes, and both couples come to realize the others' feelings and newfound relationships.
 * Jonah tells PRIDE how displeased he is with them all, and informs them that their children have been lying to them and conspiring against them for weeks. Leslie Dean asks him how he knows, and Jonah tells them that one of them revealed it to him. He begins to list the betrayals each parent has made against him and how they have questioned his leadership, and warns them not to continue, or that there will be dire consequences, then asks them again to check where their children are.
 * The parents return to their homes and find that their children have stolen certain things: the Staff of One is missing from the Minorus' the dinosaur is missing from the Yorkeses', the Fistigons are missing from the Steins', which Janet Stein alerts Leslie Dean about, and the key card to the PRIDE Construction Site is missing from Geoffrey Wilder's office. Geoffrey informs Catherine, surmising that the group will be breaking into the dig site.
 * Darius Davis meets with his pregnant wife, Tamar, and tells her about the strange things he saw when he came up against Alex Wilder and his friends. Tamar does not believe him, thinking he is back on drugs, but Davis continues, saying that he will find out what Geoffrey Wilder is involved with and then seek to take it from him.
 * Infiltration into the PRIDE Construction Site:
 * The group arrive at the construction site, leaving Yorkes' Deinonychus in the car. They go to enter the site but are stopped by a guard from the Church of Gibborim called Carl. Karolina Dean claims that they have permission from her father to enter, using the excuse of a school photography project. He says he wants to check with Frank, but Karolina is hopeful that Frank will let them through, as he is the one parent she believes is on their side. Frank answers the phone and tells Carl that it is fine to let them through, but does so not to help Karolina, but because Jonah, sitting quietly next to him, tells him to do so.
 * Darius Davis, sitting in a car nearby the site to spy on Geoffrey Wilder, sees the group entering the restricted area. He gets out of his car to follow them.
 * Upon entering, the friends are shocked by the depth of the drilled hole, but proceed with their plan to destroy the site. Chase Stein and Gert Yorkes go to take over the drill's controls, and end up discussing what happened at the dance. Yorkes is nervous and insists it must have been a one-off, which confuses Stein, not understanding her conflicting feelings on the matter. However, he insists that the matter at hand is more important, and that he needs to focus. Meanwhile, Molly Hernandez uses her super strength to push a site truck into the hole.
 * Stein realizes that he can cut out the power to the drill by force and uses his Fistigons to blast them, successfully rendering the machine out of order. Hernandez successfully drops the truck into the hole, and Minoru proceeds to request that the Staff of One "fill the hole", causing dirt from nearby to fly through the air and descend into the chasm. However, their attempt to stop the drill completely is thwarted as their parents suddenly arrive, and Tina Minoru uses her control of the staff to summon it away from her daughter and into her hands.
 * The teenagers ask their parents how they could have chosen to murder so many young people, and PRIDE promise that their actions were done to help their children, but the group refuse to accept this, saying they are ready to oppose PRIDE and even fight them if they have to. Karolina Dean takes off her bracelet in preparation for a potential altercation and begins to shine. Leslie is shocked and tells the other parents that she was not aware her daughter was capable of this, but had feared it might be the case.
 * Yorkes' Deinonychus arrives to help the group, having sensed Yorkes' fear, but Dale Yorkes shoots her with a tranquilizer dart. Yorkes runs to help her. Chase Stein starts to fight back, firing the Fistigons at the parents, with Karolina Dean shooting rays of luminescent energy at them as well, but both attempts are stopped by Tina Minoru, using the Staff of One to protect PRIDE.
 * Molly Hernandez, wanting to help, goes to lift a barrel, but she is knocked out by a luminescent beam fired by Jonah, who arrives and joins the parents, preparing to fight the teenagers himself.
 * As Darius Davis watches on, Tina Minoru tries to defend the children from Jonah, but he uses a beam to blast the staff out of her hand. PRIDE desperately ask Jonah not to hurt their children with both entreaties and threats, but he blasts the children with rays nonetheless, knocking them on the ground.
 * The teenagers get back up, as Yorkes meanwhile takes the tranquilizer dart out of her dinosaur and then goes to rejoin her friends. Together with the Deinonychus, all of them stand together and prepare to fight Jonah, but Karolina Dean asks the others to flee, saying she knows that Jonah is there specifically for her. The group are reluctant to leave, but she insists and they eventually follow her suggestion, getting to safety as Jonah and Dean both begin to shine with luminescent energy.
 * Jonah and Dean both build energy individually and fire at each other, with the beams of their attacks meeting in between them and coalescing into a growing ball. The ball eventually explodes and causes an electromagnetic pulse, frying all electrical devices in the vicinity.
 * The group realize that the car, Fistigons, and all other devices will no longer work. Nico Minoru wants to return to rescue Dean, but Wilder asks her to be intelligent because they have no way to fight. Nonetheless, she goes to look through the fence to see if she can find her, but sees that neither Jonah nor Dean are still present, but PRIDE are, and are starting to look for their children. Minoru returns to her friends and warns them about their parents searching for them, and the group run away.

23rd

 * The next morning, the teenagers look for a place to go, with Yorkes' Deinonychus hidden with a blanket in a shopping cart. A police car passes and Wilder asserts that they have to get off the streets, leading them up to the woods by the Griffith Observatory.
 * Reaching the woods and a clearing where they can stay, the group begin to discuss what to do next. The group consider escaping, except Nico Minoru, who wants to save Karolina Dean. She points out the sacrifice Dean made for them, and Molly Hernandez supports her, eventually convincing the group that they have to try to rescue their friend.
 * The Minoru parents, Yorkes parents, Wilder parents, and Janet Stein all meet to talk, and discuss how how upset they are by the revelation of an inner circle and secrets within PRIDE. They agree that Karolina Dean must be Jonah's daughter and the Yorkeses speculate that Hernandez must have acquired her strength powers somehow from the explosion of her parents' laboratory. Geoffrey Wilder orders Tina Minoru to reveal what she knows about the explosion, having always suspected her to have been involved due to her burnt hand at the Hernandezes funeral. She confesses that she knows Leslie Dean was involved in causing the explosion, but says that she herself had done nothing, though had allowed it to happen. Everyone begins to wonder what the excavation is for, so the Yorkeses suggest going to the site to look into it further. Catherine Wilder, meanwhile, suggests asking Karolina Dean to find out what their children know.
 * In the meditation room at the Church of Gibborim Executive Office, Leslie and Frank Dean discuss how they have mutually betrayed each other, while Karolina is resting, recovering in the bed. Jonah soon enters the room and requests that the two of them leave, so he can take care of his daughter.
 * Nico Minoru, Chase Stein, and Molly Hernandez buy new clothes and a wig for Gert Yorkes, hoping it will help them go unnoticed. Minoru and Stein discuss discovering each other's new relationships the night before, and Stein admits that he really likes Yorkes.
 * Alex Wilder meets Yorkes on the hill by Griffith Observatory after an unsuccessful visit to the city trying to find a computer he can use. He gives Yorkes a flyer about old movies showing nearby that he found. The other three return to the hill from buying food, and the group reluctantly decides that they will have to leave the Deinonychus behind. Yorkes insists that she needs to come, but the rest of the group agree that it is not safe to bring her, as it would make them easier to get caught and potentially lead to her getting caught as well.
 * Yorkes has a private moment with the dinosaur to say goodbye. She talks to her about their connection, remembering the name of a film from the flyer, she says that their partnership is as if the dinosaur were the "Old Lace" to her "Arsenic" - deciding that she will name her "Old Lace".
 * In a cafeteria, the group corners a young man from the Church of Gibborim, Vaughn Kaye. They ask him to help finding Karolina Dean, having assumed that she will be in the Church Executive Office. They tell him about the Church's involvement with killing one runaway every year, but he does not believe their claim and leaves.
 * Jonah removes Karolina Dean's breathing mask, awakening her. She starts asking for her friends and father, but he reveals to her that while Frank raised her, he is in fact her biological father, and that he no longer feels alone. He offers to guide her and help her not feel lonely anymore either.
 * Chase Stein and Molly Hernandez intentionally get themselves gathered by Aura and Frances as part of the Church of Gibborim runaways program, so as to get into the Church Executive Office.
 * The Yorkeses prepare to use seismic refraction and echo-sounding at the excavation, in order to find what Jonah is really digging for. However, they are interrupted by Leslie Dean. The couple make poor excuses on the spot, but Dean tells them to be honest about what they are doing. The Yorkeses' computer then tells them that there is something alive under the excavation, confusing the couple, and Dean, hearing this, reveals that even she did not know about it.
 * Kaye informs Leslie Dean of his encounter with the teenagers, and to his surprise, she tells him that he should assist them.
 * Stein and Hernandez are both filling out forms to join the Gibborim runaway project when they are approached by Vaughn Kaye. He takes them to start looking for Karolina Dean, claiming to Aura and Frances that Stein and Hernandez are "special" and that Leslie will want to meet them, so as to get past the duo.
 * Meanwhile, Alex Wilder decides to look for a vehicle while Gert Yorkes confesses to Nico Minoru that she is struggling with her anxiety, without her medication to help her. Yorkes talks about Stein and claims that there is no relationship between them and that it was a one-off, but Minoru helps her understand that Stein actually loves her and is interested in taking their relationship further.
 * The Wilder parents approach Jonah, asking to speak with Karolina Dean. He tells them that she must recover first and that they cannot demand anything, and asks them to trust him. They reluctantly leave, claiming that they will not work for Jonah anymore and that they must find Alex before he does. Unbeknown to them, Alex is hiding behind a nearby van and hears their conversation.
 * Rescue of Karolina Dean: Stein, Hernandez, and Kaye arrive at the private meditation room. Hernandez then uses her powers to smash the door, and Kaye decides to leave and not be further involved. Stein and Hernandez reunite with Dean and begin to descend the stairs to make their escape. They are stopped by Aura and Frances, and Dean claims that she is simply giving two of her friends a tour, but the Gibborim women recognize her to be lying and call security. The trio run to escape and make it outside, where they find that Alex Wilder has broken into a Gibborim van and found the keys above the mirror. They jump into the van and Wilder drives them away.
 * Vaughn Kaye informs Leslie Dean that Karolina has escaped with her friends, as she had wanted. Kaye then asks Leslie if it is true that Jonah is taking charge of the church, but Leslie assures him that this is not the case.
 * Meanwhile, Jonah receives a text message saying, "Mission accomplished. Let me know what's next."
 * In the forest outside of Griffith Observatory, the group begin to make a bonfire. Wilder talks to Minoru about whether she ever thinks about calling her parents, but she says she would have nothing to say. She then walks away and finds Karolina Dean. They share a private moment, and Dean thanks her for having the group rescue her despite it being a risky decision. The two share a second kiss, affirming for each other that they have feelings. They then realize that Wilder has disappeared, and Minoru worries that he might be calling his parents.
 * Alex Wilder makes a call from the city, but not to his parents, instead to Darius Davis, believing he can help them.
 * The Yorkes parents wonder how the living beings from the dig site could survive underground. Stacey Yorkes assumes that if they study Jonah's serum, they might be able to learn about how his biology works, and this leads the couple to realize than in doing so, they could potentially learn how to kill him, as well as the life at the bottom of the excavation. They are interrupted when Leslie Dean, the Minorus, and Janet Stein ring the doorbell.
 * Darius Davis meets with Alex Wilder after receiving his call, and asks for him to explain everything that has happened recently. Wilder says he needs something in return, and the two agree to make an alliance as they share a common enemy in Geoffrey Wilder. Davis gives him a gun and a stack of money.
 * At the Yorkes' home, Leslie Dean suggests that the group work together to kill Jonah, after he manipulated them for all over 15 years. She decides to confess to the others; however, the remaining secrets she has: that she was involved in not only the Hernandezes' deaths, but also Amy Minoru's. Dean explains how Amy had set off an alarm when she hacked Wizard, and that Jonah had been alerted and decided to deal with Amy in case she found any PRIDE secrets. She tells them how she had not believed Jonah when he said he was only going to talk to Amy and had texted the teenager to warn her, but was too late. Tina is furious at Dean for knowing the truth for 2 years and never telling them, and for having them continue to help Jonah despite him having killed her daughter. She threatens to kill Dean, but Dean reminds her that they need her alive if she is going to help them kill Jonah.
 * Jonah meets with Frank Dean, assuring him that they will have a bright future working together, and that when Victor Stein recovers, they will be able to take exciting new steps in his plans. However, Jonah secretly notices that the skin on his arm is flaking again, and realizes that despite Andre Compton's sacrifice, he will soon need to take another person's life to fuel his own.

24th

 * Soon after dawn, Alex Wilder returns to the group's camp, and Nico Minoru asks where he was. He assures her that he did not call his parents and shows her the money he has acquired, but decides not to reveal who he got it from. Minoru is pleased to see the money, but concerned by Wilder's secrecy.
 * Geoffrey Wilder tells Catherine that he is about to make a call that will change everything. He hopes that his actions will get their son to safety, so that then they can focus on taking down Jonah.
 * Geoffrey Wilder makes the call to Detective Flores, the corrupt police officer on PRIDE's payroll, telling him a plan he wants him to put into place which will make the teenagers wanted fugitives, with the intention of getting them found and brought safely back to the police station.
 * The teenagers enter a bus depot, hoping to flee from Los Angeles using Wilder's newly acquired money. Gert Yorkes, meanwhile, decides to wait outside to be on lookout, but while she waits, she hears a commotion from inside a trash container. She opens the lid and is delighted to discover that Old Lace has been following them.
 * Yorkes runs inside to give her friends the good news, but at that moment, it is announced on television that Molly Hernandez has been declared missing, and that Nico Minoru, Karolina Dean, Chase Stein, Gert Yorkes, and Alex Wilder are believed to have kidnapped her, as well as now being prime suspects in the death of Destiny Gonzalez, which is now believed to have been a homicide. The group are horrified at the further lies their parents have told and the framing of Gonzalez's death on them. As images of their faces are shown on the screen, a man in the depot recognizes them. The group realize they have to leave, and Old Lace runs to join them as the group, united as the Runaways, sprint to get away. As they run, they pass over a newspapers bearing the headline, "Earthquake Watch: Is L.A. Next?".
