However, whilst she is out, she sees a sword in the ground in the distance and goes over to investigate. There Simmons finds the bones of everyone who has come to the planet in the past, and the belongings of one of these people from centuries ago, including a sextant for mapping the stars. She is suddenly caught in another sandstorm, and sees the dark, cloaked figure of "It" a little way away within the storm. Running for her life, she makes it back to her and Daniels' hideout just in time. Daniels tells her she had made a dangerous mistake and wandered into the No Fly Zone, but Simmons says that it does not matter now, as she has discovered a way for them to get home.

20th

 * Simmons explains to Daniels that the portal is fixed in place, but the planet they are on spins on its axis, therefore meaning the portal appears in different parts of the planet each time.

 * Having now been on the planet for 3,561 hours, and soon to set off to get to the next portal opening in time, Jemma Simmons explains to Will Daniels that the portal is activated by the alignment of the planet's moons, which is how she calculated when the portal would next open. Daniels reveals that he intends to use a grappling hook and rope to get across to the other side of the canyon, and Simmons says that even if they can't get through, they could send a message in a bottle through the portal to give Leo Fitz instructions on how to help get them back.
 * Wilson Fisk continues with his plan to kill Dutton, making notes. Fisk keeps investigating Dutton's activities in the prison.
 * At 3,575 hours, Simmons and Daniels leave for their long hike, discussing what they will do when they get back to Earth.

14th

 * After an over 40-hour hike, Jemma Simmons and Will Daniels arrive at the canyon, only to find it about 100 meters wide, instead of 30 meters like it had been previously, and Daniels suspects that "It" is trying to prevent them from leaving. The portal opens but they are too far away to get across the canyon to it, so instead they decide to shoot their message in a bottle across and into the portal. The bottle flies towards the portal and is on target but the portal closes too early, causing the bottle to simply shatter on the rocks, and draining Simmons' hope.

16th

 * Back at their cave hideout, Simmons breaks down as she becomes desperate yet again, thinking she won't get home.

They discuss the Punisher and if his vigilante actions were inspired by Daredevil, and if they are potentially more effective. She asks Murdock to confide in her when he is ready.
 * That evening, Murdock goes to see Melvin Potter about his helmet. Potter tells him that the bullet cracked it and that it has compromised the whole helmet. He informs him that he will have to make a whole new helmet, but solders it as a temporary solution for the evening.
 * Ambush on Punisher: In the night, Grotto, working with Samantha Reyes, Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, goes to the warehouse where they are about to call out Brass. Nelson and Page soon realize that Grotto is just part of a trap set by Reyes in order to catch the Punisher. Meanwhile Castle, realizing this was an ambush, takes out a group of Dogs of Hell bikers and straps the last remaining biker in the driver's seat of the truck, sending the truck in first.

Finally, instead, Daredevil uses the gun to break his chains and tackle Punisher, but he is not quick enough to prevent Grotto being shot and bleeding out.

 * Misty Knight investigates the crime scene at Harlem's Paradise with Bailey. She asks for someone to find if any missing items, and visualizes the murder - that it would have taken more than just the fall to kill Cottonmouth; the attacker would also have had to beat his head with a blunt instrument.

Knight reveals that they found traces of blood in Cottonmouth's shower, despite it having just been bleached, arousing suspicion. Miller insists that she had showered, then looked for Cottonmouth for her paycheck and instead found Cage leaving, wearing yellow dish washing gloves, having killed Cottonmouth. She brings up the fact that she saw Knight and Cage together at the bar a few weeks prior. Knight points out that on that night, Miller was scared to even be near Cottonmouth, and her story does not line up with her personality or role. She questions whether Miller is being paid by someone to lie, as Donovan removes her from the room.
 * Dillard sits outside in the precinct, when Knight confronts her, telling her that she now finds her a top suspect. Knight says that the wounds showed that the attacker was close to Cottonmouth, having attacked with passion, and that Dillard is still a little damp from having likely taken a shower. She is defiant, however. When Priscilla Ridley comes to the corridor, she greets Dillard, having previously been a soror of hers, and lets her go. Knight tells Ridley why she believes Dillard was the murderer, but Ridley tells her that she has to find Cage and bring him in, as he should remain a top suspect.
