But what if those people weren't who we thought they were? What if the ones closest to us, the ones we've trusted our whole lives, were someone else entirely? What if they weren't even human?"

Rocket walks into the dining hall to find a drunken Peter Quill, who berates Rocket for using his Zune without permission until he passes out. Nebula picks Quill up, and is joined by the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy as she takes Quill to his bed.[14][16]
Quill, half-asleep, grabs Nebula's arm and tells Gamora that he loves her. Nebula leaves his room and is met by Rocket, who is on the ceiling, asking what she will do about Quill, saying he cannot do anything himself due to his emotional issues. Nebula asks why he is on the ceiling, so Rocket explains he is testing his Gravity Boots.[14][16]
Obfonteri once again tries and fails to use his Yaka Arrow to hit a series of targets. In order to show him how its done, Cosmo uses her telekinesis to hit the targets.

Warlock speaks up in agreement, and High Evolutionary uses his telekinesis to pin him to the wall. He demands that the pair deliver 89P13 to him, threatening to destroy their entire civilization. Ayesha reluctantly agrees. High Evolutionary wonders how 89P13 survived and says he is interested in his brain, adding that he knows where the Guardians of the Galaxy are going.[14][16]

Mantis pushes, saying that while Quill is upset about losing members of his family, he has never checked on the remaining family he has on Earth. Suddenly, the Bowie is boarded by the United Ravagers, who attempt to take over the ship. However, they stop when Nebula reminds them of her appointment with Gamora, shocking Quill.[14][16]

Using their gravity boots, they reach the surface of the Orgoscope, and Nebula uses her arm to drill a hole into its surface. Quill attempts to tell Gamora about the relationship he had with her alternate self, and how much he misses her, but Gamora turns him down. Mantis reminds Quill that the entire team can hear him, causing everyone to argue about how the speakers inside the suits work. Nebula completes the hole, alerting Kwol, the administrator of the Orgoscope, of a disturbance, so she sends Master Karja and two Orgosentries to investigate.[14][16]
Each of the Guardians squeezes through the hole, interfere with the security camera, and barely manages to take their spacesuits off and stash them before Karja enters the room. Pretending to be an employee, Quill quickly lies and berates Karja for bursting into the room while there is a hole in the wall, potentially endangering everyone. As Karja and his men leave, Mantis points out that their spacesuits had been launched into space, after they stashed them into the contamination bin. Nebula and Gamora scold Mantis for not realizing it was the contamination bin, but Quill gets the team to focus.[14][16]
Gamora formulates a plan; she, Nebula, and Quill will retrieve the passkey while Drax and Mantis open the spaceport so Groot can dock the Bowie. As they head for the data chamber, Quill bumps into Theel.[14][16]
Mantis and Drax head to the spaceport, and Mantis uses her powers on the guard, Bletelsnort, to make him fall in love with Drax and let them through the gate, much to Drax's dismay. Kwol sees Drax and Mantis on the cameras and sends the Orgosentries to deal with them.[14][16]
Gamora, Quill, and Nebula reach the data chamber and encounter Ura. Quill attempts to flirt with her to get information, but instead, Gamora threatens her and demands informatio despite Quill's complaints. Ura recognizes Rocket's species tag as such, so Gamora demands that she show them.[14][16]
Ura takes the trio into the data chamber and searches for Rocket's file. Quill voices his disdain for Gamora threatening Ura, causing the pair to argue. Gamora notes that the version of her that Quill loved sounds like Nebula, causing an awkward moment between Quill and Nebula. Ura finds Rocket's file when alarms suddenly begin to blare.[14][16]
Drax and Mantis are surrounded by Orgosentires and choose to fight them off, with Drax overpowering them and Mantis using her powers to pacify them or make them attack each other.[14][16]
Guards surround Nebula, Quill, Gamora, and Ura, so Gamora holds Ura at gunpoint and orders the guards to stand down. The guards stand down, so the group heads for the elevator and call Groot. Inside the elevator, Quill awkwardly apologizes to Ura and rambles on about his and Gamora's relationship and his distaste for this version of Gamora. The group reaches the security deck and Kwol surrenders, yet Gamora shoots her in the leg against the others' wishes.[14][16]
As Groot prepares the Bowie, Drax is shot by Karja and greatly injured. Mantis runs to help him onto his feet but is forced to surrender when the Orgosentires shoot Drax again. Nebula is shot and struggles to recover, so she surrenders as well. Seeing the mayhem, Quill asks Ura to allow him into the computer system to he can speak to the OrgoCorp employees, hoping he can appeal to them. Ura lets him in as Bletelsnort shoots at them, but Quill instead uses the system to activate the thrusters on the Orgosentry Suits, causing them all to fly around uncontrollably. With Rocket's file in hand, the Guardians make their escape and board the Bowie.[14][16]
Karja finds the Ravager Fitz-Gibbonok on the outskirts of the Orgoscope's first shield and arrests him.[14][16]
On the Bowie, the Guardians access the file, finding footage of the horrific experimentation that Rocket went through. Quill asks for the passkey, and Nebula is unable to locate it, but instead learns that the passkey was removed from the file by Theel, who Quill recognizes from earlier. Gamora remarks that he resembles one of High Evolutionary's recorders, and Groot realizes that Theel likely downloaded the passkey into the computer on his head, so the Guardians agree to head to High Evolutionary's coordinates.[14][16]
Gamora attempts to point out that it is a trap, but Quill denies this, instead calling it a face-off. Gamora demands to be dropped off with the Ravagers, but the Guardians refuse, angering Gamora. Gamora pushes Quill into the wall after growing upset with his constant complaints that she is different from his Gamora, and Nebula separates the pair, insisting that Rocket is family and that nothing will stop them from saving his life. Frustrated, Gamora storms off to contact the Ravagers.[14][16]
On the Orgoscope, Karja delivers Fitz-Gibbonok to Ayesha and Adam Warlock, reporting that he was pirating supply ships. Ayesha demands to know Gamora's whereabouts and asks Warlock to threaten Fitz-Gibbonok for information. Warlock misinterprets this and instead disintegrates him, horrifying Fitz-Gibbonok's pet F'saki, Blurp. Warlock is saddened by Blurp's reaction and chooses to adopt him. Fitz-Gibbonk receives Gamora's call and Ayesha answers it, pretending to be a Ravager. Gamora sends her coordinates, believing she is speaking to the Ravagers and wishing for them to pick her up.[14][16]
As Groot pilots the Bowie, Quill stands on the upper deck, listening to "Do You Realize??," until he is interrupted by Drax, who, as instructed by Mantis, uses a metaphor to suggest that Quill needs to learn to be independent rather than focus on his connection with others. Quill finds the analogy oddly profound and agrees, surprised that Drax was able to use a metaphor correctly. Drax defends his ability to use analogies, leading Quill to realize it was Mantis' The conversation is interrupted by Rocket's heart monitor blaring. Nebula and Quill check on him and realize that fluid has entered his lungs.[14][16]
The citizens of Counter-Earth go about their day until they notice the Bowie as it lands in the street. The Guardians of the Galaxy exit the ship as humanimals crowd around them. Quill attempts to communicate that he means them no harm, but Drax throws a ball at a little girl who had tossed it over to him, accidentally knocking her over. The citizens begin throwing rocks at the Guardians until Groot grows large and scares many of them away, despite Quill telling him not to. One bat-woman, Neelie, scrapes her knee, and Quill slowly approaches her, offering her a cloth to treat her wound and asking her for help.[14] Mantis points out that Quill had previously used that cloth to blow his nose, prompting Nebula to tell her to shut up.[17][16]
En route to Counter-Earth, Ayesha scolds Adam Warlock for keeping Blurp, but Warlock insists he will train him to behave. The pair arrive at Counter-Earth and begin searching for Rocket, hoping to bring him to High Evolutionary before his own people.[14][16]
Neelie invites the Guardians into her home, upsetting her husband, Till. The Guardians all sit at the dinner table, aside from Drax who lies on the couch, despite the others telling him it is rude. Quill thanks Neelie and Till for their hospitality, then attempts to communicate to Neelie that their friend is dying and they need help finding High Evolutionary. The Guardians bicker among themselves about how to convey their message properly, and Quill attempts to draw Theel. Neelie realizes who they are looking for, so she points them in the direction of Arête Laboratories. Quill thanks them and asks to use their car.[14][16]
Quill instructs Mantis and Drax to stay on the Bowie and watch Rocket, while he, Groot, and Nebula head to Arête Laboratories. Quill gives his Quad Blasters to Groot for him to conceal as they get in the car. After briefly struggling to open the car door, Nebula gets in the passenger seat, and Quill struggles to operate the car, having never driven before.[14][16]
On board the Bowie, a bored Gamora listens to Quill's Zune play "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" and explores the ship, finding Rocket in the medical bay. She comments on the Guardians' willingness to help him and turns up the volume on the Zune.[14][16]
Quill drives through the city, witnessing the crime, poverty, and violence that still plagues the supposedly perfect society.[14][16]
Gamora finds Quill's backpack and searches through his belongings and memorabilia from Earth.[14][16]
High Evolutionary continues to observe Phyla, and is impressed by Phyla's consistent running without exhaustion for two hours. He is interrupted by Theel warning him of the Guardians' arrival.[14][16]
Quill, Groot, and Nebula reach Arête Laboratories and are welcomed by Behemoth and War Pig, who ask Nebula to remain behind due to their policy against weaponry. Nebula is hesitant, but Quill assures her that it will be alright.[14][16]
Behemoth escorts Quill and Groot to High Evolutionary's chamber, but he gestures for them to wait.[14][16]
Outside the Bowie, a man drives past Drax on a motorcycle. Drax knocks him off of it and steals the bike, convincing Mantis to ride it with him by claiming it will be a short ride. The pair head for Arête Laboratories.[14][16]
High Evolutionary explains his mission to Quill
Growing impatient, Quill sees Theel and demands the passkey, gaining High Evolutionary's attention. With the Guardians distracted, Vim orders War Pig to collect Rocket. High Evolutionary compliments Quill's home planet, admitting that he based Counter-Earth on it. Quill expresses apathy, and High Evolutionary insists that he is perfecting the universe.[14][16]
While Gamora uses the restroom, War Pig arrives on the Bowie and kidnaps Rocket. Gamora intervenes, but is attacked by War Pig.[14][16]
Quill confronts High Evolutionary, who demands that Quill bring him Rocket. Quill refuses, instead pointing out that his so-called "perfect society" is flawed. High Evolutionary agrees, deciding to destroy Counter-Earth and everyone on it.[14][16]
Arête Laboratories emerges from beneath Counter-Earth's surface
War Pig collects Rocket and tells Vim, who reports the news to High Evolutionary. Counter-Earth's self-destruct sequence begins as Arête Laboratories lifts off from the ground. Nebula, horrified, looks on.
Gamora attacks War Pig, who throws her onto the ground. Adam Warlock flies into the Bowie, with Blurp in hand, and slams into War Pig.[14][16]
Groot and Quill prepare to fight, but High Evolutionary pins them down.[14][16]
Warlock attempts to scold Blurp and decapitates War Pig, needing to get the credit for capturing Rocket to save his people. With Warlock distracted, Gamora grabs Rocket and leaves the ship Warlock looks at Arête Laboratories. As the planet explodes, Gamora runs back onto the ship and Warlock expresses concern for Ayesha.[14][16]
The planet begins to explode, so Warlock speeds through the air to save his mother, Ayesha, but is too late, arriving at her ship just as she explodes.[14][16]
Nebula contacts Drax and Mantis, asking them to bring the Bowie to her just as they arrive at her side, much to her disappointment. Mantis blames Drax[14][16]
A heavily injured Warlock returns to the Bowie, but collapses, so Gamora ties him up in the medical bay before attempting to pilot the ship at Nebula's instruction.[14][16]
Theel laughs at Quill for falling for their trap. Quill then instructs Groot to kill them all. Groot opens himself up, unleashing a flurry of weapons and delivering Quill's Quad Blasters to him. The pair open fire, wiping out High Evolutionary's men, leaving just Theel.[14][16]
With nowhere else to go, Nebula, Drax, and Mantis jump onto the side of Arête Laboratories as it rises into the air.[16][14]
Theel begs for his life, but Quill instead grabs him and jumps out the window, with Groot following suit and forming himself into a parachute. High Evolutionary expresses confusion at the plan. As they fall, Nebula, Mantis, and Drax try to get in to save Quill and Groot.[16][14]

As Arête Laboratories exits the atmosphere, Nebula, Drax, and Mantis struggle to breathe. Drax manages to break down the door, allowing them to enter. Inside, they find dozens of Star Children being held captive. One asks if they are friends, but Nebula does not understand her and expresses frustration.[14][16]
As Counter-Earth is completely engulfed in flames, the Bowie speeds away from the planet. Once at a safe distance, Quill, Gamora, and Groot run to the medical bay.[14][16]
Drax expresses satisfaction that he could break the door down, but Nebula berates him and Mantis for being irresponsible. Mantis defends Drax, as he makes the group laugh and loves them despite his stupidity. Drax is hurt at Mantis thinking he is stupid, so she uses her powers to make him forget the argument. Drax begins freeing the children and Nebula tries to call Quill. Mantis realizes that their language is not in her Translator Implant.[14][16]
Gamora and Quill use the passkey to save Rocket. In his comatose state, Rocket sees visions of Lylla, Teefs, and Floor. Rocket apologizes profusely to Lylla for getting them killed. She tells him that he was right and that the sky is beautiful. The passkey fails and Rocket begins to flatline. Quill, refusing to let his best friend die, begins giving him chest compressions, begging for Rocket's life. Rocket asks Lylla if he can stay with them, but Lylla urges that his story is not over. Rocket suddenly jumps back to life, gasping for air and with tears in his eyes. Gamora puts a Med-Pak onto him, saving him as Quill and Groot hug their friend, relieved that he is alive.[14][16]
Quill answers Nebula's call, relieved that she is alive. Nebula explains that she, Mantis, and Drax are inside Arête Laboratories.

On Knowhere, Cosmo plays cards with Kraglin Obfonteri, Broker, Bzermikitokolok, and Howard the Duck. Cosmo complains about Obfonteri calling him a bad dog, annoying the others, but Obfonteri doubles down. Obfonteri answers a call from Quill, who asks him for help in saving the Guardians.[14][16]
Vim questions High Evolutionary's obsession with Rocket, so he berates her, saying that he is the only invention of his to ever have original ideas and that his new colony will require that trait to survive.[14][16]
Mantis, Drax, and Nebula are thrown into a pit, finding Star Children down there. They attempt to communicate to them to stay away from the starboard port, but instead, they scare them by yelling.

Realizing that their ship is doomed to be destroyed, Vim begs High Evolutionary to end the battle, but when he refuses, she commandeers the ship, and other employees follow suit. Refusing to retreat, High Evolutionary uses his cybernetics to blow up the control room, killing everyone inside except him. Over the speaker, High Evolutionary orders all his remaining forces to kill the intruders at the starboard spaceport and deliver Rocket.[14][16]
Listening to "No Sleep Till Brooklynn," Quill plans to rescue Drax, Mantis, and Nebula, only for the Abilisks to break them out of the pit, reuniting all of the Guardians.

As Rocket helps the last of the survivors to safety, he finds a room full of hundreds of animal test subjects. At the back of the room, he finds a cage from the Columbus Wild Life Center filled with baby raccoons. He opens the cage with the same key card he used to escape the laboratory. He reads the label on the cage, learning that he truly is a raccoon. He takes the raccoons in his arms and looks around at the other animals.[14][16]
High Evolutionary attacks Rocket, pinning him to the ceiling. He belittles Rocket, claiming that he is an abomination, a footnote in his success. Finally knowing who he truly is, Rocket manages to activate his gravity boots, freeing himself. He corrects High Evolutionary, telling him that he is called Rocket before shooting him. The rest of the Guardians arrive, each attacking him until Gamora uses her sword to stab him in the chest. Noticing part of his face sticking out, Gamora peels it off, revealing that his face is merely a prostetic mask, concealing his horrifically disfigured face.[14][16]
The Guardians evacuate all the animals
High Evolutionary insists that his goal was to perfect the universe, but Rocket corrects him, saying he just hates the way things are. Drax tells Rocket to kill High Evolutionary, but Rocket refuses, as he is a Guardian of the Galaxy. As the team prepares to leave, Rocket asks them to save everyone, even the animals.

He adds that he would rather have his story written in blood rather than ink. Talos sarcastically calls Gravik brave, and the two go to the cafeteria for their parley.[37][29]
Talos pours a large amount of sugar in his espresso, which Talos comments on. Talos asks him to back down, but Gravik suggests it would benefit both of them for Gravik to kill Talos.

Fury does so, and Talos agrees to help.[37][29]
Talos tells Fury that G'iah gave him the information about the HMS Neptune, so Fury calls Sonya Falsworth. Falsworth asks for an apology for putting a camera on her owl clock. Fury tells Falsworth that Skrulls were planning to use the Neptune to attack the United Nations. She at first refuses to help, worried about a spy in MI6.

Fury and Talos pass someone walking their dog, and Talos comments on owning pets, finding it weird that humans clean up dog's poop.

On the Neptune, Pagon checks on the machine as a Captain insists that it was a mistake. Pagon says that since the message was authenticated, he was obliged to attack.[37][29]
Talos gets water for Zachary, who refuses it. Zachary asks if Talos intends to kill "Bob," so Talos says that he simply needs "Bob" to do the right think. Zachary continues to refuse the water.[37][29]
Talos rejoins Fury and "Bob Fairbanks," and Fury threatens to kill him. Talos offers protection from Gravik, but "Fairbanks" claims that he would not be able to. Fury suggests calling off the strike himself, but Talos explains that only "Fairbanks" knew the codeword. Fury asks for it, but Fairbanks continues to taunt Talos.[37][29]
The Captain asks to talk to Central Command, but Pagon says that it was their orders and that he will be fired for disobeying.[37][29]
"Fairbanks" tells Talos that they would have stood by him had he accepted Gravik's offer of partnership, and Fury shoots "Fairbanks" in the leg. Fury threatens to shoot "Fairbanks'" groin, but Talos takes his gun. Fury reminds Talos that they only have minutes to call off the strike.[37][29]
As UN-1 and the Neptune approach each other, Pagon prepares his key for the launch.[37][29]
"Fairbanks" blames Talos for their continued exile and realizes that G'iah is a traitor, prompting Talos to kill him.

G'iah fights through the two guards outside the room with the Fracking Pods and defeats them.[37][29]
G'iah searches the pods for Fairbanks and searches his memories. She finds the codeword and calls Talos, telling him the codeword. Talos tells G'iah to run and goes back inside.[37][29]

Arriving at her ship, Danvers tells Fury that the Kree were going after the Skrulls on Tarnax IV. Fury tries to stop her, saying not to attack as the Kree are on a peace and reconciliation tour. She then tells Fury that she has it covered and hung up before jumping to Tarnax IV.[29][44]
At the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station, Rambeau is briefed on who Kamala Khan is, but remains confused as there is nothing noted in her power set about being able to teleport. However, Fury is done talking about Khan and asks what Rambeau saw on MB-418.[29][44]
Back in New Jersey, Kamala tries to explain that she did not break her closet door and had disappeared. Yusuf Khan then says that it could have been Captain Marvel who broke it, causing Kamala to stop, realizing Captain Marvel was at her house. Kamala gets excited while Yusuf asks if Danvers is pressuring Kamala in any way because he understands she is a hero. The rest of the family argue, but Kamala then bursts, happy that her dream is coming true.[29][44]
Danvers arrives at Tarnax and is immediately notified of an Accuser Warship in the vicinity, forcing Danvers to cloak the Hoopty and fly out on her own to sneak into the warship.[29][44]
On the surface, Emperor Dro'ge expresses disapproval of the peace offer made by Dar-Benn. Dar-Benn then tells Dro'ge about the near-destruction of Hala. She explains that the Skrulls can have peace and a place in the Kree Empire if they relocate, offering to help. She goes further, saying that she would hate it if the Skrulls suffocated when she strips Tarnax of their atmosphere.[29][44]
Meanwhile, Danvers trails two Kree guards down the hallway of the warship when she is found by a third guard, yelling that the "Annihilator" is there. Danvers winds up to punch the guard, only for her to be swapped with Kamala, who accidentally tackles the guard as she falls to the ground. She holds her elbow in pain, but gets distracted by Goose wandering next to her. As two guards approach, Goose uses her tentacles to eat them whole, shocking Kamala. She grabs Goose and uses her hard light to block a guard's attacks, sending her back to her home.[29][44]
Rambeau takes Khan's place and begins dodging attacks from the Kree guards, with one shooting at her. Luckily, Rambeau used her matter shifting powers to allow the bullet to pass right through her and into another guard. At the Khan Residence, Kamala picks up Goose panicking about what is going on, met by the same question from Muneeba. She tells them what happened, when Goose spreads out her tentacles again, leading the Khan family to jump back in fear as she spits out the two Kree guards onto their living room floor. Kamala then drops Goose and tells her family to run as the guards attack.[29][44]
Meanwhile, Danvers is teleported to the S.A.B.E.R. space station and takes the S.A.B.E.R. Space Elevator with Nick Fury down to Earth as Danvers tries to explain what is happening. When hearing that Danvers touched the jump point, Fury tells her she is not allowed to touch mysteriously glowing objects. They continue to argue with Danvers being serious and Fury being laid back. She then decides to just show him and uses her powers.[29][44]
By using them, Danvers is teleported to the Khan Residence once again. She looks around, seeing the Kree attacking the Khans. Danvers catches a Kree staff as the guard calls her annihilator and begins fighting. The Khans also try to help, but Danvers does most of the work, throwing a Kree through the roof of the home. She then goes to punch another guard, but swaps with Khan, who blocks two attacks before being teleported back to the Accuser Warship.[29][44]
Khan tries to shield herself by forming a sphere of hard light around her, but then teleports again to Fury's location. Fury asks if the two Kree she teleported with her are friends, but a starstruck Khan just looks at him, saying hi. She then fights the guards, making sure Fury sees her abilities before stripping a guard of their gun and tossing it to him so he has a weapon. Fury then looks at the defeated guard, chuckling at Khan. Unbeknownst to them, the second guard takes out her knife behind them.[29][44]
On the warship, Captain Marvel fights the Kree guards and goes to punch one with her powers, but holds back, not wanting to swap again. Instead she throws a guard to the ground and kicks them, knocking over many others in the way. Danvers then uses a guard for cover, but is shot anyway, causing her to get launched backwards. She shoots a photon blast and smiles as she did not swap. She then shoots again, only to swap with Ms. Marvel, confusing the guards. Kamala then kicks the guards, using hard light to her advantage.[29][44]
At the Khan household, Danvers switches with Rambeau again as Rambeau finds herself having to immediately dodge Kree attacks. Rambeau is forced back to a table which she uses as leverage to shift her matter, allowing the staff to go through her as she escapes to punch another guard. Yusuf and Aamir then start strangling a guard with a mop and lamp base.[29][44]
Rambeau flies back into a chair, only to find it being eaten by Goose, forcing her to get up and fight some more. Meanwhile, the guard being beaten by the Khans gets up and pushed Yusuf out of the way before punching Aamir, breaking his glasses. He then picks up the couch Yusuf fell onto and throws it into the wall, leading Muneeba to fear for her husband's life.[29][44]
Rambeau continues to fight a guard until she sees Muneeba unsuccessfully fight the other and get attacked. Rambeau then charges up her power using the Kree staff's energy and punches the guard. She then quickly flies through the guard and punches him again on the other side of the house, causing her to swap with Kamala as the guard flies into the guard that was attacking Muneeba. Muneeba gains her bearings and asks Kamala if she is okay. Kamala responds with the signals that she is.[29][44]
Back on the space elevator, Rambeau arrives and yells for Fury, who is fighting a Kree. She explains she is being teleported when she uses her powers. Fury is then pushed onto a chair by the guard as he tells Rambeau it is a strong theory. He then kicks the guard back and shoots her before spinning his gun in victory.[29][44]
Peacefully back on the Accuser Warship, Captain Marvel turns a corner and hears Ty-Rone in front of a hologram talking about how every use of the Quantum Band causes it to be more unstable. He suggests they wait to use it until they obtain the second band.[29][44]
The Khan family tend to their ruined home as Kamala sweeps up the broken glass. Aamir approaches and picks his glasses up out of the rubble only to find them being split in two. He gives Kamala a look before walking away. Muneeba shares this look before putting a pillow on the couch, only for it to be eaten by Goose. Yusuf jumps back a little at the sight of this before continuing to restrain the Kree soldiers.[29][44]
Kamala looks up at the hole in the ceiling as the rest of her family stand in front of her. She gives them an unsure grin, knowing they are mad. Suddenly, the doorbell rings as Fury and Rambeau arrive to talk to Kamala. When Yusuf answers the door, Rambeau apologizes, only for Kamala to squeal, asking Fury if she got into the Avengers.[29][44]
As S.A.B.E.R. agents take the Kree guards away, Kamala takes Rambeau's tablet, excited that they have intel on her. Kamala asks what S.A.B.E.R. stands for and Rambeau responds, but Fury looks at her in surprise and says that is classified. Rambeau apologizes as Kamala makes sure her intel has correct information.[29][44]
Rambeau explains to the family that both her and Kamala have light-based powers, so an excited Kamala just asks what Rambeau's codename is, but Rambeau says she does not have one. Kamala tells her they will work on it. Rambeau continues, saying that Captain Marvel also has light-based powers, with Fury agreeing it likely is not a coincidence regarding their swapping since two of them came into direct contact with malfunctioning jump points.[29][44]
Kamala goes on a tangent about wanting to meet Danvers before realizing that Rambeau mistakenly called her "Aunt Carol." Rambeau ignores this and just repeats that Danvers can absorb light energy, Rambeau can see it, and Kamala can solidify it. Kamala uses this opportunity to show her, only to swap with Danvers, who gets frustrated. Danvers then turns around and sees Rambeau, cracking a smile and saying hello. Yusuf whispers to Muneeba that they do not seem related. Muneeba simply says that families are complicated. Fury tells Rambeau to fill Danvers in. Rambeau approaches and Danvers tries to catch up, but Rambeau refuses.[29][44]
The Khan family ask where Kamala is, so Rambeau explains that their powers are likely entangled, so they switch places when they use them at the same time. Danvers interrupts Rambeau, asking when she got powers. Rambeau briefly saying she walked through a shield of a witchhex. Muneeba sarcastically tells Rambeau she is happy for her before getting stern and asking where Kamala is, which Yusuf asks too. Rambeau says she is wherever Danvers was.[29][44]
Danvers starts panicking and repeatedly using her powers in an attempt to switch back with Kamala. When it does not work, Danvers goes outside while everyone yells at her. Danvers proceeds to fly off to the warship. While Danvers is in mid-flight, Kamala uses her powers, causing her and Danvers to switch and fall to the ground. Fury tells Rambeau she needs to fly and catch Kamala, but Rambeau is unsure of her abilities. Fury tells her she has to fly, so she lifts off, struggling to fly straight as Kamala rushes to the ground.[29][44]
Rambeau reaches Kamala, but flies right through her, realizing that since she uses her matter shifting powers to fly, she cannot be tangible to catch Kamala. She then falls to Kamala, holds onto her and explains why she cannot fly. Kamala tells Rambeau to hold on as she creates a sphere of hard light to hopefully break their fall. Right before hitting the ground, they switch with Danvers, relieving Fury.[29][44]
Kamala Khan and Rambeau arrive on the warship to see many Kree guards in front of them. Rambeau says to not use powers and instead surrenders as Dar-Benn walks over to them, asking who they are. Ty-Rone responds, saying they are associates of Captain Marvel. Knowing the annihilator is on her tail, Dar-Benn wants to use the bangle despite Ty-Rone's warnings. Ty-Rone says that he could make it more safe with time, but Dar-Benn refuses, wanting to use it immediately. Ty-Rone gives Dar-Benn the Quantum Band, leading Khan to cover hers up.[29][44]
Before going, Ty-Rone asks what to do about Rambeau and Khan, so Dar-Benn shoots at them with her Universal Weapon. However, Captain Marvel appears and absorbs the attack. Khan gasps in excitement, only for Danvers to tell her to wait. Danvers then runs at Dar-Benn, shooting her photon blast. However, Dar-Benn uses her bangle to absorb Danvers' attack. She then uses the energy to charge back at Danvers, starting a fight, during which Danvers and Khan swap places.[29][44]
Seeing the fight is not worth it, Dar-Benn jumps off the Accuser Warship to Tarnax IV below. Danvers and Rambeau fly after her, leaving Khan by herself. Khan turns to the scared Kree scientists and asks if they have a ship she could borrow. Danvers returns and tells Khan not to talk to them before picking Khan up and flying her to the ground, exciting Khan.[29][44]
On the surface, Dro'ge angrily asks Danvers what she has done, blaming her for what will happen next. On the hill, Dar-Benn announces that it is the Skrulls fault for her next actions as they offered peace, but instead the Skrulls got help from the annihilator. Dar-Benn then uses her bangle to send a beam towards a jump point, opening it up to Hala and sucking out the atmosphere to restore her home planet. Meanwhile, Khan notices that her bangle glowed during this.[29][44]
As Dar-Benn leaves, Danvers tells Dro'ge he needs to evacuate his people, but the emperor tells her they have nowhere to go. The Skrulls run to evacuation pods with the help of Danvers, Khan, and Rambeau, but find that the pods are being sucked into Hala by the powerful pull of jump point has. Even though Khan wants to help, Danvers sternly tells her to get back to the ship and do not use her powers. She then leaves to save the evacuation pods.[29][44]
However, Khan cannot just sit around, so she looks and sees rubble about to fall onto a group of Skrulls. Khan runs over and shields them, only to swap with Danvers, who looks up and blasts the debris away as Khan falls. Khan then shields herself, swapping with Danvers once again. Danvers flies high only to see that they can only take so many refugees. She flies back to the Hoopty where Rambeau is taking in Skrulls. Danvers asks where Khan is and looks around, finding Khan using her powers to help Skrulls. Danvers purposely switches with her to get Khan back on the ship.[29][44]
Khan looks up to see a tornado forming and Danvers flying around to save others. Danvers then returns and prepares to fly away, only for Khan to try to run back out, fearing for the lives of the remaining Skrulls. Danvers then yells at her, saying they need to save who they can. They then fly away, leaving the remaining Skrulls to die on their destroyed planet.[29][44]
Danvers calls Valkyrie, who agrees to take the Skrulls to a safe place.[29][44]
Dro'ge stands on the edge of the Hoopty, looking out onto Tarnax IV in front of him. He takes off his crown and approaches Danvers, telling her that the peace treaty with the Kree was a good thing. Danvers argues it was a ruse, leading Dro'ge to say that even if it were, Danvers failed to save them. Dro'ge brutally tells Danvers that his people do not need her help anymore.[29][44]
Danvers follows Dro'ge who tried to walk away. She says she contacted a friend to help the Skrulls and asks if that is okay. Dro'ge tells her they have no choice. The Bifrost Bridge then emerges as King Valkyrie steps out. She hugs Danvers, who thanks her. Valkyrie points out that she seems to have found herself a team, although unintentional. Valkyrie reminds Danvers that she could stand tall without standing alone.[29][44]
The Skrulls then step onto Valkyrie's platform as Khan tells a young Skrull that Captain Marvel will fix everything. Dro'ge also steps on, thanking Valkyrie before the Bifrost transports them to a new home.[29][44]
Jennifer Kale posts a video online serving as a tutorial for Kale Kare's candle masks. She titles the video "VIDEO | Kale Kare's Probiotic Candle Mask Tutorial," and it gets 4,872 views by night. William Kaplan starts the video before leaving for a date with his boyfriend.[29][5]
On Hala, Dar-Benn takes off her breathing mask to test the air quality of the planet, which was unbreathable. When she sees that her plan worked, she tells everyone to breathe, allowing them to take off their masks. Dar-Benn reminds the Kree what caused them to have come to such a stage in their survival: how Captain Marvel destroyed the Supreme Intelligence, saying that she can return Hala to glory. The Kree cheer for their supremor as Dar-Benn turns to Ty-Rone, who nods in approval.[29][44]
However, Ty-Rone pulls Dar-Benn aside, saying they need more power than a single Quantum Band to reignite Pama or else Dar-Benn would be killed trying. Dar-Benn says her life is worth sacrificing for the survival of her people, but Ty-Rone says they could find the second band with time. Dar-Benn picks up her Universal Weapon and tells Ty-Rone that they are out of time.[29][44]
Seeing that part of the Hoopty is emitting smoke, Danvers opens the panel and tries to fix it. Danvers groans in frustration, but Rambeau offers help, which Danvers takes. Danvers puts the new machine into the panel and asks Rambeau for a laser that is three micometres. Rambeau surprises Danvers by simply using her powers as the laser. Rambeau then talks about the Westview Anomaly and how she was grounded from space. Danvers brings up how that must have been hard as Maria Rambeau said Monica always wanted to be in space.[29][44]
Rambeau gets serious and reminds Danvers that she said back in 1995 that they would reunite soon. Danvers voice breaks as she says she wanted to come back, but did not know what she was getting herself into and was not sure how to tell a little girl. Rambeau says that she hung on Danvers' every word. Danvers explains that she was going to return to Earth, but there were people that needed her. Rambeau says that she needed her and walks away, leaving Danvers to ponder over Rambeau's words.[29][44]
Khan gets out of the shower is more shy, apologizing to Danvers for wearing her clothes as she did not have any extras. Danvers says it is fine and apologizes to Khan for the way she spoke to her on Tarnax IV. This allow Khan to feel more comfortable and ease up. Danvers then says that the situation is not ideal, but she is glad to have company again. Khan tells Danvers she would drop everything and help her anytime, even dropping high school.[29][44]
Danvers asks to start over and holds out her hand, formally introducing herself. Khan shakes her hand, her face beaming with joy as she explains her superhero name is Ms. Marvel and she hopes that is okay in terms of copyright. Rambeau breaks the conversation up, formulating a plan. When she calls Danvers "Captain Marvel," Danvers tells her to stop calling her that as she used to change her diapers. Rambeau reminds her it was only once and Danvers threw up after.[29][44]
Danvers also says that since it is her ship, she is giving the orders, causing resentment from Rambeau. Khan then speaks up, happy that they seem to be a team, but the other two refuse to accept it. Khan christens them the Marvels and says that she knows how Dar-Benn is opening the jump points. She then holds up her bangle to Danvers, who is shocked that Khan has a Quantum Band, saying it is an ancient artifact believed to be a myth. Danvers then realizes that the Quantum Bands work together to make the teleportation networks work, which explains their entanglement of powers. Khan then points out that Dar-Benn also had maps to planets and stars on her ship, but does not know which planets.[29][44]
Danvers says that it is okay and grabs her memory accessing machine, explaining that it could access their memories. They put it on and revisit their memories, realizing that Dar-Benn absorbed Danvers' photo blast and redirected the energy. They then revisit more memories beyond the past day, like Danvers and Rambeau when she was a child as well as Maria Rambeau and Danvers' last conversation. Monica tells Danvers she does not want to see that.[29]
Danvers apologizes, but moves forward as she starts seeing Monica get resurrected. Rambeau rips off her fracking pod and tells Danvers never to do it again. Danvers apologizes, saying she did not mean to. Khan realizes that Rambeau's mother died when she was blipped and hugs Rambeau for comfort, telling Danvers to hug her as well.[29][44]
Rambeau thanks Khan and Danvers and explains that Dar-Benn is destabilizing the universe by opening jump points. Danvers then realizes that Dar-Benn is using the jump points to siphon different resources to Hala, further realizing that water is needed, meaning she is probably attacking Aladna next. Danvers explains that is covered 99.63% in water. Rambeau notes that is a specific statistic and asks if Danvers has been there. Danvers refuses to answer clearly, so the Marvels simply agree to go to Aladna.[29][44]
Now at the S.A.B.E.R. Space Elevator, Muneeba Khan insists on calling Kamala, telling her she is not going on space adventures as Fury told her how dangerous they are. Meanwhile, Aamir Khan calls Tyesha Hillman, telling her what is going on. Fury silently mouths to Danvers for help. Danvers and the Khan parents get into a small argument about letting Kamala go with Muneeba only agreeing when she hears that Dar-Benn has another bangle. However, she does not take it lightly as she tells Kamala in Urdu that she would kill Danvers if anything happens to them. Danvers asks what she said, but Kamala says it was nothing.[29][44]
Fury assures the Khans that Kamala is in good hands with Danvers. They then see Goose puking up pots and pans, leading Muneeba to worry about the "cat." Fury calls for Goose, only to see her licking herself.[29][44]
At the end of a date, Kaplan and Eddie sit in their car, saying they had fun. Eddie asks about Kaplan's sigil, so Kaplan explains that it is a puzzle which is impossible to solve. He holds Eddie's hand and they kiss, but Kaplan overhears Eddie's thoughts as he prepares to tell Kaplan he loves him.[29][5]
Kaplan pulls away from the kiss and decides to tell Eddie the truth about himself. He explains that he died during his family's car accident and came back as something else. He says that he is not William Kaplan and only pretended to recover his memory. He says that Eddie was the first normal thing he experience and that he wants Eddie to know the real him. Kaplan says that he loves Eddie too, confusing Eddie. Kaplan corrects himself, but Eddie kisses him.[29][5]
Eddie says that he does not think Kaplan is crazy, and Kaplan explains that Eddie does not have to be casual about it. Eddie asks who Kaplan is if not William Kaplan.[29][5]
In Kaplan's room, Kaplan shows Eddie a dossier he had compiled about himself and the Westview Anomaly. Eddie believes the story that it was an Avengers training exercise, for which Kaplan teases his boyfriend. Kaplan switches away from a tab displaying one of Jennifer Kale's videos to show footage of the Battle of Westview. He points out the runes on the borders of the spell, explaining it was witchcraft.[29][5]
Kaplan tells Eddie that he had connected with a Reddit user who used to live in Westview and was willing to meet to discuss what had happened. Eddie comments that it did not appear safe.[29][5]
On the Hoopty, Danvers puts on music as Khan spits out superhero names for Rambeau including "Spectrum-Vision", causing Danvers to blurt out her idea of "Vision" before realizing that it is taken. She then offers for the team to practice their swapping ability with her and Rambeau using their powers and swapping places, realizing that their powers stay activated after they switch.[29][44]
They then count down from three to use their powers only for Danvers to try to use it on "go" with the others using it on "three". They do various tests like throwing a ball while switching, jumping rope and jumping. However, they realize that sometimes their switches are uncontrollable when all three of them use their powers at the same time. They practice switching while walking with books on their heads. At one point, Khan throws a snack in the air and switches with Danvers, who catches it in her mouth.[29][44]
20th[]
On the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station, Yusuf Khan talks to Dag about retirement and his taxes while Dag admits he has not thought about retirement. Yusuf says it is never too late or early, asking how old Dag is. Dag says he is three-hundred six years old, leading Aamir Khan to joke that Dag and Yusuf are the same age. Suddenly some power in the station fluctuates, worrying Yusuf. Dag and Talia search around, finding alien items in the walls. Talia asks if they should tell Nick Fury.[29][44]
Approaching a jump point, Kamala Khan starts freaking out, saying that no one will believe her, especially Nakia Bahadir. However, she turns joyous as they start teleporting through the jump points, arriving in Aladna. Upon docking, Carol Danvers gives the group communicators before explaining that she is famous there for helping Prince Yan with legal issues. She also grabs gets clothes to wear.[29][44]
While walking towards the Aladneans, Danvers tells them that their culture is very specific. Upon seeing Danvers, the Aladneans start singing as they announce the princess is home. Danvers explains that she is married to Prince Yan on a technicality and their language is song so they will not understand them unless they sing.[29][44]
Now on a hovering platform, Danvers explains that the marriage is a diplomatic act due to Aladna's matriarchal society and that her and Yan are friends while Khan and Monica Rambeau tease her. They arrive at the banquet to hear a man singing about them, announcing that the Marvels have arrived, exciting Khan as her name for them has caught on. Yan then arrives as a dress is magically put on Danvers, confusing Rambeau.[29][44]
Danvers and Yan then dance as Danvers explains in the Aladnean language that Dar-Benn is coming, but Yan is not afraid. Danvers asks Yan to let Dar-Benn in to allow Danvers to speak to her, but Yan is hesitant. Rambeau asks Khan how many fan fiction ideas she is getting. Yan then starts to sing more, but Danvers interrupts him in English. Yan talks back, prompting Danvers to explain to the Marvels that he is bilingual. She then asks if they could get uniforms for battle.[29][44]
Fury looks at the suspicious alien item and asks Dag his thoughts. Dag says it could range from a one-off pest problem to a enemy invasion. Talia argues that it could be related to a mole on the inside. Fury tells them to hold off and just study it. However, they soon get a notification that thirty-nine more of the eggs have been found throughout the ship.[29][44]
On Aladna, the Marvels get fitted in their uniforms while Rambeau calls Talia and the two do research on the jump points, coming to the conclusion that if they use the same amount of energy, then they could close the rifts. Meanwhile, Danvers talks to Yan and explains the porblems with her powers. Khan overhears and backs Danvers upo before giving her idea to the Aladneans if making her a scarf that acts as a whip.[29][49]
The Marvels meet back up with Yan and the Aladnean Armed Forces while continuing to try and find a codename for Rambeau. Yan tells them to disappear but stay close, and Danvers assures Yan that their plan will work. As Accuser Warships appear in the skies, the Aladneans sing a high pitched siren to notify everyone else.[29][44]
Dar-Benn and her soldiers calmly walk towards Yan and the Aladnean Armed Forces, telling Yan to kneel and to be pardoned for his crimes against the Kree Empire. Yan refuses, leading Dar-Benn to shoot energy from her Universal Weapon at him. Just then, Rambeau jumps in the way, absorbing her blast, then redirecting it back at Dar-Benn, causing her to go flying. As Yan and his troops attack the Accusers, Rambeau goes after Dar-Benn where Danvers arrives. They then accidentally switch, annoying Danvers. Ty-Rone then gives Dar-Benn her hammer back as she uses it to launch Danvers and Rambeau away.[29][44]
Khan watches this happen and goes to help, only to be attacked by a Kree guard. Luckily, Yan steps in the way and kills him before telling Khan to use her scarf. Khan listens and figures out that the scarf could be used as an effective whip.[29][44]
Meanwhile, Dar-Benn makes it back to her ship and attempts to use her Quantum Band and hammer to set off another jump point. However, Rambeau arrives and stops her as the two engage in another fight. Danvers then comes in and sees their fight. She tells switch on purpose, and Danvers tells Dar-Benn to stand down. Dar-Benn tells her it is too late and the two struggle, but Rambeau arrives and pushes Dar-Benn back. Dar-Benn stands again, so Danvers and Rambeau charge.[29][44]
In the city, Ms. Marvel uses her scarf before activating her bangle and jumping onto platforms, punching a guard as she does so. This swaps her with Danvers, causing her to be right in front of Dar-Benn with her bangle activated. Dar-Benn sees the bangle, so Rambeau tells Khan to run. Khan swaps back with Danvers, who attacks Dar-Benn and tries to overload her. However, she accidentally grabs the bangle, allowing Dar-Benn to absorb her powers and redirect the energy into a punch that sends Danvers flying and hitting a wall in the city.[29][44]
Dar-Benn proceeds to activate the jump point, causing a power surge that reaches even the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station, causing the space elevator to become disabled and half of the evacuation pods to be lost. Dag reports to Fury, who comments on him never approaching with good news.[29][44]
Rambeau lands on the beach and watches all of the water get siphoned to Hala. She and Khan get back to the Hoopty as Danvers tries to stop Dar-Benn, flying through rubble and ships. Rambeau turns off auto-pilot and flies, only to be bad at it, sending them into the water where she manages to gain air and fly out. Danvers then arrives and takes over the flying.[29][44]
Danvers refuses to open a jump point to leave, not wanting to lose Aladna. She flies through the battle field as missiles lock on them, worrying Khan. The Marvels begin arguing over whether to leave. Not wanting Dar-Benn to get her bangle, Khan activates a jump point for the ship to go through as they land on a deserted planet.[29][44]
The Marvels walk off of the Hoopty as Danvers gets angry at Khan for her decision to leave ALadna. Khan tells her she made a tough call like Danvers did on Tarnax IV. Danvers tells her to stop trying to be her as she was the one that messed everything up. Khan apologizes, saying if she was not there and they did not get entangled, then Danvers could have beaten Dar-Benn. Danvers tells her she does not understand, she is the reason why the Kree Civil War started in the first place and why they cannot breathe, sharing her shame.[29][44]
Rambeau asks if that is why she never came home, which Danvers confesses was true as she felt she needed to earn the right to return. Rambeau assures Danvers that she never wanted Captain Marvel, but rather her aunt. Danvers realizes her mistake and tells Rambeau she is glad she is there with her. She tells this to Khan as well, who says her feelings go without saying and she is sorry for coming on too strong at the beginning. As a jump point opens up, Danvers tells the Marvels that Dar-Benn is targeting people Danvers cares about, meaning the Earth's Sun is her next target.[29][44]
Meanwhile, another power surge hits the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station, causing the alarm to blare, telling everyone to get to S.A.B.E.R. Escape Pods. Talia tells Fury that they only have fifteen pods, making evacuation practically impossible. Fury tells them to fill the pods with as many people as possible, then come up with plan B. A fire erupts, causing Fury to grab the fire extinguisher from a compartment, only to see more of the eggs as well as Goose.[29][44]
An egg then hatches, revealing a baby Flerken. A happy Fury picks up the baby and pets it, only for the baby to eat an entire table. Talia says they only have one escape pod left, leading Dag to give a dying speech. Fury does not want to hear that and tells everyone to get to the evacuation deck.[29][44]
The Hoopty then arrives as the Marvels board the space station to help. Rambeau and Danvers see the baby Flerken running around, leading Rambeau to ask Danvers to deal with it. Meanwhile, Khan reunites with her family, who are ecstatic. Fury talks with Danvers until a Flerken suddenly eats a S.A.B.E.R. agent. Danvers tells them to spit him out, but Fury says that their plan is for the Flerken eat the agents as extra evacuation pods.[29][44]
The Flerken start eating the agents as the announcements say to let it happen. However, the scared agents still run away. Talia hides, thinking she got away, only to be eaten herself. Ms. Marvel also traps an agent as she apologizes, forcing him to be eaten. She then picks the Flerken up and aims it at agents.[29][44]
Meanwhile, Rambeau activates the star map and locates Dar-Benn. She leaves to tell everyone, only to find the ship empty and overrun by Flerken. The group then works to get all of the Flerken into a single evacuation pod, launching them out into space. Dag then plugs his nose to be eaten himself. Rambeau then arrives and tells Fury that Dar-Benn wants Earth's sun.[29][44]
Dar-Benn soon arrives in the solar system and activates the jump point as the Sun starts being siphoned to Hala. Ms. Marvel talks to her family, saying she needs to go because if the universe is not safe, then they are not safe. Her family wishes her luck. Aamir Khan says to come back safely as he does not want to be an only child again. Fury then asks if Kamala should really take her bangle to the enemy, but Kamala says she has to because she needs both bands to close the rift.[29][44]
The Hoopty leaves to fight Dar-Benn while Fury pilots the remaining evacuation pod. When they lift off, they are pulled into a jump point, only to be blasted out and towards Earth, but spiraling out of control. Aamir prays as Fury tries to get them under control. Fury then tells Aamir not to stop praying. The Flerken start spitting out the agents, causing even more loss of control. The pod crash lands in New York City. Fury and the others step out as the Flerken spit up more agents. They then look up and see the sun fading.[29][44]
Captain Marvel arrives on the warship and faces Dar-Benn. She tries to explain that the bangles will destroy the universe, but Dar-Benn does not listen, demanding the second band. Danvers then says she is forgetting something. Rambeau then appears behind Dar-Benn and punches her, switching places with Ms. Marvel. Dar-Benn gets up and sees the Marvels, saying their conflict could have been so much easier, but Khan expresses confidence in her team.[29][44]
hey start to engage in a prolonged fight, using their swapping to their advantage. Danvers also uses the Universal Weapon briefly while Dar-Benn is able to absorb various powers and redirect it. Danvers soon passes the hammer to Rambeau, who strikes Dar-Benn. They then use Dar-Benn as leverage as they spin the hammer and swap places, allowing Rambeau to strongly strike Dar-Benn, causing her to fly back.[29][44]
They continue fighting until Dar-Benn pins Ms. Marvel against a wall, giving Rambeau the opportunity to throw the Universal Weapon at Dar-Benn. Upon contact, Dar-Benn goes flying into the wall and falls to the ground as rubble lands on top of her. A metal pipe impales Dar-Benn in the abdomen as she lands.[29][44]
As Dar-Benn lays there dying, she blames Captain Marvel for the Kree Civil War. Ms. Marvel demands the bangle, but Dar-Benn refuses, saying Danvers should repay the Kree. Rambeau agrees, saying that Danvers could actually use her powers to restore Pama. Dar-Benn realizes this could work and agrees. Danvers then goes to lift the rubble off of Dar-Benn, allowing the Kree supremor to betray them and grab her Universal Weapon. She then pins Khan to the ground, threatening her life.[29][44]
Dar-Benn then takes the second bangle off of Khan and puts it on. Danvers flies at Dar-Benn as Rambeau covers Khan for protection. Danvers catches Dar-Benn before she could use both bands and flies her out into space. Danvers fails to take the bangles off of Dar-Benn who kicks her away and slams the bangles together. Much like Rambeau and Ty-Rone predicted, the power overloads Dar-Benn, causing her to explode. The extra power then rips open the Universal Neural Teleportation Network, causing a rift to another universe to open.[29][44]
Rambeau and Khan get up and realize their powers are not entangled anymore. Rambeau then flies out and grabs the unconscious Danvers. Then Khan grabs them both with her hard light and brings them back to safety. When Danvers wakes up, Khan hugs her, but the threat is not done as they look out onto a rift.[29][44]
Danvers gives Khan both bangles as Rambeau explains that to close the rift, Khan and Danvers have to blast her with the same amount of energy that produced the rift so that Rambeau could close it from the inside. With both bands, Khan blasts Rambeau alongside Danvers. This powers Rambeau to the point where she starts glowing white. Seeing Rambeau in front of her, Danvers tells her that Maria Rambeau would be proud. Monica then says "higher, further, faster," the slogan she and Maria repeated to each other, to which Danvers repeats.[29][44]
Monica Rambeau flies out to through the rift and into the other universe. She then starts to close the rift. Once the process begins, Danvers tells Rambeau to get back to their side. However, Rambeau says that she cannot as she knows she has to finish the job, meaning she would be trapped in the other universe. Danvers does not take this well and flies out to try and grab Rambeau, but she is too late as the rift closes with Rambeau stuck on the other side.[29][44]
Danvers flies back to Khan on the verge of tears as the two cry together in a hug. Back on Earth, the Hoopty arrives with only Khan stepping out. She is greeted by her family as Muneeba Khan asks why she is crying. Kamala does not answer as she approaches Fury, telling him that they lost Rambeau and Danvers went to fulfill a promise.[29][44]
Captain Marvel passes Hala in binary form and flies straight through Pama, reigniting it. The Kree on the planet smile as they take in their restored planet. She then looks over her old home planet before flying away.[29][44]
Still trapped under Wanda Maximoff's spell, "Agnes O'Connor" believes herself to receive a call from the Chief of Police with a murder that only she can solve.[29][42]
Believing herself to be driving, "O'Connor" hums a song to herself while believing she is driving to a crime scene. She goes outside and takes pictures of John Collins' front lawn, coming across Collins. Collins greets her, and "O'Connor" claims to have been called by the policecaptain with a case only she can solve.[29][42]
"O'Connor" believes herself to hear Collins explain that anonymous body was found with a library borrowing card. Collins "explains" that the woman was crushed, and "O'Connor" suggests that she might not be dead. "O'Connor" sees the body and becomes uncomfortable as the victims' fingers appear the same as Wanda Maximoff's when during the Battle of Westview. "O'Connor" orders the collecting of samples and walks away.[29][42]
"O'Connor" comes across a locket in what she believes to be a puddle, picking it up. She hears Collins appear and hides the locket, believing Collins to be asking if "O'Connor" is ready to watch the officers roll the body. "O'Connor" "watches" and approaches the "body," wondering aloud who she is and what happened to her. Collins asks if she is okay as she does not seem like herself, prompting "O'Connor" to ask what she means. She angrily explains that she is upset about the body and tells Collins to tell her when the victim's dental records come in, storming off.[29][42]
"O'Connor" visits what she believes to be the Westview Public Library, skipping past the line and declaring it official police business. The librarian, Sarah Proctor, says something which "O'Connor" hears as asking if she does the same at the supermarket, leading "O'Connor" to express impatience with lines. "O'Connor" shows Proctor the library card, but Proctor says something which "O'Connor" hears as saying that the library has switched to digital.[29][42]
"O'Connor" loudly asks where she was at the time of the victim's death, so Proctor speaks, which "O'Connor" hears as her agreeing to search the title of the book: Dialogue And Rhetoric: Known History Of Learning & Debate by Andrew Ugo. "O'Connor" hears Proctor say that the book was stolen three years prior, but that they have more copies. In what "O'Connor" believes to be natural sciences, she finds the shelf where the book is kept charred. She sees "Dennis Webber" say that a fire destroyed every last copy of the book.[29][42]
"O'Connor" "drives" to what she believes to be the Westview Police Station, where she sees Harold Proctor, refusing to accept an apology he did not give. "O'Connor" tells Proctor about the fire at the library and a stain on her shirt. Proctor says something which "O'Connor" hears as soil samples from the victim's body matched European soil. Rio Vidal then appears, upsetting "O'Connor," who sees Vidal as a federal agent. "O'Connor" yells at Proctor, who leaves her and Vidal alone.[29][42]
Vidal sits down, prompting "O'Connor" to ask why she is there. Vidal says that she is doing her job, but "O'Connor" accuses her of wanting to take control of the investigation, but Vidal insists that "O'Connor" can be in control if she wants. "O'Connor" asks if Vidal plans on taking over because the body was likely moved across state lines, prompting Vidal to realize the spell's power and decide to play along and ask about the case.[29][42]
"O'Connor" suggests that the killer carried the victim, but Vidal points out the lack of footprints, suggesting she magically appeared. "O'Connor" insists they focus on reality and that cases like these are about the place and the secrets in the place. Vidal then suggests that "O'Connor" is well suited due to her having lived their her whole life. "O'Connor" scoffs and goes to the door, asking Vidal to leave. Vidal obliges, saying she will see "O'Connor."[29][42]
At what "O'Connor" believes to be Cash for Gold Jewelry, "O'Connor" gives Abilash Tandon the locket she found. Tandon says something which "O'Connor" hears as confirming its authenticity, asking where she got it. "O'Connor" asks for information about it and hears Tandon say that it is from North America in the late late 17th century and pointing out the Triple Goddess logo. Tandon opens it, causing "O'Connor" to notice that someone's hair is inside. She stares at it and asks how much Tandon is offering to buy it for. She hears Tandon offer two hundred dollars, but takes it and suggests it will be the starting point for the locket on an eBay auction as she leaves.[29][42]
William Kaplan and Eddie drive to their meeting place with the person who will reveal information about the Westview Anomaly, although Eddie is nervous. Kaplan gets excited as he sees the contact appear and cover security cameras. Eddie suggests that they will get murdered, but Kaplan gets out of the car.[29][5]
Kaplan and Eddie approach the contact, who reveals himself to be Ralph Bohner. Bohner checks Kaplan for a wire, and Eddie lifts up his shirt before Bohner can do the same for him. Kaplan asks what Bohner remembers about Westview, so Bohner tells him about the experiences the citizens of Westview had being controlled by Wanda Maximoff.[29][5]
Kaplan asks if the experience gave Bohner abilities, but Bohner only says he has regular nightmares. Bohner denies any other other information, but Kaplan hears him thinking that he does not want to be asked about Agatha Harkness. Kaplan asks anyway, frustrating Bohner. Bohner sprays them all with witch repellant and tries to leave.[29][5]
Kaplan convinces Bohner to talk, so Bohner first performs an act to ward off Harkness. Bohner says that his suffering was worse than that of the rest of Westview due to Harkness taking him over and puppeteering him, making him hold Monica Rambeau hostage, be a bad influence on Maximoff and Vision's children, and poison a dog. Kaplan asks about Maximoff and Vision's kids' names, so Bohner says they were Billy Maximoff and Tommy Maximoff. Kaplan hears that Billy could read minds and asks what happened to the twins. Bohner speculates that they disappeared with the rest of the Westview Anomaly.[29][5]
Bohner explains that he fled Westview and would never return, revealing that he was still there and acting like a normal resident. Bohner gets upset when Kaplan suggests that Harkness is harmless and advises Kaplan to stay away from Harkness. Kaplan pays Bohner.[29][5]
Anticipating Eddie visiting, Jeff Kaplan makes his pot roast, knowing that Eddie likes it.[29][5]
William returns home and is greeted by his parents. Jeff is disappointed that Eddie is not visiting and Rebecca Kaplan offers to watch a movie, but William says he has homework and goes upstairs.[29][5]
Kaplan begins to do research on the Maximoff family, writing their four names. He looks at his sigil while listening to Lorna Wu's version of the "Ballad of the Witches' Road." He uses Looky to search for Harkness, but instead finds threedifferentpeople named Agatha Harper. He adds "ancient witch" to the search and comes across a DreadIt post saying she survived the Salemites' mass death.[29][5]
Kaplan finds an picture of Harkness and uses reverse image search to find a page featuring her on Titanicapedia. He sees on Disaster Survivors that she was at the Hindenburg disaster. He sees her interacting with Dolly Parton and finds a link to her Brujapedia article describing her past, including her surviving of the Witches' Road, which he connects to the Ballad.[29][5]
Kaplan sees in The Witch's Pocket Book that the Road returns what is missing. He realizes that Tommy Maximoff is missing and turns back to the record playing the Ballad. He takes his stuff and drives away.[29][5]
In what she believes to be the police station, "O'Connor" looks at the library borrowing card. She notices that the first letter of each word in the book's title spell out a word. She starts to write it out, but becomes overwhelmed after writing "DARKH." She sees Proctor telling her to go home, but "O'Connor" simply says that she is home. She sees Proctor turn off the light in her office and insist that she go home. Tired, "O'Connor" puts her face in her hand.[29][42]
In the early hours, "Agnes O'Connor" believes herself to be driving home. She sees a child's bedroom and opens the door, getting emotional as she sees things belonging to a first grader. She hears a knock at the and angrily answers it. She sees Rio Vidal, noting the difficulties of female police officers having a social life and offering pizza.[29][42]
William Kaplan drives to Agatha Harkness' house and parks across the street, first seeing the empty plot that used to be the Vision Residence. He sees in his spell book that the spell to release Harkness requires a person item. He texts Eddie to thank him for protecting him from Ralph Bohner, and Eddie replies that Kaplan is his heart, using a black heart emoji. He assures himself that it is a good idea and approaches the house.[29][5]
Kaplan watches through the window as[5] "O'Connor" gets drinks and tells Vidal a story about a rookie police officer she believes herself to have been training. "O'Connor" says she got a lead, and Vidal hesitantly allows her to continue despite it not being the purpose of her visit. ""O'Connor" says that there was a car accident in Eastview prior to the death. Vidal jokes about how far it is, prompting "O'Connor" to insist that she travels. However, upon being pressed, "O'Connor" cannot think of where she has been.[29][42]
Vidal asks about the car crash, so O'Connor gives details about it. However, Vidal realizes that "O'Connor" does not believe it to be the solution, and "O'Connor" agrees that she is likely seeing the case wrong despite her certainty that the murder and the crash are related. Vidal asks if "O'Connor" remembers why she hates Vidal, to which "O'Connor" says she does not. Vidal asks if "O'Connor" is hiding evidence, and "O'Connor" says she is not, prompting Vidal to say that "O'Connor" is lying to herself.[29][42]
Kaplan breaks into a room on the second floor and turns on the light, looking through Harkness' stuff for a personal item. He finds locket and takes it, accidentally knocking over a lamp.[29][5]
"O'Connor" and Vidal hear the noise, which "O'Connor" goes to investigate. She finds Kaplan looking through her things. She does not hear him speak, but sees him run out the window.[42] Kaplan struggles to get to ground level, and "O'Connor" slips off the roof as Kaplan tries to check on "O'Connor." However, "O'Connor" shouts that she is with the police, so Kaplan runs.[5] "O'Connor" chases after Kaplan as he jumps over a fence.[42] Kaplan trips over a garbage can,[5] which "O'Connor" sees as him pushing it over purposely. Kaplan pushes "O'Connor" into a fence and keeps running, with "O'Connor" behind. Kaplan accidentally runs into Sharon Davis' car, which "O'Connor" sees as knocking him over.[29][42]
"O'Connor" rushes over to where she believes Kaplan to be and checks if he is okay.[42] Davis gets out of the car and calls Kaplan a hooligan,[5] which "O'Connor" hears as saying that he appeared out of nowhere. "O'Connor" yells at Davis to get back in the car, so Davis obliges. "O'Connor" confirms that Kaplan is alive and "arrests" him,[42] in actuality taking him to her house.[29][5]
"O'Connor" and Vidal look at Kaplan, and "O'Connor" explains that he has refused to say his name. Vidal asks if Kaplan stole anything, so "O'Connor" explains that he did not, but did try to. "O'Connor" says that she intends to question Kaplan, so Vidal encourages her.[29][42]
"O'Connor" approaches Kaplan,[42] not hearing as he tries to apologize for the chaos and explain.[5] "O'Connor" asks what compelled him to break into a decorated detective's home. Kaplan expresses surprise that she is a detective,[5] which "O'Connor" hears as revealing that he knows "O'Connor" was suspended. "O'Connor" shifts the focus to Kaplan, insisting asking what he was looking for in her house.[42] Kaplan says that he planned to release her from the spell and asks for water,[5] which "O'Connor" hears as a sarcastic comment about "O'Connor" not being fulfilled in life.[29][42]
"O'Connor" kicks Kaplan, pushing him over much more in her illusion than in real life. "O'Connor" falsely[5] hears Vidal remind her not to be too hard on him, so "O'Connor" believes herself to be saying that she is dangerous because of the things he is teasing her about.[42] In reality, she just repeatedly insists that Kaplan does not want to mess with her.[5] "O'Connor" hears silence from Kaplan,[42] despite Kaplan's repeated agreement,[5] satisfying her.[42] She asks what he wanted, and Kaplan says that he wants the Witches' Road,[5] which "O'Connor" hears as simply the Road." "O'Connor" asks what road, so Kaplan says that she should know.[29][42]
She sees blackness on Kaplan's hands matching the murder victim's, which she hears him excuse as being ink from getting fingerprinted[42] despite him not saying anything.[5] "O'Connor" tells Kaplan about the body and asks where he was at the time of the murder,[42] so Kaplan realizes that he had been cast as a teen who did not commit the main story but rather another crime and asks to work with "O'Connor,"[5] but "O'Connor" simply hears him say he was asleep. "O'Connor" dramatically takes her notepad and writes the alibi, suggesting he is either a loser or lying.[29][42]
"O'Connor" shows pictures of the victim, but Kaplan gets stressed, saying he only sees flowers. "O'Connor" sees the flowers too and turns to "Vidal," which she realizes is just a painting upon Kaplan's prompting,[42] causing Kaplan to realize she heard that bit. While Harkness begins to realize what is happening,[5] Kaplan chants an incantation[42] to release her from the spell she is under.[29][5]
"O'Connor" stands Kaplan up and believes herself to be putting handcuffs on him,[42] but in reality ties him up with duct tape.[5] Believing herself to be putting him in a jail cell,[42] she actually puts Kaplan in a closet in her house as Kaplan shouts that he does not want to go back in the closet.[29][5]
At what she believes to be the Westview Coroner's Office, "O'Connor" struggles to convince herself that there was truly a dead body at the crime scene. She sees the laboratory empty and closes her eyes. She describes the victim and opens her eyes, causing the body to appear on a gurney. She realizes that the victim had scarlet hair and sees the borrowing card tied to her toe. "O'Connor" takes the toe as the last name on the borrowing card appears, that of Wanda Maximoff.[29][42]
Vidal returns and asks if the case is closed, so "O'Connor" asks how she died. However, Vidal says it is the wrong question. Vidal explains that Maximoff's death resulted in "O'Connor" becoming trapped in the spell. Vidal tells "O'Connor" that she does not have to stay in the spell, prompting "O'Connor" to feel hot and start taking her clothes off. Vidal tells "O'Connor" to break herself free as "O'Connor" finds herself in a new outfit.[29][42]
"O'Connor" takes that outfit off and finds herself in yet more new clothes. She takes this outfit off and approaches a mirror, shocked to find herself in an outfit she wore during the Westview Anomaly. She continues taking the outfits off and collapses, emerging in the first outfit she war during the anomaly. Vidal tells "O'Connor" that their are two mysterious women in the case, asking what "O'Connor's" name is.[29][42]
"O'Connor" looks at the borrowing card again and sees her own name, Agatha Harkness appear above Maximoff's. She turns around and takes off the dress she is wearing, leaving her naked in the living room of her house. She takes a deep breath and looks around, screaming at her predicament.[29][42]
Without getting dressed, Harkness leaves her house and approaches John Collins, demanding to know how long she had been living in Westview. Collins reveals that it has been three years, causing Harkness to become angry with Maximoff. Collins explains that the residents of Westview avoid Maximoff's name, which Harkness suggests is due to cowardice.[29][42]
Collins explains that she was mostly a good neighbor and that the past few days she had been acting as a detective. Harkness realizes that she had been saying nonsense for three years and that all of Westview were simply humoring her. Collins explains that people would try to help by bringing groceries and checking on her. Harkness sees Sarah and Harold Proctor watching Harkness with their child, shouting the roles they had in her illusions as they return inside. She does the same for Abilash Tandon as he approaches on a jog, but turns around.[29][42]
Collins tries to put a shirt on her, but Harkness throws it off. Collins notes that Harkness is unusually lucid and seems powerful, catching Harkness' attention. Collins calls Harkness "Agnes," but Harkness corrects him. As Harkness returns to her house, Collins corrects himself and asks her to put on clothes.[29][42]
Inside her house, Harkness realizes she has lost her magic and puts on a robe. She goes into the basement and sees that her magic lair had disappeared. She picks up Señor Scratchy and expresses frustration with Maximoff, cuddling the rabbit. She says she needs to get back on top, but hears a thud from upstairs.[29][42]
Harkness goes upstairs to investigate and puts Señor Scratchy down, approaching the closet which is the source of the noise. She opens it and finds the mysterious Teen, realizing that she kidnapped him. Harkness realizes that the teen's presence meant Vidal was real as well.[29][42]
Just then, the door to Harkness' house explodes, allowing Vidal to walk in. Vidal summons a wind to throw off Harkness' balance and pushes her into a wall, holding a knife to her throat. Vidal says that she missed Harkness, but Harkness simply says that she hates Vidal. Vidal accuses Harkness of hiding behind dark magic from the Darkhold, taunting her about her vulnerability due to losing the Darkhold.[29][42]
Harkness hits Vidal's head into the wall and stabs the wall with her knife, but Vidal grabs Harkness' neck and kicks her back. Vidal throws her knife at Harkness, who deflects it. They both go to grab it, with Harkness grabbing the blade and bleeding. Vidal teases Harkness about the feeling of pain. Harkness slaps Vidal and they resume fighting, with Harkness getting the upper hand. Vidal notes that Harkness cannot kill her, but Harkness retorts that Vidal is not allowed to kill Harkness.[29][42]
Vidal hits Harkness back and rights herself, throwing Harkness into another wall. Vidal expresses intent to torture Harkness, but Harkness stops her. She says that Vidal does not want her powerless. She starts to ask about her preferences for Harkness, but Vidal replies that her preference for Agatha is horizontal in a grave. Vidal suggests that Harkness take her power, but Harkness knows that it would kill her. Harkness tells Vidal to return once she has her power back. Vidal says that there are other people who want her dead, suggesting that she could simply watch.[29][42]
Harkness flirts with Vidal, noting that she loves the anticipation of waiting. Vidal puts the knife away and reaches to caress her, but Harkness backs away. Vidal warns that she is going to tell the Salem Seven where to find Harkness, suspecting that they will arrive by sundown and she will die. Harkness says that Vidal does not have a hard, but Vidal insists that her heart is black and beats for Harkness. Vidal licks the blood off of Harkness' hand, healing her cut, and leaves. Harkness turns to the teen, remembering his presence.[29][42]
Harkness hurries to leave and complains about the situation she is in while Teen attempts to walk around. As Harkness tries to give him the house, Teen manages to get the duct tape off his mouth and asks to be taken to the Witches' Road, giving Harkness pause. Harkness says that the Road does not exist, but Teen insists that it is a lie witches say to gatekeep against amateurs. Teen expresses his belief that the Road will grant him what he wants most.[29][32]
Harkness insists that a kid would not survive, but he reminds Harkness that he is a teenager. Harkness says that she only survived because of her skill, and Teen admits to having researched her. Teen reveals that he was the one who saved her, prompting her to ask why Teen wants the Road. Teen claims to want more power, noting that Harkness is also missing it. However, Harkness refuses.[29][32]
Teen suggests that Harkness cannot outrun the Salem Seven as Harkness finds her locket and looks at Nicholas Scratch's hair inside. She asks Teen his name,[32] so he says that his name is William Kaplan.[5] However, Harkness cannot hear the name as a sigil forms over his mouth.[32] Harkness asks him to say it again, so this time he says his name is Billy Maximoff,[5] which Harkness still cannot hear due to the sigil, interesting Harkness.[29][32]
Harkness agrees and goes to the fake car she had in her illusion before realizing that it is fake. She pretends to have been looking for a pair of scissors and drops it in front of Teen, insisting that he drive.[29][32]
Harkness and Teen leave her house as Harkness asks what Teen knows about covens. Teen explains that covens are drawn together by fate, and are a true form of sisterhood. Teen asks if they are going to meet Harkness' coven, but Harkness explains that they died. However, she says that they need a coven to access the Witches' Road. She sees the land where the Vision Residence stood, giving her pause. She spits on the lawn and gets in Teen's car.[29][32]
As Teen drives, he asks if they are going the right way. Eddie calls, but Teen hangs up and explains that he worries about Teen. Teen asks where to find a coven, so Harkness explains the Covenstead Rule, saying that within any three-mile radius there is a collection of witches who can make a coven. Teen asks her to write it down, but Harkness throws his pen out the window.[29][32]
Teen notes that they are unlikely to find witches as high profile as Harkness, but Harkness explains that even less powerful witches give a magic spark when in proximity with each other. Harkness sees Madame Calderu's Psychic Readings and tells Teen to stop. Teen asks if there is a real with there, so Harkness sarcastically suggests finding out if she knows the secret handshake. Harkness tells Teen that there is no real handshake, and Teen says that he is optimistic.[29][32]
Harkness and Teen enter the store, where they are greeted by Lilia Calderu. Harkness introduces the pair as a mother and son who have lost Teen's father and wanting to know about gold bars the father buried. Calderu charges Teen and asks if the dead man played golf, which Harkness "confirms." Calderu performs a fake reading, upsetting Harkness. Calderu reveals that the bars are in a bowling bag in his closet.[29][32]
Just as Harkness is about to give up, Calderu reveals her knowledge that Harkness had her agency stolen by someone she hurt for three years, and that it's not the first time witches betrayed her. Calderu says that she is not interested, surprising Teen.[29][32]
Harkness and Teen follow Calderu into the backroom, where Calderu says that no right-minded witch would join Harkness coven.[32] Calderu gets taken over by herself from the future, screaming as she believes herself to still be in the Witches' Road Cabin during the Spirit Witch Trial. Realizing what time she is in, she turns to Harkness and Teen,[50] leading Harkness to conclude they went to the right place.[32] waves her hands next to her head, trying to get her movement through time to stop.[29][50]
Harkness compliments her skill, but Calderu explains that she did not use any witchcraft, but rather recited Harkness' reputation. She scolds Harkness for being part of the reason there are negative stereotypes against witches. Harkness insults Calderu by understating her age and comments on her financial situation. Calderu says she prefers it to being chased out of villages for her ability. Harkness says she intends to walk the Witches Road, which Calderu says is a death wish.[29][32]
Calderu gets upset that Harkness is asking her to join her coven. Calderu suspects Harkness of wanting to steal her power, so Harkness quietly approaches Calderu and reveals that she can only steal the power of witches who blast her with it. Harkness shows Calderu an eviction notice issued to Calderu by Three Star Rentals, offering to let her return to glory. Calderu takes the notice and asks them to leave.[29][32]
Calderu gets taken over by her future self from during the Divination Witch Trial, writes the names of her coven members and sees the Three Star Rentals logo, connecting it to the Three of Pentacles and realizing that a coven is what she is missing. She returns to her future self's body.[50] Calderu hands Harkness the list, asking to be left out of it, but Harkness reveals that Calderu is on the list. Teen gives Harkness the address for Harkness' house and the two leaves.[29][32]
Outside, Teen expresses excitement about knowing precisely who to look for, asking who is next. Harkness turns around and sees Crow, looking to her briefly. Teen snaps Harkness out of her distraction, again asking who is next. Harkness asks and becomes frustrated with who she has to see.[29][32]
At Kale Kare, Jennifer Kale attempts to sell probiotic edible candles to a couple. Harkness and Teen then enter as Harkness asks for jade eggs, offering to share with the couple and chasing them out. Kale notes that she was purposely avoiding Harkness, but Harkness asks Kale to join her coven so they can walk the Witches' Road. Kale believes it is dangerous, but Harkness says that she could unbind herself. Kale realizes that she is exposed without the Darkhold. They taunt each other about the others' status as witches.[29][32]
Harkness prepares to leave, but Teen compliments Kale's social media presence. Kale asks Harkness if she plans to sacrifice Teen, who expresses condolences for Kale's legal troubles with the class action lawsuit. Harkness looks at the report, and Teen says that he sides with Kale except for the people who needed skin grafts from her projects. Teen notes that she is likely to get a life sentence, suggesting that a powerful witch could avoid the troubles. Kale gets offended, but Teen simply leaves Harkness' address and says to join them. Harkness leaves with a jade egg as Kale contemplates.[29][32]
Outside, Teen says that they need to find two more people, but Harkness says they only need one. Teen tries to look at the list, but Harkness swallows it. They return to the car as Teen expresses surprise about her eating the list, which Harkness denies. Harkness says that she wants a corn dog.[29][32]
On the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station, Dag and Talia pack up Monica Rambeau's belongings when Nick Fury asks how everything is. Dag replies that the planets are expected to make a full recovery and a team of scientists were sent to Hala to help. Fury says that is not what he meant and is talking about Rambeau. Dag looks down solemnly as he packs a picture of Rambeau.[51][44]
In Louisiana, Carol Danvers starts moving into the Rambeau Residence with help from Kamala Khan and her family. Muneeba Khan makes fun of Danvers' kitchen items, as well as a golden plate given to her by Prince Yan. Danvers says that Muneeba can keep it. Yusuf Khan talks about the new perspective he has after being to space, and Aamir Khan says that the experience was cool.[51][44]
Kamala tells Danvers that the house is very nice, to which Danvers agrees. Kamala then asks if the plane in the lawn has been flown. The two leave to check it out, but not before Kamala hugs Muneeba. Muneeba then talks to Aamir Khan, saying it would be a nice place to raise a family. Aamir uses a television remote to jokingly mute her.[51][44]
Kamala gets in the pilot's seat of the plane and asks to fly it, but Danvers says she does not have the key and is just looking after it until Rambeau returns. Kamala says she misses Rambeau and they were good together, which got her thinking of putting together a team.[51][44]
At the Westview Shopping Mall, Harkness eats a corn dog and explains that they are looking for a blood witch, the daughter of Lorna Wu. Teen gets excited, being a fan of Wu's band and her version of the "Ballad of the Witches' Road." Harkness sees Rat watching her and decides to leave, leaving her food behind. Teen throws out the food.[29][32]
In Hot Topic, Harkness looks at the next coven member, Alice Wu-Gulliver, who is working at as a security. Harkness tells Teen that Wu-Gulliver's mother is rumored to have died on the Witches' Road, exciting Teen. Harkness plants a piece of jewelry in Teen's pocket and tells him to run, leading Wu-Gulliver to pin him down. Harkness introduces herself and asks her to join them. Wu-Gulliver's boss at Westview Shopping Mall Security appears, and Harkness accuses Wu-Gulliver of assault. Wu-Gulliver's boss fires her.[29][32]
As Wu-Gulliver leaves, Harkness follows and claims it is fortunate circumstances that she was fired the day they plan to go to the Witches' Road. Wu-Gulliver says that Harkness is dangerous and that the Road is not real. Harkness says that the Road could reveal to her what happened to her mother if it were real, but Wu-Gulliver leaves. Teen gets upset that he did not give Wu-Gulliver the address to meet, but Harkness says they do not need Wu-Gulliver and tells him to leave with her.[29][32]
Driving back to Harkness' house, Teen asks if two witches are enough and how far the Road is. Harkness turns to Teen and asks where he is from. She hears Teen say that he was born in Eastview, but is unable to hear the rest of his explanation. She snaps in her ear and turns on the radio, hearing those sounds. She stares at Teen and simply tells him to drive faster, confusing him.[29][32]
Teen finishes putting up a welcome sign and asks if it is centered. Harkness rips it down, but Kale arrives and suggests leaving it. Teen offers Kale an appetizer, but Calderu arrives and eats it.[32] Calderu gets taken over by her consciousness from the future during the Divination Witch Trial and refers to Kale as The High Priestess, connecting her binding to the card. Calderu returns to the Divination trial[5] as Kale introduces herself. Calderu realizes that Kale is bound, but Kale insults Calderu.[29][32]
Wu-Gulliver arrives and tells Harkness about her door not being attached. Teen starts to ask how Wu-Gulliver found the witches, but Wu-Gulliver simply says that her formerly being with the Eastview Police Department will answer a lot of questions. Harkness prepares to leave, but Kale asks where their Green Witch is. Harkness tries to convince the witches that they do not need one, but Kale the others insist that they do according to "The Ballad of the Witches' Road." Teen reveals that Harkness is hiding a name, asking Calderu what it was, so Calderu says that it she wrote a black heart rather than a name. Harkness pretends to realize who it is and leaves her house.[29][32]
Harkness approaches Sharon Davis, pretending to still be stuck as "Agnes O'Connor" and believing her to be "Mrs. Hart." Davis corrects Harkness about her name, and Harkness compliments Davis' garden. Harkness invites Davis to a "party," exciting Davis. Davis goes to get her purse and agrees to join.[29][32]
In Harkness basement, Harkness' newly-formed coven pace nervously as Harkness explains to Teen that they need to summon a door to the Road. Davis expresses confusion and Harkness sends Teen upstairs, promising to tell Teen when the Road appears. The coven form a circle as Harkness explains that when they sing "The Ballad of the Witches' Road," a door will appear. While the coven work out vocal parts for the Ballad,[32] Calderu suddenly gets possessed by her future self from during the Divination Witch Trial, right as Harkness was pushing her out of the way of a falling sword. She yells for Harkness to get off her, then leaves and goes to herself from their time at a campfire later.[29][50]
Upstairs, Teen wanders and picks up Señor Scratchy. He hears a noise from outside while the coven in the basement sing the Ballad. Davis asks if she is supposed to know the song, but the coven carries on without her. Harkness hits her pitch bell, setting a new key as they continue to sing.[29][32]
Teen goes outside and sees a member of the Salem Seven appear. John Collins turns to Teen and asks if he sees it too. The Salem Seven reveal all of themselves, prompting Collins to flee. Teen rushes inside with Señor Scratchy. Downstairs, the coven all join hands and continue singing while Teen closes the curtain and uses a couch to cover the doorway. He looks out and does not see the Salem Seven.[29][32]
Davis starts to sing along with the coven as they return to the refrain. They end the Ballad, but nothing happens. Harkness says that it did not take that long last time, causing the coven to start to argue while Davis says that they sounded good.[29][32]
Teen sits down, nervous about the Seven's appears but a member of the Seven breaks through the window and attacks Teen, causing him to run. Wu-Gulliver hears the commotion and asks what is happening. Harkness asks the covens where the real witches are, insulting them. She refers to the coven as rejects as Kale and Wu-Gulliver prepare to attack. However, Calderu realizes that Harkness' plan is to get the coven to attack so that she could steal their power.[29][32]
Harkness says that only a true coven can open the door as the commotion upstairs gets worse. Harkness shouts for the witches to blast her, when Davis speaks up and notices a door has appeared,[32] surprising Harkness as the Road was made up by her.[52] Calderu tells Harkness to open it.[29][32]
Teen stands in the middle of the room and gets overwhelmed by the appearance of the Salem Seven. One member appears in the room, leading Teen to rush downstairs as Harkness opens the door to the Road with the help of the rest of the coven, revealing a stairwell. Harkness examines the dirt from the first stairwell as Teen rushes into the basement and down the stairs,[32] causing Harkness to realize that Teen caused the Road to appear and who he is.[52] The coven hear the Seven scream, leading them to go down the stairs, including Davis. Harkness watches a member of the Seven descend and closes the door behind her. The Seven try to open the door, but cannot, allowing Harkness to admire the Road.[29][32]
The coven reach the bottom of the stairs and see the Witches' Road. They look around, and Harkness leads them all in taking off their shoes out of respect for the Road. Davis struggles to take her shoes off. Harkness says that she never doubted them and leads her coven in their walk down the Road.[29][32]
As the coven walk, Teen says that the Road is how he pictured it. Harkness agrees, saying it suits him. Wu-Gulliver and Calderu share in their reactions to the Road being real as Davis accuses the witches of kidnapping her. Davis tries to call the Westview Police Department while the coven discuss the chase. Davis gets frustrated by the lack of cell service and the group resume walking.[29][53]
Davis speaks up as a member of the Westview Historical Society, sharing that she only would have expected to see the remnants of WV Metro. Kale yells at her for not being helpful, for which Harkness pretends to stand up for her. Calderu realizes that the witches will be confronted by their worst nightmares, which Wu-Gulliver explains will be trials. The coven ask Harkness what the trials are like as they believe her to have walked the Road before.[29][53]
Harkness claims that each skill will receive a trial, and Teen suggests the less powerful witches use analog magic. Kale asks who Teen is, but the sigil on him prevents them from hearing the answer. The coven turn to Harkness accusatorially, but Harkness denies having cast it. Wu-Gulliver explains that Teen is hidden from witches. Harkness says that she does not know it is hidden, asking the group to focus on the Road.[29][53]
The coven realize that Davis had disappeared as Davis wanders off the Road. Davis sits down to catch her breath and puts her purse down, but the purse starts to get swallowed by quicksand. She tries to pull the purse up and begins to get pulled under herself. She screams, allowing the coven to find her. Wu-Gulliver and Teen pull her out of the quicksand. Davis complains, and Harkness tells everyone not to step off the Road, which Teen realizes is reminiscent of lyrics in the Ballad.[29][53]
Davis says that they have nowhere to walk to, but Kale turns around and sees a beach house. The coven all notice it and Wu-Gulliver asks if it had always been there. Harkness suggests they stop asking and they all approach the beach house.[29][53]
They reach the house and admire it, which Davis suggests could be the end of the Road, but Teen says that would be disappointing. They notice the full moon on the door, marking it as the water phase. Davis rings the doorbell, but the coven all walk in, frustrating Davis. They find themselves in new outfits appropriate for the setting and admire the inside while Harkness tries to find a way to leave. Kale looks in a mirror and find that she looks like one of her customers.[29][53]
Wu-Gulliver and Harkness realize that none of the doors and windows open while Davis admires the kitchen. Teen finds a card on the mantle, which Kale takes and reads it as an invitation to the trial. Kale reads a riddle on the back while Davis admires the card stock. Davis sees a bottle of wine on the table and tells the coven, causing them to realize that it is the answer to the riddle.[29][53]
Davis takes the bottle, but Wu-Gulliver is hesitant to let her drink as they do not know what will happen. Harkness says that something bad will happen, but they can only leave by participating in the trials. Teen and Kale go to the built-in bar to get a corkscrew, where Kale advises Teen not to trust Harkness. She shares the rumor that Harkness traded her son for the Darkhold, which Teen is hesitant to believe. Kale finds the corkscrew and returns to the group.[29][53]
The coven pour themselves glasses of wine, and Davis is the first to drink hers. She drinks the whole glass at once, saying she had a difficult day. Just then, a timer starts a thirty-second countdown. The rest of the coven toast, refusing to allow Teen to have it as Davis suggests talking on the couches. Davis drinks a second glass while the rest of the coven have their first, except Harkness.[29][53]
Teen compliments Wu-Gulliver on her tattoo, but Wu-Gulliver refuses to talk about it. Harkness dumps her wine while Wu-Gulliver decides to open up, revealing that she got the tattoo in Colorado while her mother was on tour. Teen recognizes the symbol as warding off curses, so Wu-Gulliver explains that her mother made her get it due to the Wu Family Curse. Wu-Gulliver says she was thirteen when it happened, so Teen says a lot happened to him at thirteen. Wu-Gulliver compliments Teen's hair and the eyeliner in his typical look.[29][53]
Davis gets the coven's attention and asks if "witch" is being used as another term for "bad girl." Calderu takes offense to this, blaming Halloween for the stereotypes against them. Davis shares that she would drink a virgin's blood to get rid of her wrinkles. Davis' face suddenly swells, scaring the coven. This leads Kale to realize they were poisoned as their faces swell. Harkness tries to escape while Davis reaches for another glass of wine, but Teen takes it.[29][53]
Kale asks Davis a series of questions to figure out what they were poisoned with, but Calderu interrupts[53] as she is possessed by her future self from her time at a campfire. She finishes her sentence, saying that she loves the coven despite having hated them at first. Calderu then goes back to a lesson with her maestra,[50] leaving the coven to stare at a confused Calderu.[29][53]
The swelling quickly goes away in everyone's faces, leading Kale to realize they were poisoned with Alewife's Revenge. Kale lists the symptoms and says that the poison eventually kills its victims. Teen tries to write what she says in his grimoire, and Harkness tries to break out through the glass window. She cracks the window, but Wu-Gulliver stops her. Teen realizes that she did not drink the poison, leading the rest of the coven to pressure her into doing so. Harkness at first refuses, but gives in when Teen threatens to drink it instead.[29][53]
Davis starts experiencing flashbacks to Wanda Maximoff nearly causing Todd Davis to die during the Westview Anomaly and passes out. Harkness tells Kale to brew an antidote, so the coven go to the kitchen. Kale says they need frankincense and the gut of a eusocial insect, which Teen and Wu-Gulliver go to retrieve. She asks for zooplankton from petroleum products, which Calderu and Harkness go to look for. Kale turns to the sink as a couldron.[29][53]
Harkness and Calderu go to the garage, but find there is no gas car from which to retrieve petroleum. They go to the bathroom in hopes of finding petroleum jelly, only finding Kale Kare products. Calderu remembers that they are advertised as organic, but Harkness notes that Kale likely lies about that and suggests calling her bluff.[53] Calderu is suddenly possessed by her future self from during the Protection Witch Trial, in which she was attempting to warn Wu-Gulliver not to save Harkness. Harkness only hears the part about saving her, so she says that she likes the plan and they need the need the ingredients. Calderu then goes back to her maestra,[50] leaving her present self confused as they collect Kale products.[29][53]
Wu-Gulliver and Teen find eucalyptus, but Wu-Gulliver is drawn into a separate room while Teen collects it.[29][53]
Kale begins filling the sink with water, but stops briefly to get eye of newt. She returns to the kitchen to see the Doctor.[29][53]
Calderu and Harkness walk toward the kitchen, but stop as Calderu sees her younger self. "Young Calderu" asks if the older Calderu wants to see her former coven and walks into another room.[29][53]
The "Doctor" turns around and calls Kale an inconvenient woman.[29][53]
Calderu follows her youngerself through a hallway surrounded with plants where the lights flicker.[29][53]
"Wu" repeatedly lights a lighter while Wu-Gulliver asks if she is really there. "Wu" tells Wu-Gulliver that Wu's mother died thousands of miles away, but that she could feel it. "Wu" says that something is going to kill her, taking a drink. Wu-Gulliver takes her flask and tells her not to say that.[29][53]
Calderu discovers enters the room where her younger self went, but finds her maestra dead with Death standing over her. Calderu's breath quickens.[29][53]
The "Doctor" grabs Kale and holds her head into the sink. Kale struggles as the "Doctor" tells Kale that she is nothing.[29][53]
"Wu" shouts that she cannot protect Wu-Gulliver. Wu-Gulliver falls back and makes her way out of the room.[29][53]
Kale suddenly stands up, finding the "Doctor" to be gone.[29][53]
Calderu backs away, declaring that her entire coven was dead in Italian as she backs into Harkness. Harkness looks at Calderu sympathetically.[29][53]
Teen helps Wu-Gulliver to her feet and they both look in, finding the room to be empty. Teen tells Wu-Gulliver that he has the frankincense and to return to the kitchen. Wu-Guliver and Kale check on each other as Kale reports having found the eusocial insect gut. Harkness and Calderu return as they realize the beach house is underwater as the water starts to leak through the crack in the window.[29][53]
The coven take Davis into the kitchen and mix the ingredients together at Kale's instructions. The potion glows pink, but Kale realizes they cannot boil the sink. Teen finds a sous vide and uses it, stirring the potion at Kale's instruction. The coven take a hair out of their head at Kale's instruction, but Harkness gets distracted by a hallucination of a crying baby. She sees a crib and takes the blanket off, revealing the Darkhold.[29][53]
Harkness starts to cry when the coven snap her out of it. Harkness refuses to talk about her hallucination and rushes back over. The coven drop their hairs in at once and hold hands. They align their intentions, but the potion glows the wrong color. Kale realizes that she forgot an ingredient and panics, but Harkness grabs her and says that she left Kale alone because her work is important. Kale remembers that they need blood from someone who is not poisoned, so Harkness cuts Teen, dumping his blood in.[29][53]
The coven all drink the potion, relieved to have been cured. However, Kale notices the timer ticking, causing Wu-Gulliver to remember Davis. They cure Davis at the last second, causing her to stir. The timer goes off, ending the trial.[29][53]
The oven in the kitchen opens, providing the coven with an exit. The group are hesitant to use the exit, but the windows break, causing chaos. Kale rushes in, and Teen gets Calderu to go. Wu-Gulliver tries to take Davis, but Harkness suggests leaving her. Teen says that they do not know what would happen if they did, causing Harkness to hesitantly agree to take her. Wu-Gulliver, Harkness, and Teen list Davis into the oven, and she is followed by Teen. Harkness goes through, followed by Wu-Gulliver. The oven closes behind Wu-Gulliver.[29][53]
The coven slid out of the beach house and back onto the Road. Harkness is the first stand, pushing the other witches out of her way to get in front of the group. The rest of the group stand as Kale and Harkness turn to each other with accusations. Calderu suggests they remain grateful to be alive, but Teen tells them that they are not all safe, as Davis had died. The coven looks over Davis' body as Harkness does not recognize Davis' real name.[29][53]
While Teen digs a grave, Harkness looks over at Davis' grave cryptically expressing surprise that someone was able to do something. Teen asks for clarification, but Harkness just winks. Kale notes how quiet everyone is, but Calderu tells her to be respectful since they don't know if they are upsetting Wu-Gulliver. However, Wu-Gulliver explains that her mother died in a hotel fire while on tour, not on the Witches' Road. She clarifies that she is on the Road because her mother said it would save her.[29][54]
Harkness attempts to get the group to move on, but Teen and Wu-Gulliver continue digging. Harkness tries to convince Calderu and Kale to keep moving, but they refuse as they do not have a green witch. Harkness tries to claim that they do not need one anymore, leading to an argument about the lyrics of the "Ballad of the Witches' Road." They direct the question to Wu-Gulliver, who gets Harkness to admit that she was the only survivor of the Road last time she went through it.[29][54]
The coven start to argue about who is responsible for Davis' death, but Teen insists that they are all at fault since they did not look out for each other. The group refuses to move forward without a green witch, leading Harkness to suggest summoning a new green witch. They hesitantly agree and use the instructions in Teen's spell book to summon a witch, expressing their hopes for her.[29][54]
Rio Vidal crawls out of Davis' grave, scaring the coven[54] as a future version of Calderu's consciousness briefly visits before leaving for the next trial.[50] Vidal offers Harkness a flower, angering Harkness. Harkness and Teen leaves as Vidal introduces herself as the Green Witch. Vidal starts walking, leaving the other witches to watch as she skips along. They walk away,[54] leaving the door opened by the summoning spell still open.[29][55]
Teen catches up to Harkness and asks whether Vidal's presence introduces new trouble, but Harkness does not answer. Meanwhile, Calderu, Wu-Gulliver, and Kale discuss whether they can trust Vidal. Kale and Wu-Gulliver agree that they are attracted to Vidal, who briefly scares them.[29][54]
The group sees a recording studio in the distance, leading Wu-Gulliver to turn around and walk away. She explains her intention to go anywhere but there, but finds that the recording studio is again in front of her. Realizing that the Road is insisting, the coven approaches the recording studio.[29][54]
The coven reaches the door and sees a waxing moon on the door, connecting it to the fire phase. They enter the recording studio as Wu-Gulliver warns them not to touch anything. The group admire their rock band-inspired outfits. At Teen's suggestion, they start looking for the beginning of the next trial. Vidal taunts Harkness, who turns to her and simply says "no."[29][54]
Calderu looks at the paintings on the wall, emotional at the depictions of witches getting tortured. Kale sees a series of masks on the wall. Wu-Gulliver looks through the posters of various bands until she reaches Lorna Wu's. Calderu realizes that Wu was trying to open the Road with her coven of fans.[54] Calderu is suddenly possessed by her present self, who had just heard Kale describe her as both wispy and kooky. Calderu demands to know which she is, leading Wu-Gulliver to say she is being both. Calderu softens and tries to warn Wu-Gulliver not to save Harkness, but goes back in time to the Potions Witch Trial before she can finish her sentence.[50] Wu-Gulliver asks what she is not meant to do, but Calderu does not remember delivering her future self's warning.[29][54]
Harkness sits in the sound booth and is joined by Vidal, who asks about Harkness' quest for power. Vidal asks who the coven members are, saying she wants to cause damage. Vidal explains that she was summoned as the result of magic following the path of least resistance. She asks why Harkness brought Teen, so Harkness claims that she wants help from him. Harkness asks for a truce and turns on the microphone as Vidal says she wants to claim the bodies of the witches who are certain to die around Harkness.[54] Calderu is taken over by herself from the future, who quickly leaves,[50] allowing her to remember what Vidal said. Harkness feigns defense of her coven members, leading the rest of the coven to approach and demand more information about Vidal.[29][54]
Meanwhile, Teen finds a record labeled "PLAY ME" and puts it on the record player, leading to loud music. Teen explains what happened, and Harkness realizes that the record was spinning backwards. Harkness destroys the record player as Calderu realizes that the coven had been cursed. They see a metronome start ticking, which Vidal says means the trial has begun.[29][54]
Wu-Gulliver suddenly starts to feel lighter, when Calderu starts screaming in pain and shouting about burning. Wu-Gulliver casts a protection circle around Calderu, saving her. Kale asks Calderu to draw a circle around her. Teen asks how to break the curse, but Calderu explains that they can only end the curse by face it. The curse attacks Kale, so Wu-Gulliver casts a circle around her. Teen notices a burn mark on Kale's shoulder, leading them to realize that Wu-Gulliver has one as well.[29][54]
The curse flies around the room as Wu-Gulliver realizes that the Ballad of the Witches' Road was the record. Wu-Gulliver explains that she never believed in her family's curse and blamed herself for the misfortune she had experienced, including her inability to save her mother. She reveals that the curse placed on the coven is the one that was placed on her family. Wu-Gulliver apologizes, and the curse launches Teen into the sound booth.[29][54]
The coven checks on Teen, except Kale, who insists on staying in the circle. Vidal asks for their plan, leading Wu-Gulliver and Harkness to realize that they need to play Wu's version of the Ballad. Wu-Gulliver suggests that it would not work given they are already on the Road, but Teen notes that the lyrics are different. Vidal and Harkness realize that Wu's version was a protection spell that protected Wu-Gulliver her whole life whenever someone was playing it.[29][54]
The curse shrieks, leading the group to assign themselves instruments, with Teen on guitar, Kale on bass, Vidal on drums, Calderu on auxiliary percussion, Harkness as the singer, and Wu-Gulliver on piano. Wu-Gulliver begins playing, but the curse attacks Harkness. Harkness tells Wu-Gulliver to keep playing, leading the coven to begin the song. Harkness manages to write herself, giving Calderu hope that it is working.[29][54]
As the group finish the first chorus, fire appears on the walls, leading the group to become more invested in playing the song. The curse cuts Teen, but he keeps playing as the fire spreads. At the end of the bridge, Wu-Gulliver sees a demon which embodied her curse and realizes that she can kill it. She resumes playing with the coven and sings the end of another chorus. As she sings through the outro, the curse tries to kill her. However, the last measure of the song kills the demon, ending the trial.[29][54]
The piano opens, revealing the exit from the recording studio. However, Teen collapses from his wound. The witches take him out of the recording studio and try to save him, but realize he is losing too much blood. Calderu tries to comfort Harkness, but she scolds Calderu and pleads with Vidal not to take him. Harkness asks Kale to save him, so Wu-Gulliver gets the necessary ingredients.[29][54]
As Kale chants,[54] Calderu gets taken over by her future self from the Divination Witch Trial and connects Harkness' grief to the Three of Swords. She then returns to the Divination trial.[50] Kale pours the potion over Teen's injury and wipes it over, healing the cut. Calderu expresses pride in Kale, who smiles while Harkness looks to Vidal. The coven moves Teen to a more comfortable place..[29][54]
Harkness watches over Teen while the rest of the group sit around a campfire. Kale says that she considers her midwifery as important to her identity like being a witch, leading Wu-Gulliver to ask how she was bound. Kale says that she was told she was asked to talk on obstetrics, but tricked by a Doctor and that she was unsure of how he bound her without magick.[29][54]
Wu-Gulliver shares that Wu's death led to her refusing to believe everything that Wu taught her. She says that she hoped the Road was real so that she could stay angry. Calderu helps her voice the fact that knowing Wu's tours were for Wu-Gulliver saddens her, assuring her that sadness is better than anger. Kale gives Wu-Gulliver something to make her pressure points smell nice. Calderu vents about the rumors that spread about witches, but Vidal jokes about having extra nipples.[29][54]
Teen stirs and asks Harkness if she put the sigil on her. At first, Harkness denies it, but then realizes that she would not know if she did since they work on the witch who cast it. Teen asks if it can be lifted, but Harkness says they are destroyed when they are no longer needed. Harkness assures Teen that she knows who he is. Teen asks what happened to Harkness' son, causing Harkness to harden. She stands and tells him to heal fast, walking away.[29][54]
The coven as they compare scars as Calderu reveals that she had been bitten by a vampire.[54] A future Calderu takes over and says that they had previously hated each other, but then goes back to when her face was swollen before she can finish,[50] leaving the coven to wonder what happens to her during these episodes.[29][54]
Harkness joins the coven and updates them on Teen's state. Kale asks about Harkness' scars, so Harkness reveals that the Daughters of Liberty scarred her elbow with a knitting needle before she ended their organization. Vidal insists that she has a scar from having to do her job by hurting someone she loved, looking to Agatha as she says that her loved one is her scar.[29][54]
Harkness walks away, claiming to need to stretch. Vidal starts to follow her, but Calderu takes her arm and reminds Vidal that they heard what Vidal said in the sound booth. Vidal taunts Calderu before walking over to Harkness.[29][54]
Harkness hugs Vidal and leans in to kiss her. However, Vidal stops her, simply saying that Teen is not her son. Harkness pulls away and nods sadly, walking away from Vidal.[29][54]
Lilia Calderu wakes up from a dream about the Seven and warns the others that they need to leave. At the urging of the rest of their group, Calderu explains that the Seven are the children of the Salemites who Harkness spared after killing their mothers. They run, but realize they are surrounded.[29][55]
Teen suggests they use brooms, which the group are hesitant to accept. However, as the Seven get closer, they decide to do it. As they prepare their brooms, Teen asks why the witches hate brooms, leading Calderu to explain that they had been coopted by the public as an emblem of witch culture and as a symbol of female domesticity. Kale adds that they are basic, and pairs of witches create brooms for each other.[29][55]
Teen prepares to take a branch so that he and Alice Wu-Gulliver can create brooms for each other, but gets scared as Owl appears. Wu-Gulliver saves Teen, so the two prepare each others brooms. The group begin running and start flying on the broom as they flee the Seven. Owl calls out to the others.[29][55]
Wu-Gulliver suggests they get off the Road, so Harkness leads the way into the sky. They enjoy their position and Teen asks why they had not been doing it the whole time, leading to the Road forcing them to the ground. They resume flying but are confronted by Vertigo, who transforms into a swarm of cicadas in front of them. They all crash and rush into the Witches' Road Cabin.[29][55]
Harkness shakes a cicada outside of her hair and tries to calm Jennifer Kale's fear by explaining that the Seven cannot get it. She suggests continuing before they can reach. Wu-Gulliver comments on their new childlike outfits while Teen realizes that he dropped his spell book while on his broom. They all begin searching for the start of the next trial, which Vidal realizes by the moon phase is Harkness'.[29][55]
Calderu explains that spirit witches commune with the dead whereas she is a divination witch who reads time, and Vidal notes that Harkness is qualified to speak to the dead given her past of murder. Just then, a ouija board flies off, starling the group as everyone's toy watches begin a countdown.[29][55]
Teen reads the instructions for the ouija board. Agatha Harkness' Coven all gather around the ouija board and taunt Harkness about who is waiting to talk to her. They all put their hands on the planchette and Harkness says the incantation to summon a spirit. The planchette starts moving and confirms the presence of a spirit. Harkness asks who it is, and the letters spell out "Mrs. Hart." Calderu becomes startled as her hand flies off the ouija board, and Harkness pretends to get possessed by a vengeful Sharon Davis.[29][55]
Harkness' coven calls her out for faking it, which Harkness stops when Vidal accuses Harkness of being afriad. Harkness sits back down and summons a spirit. Harkness asks who is visiting,[55] and Calderu gets taken over by a future version of herself as the planchette spells out "Death," causing her to realize that Vidal is death. Calderu leaves the time period[50] as Vidal laughs and Teen reminds them not to ask about death, but gets shushed.[29][55]
"Death" communicates through the ouija board a desire to punish harkness, repeatedly spelling out her name. The coven argue, and Harkness takes her hand off the planchette. The ouija board flies off the table and wind starts blowing, overwhelming the coven except Vidal.[55] Calderu gets taken over by her future self from during the Divination Witch Trial and shouts the she hated this part of the trial the first time she experienced it, prompting Teen to shout that she is being weird.[50] Kale declares that they need to punish Harkness, causing the chaos to stop.[29][55]
Kale says that punishing Harkness would lead them to pass the trial, declaring that it wold help. Calderu suggests tying her up, Wu-Gulliver suggests humiliating her, while Vidal suggests killing her. Teen tries to convince the witches to stop, but Kale denies him a vote and gets rope. However, when Kale turns around, Harkness disappears and the lights turn off.[29][55]
Kale tries to taunt Harkness out, and the coven look for light sources. Calderu notices Harkness' breathing, and Teen looks up to realize that Harkness is on the ceiling and possessed. "Harkness" drops to the ground as the spirit makes her body contort despite Kale's claim that Harkness was faking. "Harkness" corners Teen, but Kale distracts her. "Harkness" begins choking Kale, but Calderu stops her by turning the lights on.[29][55]
Vidal demands to know where Harkness is, but the spirit leaves her and reveals herself to be Evanora Harkness' ghost. Agatha greets her mother and notes that the possession was the closest she had ever felt to Evanora. Evanora scolds the coven for joining Agatha after the Salemites risked themselves to kill her. Calderu explains that Evanora has unfinished business, so Teen asks what she wants. Evanora asks the group to leave Agatha behind and finish the Witches' Road without her.[29][55]
Vidal refuses to allow Evanora to have Agatha, leading Evanora to threaten her. Agatha descends the stairs and asks why Evanora hates her. Evanora says that Agatha was born evil and that she should have killed her daughter. Kale suggests they leave, saying that Agatha is the only danger to the coven in the trial. Teen refuses to leave as Agatha pleads with them, but Evanora takes her over.[29][55]
Wu-Gulliver blasts Harkness with protection magic[55] as Calderu gets taken over by herself from during the divination trial and connects Wu-Gulliver's protection to the Knight of Wands. Calderu returns to the divination trial,[50] and Evanora is expelled from Agatha's body. However, getting blasted allows Agatha to steal Wu-Gulliver's magic.[29][55]
Teen shouts for Agatha Harkness to stop and sees the planchette moving on the ouija board. Teen asks who it is, and the planchette spells out Nicholas Scratch. Teen shouts the name as the timer ends, getting Harkness to stop and hear Scratch's voice calling for her to stop as Wu-Gulliver dies. Teen moves the planchette to "goodbye," causing the exit to appear as Wu-Gulliver's watch goes off.[29][55]
Teen rushes over to Wu-Gulliver and begs her to get up. Harkness attempts to approach them, but Teen yells at her to back up. He shouts that Harkness did not deserve Wu-Gulliver's protection. Kale and Calderu tell Teen that it is too late, and Harkness takes the exit while Teen pleads with Wu-Gulliver to wake up. Vidal watches Harkness leave and looks to Wu-Gulliver's body.[29][55]
In another plane, Wu-Gulliver lays on the ground and opens her eyes as Vidal, now in her form as Death, strokes her cheek. Wu-Gulliver stands up and is told by Death that it is time to go. Death points to a door, causign Wu-Gulliver to see her corpse on the ground. Wu-Gulliver is pleads for more time as she finally broke her curse and can do something with her life. Death says that she did do something as a protection witch since she died protecting someone. Wu-Gulliver cries over her corpse and tells Death that she is not ready. However, she turns around and follows Death through the door anyway.[29][56]
Outside, Harkness realizes that she has magick back as Teen appears and scolds her. Harkness claims not to have been able to control her theft of Wu-Gulliver's power, but Teen does not believe her, accusing her of wanting to steal the witches' power from the beginning. Kale points out that all any of them want is power, and Calderu says that death comes for them all.[29][55]
Teen refuses to accept that being a witch means killing people for one's own agenda. Harkness tilts her head, chuckling to herself and asking if he is sure. She says that Teen is like his mother, angering Teen. She walks away and orders him to follow, but Teen instead mind controls Calderu and Kale. Teen ignores Harkness' pleas and makes Kale and Calderu throw Harkness into the quicksand. Teen lets out a burst of magic, sending Calderu and Kale into a separate area of quicksand. Teen briefly wears a crown on his head resembling that of Wanda Maximoff.[29][55]
Harkness manages to drag her way out of the quicksand, covered in mud. She stands herself up and wipes mud off her face, turning to Teen, who she now realizes is Billy Maximoff. Meanwhile, Maximoff plays with his sigil in his hand and breaks it. Harkness approaches and compliments his reveal, taunting him for his lies.[29][5]
Kale and Calderu land beneath the Road as Calderu's consciousness arrives from her reading for herself during the Divination Witch Trial. Calderu gasps and sits herself up, turning to see someone. Calderu asks who it is and hears Vidal's voice. She visits other points of her time on the road between returning as Vidal says that all roads lead to her, prompting Calderu to realize that Vidal is Death while Vidal reveals herself.[29][50]
Maximoff claims not to be interested in power, but Harkness does not believe him. She explains that she guessed his identity when they first met due to Maximoff and his mother sharing a tell, not sharing what it is. Harkness clarifies that she was not positive until the explosion of anger. Harkness tells Maximoff that it is nice to see him again, giving him pause.[29][5]
Maximoff realizes that the sigil being broken means that witches can hear his name. Harkness comments on Kaplan apparently killing Calderu and Kale, attempting to comfort him by saying that life goes on and killing has not held her back. Maximoff insists that he is different from her. Harkness asks how Maximoff found William Kaplan's body, but Maximoff stays silent. Harkness tells Maximoff not to feel guilty about his talent and that it is not a big deal that he broke the rules.[29][5]
Maximoff tells Harkness that he no longer needs her to complete the Road and that he is unsure if he ever did. However, Maximoff struggles to activate his magic. Maximoff insists he can finish the Road on his own, but Harkness casts doubt. Harkness wonders what Maximoff wants given he already has powerful magick, concluding that Maximoff wants his brother, Tommy Maximoff.[29][5]
Calderu's consciousness arrives at this moment from a conversation with her maestra and wakes Kale up. Calderu tells Kale that Teen is the son of the Scarlet Witch and helps her to her feet. She tells Kale that they need to find Harkness and Maximoff in their next trial, tarot, exciting that the gaps are filling in and she will not remember soon. They look ahead and see an option to either continue under the Road or exit via a WV Metro subway station.[29][50]
The Salem Seven appear, prompting Calderu and Kale to hide. The Seven whisper about finding Harkness as the others look on. Calderu tells Kale that she is going to the trial to help Harkness and Maximoff, expressing hope that she will join as they are fellow witches. Kale looks to the subway station and agrees to walk with her. Calderu looks after her and realizes what she did wrong. She turns around, her consciousness going back to the trial in the future.[29][50]
Billy Maximoff says that he can sense his brother, prompting Harkness to comment that Maximoff being his mother's son explains how dramatic[5] the Witches' Road is.[56] Maximoff tells Harkness that he will never trust her, making Harkness laugh before agreeing. The two walk off together to find the next trial, tense.[29][5]
Maximoff tries to read Harkness' mind, though denies it. He asks where Vidal is, but Harkness refuses to answer. Harkness teases Maximoff about her and his mother's relationship, but Maximoff denies his relationship to her mother, insisting that Rebecca Kaplan is his mother. At Maximoff's asking, Harkness expresses uncertainty about whether his biological mother is dead. The see the Witches' Road Castle and Harkness tries to offer advice from her experience, but Maximoff casts doubt on whether Harkness ever walked the Road.[29][50]
Calderu returns from seeing herself falling in the castle and says what was happening. Confused, Kale turns and says they were both falling. Calderu asks where they were, prompting confusion from Kale as she tells Calderu about their conversation from earlier. Calderu remembers that Teen kicked them off the Road, prompting Kale to reveal his identity and that Calderu was the one who told her.[29][50]
They keep walking as Kale says that the two of them had a nice conversation merely five minutes prior. Calderu expresses surprise about their conversation, offending Kale. Kale turns to Calderu and says that Calderu is being wispy, then says that she is kooky. Calderu is then pulled back to the Witches' Road Recording Studio.[29][50]
Maximoff and Harkness enter the castle and find themselves dressed as Maleficent and the Wicked Witch of the West, respectively. Maximoff expresses doubt at Harkness' claim about the Wicked Witch being based on her and admires his own look.[29][50]
Calderu returns from a conversation with her maestra and gasps, causing Kale to turn around and call Calderu confused. Calderu gets defensive, and Kale sits down to say that she has not heard the Salem Seven since they fell. Calderu scolds Kale for finding her crazy and gets upset when Kale asks what else there is to her.[29][50]
However, Kale becomes genuine and asks what Calderu meant when she alluded to gaps. Calderu explains that the flow of time is an illusion and that as a child she experienced her life out of sequence. She tells Kale that it is worsening, and Kale sympathizes. Calderu suggests that the gaps getting worse suggests that she is dying and says she is unsure about wanting her power. She then goes to during the Divination Witch Trial.[29][50]
Harkness and Maximoff see a tarot set up and Maximoff picks up the deck, causing an hourglass to flip as the trial starts. They sit at the table as Maximoff decides to read for Harkness. Maximoff tries to do the reading, met by sarcasm from Harkness. He places the first card down, triggering a sword to fall. Maximoff and Harkness look up and realize the ceiling is full of swords.[29][50]
Maximoff draws the Seven of Swords reversed, which he realizes implies Harkness is being truthful and doubts. He places the card down, causing another sword to fall. Harkness takes the deck and claims there is no skill required for tarot, which Maximoff says is not true. Harkness starts placing random cards, causing swords to fall. A sword nearly falls on Maximoff, but he avoids it.[29][50]
Calderu's consciousness returns to underneath the Witches' Road from a conversation with her maestra and is disappointed to return to the walking part, having hoped to skip it. Kale asks for new information, revealing that Calderu already told her that the next trial is tarot. Calderu picks up Maximoff's spell book as Kale asks why her slipping through time stopped. Calderu explains that she put the ability away because she only saw death. They hear Harkness and Maximoff arguing and find the bookshelves of the castle.[29][50]
Harkness suggests that they simply keep placing cards until they place the right ones, but Maximoff suggests it will take to long. Just then, the table starts spinning and the ceiling with the swords lowers. Maximoff wishes Calderu was there. Just then, Calderu and Kale fall through a door and Maximoff is happy to see them alive. Maximoff looks concerned, but Calderu says that she is no longer mad, confusing Kale.[29][50]
At Harkness' prompting, Kale looks up and sees the ceiling lowering. Calderu approaches the tarot spread and criticizes it. She restarts the reading for Maximoff, telling him to cut the deck. Calderu asks for a question from Maximoff, and despite pressure from Harkness and Kale, accepts Maximoff asking if he is truly Maximoff or William Kaplan as it causing the ceiling to stop lowering.[29][50]
Calderu explains the tarot spread and is met by silence and agreement as the ceiling remains still. At Cadleru's prompting, Maximoff draws The Magician for himself, which Calderu reads as potential. However, as she places the card, another sword falls. Maximoff draws The Sun, representing reunion, for what's missing, prompting another sword to fall. Harkness yells about tarot being subjective. Maximoff draws another card, but a sword starts to fall on Calderu, prompting Harkness to push Calderu off her chair and land on top of her.[29][50]
Calderu's consciousness arrives from her conversation with Kale, finishing her sentence about not wanting her power back as she sees Harkness on top of her. Calderu scolds Harkness, who explains that she saved Harkness. Calderu gets up and sees Maximoff, pushing him against the wall. Maximoff gets confused as Calderu explains that she is still angry. Maximoff apologizes for lashing out and reads Calderu's faults, explaining that he was unaware of his power and would have saved Alice Wu-Gulliver if he knew.[29][50]
Calderu remembers Kaplan from his Bar Mitzvah as Kale pulls her away. Kale explains to Calderu that the coven are no longer angry with Maximoff due to events that happened before her consciousness arrived in the moment. Calderu realizes that she and Kale are dressed as Glinda and the Evil Queen, getting upset. Kale pulls her focus back to the tarot reading.[29][50]
Calderu looks at the placement and wonders what went wrong. Maximoff says that the reading appeared correct and helps her pull a sword out of her chair. Maximoff asks if Calderu cast the sigil on her, so Calderu explains that she knew he would need time to figure himself out after the Kaplan Family Car Crash that night. More swords fall as the ceiling begins lowering again. Calderu turns to the table and wonders what she did wrong. Her consciousness goes back to the Spirit Witch Trial.[29][50]
Returning to this moment from seeing the Salem Seven looking for Harkness, Calderu realizes that the inscription on the table means she needs to read for herself. She pulls the Queen of Cups for herself as her consciousness briefly returns to her maestra. Back in the present, she realizes the card means she trusts her inner voice. She places the card, and the coven are happy to realize that a sword did not drop.[29][50]
Pulling the card for what is missing, her consciousness briefly goes back to when Harkness and Maximoff first found her before returning and drawing the Three of Pentacles, realizing that she was missing a coven. For the path behind, she briefly goes to the Spirit Witch Trial and pulls the Knight of Wands, interpreting it as brave fighting. Maximoff tells Calderu that they are running out of time as Calderu briefly goes to Harkness' house and pulls the High Priestess for the path ahead, interpreting it as inability to use spiritual power.[29][50]
Pulling for her obstacles, Calderu briefly goes back to when Maximoff was dying following the Protection Witch Trial and draws the Three of Swords. The coven bend beneath the sword tips as Calderu pulls for the windfall, briefly visiting Kaplan's Bar Mitzvah and pulling The Tower reversed, interpreting it as miraculous transformation. She pulls for the destination and goes back to Death revealing herself to Calderu, pulling the Death card as Calderu's consciousness realizes that Rio Vidal is Death. Harkness places the card on the spread, ending the trial.[29][50]
An iron maiden opens in the castle, providing an exit, and Kale thanks Calderu. Calderu tells the coven about Vidal's identity. Harkness confirms the revelation, upsetting the coven. Just then, the Salem Seven arrive as they all go to leave. Calderu warns Harkness to get down when someone calls her a coward, confusing Harkness.[29][50]
Calderu returns Maximoff's spell book and tells Kale that she is the path ahead, closing the door on her coven as she says that she loved being a witch. The Seven arrive in the castle as Calderu tells them that it is not wise to be in a trial that has been completed as destruction comes. Just as the Salem Seven take their human form, Calderu flips the Tower card upright, representing destruction.[29][50]
The tower flips over, causing the Seven to get impaled by the spikes on the ceiling. Calderu holds on to the table, which stays mounted to the new ceiling. She looks down below and lets go, falling towards the swords. As she falls, Calderu briefly gets taken over by her past self from after she was thrown in the quicksand. She experiences the fall, but cannot discern the context. Her consciousness then goes back to traveling under the road with Kale. She gets impaled by the swords as her consciousness goes back to the beginning of her first lesson with her maestra.[29][50]
Meanwhile, Kale stands outside the door and pleads with Calderu to come back. Maximoff and Kale hear the tower reverse and get emotional.[29][56]
Outside, Harkness comes across Death, who taunts her about the deaths which have occurred. Death shares her revelation that Harkness was distracting death from Maximoff, who she believes to be disrupting the balance of the world. Harkness denies her feelings for Maximoff, but Death refuses to accept that. Death comments that Harkness got special treatment unlike anyone else, but Harkness says that she sees Death's actions as taking. Death asks why Harkness lets people believe rumors about Nicholas Scratch, so Harkness explains that the truth is too awful.[29][56]
Maximoff and Kale sit together as Kale explains that Calderu sacrificed herself. They discuss the revelation of Death's identity, and Kale realizes that Death told them who she was at the start. Maximoff realizes that Harkness used to date Death, which Kale says makes sense. Maximoff leaves, looking for Harkness.[29][56]
Death says that Maximoff's goal for the Witches' Road is a violation, and Harkness agrees it would be a waste of the Road's time. Death says that Maximoff's brother is not out there and that she has to take Maximoff. Harkness tells her to, but realizes that she cannot since she would not be able to stop Maximoff from reincarnating again and needs Maximoff to surrender himself.[29][56]
Harkness offers to arrange Maximoff's surrender in exchange for Death no longer pursuing Harkness and not appearing to Harkness when she dies. Death is saddened by this but agrees to the deal. She turns around and takes out her knife, using it to cut a hole in reality through which she leaves the Witches' Road as Harkness watches.[29][56]
Maximoff and Kale speculate about how Harkness met Death, and Kale is surprised to learn that Maximoff sees there relationship as proof that Harkness has emotions. Maximoff affirms that Harkness will only ever be without a coven. Harkness, who was behind Maximoff, feigns offense and declares it time to finish. Harkness suggests that Kale can serve as their green witch and expresses surprise that Kale is alive.[29][56]
As Harkness comments on the spectacle like to appear, she trips over her shoes, causing the coven to realize that they are back where they starts. Harkness still does not have her power, so she stands up and starts yelling at Maximoff about how they leave. Harkness suggests they start over, but Kale refuses. They look to the shoes, and Maximoff insults the Road. He puts his shoes on.[29][56]
Suddenly, Maximoff, Harkness, and Kale find themselves in a morgue. They unzip themselves from their body bags, and Harkness claims they are in her basement. Kale sees grow lights and suggests they are meant to grow something, which Harkness agrees sounds like a trial from the Witches' Road. They find their belongings in the body bags and retrieve them. However, Maximoff and Kale realize that their belongings will not help. Their shelves close, leading Harkness to suggest the Road agrees with him.[29][56]
The first grow light goes out, which Harkness realizes starts their countdown. Harkness notices that Kale is calm, so she claims she is thinking about how to save them since she could not save Calderu or Alice Wu-Gulliver. Harkness suggests that Kale cannot without magick, but Maximoff notes that Kale saved him and the whole coven while bound, and tells Kale that he does not need magick.[29][56]
Kale realizes that the Doctor did not take anything from her. Harkness reacts to the mention of Boston, leading Kale to realize that Harkness was the one who bound her. Harkness says that she did not know it was Kale and would often perform spells in exchange for money to live under the patriarchy of the 1920s. Kale rips off part of her hair and uses it to perform an unbinding ritual, denying Harkness' power over her. Although Harkness taunts Kale, the ritual works and grants Kale her magick back.[29][56]
Kale cries from relief and then disappears, which Harkness explains was due to her getting what she needed from the Road. Harkness suggests that he could end it by blasting her, but Maximoff refuses to risk Harkness taking her power and does not believe her saying that she would not. Harkness tells Maximoff to sit down so they can find his brother, who she explains can be brought back.[29][56]
Maximoff sits down and closes his eyes, following Harkness' instructions to remember his last moments with Tommy Maximoff. Billy breathes alongside his memory of Tommy and grabs his head, guiding Billy to find Tommy in a black void. Billy starts looking for a body to put Tommy's soul into.[29][56]
Meanwhile, a young boy is pushed into a swimming pool as a prank by boys bullying him. His head is held underwater as he starts to drown. Although Billy is hesitant because the boy does not have a good life, he guides Tommy's soul into the body. Maximoff asks if he is killing the boy for his brother before disappearing right as Tommy, now in the boy's body, surfaces from the water.[29][56]
Answering Maximoff's question, Harkness says that boys sometimes simply die. Harkness sees the remaining grow lights and opens her locket, crying as she kisses the lock of Nicholas Scratch's hair she has. She sees a dandelion flower in the locket and waters it with one of her tears, realizing that life comes out of death. She plants the seed in a crack that formed as Billy helped Tommy. The remaining grow lights turn off as Harkness pleads for more time. She urges the flower to grow, which it eventually does right before the last grow light can turn off.[29][56]
The lights in the morgue all turn on as the morgue starts to collapse. She rushes up the stairs and bangs on the door, demanding to be let off the Road. The door opens and Harkness climbs out into her backyard, where a storm is being brewed by Death, who congratulates Harkness on finishing the Road. Harkness realizes she is still powerless and demands her prize.[29][56]
Death notes that since Billy Maximoff did not surrender himself, she would take Harkness. She suggests death by one thousand cuts and shatters Harkness' windows, cutting Harkness. She laughs as John Collins looks at the storm. Abilash Tandon asks if this is similar to the Westview Anomaly, but Harold Proctor does not know.[29][56]
Harkness looks at the moon and realizes they are in the fire phase, so Harkness casts a protection spell. Death takes offense to the spell calling her evil, saying that she is simply the natural order of the world and declaring that Harkness loves her. Death sends a wind to break the protection circle and calls Harkness a coward. Harkness remembers Cadleru's warning and gets down as Death tries to launch a kitchen sink at her.[29][56]
Death asks why Harkness does not want her and lashes Harkness' ankle with a plant. Harkness tries to make a healing potion for herself, but Death ties Harkness to a pole and draws her knife. Suddenly, the string likes explode and Maximoff appears, blasting Death backwards. Maximoff blasts Harkness with her magick, asking her not to take all of it.[29][56]
Harkness absorbs Maximoff's magick and levitates herself as Maximoff weakens. She returns to the ground, enjoying the feeling of the power. She releases Maximoff as Death returns and offers them the ability to let one walk free if the other surrenders. Death sends Maximoff flying into a green house while she and Harkness fight.[29][56]
Maximoff recovers and watches the fight as Death manages to knock Harkness down. Maximoff sends Death back and rushes to Harkness, who says that fighting Death is futile and she should be the one to sacrifice herself. Maximoff refuses this, but Harkness insists. They compliment each other, and Death returns.[29][56]
Maximoff stands up and chooses to sacrifice himself, demanding that Death take her. Harkness stands up and tells Death to take Maximoff, ending their deal. Harkness tells Death to rearrange her yard, reminding an upset Maximoff that she is a coven-less witch. Maximoff telepathically reaches out to Harkness and asks if these are the same circumstances under which Scratch died.[29][56]
Maximoff's question causes Harkness to have a change of heart. She walks over to Death and takes her, kissing her passionately. Harkness absorbs Death's powers, causing her to levitate and fall as she dies. She hits the ground and her skin rapidly decomposes as Death and Maximoff watch. A garden is planted where Harkness was and the sky clears.[29][56]
Death stands over where Harkness was. Maximoff sees Harkness' locket and picks it up. Death turns to Maximoff and tells him that he can leave. Maximoff and Death both walk away in opposite directions. Maximoff walks in front of Harkness' house towards his car as the residents of Westview gather around. He puts his hood over his head and reaches his car, driving home.[29][56]
Maximoff returns home and is approached by a worried Jeff and Rebecca Kaplan. They ask what happened and why he is bleeding, but Maximoff does not answer.[29][56]
Maximoff takes a shower and looks at his reflection in the mirror. He walks into his bed room and puts a shirt on. He sees his poster of Lorna Wu and the Coral Shore as well as his The Wizard of Oz figurines. He thinks back to Harkness denying the existence of the Witches' Road and sees a tree figure he had, realizing it looks like the trees on the Road and that it was precisely how Maximoff imagined it. He remembers Harkness commenting on Maximoff having courage to do something and Calderu saying he could turn his goals into reality. He sees a leaf decoration which looks like the leaves from the Road.[29][56]
Connecting more things to the Road, he sees a painting which looks like the setting of the Witches' Road Beach House and remembers Harkness saying that he and his mother had the same tell. He finds a ouija board in his room and remembers Harkness saying that the Road being dramatic was evidence of him being a Maximoff. He sees figurines of shoes, reminding him of the shoes being left behind, and remembers Harkness saying that he was a lot like his mother. This leads Maximoff to realize that he was responsible for the creation of the Witches' Road.[29][56]
Maximoff hears a laughing from behind him and turns around. Harkness appears shouts at him, causing Maximoff to scream.[56] Harkness explains that she is a ghost and admires herself, insisting that she did not sacrifice herself for him. She tries to hit Maximoff, but cannot. Maximoff asks if he created the Witches' Road, and Harkness confirms that he did. She explains that the Road was simply a con to lure gullible witches.[29][52]
Maximoff starts to panic, realizing that his creation of the Road made him responsible for the deaths that happened there. He calls himself a murderer while Harkness tries to comfort him. Harkness tells him that since she was planning to kill her entire coven anyway, so Maximoff actually saved Kale's life.[29][52]
Kale claws her way out of the ground outside Westview. She stands up and looks around, flying away with her magick.[29][52]
Harkness softens and tells Maximoff that the feeling of their friends dying comes with being a witch. Maximoff insists that he will never become accustomed to it, which Harkness doubts.[29][52]
Maximoff returns to Harkness' house and into her basement. He sees the door to the Witches' Road, and Harkness appears. Maximoff retrieves chalk as Harkness asks for her locket. Maximoff draws a pentagram around the door and sets up a series of candles, magically lighting them all. He takes his copy of The Witch's Pocket Book and takes out Harkness' locket.[29][52]
Harkness tries to take the locket, but Maximoff starts chanting a banishment spell. Harkness tries to get him to stop, but Maximoff says that she will not get a second chance. Harkness says that he cannot do it, but Maximoff insists that he can. She tries noting that he claims to be against killing witches, but Maximoff shows that she is already dead. Harkness reaches out to the locket as Maximoff asks why Harkness will not die, leading Harkness to shout that she cannot face her son and successfully hit the locket out of Maximoff's hand.[29][52]
Harkness manages to pick the locket up and add it to her outfit. Maximoff wipes a tear away and assures Harkness that her son would forgive him. Harkness tells Maximoff that he reminds Harkness of her son. Maximoff says that being a ghost suits Harkness, who suggests that they would make a good team. They bond over a tendency to kill their coven members. Maximoff looks down at the door to the Witches' Road and transforms it into a memorial for Sharon Davis, Alice Wu-Gulliver, and Lilia Calderu. He opens the door to the basement as Maximoff and Harkness decide to go find Tommy Maximoff together and walk out.[29][52]
Kate Bishop gets home to her apartment and gives Lucky the crust of her pizza. She then puts down her bow and quiver before realizing a dark figure in front of her. Kamala Khan steps out of the shadows and mimics Nick Fury as she tells Bishop about younger superheroes and forming a team, even pointing out that Ant-Man had a daughter. Bishop considers the offer as Khan says please.[51][44]
Gianna Moreno leaves work and cuts down an alley, but gets attacked by a man with a knife. White Tiger appears and stops the man.[60][23]
31st[]
Hector Ayala buys a studio apartment in the Bronx neighborhood after saving enough money to make the purchase. He then buys a bouquet of flowers to surprise his wife Soledad Ayala with the news.[26][23]
Wilson Fisk prepares to deliver a speech from the mayor's office to celebrate the New Year. Once live, Fisk offers his regards to the audience watching and celebrating New Year, and notes on how it will be a new era for New York City once he officially takes office next year as his presence is met with mixed reaction by the celebrants in Times Square.[26][9]
Matt Murdock listens to Fisk's speech affirming that New York City's people are strong enough to take care of themselves without the need of vigilantes. Murdock hears people having divided opinions about Fisk being mayor while Fisk declares that the rule of law will return to New York City. He finalizes by wishing everyone a good night and happy New Year.[26][9]
Hector Ayala enters the subway while on the phone until he sees Connor Powell and Kel Shanahan beating Nicky Torres. Ayala rushes in to get involved, insisting that they are attacking a defenseless man, but Powell orders Ayala to leave it. Powell tries forcing Ayala away, but he retaliates by restraining Powell against a beam before punching him. Shanahan attempts to hold Ayala down while Torres runs away.[26][9]
Ayala beats Shanahan while Powell recovers to tackle Ayala, who wrestles him down and throws him to the ground, almost to the edge of the subway rails. Shanahan gets up and charges at Ayala, but when Ayala dodges, Shanahan trips on Powell's body, causing him to fall over the edge where he is hit immediately by an oncoming train, killing Shanahan. Powell witnesses this and reveals his New York City Police Department badge to Ayala, placing him under arrest.[26][9]
↑ 2.02.12.22.32.4In Resurrection, several newspapers are shown reporting on five attacks which Donald Prescod believes to have been orchestrated by the Skrulls: one on Colombia, one on the Philippines, one on Argentina, one on London, and one on Munich. On October 31, 2026 (see other references), Prescod refers to "Five global terrorist strikes within the past year," referring to these attacks. This could either be referring to an exact year, so since October 31, 2025, more generally since October 2025, or more generally within 2026. A weighted calculation suggests that Prescod would be referring to around November 2025 as the start of the year in which the attacks occurred. In Resurrection, Prescod says, "Argentina attacks Colombia, Colombia attacks the Philippines. A violent chain reaction consuming the globe." This suggests that Colombia and the Philippines were the first countries to get attacked. The attack in Munich occurred during Oktoberfest, which is in late September through the beginning of October each year, so can be taken to have occurred during Oktoberfest 2026, the midpoint of which is September 26, 2026. The remaining two attacks, on Argentina and London, can be taken to have occurred in the order in which they are presented. The attacks can be distributed between November 2025 and the date of the Oktoberfest attack, September 26, 2026, placing the Colombia attack on January 12, 2026, the Philippines attack on March 17, 2026, the Argentina attack on May 21, 2026, and the London attack on July 24, 2026. This also works regardless of whether Prescod's "the past year" line is referring to 2026 or the time since October 2025.
↑ 4.04.14.24.3The epilogue of Thor: Love and Thunder features several scenes: one of Valkyrie training a group of children, one of Sif training Axl Heimdallson, one of Korg and Dwayne preparing to have a child, and one of Thor and Love entering a battle. In the final scene, Love appears to be the same age as she did when she was resurrected on October 23, 2025 (see 2025 references). However, enough time has passed that she and Thor know each other very well. Similarly, enough time has passed that Korg has met a man and their relationship progressed to where they are having a child together. Approximately six months appear to have passed by the scene is Love and Thor, so it can be approximated to April 23, 2026. Korg narrates the ending scene, implying that it should be at least "a month" after he started making his child with Dwayne, based on Korg's line earlier in the movie about it taking that long to make a child. To keep the scene as late as possible to allow for the development of Korg and Dawyne's relationship, it can be placed on March 23, 2025. The remaining scenes can therefore be distributed between the end of the main events and March 23, 2026, placing the Valkyrie scene on December 12, 2025 and the Sif scene on February 1, 2026.
↑In Resurrection, Talos explains G'iah's defection to the Skrull Resistance by saying "She was young. Angry that our people still don't have a home. Many of them are upset. I got kicked off the Council, pushed into exile," suggesting that this was part of the reason she defected and would have occurred before her defection. G'iah is shown in the episode to not have known about Soren's death, suggesting that Soren died after she left. Talos' exile, G'iah's defection, and Soren's death can therefore be distributed between the last time Soren is seen alive, the end credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home on July 4, 2024 (see 2024 references) and the start of the Resurrection, October 31, 2026 (see other references). This places Talos' exile on February 2, 2025, G'iah's defection on September 2, 2025, and Soren's death on April 3, 2026.
↑ 7.07.1Marvel Studios' The Marvel Cinematic Universe: An Official Timeline places the events of Thor: Love and Thunder in "Fall 2025," following Kamala Khan's discovery that she is a mutant on October 19, 2025 (see other references). Groot, who is growing fast, appears roughly the same age as he does in Avengers: Endgame, which is set in October 2023 (see 2023 references), and then has grown to be the size of a young adult by the time of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special in December 2025 (see other references), implying Thor: Love and Thunder should be much closer to Avengers: Endgame. To best account for Groot's aging, it can be taken that the main events of Thor: Love and Thunder take place immediately following the end of Ms. Marvel, as early as possible, on October 21-23, 2025 (to fit the moon shown in New Asgard). While this still contradicts evidence like Groot's aging, the book does not address these issues, but nonetheless establishes this placement as factual.
↑In Heaven's Half Hour, Karen Page says that Matt Murdock would not talk to people for "weeks" following Foggy Nelson's death, a period which lasted from October 31, 2025 to December 7, 2025 (see 2025 references). Murdock & McDuffie is then shown later in the episode to exist by October 16, 2026 (see other references). It can therefore be approximated that Murdock & McDuffie was founded at the midpoint of when Murdock started talking to people again, December 7, 2025 and October 16, 2026, approximately May 12, 2026.
↑ 11.011.111.211.311.411.511.611.711.8Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania's opening sequence shows several clips of what Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne have been doing since the events of Avengers: Endgame. On the first day of the sequence, Ruben is shown to confuse Lang with Spider-Man. During the epilogue of the movie, which is set twenty-one days after the main events (see other references), Ruben corrects his mistake. To keep these events as close together as possible, it can be taken that the opening sequence is set in the days leading up to July 24, 2026, the setting of the main events of the movie.
↑ 12.0012.0112.0212.0312.0412.0512.0612.0712.0812.0912.1012.1112.1212.1312.1412.1512.1612.1712.1812.1912.2012.2112.2212.2312.2412.2512.2612.2712.2812.2912.3012.3112.3212.3312.3412.3512.3612.3712.3812.3912.4012.4112.4212.4312.4412.4512.4612.4712.4812.4912.5012.5112.5212.5312.5412.5512.5612.5712.5812.5912.6012.6112.6212.6312.6412.6512.66In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a sign reads that Scott Lang has his book reading on "JULY 24th." The rest of the events of the movie through the defeat of Kang all take place on the same day, so the main events of the movie can be placed on July 24th. However, the evidence for which year it is set in is split, and tied with the evidence for Cassie Lang's birth.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever features a news ticker explaining that Scott was on tour for the release of his book in May 2025 (see 2025 references), suggesting that the start of the movie, which features him at a book reading, might be better placed closer to the events of the movie, so on July 24, 2025. However, Disney+'s "Marvel Cinematic Universe in Timeline Order" section places the movie after the events of The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which is set in December 2025 (see 2025 references), suggesting that the movie is set on July 24, 2026.
In Ant-Man, Cassie is shown celebrating a birthday in July 2015 (see 2015 references), placing her birthday in July. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott says that Cassie is ten years old in April 2018 (see 2018 references), which would suggest Cassie was born in July 2007. However, Peyton Reed has since stated that Cassie is nine years old in the movie, which is supported by Look Out for Little Guy! stating that Cassie is "of the under 10 variety" during the film, making her less than ten years old. These would instead suggest Cassie was born in July 2008. In Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Cassie says, "Dad, a guy dressed like a bee tried to kill me in my room when I was six," describing the climax of Ant-Man in August 2015 (see 2015 references). Additionally, in the script for Avengers: Endgame, Cassie's age is listed as "14" in October 2023 (see 2023 references). These would both suggest that Cassie was born in July 2009. However, in Look Out for the Little Guy!, Scott states that he missed Cassie's fourth birthday party as a result of being in prison, specifically referring to it as being her "Unicorns vs. Dragons" fourth birthday party. This indicates that Cassie's fourth birthday was in the lead up to Scott's imprisonment in July 2012 (see 2012 references), suggesting that she would have been born in July 2008 and turned four shortly after Scott went to jail. Furthermore, Peyton Reed stated that Cassie is intended to be eighteen years old during the events of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which is affirmed by the fact that she is held in an adult jail at the beginning of the film, suggesting she was born either in July 2007 if the movie is set in 2025 or July 2008 if the movie is set in 2026.
Overall, balancing the evidence for Cassie's birthday and the setting of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, a compromise of Cassie being born in July 2008 and the movie being set in July 2026 fits as best as possible, allowing Cassie to have been three-going-on-four in July 2012, "9" and "under 10" during Ant-Man and the Wasp, and 18 in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. With this compromise, Cassie's line about being "six" during the climax of Ant-Man is only off by a couple weeks, Scott's line about Cassie being "ten" during Ant-Man and the Wasp is only off by a few months, and the Avengers: Endgame script stating that Cassie is "14" is only off by a few months off as well.
↑ 13.013.113.213.3In the epilogue of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, the cuts sustained by Scott Lang during the events of the final battle, which is set on July 24, 2026 (see other references), are shown to have healed approximately 58% of the way. Surface-level cuts such as Lang's take approximately four to six weeks to heal, so it can be approximated that Lang is approximately 58% of the way through this period, placing the final scenes approximately 21 days after July 24, 2026, so on August 14, 2026.
↑In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, High Evolutionary asks, "How did 89P13 survive all these years, Theel?" after scolding Ayesha, suggesting that he only learned about Rocket being alive recently. However, Adam Warlock and Ayesha have developed a strong relationship by the time this conversation, suggesting that it has been some time. To balance these implications, it can be taken that Warlock was awoken approximately one week prior to his attack on Rocket on September 4, 2026 (see other references), so on August 28, 2026.
↑In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, a newspaper on Monday, September 14, 2026 (see other references) says that Lola the Puggle won "This Weekend." To allow time for the story to be written and published, it can be taken that this was written on the Saturday before, September 12.
↑In The Hollow of His Hand, Kirsten McDuffie reads Lucas Barlow's report on his encounter with White Tiger on January 30, 2027 (see 2027 references), saying "On the night of October 2nd, at 2:38 a.m., I responded to an attempted burglary call." For it to be on the night of October 2 while still at 2:38 a.m., it would be in the early hours of October 3. It can be taken to have occurred during the most recent October 2-3, in 2026.
↑In Resurrection, Donald Prescod says on October 31, 2026 (see other references) that he stopped filing his reports to the CIA, presenting it as a recent development. The most recent attack which Prescod was tracking is dated to September 26, 2026 (see other references). This can therefore be approximated to the midpoint of these two dates, approximately October 13, 2026.
↑In Familiar by Thy Side, James S' article opens by saying, "It's been three years since the horrific events that shrouded the town of Westview within an orange dome of fear." Billy Maximoff is shown to have the article on November 19, 2026 (see other references), meaning the article was placed before then. The Westview Anomaly ended on November 11, 2023 (see 2023 references), so this can mean it was published on November 11, 2026, within November 2026, or more generally within 2026. A weighted average places the publishing of this article on October 15, 2026.
↑ 26.0026.0126.0226.0326.0426.0526.0626.0726.0826.0926.1026.1126.1226.1326.1426.1526.1626.1726.1826.1926.2026.2126.2226.2326.2426.2526.2626.2726.2826.2926.3026.3126.3226.3326.3426.3526.3626.3726.3826.3926.4026.4126.4226.4326.4426.4526.4626.4726.4826.4926.50Heaven's Half Hour begins with a sequence leading to Foggy Nelson's death which is followed by a jump to “ONE YEAR LATER,” at which point Wilson Fisk begins campaigning for mayor of New York City following his decision to do so in the post-credits scene of Maya. A reporter describes the election as a recall election, meaning it is not bound by typical New York City mayoral election cycles. Optics then begins with Fisk addressing the people of New York City on New Year's Eve, in which he is described as “MAYOR ELECT” by a news ticker, with Hector Ayala getting arrested the same night as confirmed by Benjamin Hochberg in The Hollow of His Hand. To keep the events close to Maya while giving Fisk time to gather the signatures needed and align with Disney+'s “MCU Complete Timeline” section placing the series after the events of Agatha All Along, which is firmly set in November 2026, it can be taken that this is the 2026-2027 New Year's Eve, which would place Nelson's death in 2025, the remainder of Heaven's Half Hour in late 2026, and the rest of the series in early 2027. In New York City, when a vacancy is opened for mayor within less than eighty days of a general election, the new mayor is elected on the next general election day. Since Fisk is sworn in after December 31, 2026, this was likely the case for the election which he won, which places the scene in which Fisk wins the election on November 3, 2026. Prior to that scene, as Matt Murdock prepares for Benjamin Poindexter's sentencing, a news report says that it is twenty-seven degrees outside, suggesting that it is winter, the latter half of October the earliest. In a later scene as Murdock and Fisk reunite, Fisk describes the election as “soon,” meaning there is still some time before November. Overall, it can be taken that the opening scenes are as early as possible, October 16-17, 2026, and the scenes between then and the election can be taken to be at around the midpoint of October 17 and the election, balancing the implications of being soon before the election and having been enough time since Fisk announced his candidacy for Sheila Rivera and Daniel Blake to have reports on Fisk's popularity as a candidate, placing them from October 24-26, 2026. On the night of the mayoral debate, Fisk says, “It was almost a year ago now when those cops in that bar were murdered by a vigilante,” referring to the night of Nelson's death, meaning October 25, 2026 is soon before the one-year anniversary of Nelson's death. Ideally, this would be a minimum of three days before the anniversary. In set photos for the series, a calendar at Josie's Bar the day of Nelson's death places the scene in October. It can therefore be taken that Nelson died between October 28 and October 31, and the midpoint of October 30 can be used.
↑A newspaper in Heaven's Half Hour shows that Fisk held a rally before its appearance on October 24, 2026 (see other references). This rally can be taken to have occurred between then and Fisk announcing his candidacy on approximately October 17, 2026 (see other references), placing it on approximately October 21, 2026.
↑Lilia Calderu's eviction notice, shown in a scene set November 20, 2026, has a deadline of "Within 30 days" written on it. With rent typically due on the first of the month, it can be taken that Calderu's latest missed payment occurred at the start of November 2026.
↑ 34.034.134.234.3In Captain America: Brave New World, Thaddeus Ross is shown to have been elected president "5 MONTHS" before the film's main events, which Isaiah Bradley's White House invitation place very firmly in April 2027. However, this would place Ross getting elected at the same time as the setting of Secret Invasion, in which James Ritson is President. Secret Invasion's setting is also firmly placed as it centers around the Russian Unity Day between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and The Marvels. In Home, Nick Fury says to Ritson, "You took a bad situation and made it worse. That's real one-term-President stuff" on a day that would be after the Presidential election and Ritson has already lost. With the firm placements of both Captain America: Brave New World and Secret Invasion, it must be understood that Ritson was not reelected on November 3, 2026, and then after that responded to the events of Secret Invasion as the sitting President between the election and Ross' inauguration. Fury's line in Home must be understood as suggesting if he planned to run again in future elections he would be unlikely to succeed, rather than any upcoming or immediate election.
↑ 38.038.138.2In Optics, BB Urich says to Wilson Fisk on January 5, 2027 (see 2027 references), "I asked Commissioner Gallo about you on three separate occasions. Every time... nothing. Not a word." These three attempts to contact Gallo can be distributed between Fisk announcing his candidacy on October 17, 2026 (see other references) and Urich saying this, placing them on November 6, 2026, November 26, 2026, and December 16, 2026.
↑In Seekest Thou the Road, John Collins says to Agatha Harkness, "You haven't been yourself the past few days. Almost like you got bit by the true crime bug" on November 20, 2026 (see other references). Earlier in the episode, a police evidence box in "Agnes O'Connor's office," which are confirmed to really have been there due to their appearance in Harkness' house after the spell is lifted, reads "Nov 12." To best fit both pieces of evidence, it can be taken that Harkness started to believe herself to be in a detective show as early as allowable by this date, November 12, 2026.
↑In The Marvels, Carol Danvers says on November 19, 2026 that her mission with Goose was "as early as last week." This could be referring to an exact seven days prior, or simply within the prior week. A weighted average, placing more weight on the more specific, places the mission on November 12, 2026.
↑In the extended soundtrack "Voices of Aladna," an Aladnean woman says "I had it made last week." The Aladnean scenes in The Marvels are set on November 20, 2026 (see other references). "Last week" on this date could mean literally seven days prior, so on November 13, 2026, or more generally within the week of November 8-14. A weighted average, putting more weight on the more specific, places this commission on November 12, 2026.
↑In Home, Nick Fury says on November 12, 2026 (see other references) that the Kree reached out about a peace agreement with the Skrulls. In The Marvels, Dar-Benn is shown on November 19, 2026 (see other references) to be going back on a deal the two groups had previously agreed on. The initial peace agreement can therefore be dated to the midpoint of these dates, November 15, 2026.
↑In The Hollow of His Hand, Michael Burgos recounts the events of his car crash. The other testimonies occurred in October and December 2026 (see other references), so it can be taken that this third account happened at around the same time. Taking the midpoint of the two other incidents, the Burgos car crash can be taken to have occurred on November 16, 2026.
↑ 51.051.151.251.351.4The final scenes of The Marvels are likely set at least a day following the film's climax on November 20, 2026 (see other references), given that the Khan family has driven from New Jersey to Louisiana. Danvers is first now moving into the Rambeau Residence, so it can be taken to be the day after, November 21, 2026. During this scene, Kamala Khan gets the idea to form a team and would need time to find Kate Bishop on the S.A.B.E.R. tablet, suggesting that scene is two days later, following the Khans' return and allowing for time for Khan to find Kate Bishop's information, placing it on November 23, 2026.
↑In The Hollow of His Hand, Connor Powell explains that he volunteered to work New Year's Eve so that others could take time off, suggesting this occurred ahead of time. It can therefore be taken that he volunteered in the month leading up to New Year's Eve, placing it on December 15.
↑In Sic Semper Systema, Wilson Fisk reveals that he kidnapped Adam on February 15, 2027 (see 2027 references). Fisk reveals that he learned about the affair on November 3, 2026 (see other references), so Adam's kidnapping can be approximated to have happened at the midpoint of those dates, plus an extra day to avoid it happening on Christmas, December 26, 2026.
↑In The Hollow of His Hand, Gianna Moreno says she was attacked "a few weeks ago" on January 30, 2027 (see 2027 references). However, for the past several weeks prior to this, Hector Ayala had been in jail since December 31, 2026 (see other references) and unable to save Moreno. Therefore, it can be taken that Moreno was attacked during the week leading up to Ayala's arrest, placing it on December 27, 2026.
