History
The Search for Bruce Banner
Major Kathleen Sparr informed General Thaddeus Ross of a clue about Bruce Banner's locations, through a case of Gamma poisoning by a man in Milwaukee after consuming a drink containing Banner's blood that was bottled in a factory in Brazil.
Both Ross and Sparr left the Pentagon and went to Fort Johnson in the Everglades, in order to assemble a Military Unit to capture Banner. General Joe Greller, stationed at Fort Johnson and a friend of Ross, managed to enlist the help of Russian-born British special operations expert Emil Blonsky assigned by the Royal Marines to the unit.
Ross and his unit boarded a plane, where Sparr briefed them about the capture mission. Ross clarified the danger that Banner supposed, even though he did not appear an enemy combatant, as he was involved in the death of two scientists, a soldier, a state trooper in Idaho and two hunters in Canada.[1]
Item 47
With the money stolen from different banks across the United States, Wise and Pollack bought a big Pearson-boat in Key West, and they were planning to leave in a period of twenty-four hours.
S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jasper Sitwell managed to obtain information about the purchase from the previous owner of the boat. Agent Felix Blake ordered Sitwell to travel to Key West to retrieve the weapon and neutralize the thieves.
Wise and Pollack were staying at a motel, where they counted the money they stole and realized they had obtained enough money to live the rest of their lives. While they were about to begin a celebration, one of their neighbours turned up the volume of the music, and Pollack went to the room to ask him to turn it down.
When Pollack knocked the door, he encountered Sitwell, who lured him to the room with the music. Sitwell managed to restrain Pollack, but he resisted and cried to Wise in order to let her know that an agent had tracked them down.
Wise took the Chitauri Gun and shot at the wall, opening a hole to the room, and approached the room to check Pollack's status, while Sitwell entered her room through the door and struggled with her for the weapon. Pollack tackled Sitwell, and the weapon fell to the floor, firing itself and destroying the money stolen by Pollack and Wise.
Sitwell interrogated the couple about the status of the weapon, being theirs the only one who still functioned, and Wise revealed that Pollack managed to repair it, and Pollack offered to show Sitwell how he did in order to avoid going to jail. Sitwell revealed that his mission was to retrieve the weapon and neutralize them. Pollack and Wise thought the worst of that reveal, but Sitwell recruited them to S.H.I.E.L.D.[2]

Anti-Matter Meteorite
When Skye thinks they should warn the people who live around Llactapata if the 0-8-4 is dangerous, Phil Coulson asks her if she remembers when an anti-matter meteor splashed down just off the coast of Miami, which nearly devoured the city. When she does not, he tells her that it is because S.H.I.E.L.D. kept it quiet and contained. [4]
Search for Phil Coulson
Lloyd Rathman, Senior Partner and director of wealth management for Kester, Dyer and Rathman LLP, was the owner of a party boat in Key Largo.
When Skye, excluded by Victoria Hand from the investigation to locate kidnapped agent Phil Coulson, posed as S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Melinda May to make Rathman help her hack into the bank accounts by using his private corporate I.D., she threatened to freeze all his assets, but offered to keep them all, even the party boat in Key Largo, if he cooperated in her investigation.[5]
Hunt for the Clairvoyant
Coulson's Team was on a hunt for the Clairvoyant and located his minion, Deathlok, in Pensacola. Grant Ward killed Thomas Nash, a quadriplegic that was thought to be the Clairvoyant.[6]
On the Bus, Raina tells John Garrett that Cybertek is prepping a facility in Miami after he was affected by an EMP caused by Leo Fitz.[7]
Double Trouble
| This section requires expansion |
In Miami, the church Santa Maria de las Flores caught fire, but the only artifact that remained untouched was a 500 year old painting with the Words of Creation written on its back. A priest and bishop decided to have a fundraiser to rebuild the church. Sunil Bakshi, disguised as Glenn Talbot, took the painting in the name of the United States Armed Forces to his hotel room.
Later, on South Beach, Lance Hunter kissed a woman to pick her purse to steal a ticket to give to Skye. Skye needed this ticket to duplicate it so that Phil Coulson and Melinda May could crash the fundraiser in order to get the painting.
