Synopsis[]

Daisy and Simmons uncover secrets and lies in a world gone mad. With HYDRA in control, they are our only hope to save everyone.

Plot[]

In the Framework, Johnson discovers that she and Ward are agents of HYDRA, working under May and Fitz. The tragic event from May's past has no longer happened; in the real world she killed a young Inhuman girl, but in the Framework she brought the girl back to America as a refugee, who then became a mass murderer and the catalyst for HYDRA to take power. Simmons awakens in a mass grave of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and eventually comes across Coulson who is teaching a HYDRA-approved curriculum that warns against the dangers of Inhumans. Simmons is unable to convince Coulson that he is inside a virtual simulation, and he calls HYDRA. Johnson races to find Simmons before the rest of HYDRA, and is followed by Ward, who reveals himself to be a mole inside HYDRA for the Resistance. Johnson and Simmons try to exit the Framework using a safeguard the latter created, but it has been blocked by AIDA, who has entered the Framework as the Director of HYDRA and Fitz's lover. Johnson then goes to Coulson, and he remembers her name.
