Plot

Hydra brainwashing has been undone, and he is now Talbot's bodyguard. Jemma Simmons tests Creel's blood and discovers that mixing it with that of an inactive Inhuman prevents Terrigen from affecting the blood, meaning that Creel's blood could be used to synthesize a "vaccine" to remove the alien gene from dormant Inhumans. This causes an argument between Lincoln, who supports the idea of the vaccine, and Daisy Johnson
, who believes Terrigenesis is the birthright of all Inhumans, good or evil. Daisy and Lincoln later reconcile and have sex.

It is revealed that Malick had kidnapped George to blackmail Talbot, who interrupts the symposium to accuse Coulson of being a Hydra infiltrator. Malick manages to convince the delegates to believe in his deeds based on his past reputation, and he double-crosses Talbot, and tries to have him and Coulson killed. Creel rescues them, while Hunter, May, and Morse defeat the Hydra agents. May rescues George, to Talbot's relief, while other agents retrieve Fesi from Australian custody, and Hunter and Morse are sent to pursue Malick.

Lucio are loyal to him, and sends them to abduct five humans, whom he kills gruesomely, absorbing their life force to restore Grant Ward
's body to full strength. In an end tag, Hunter and Morse stow away on Malick's private jet as he leaves with Petrov.
