Episode 20:

News talks about Steve Rogers being missing. Coulson in a bar. May says we knew this would happen sooner or later. Peggy's death announcement in the paper. Coulson will deal with the gov't. She deal with Hive. General Talbot arrives. You promised you'd show me the base. Coulson wants to talk first. Talbot says the President sent me. He's concerned you have undocumented enhanced assets working for you. Coulson's not registering any Inhumans. We work in the shadows. Talbot says open doors, or I'll kick them down. Coulson says let's go for a ride. You might want to buckle up. LOL. The booth is an elevator down.

Daisy's blood dripping out. She's on a computer. Hacking. Sees Lincoln on the security feed. Hive says you like bad boys. Daisy says once. Now I feel sorry for him. Fitz locks her out. Hive won't be nice to her friends next time. Doc comes in to check on her. Says that's enough for one day. Don't want to kill the Golden Goose. Drink this and get some rest. Ready for the alpha test.

Hive is skeptical. Doc says we just need volunteers. Hive says he's recruiting someone special.

May visits Lincoln. He's angry he's still locked up. She says we can hand you to General Talbot right now. You want to help? Straighten up, fly right, and eat something.

Simmons and Fitz discussing Lincoln. And Daisy-proofing security. He wants Mack's help. She says he's healing. It's his mood that worries me. Fitz says that'll keep her out for a minute. May says forget about Daisy. Get back on offense. Think like Hive. What drives him, what does he want? We need to know his end game and we need to know it yesterday.

Talbot didn't know this SSR base existed. Coulson says it was left off the books. Trusting you, now I need you to not report our Inhumans. Yo-yo introduced. She calls the general naive. Coulson asks her to show what she can do. She took his ribbons off his jacket. Coulson says not all Inhumans can fend for themselves. Talbot says it's a protected list and highly classified. Coulson says they fall into the wrong hands and innocent people suffer.

The radicals aren't impressed by the Accords. They have an insider at the ACTU.

Lincoln talks to Daisy, hoping she's listening. I want to see you. Video changes. I'm here. I'm listening.

Lincoln asleep? Daisy says you can move now. I made a loop of you sleeping. We can talk privately. He asks if she's okay. She says fine, just a little drained. He says they don't trust me. Lost my mind over you. You're the only reason I was here. She says you said no. He says I said no to being brainwashed. But I just want to be with you. Alone and away from everything. I don't even know if that's possible. She says you have company. Get back in bed. Coulson and Talbot come in. Lincoln says I thought this was a germ free zone.

Mack and Yo-Yo. He says Daisy lost her soul to that thing. I don't want what happened to her to happen to someone else I care about. The sway isn't the worst. Whatever he's doing is apocalyptic. Biblical evil. She says you need a beer, and faith. Evil wins when good people doubt and run the other way instead of stand up and fight. Evil preys on the weak because it fears the strong.

Radicals in a van ready to hit.

Talbot explains the Accords to Lincoln. Lincoln asks how it works. Agrees to sign up. Coulson says that's not a good idea. Lincoln says I'll sign up if you get me out of here. Talbot questions why he doesn't fry them right here. Lincoln says I'd never get out of the base without help.

Talbot wants to see the ugly. Coulson brings him to Lash. Talbot freaking out. Coulson says he's an asset.

Daisy talks to Lincoln again.

May tells Talbot that Daisy is on assignment. Talbot has satellite photos of Daisy and a dead man. Wanted to see if Coulson would lie to his face. Coulson says the stakes are too high. What are you up against? The world as we know it.

They found James. He fires up a chain and attacks them. Hive behind them. I invited you. Become what you hate.

They explain about Hive. Simmons tells him about the nanoparasites. Talbot says this is why the Accords were created. She's a nuclear bomb in the wrong hands! Simmons says Hive may have everything he needs now. Fitz says we thought about his endgame scenarios. Simmons says he can use her blood. Kree blood in her and you. Coulson says that would kill her. Simmons and Fitz say Hive can do it. A virus to make an army under his control.

Radicals brought to Hive's base. Daisy says they don't deserve it. Hive says they all deserve emancipation. Doc activates the cocktail. There is screaming, then nothing. Doc says now we wait. Hive asks her if she's in SHIELD. She says yes. He says good. Please rest. We may need more blood.

She tells Lincoln it's time. I'm limited in what I can do. Team effort. You need that tape dispenser, pencil, the food tray, and a piece of that mirror.

Talbot is freaking out. Coulson says calm down. Talbot asks how are you so calm? Coulson says I'm getting used to this sort of thing.

Daisy says you have 3 minutes. Lincoln knocks out the guard. She tells him to take his comm.

Talbot wants to use the military. Coulson says Hive would already be done.

Daisy tells Lincoln to hold. May is coming. I'll distract her. Blinking light. Lincoln go now. He's clear to get to the exit.

Fitz says Hive stole something from an ACTU base in Indiana. Whatever that was. Daisy's back in the system. They figure out Lincoln sleeping is a pre-recorded loop. Talbot is angry again.

They open the shipping container. Doc says what have I done? James says I think you overcooked them, Doc? The radicals have transitioned.

Talbot says that's two Inhumans you've lost! Coulson says Lincoln's not going anywhere. May says there's still the way you came in. Talbot wants to loop in the President. Coulson says give it some time. We'll find him.

Lincoln runs into a dead end.

Mack helps Fitz and Simmons. Mack says Daisy could fly him out. The Quinjet. Daisy's locked them out.

Lincoln gets to the quinjet deck. Daisy doesn't have eyes there. Mack grabs Lincoln. Lincoln says you don't understand. I need to go. He shocks Mack to get him to let go. Daisy tells Lincoln to get to the jet and she'll do the rest.

Doc says it should've worked. Hive gives them commands and they comply. Doc begs to not be killed. Hive says get up. These will do just fine. Doc says they're an abomination of science and a poor reflection of my talents. James says he's with the doc on this one. Hive says they're part of me. I want you to make more. Doc wants to make improvements. Hive gives him a look. More, absolutely.....how many?

Lincoln ready to fly. She says just us, far from everyone.

Yo-Yo and Coulson and Talbot and May get to Mack.

Hive returns to Daisy. She says he's on his way. Hive will greet Lincoln when he arrives. Once he joins us, he'll understand. Come, I have something I want to show you. Takes her to the radicals. Our children. And we'll make more of them. We need more blood. She asks how much? He says all of it.

Fitz says Daisy's out of the system. Talbot wants the quinjet shot down. Coulson says no. Talbot says you let him escape! May says Lincoln didn't escape. She has Lincoln with her. Who was on that jet? May says desperate times, desperate measures.

Hive meets the jet. It's LASH. Hive is not pleased.

Lash attacks Hive.

Lincoln says Daisy was monitoring, so we couldn't say anything. May says Mack wasn't supposed to be there. Lincoln says I never trusted Daisy. She wouldn't greet me no matter what she said. I don't think Lash is meant to kill her. May put Lash on the jet while Coulson kept Talbot busy. Lincoln says every Inhuman serves a purpose.

Lash backing up Hive. Hive's power doesn't work on Lash. He hurts Hive. The radicals attack and Lash bats them around with ease. Doc says we're being attacked by a monster. Daisy gets up. Lash kills the Inhuman radicals. Daisy uses her power, but she's too weak. Lash approaches her. Uses his power on her. Pulls the infection out and eradicates it. Now you're free. (Thank you, Andrew.) He carries her into the jet. Lays her gently down. James pierces Lash with the fire chain. Daisy fires at them and takes Lash's hand. he dies. She gets in the pilot seat. Contacts base. This is Agent Daisy Johnson. I'm coming home. Repeat, I'm coming home.

She's escorted into base. So pale. Coulson says welcome back, Agent Johnson. Lincoln says it's good to see you. She says Lash died trying to save me. Talbot asks about Hive. She shakes her head. Lincoln says Lash was here to save Daisy. Simmons says that wasn't Lash.

Daisy in the med bay. Talbot says how do we know she isn't still working for Hive? Mack says have a little faith. Yo-Yo smiles.

Simmons says Daisy is back to normal, but does have withdrawal. It'll take time and rest. She'll make a full recovery. Coulson asks what's the bad news? Fitz says it's hypothetical, but we know what Hive plans to do with his pathogen. Affect a significant part of the human race. If he can disperse it in the atmosphere. Talbot says Hive has a way. He stole a fully operational warhead.

Mack in his room. Elena knocks. He's drawing a motorcycle. She says Daisy back is a good thing, right? He says he's ready to stand and fight. She says give me your hands. Close your eyes and don't open them until I leave. Keep the faith, Alfonso Mackenzie. She gave him her cross. The same cross from Daisy's vision.

Next ep - The team, a family. And now the dark prediction will shatter their world. Who will die? 2 hour season finale next week.
