Episode 7:

Kitson City. Casino. Woman recruiting at the bar. Enoch and FitzSimmons teleport in. People glance over, then go back to what they were doing. Enoch apologizes. It was his first attempt at using the transport disc. And another guy picks up and shakes the disc and disappears. They're stranded again. And Enoch and Fitz are still wanted here. Fitz yells at him. Jemma wants to go home.
 
May and Sarge in the elevator. Snow still likes May. May says put the chatterbox in holding. She takes Sarge through the halls. Agents stare at him. She and the guard bring him to Control. Daisy says this would be an awkward time to hug. Sarge asks if anyone else had a thing for Coulson. Daisy goes. Sarge says Daddy issues? May tells Mack what she learned about Sarge. YoYo says Keller didn't make it. Sarge says you took the blade out too soon. That's on you. Sarge tells Mack you need to let me go or anyone dies. Mack says you're staying. We're going to get to know each other. Take him away. Mack orders YoYo to take another run at Jocko. May asks for an update. Mack says Simmons found Fitz. 
 
Casino. Enoch says pose as enthused players until the way is clear. Jemma says this place isn't as fun without the puffies. Fitz asks if there's something she's not telling. Enoch says the exit is clear. Time to go. Doors open! Mr. Kitson was hoping you'd return. Lock them up. 
 
Giant is coughing. YoYo says you weren't breathing like that when they brought you in. She tells him Sarge is locked up, too. You all are going to be here for a while. You need to talk. He says let him out. My planet was like yours once. Beautiful. Smaller bones. Bigger sun. 8 boys. His youngest brother, they were always together. I was the runt of the litter. I trained him to be a baker. Family trade. All gone. Fertilizer. Except for me, thanks to Sarge. YoYo offers medicine to help him breathe. He says are you going to release him? Definitely not. Then I don't want anything from you.
 
Sarge tells Mack you're not ready to hear the answers. Nice little planet. Be a shame to lose it. Mack asks for his real name. Call me whatever you want. Mack calls him a murderer. Mack says there's only one God. Everything else is just egos. Sarge says Oh, it's that kind of planet. Like I sad, you're not prepared for this. You're going to come face to face with a god and everyone will die. Mack will protect his people. Sarge says Your people keeps looking to me. By the end of the day, I'll be the one in charge. 
 
Daisy back to work. Deke comes to her. Asks if she's good? She says yes. How's the stab wound? He says he's good. He puts his feet up. She says nice shoes. You've picked up some style in the past year. He's wearing Air Jordans. He invented shoes. He's going on his innovator spiel. I'm super rich now. I started a company. She's not impressed. He says I started a tech company. You inspired me. The world is all about making money and ol Deke is very good about it. He asks about her space adventure. She asks what he's been told. He says Mack was cagey. She says we found Fitz. He asks what are you talking about?
 
Mack and May going over Sarge's stuff. She suggests using Coulson's image. Deke charges in. Fitz died and no one sent me a text? There's a second Fitz and you sent someone to find him? Yelling at Mack. Mack says you helped, then you left. Deke would've gone to find Fitz. Mack believes him. I'll get us back out there and bring them home. But until then, I need someone to crack this tech. Deke says the flattery totally worked. 
 
Snow hears Jocko coughing. 
 
Sarge brought to Mack in his office. With the Coulson hologram. Sarge stares at it. Mack calls him a knockoff. Sarge says you're trying to make this personal? Mack says you'd have to be a person. I don't know what the hell you are. Do you? This man taught me what SHIELD is about. You do the right thing. Save lives, not take them. Your man Jocko isn't well. Cooperate and maybe he'll do the same. Help him by helping us. Sarge says Jocko's seen a lot. Maybe he's had enough. Mack says like I thought. Not worth anything to you.
 
Kitson portrait. His grandfather. Kitson says you have to be an SOB when you have ambition. He came to this planet with slaves and built the first settlement with their bare hands. You put my empire at risk. FitzSimmons says we just want to go home. Kitson is a gambler. Fitz says we can work. I'm an engineer. Simmons chimes in. Enoch is a super computer. Kitson says killing you is the use I have for you. Enoch will be sent to the brothels. For the Terrans? Hope you're not too attached to your heads. 
 
Simmons can't believe this is their end. No one would believe it. Fitz would. They're locked in guillotines. A deadly game. Who will keep their blades from falling? The player who can't hold the wait will decapitate. 
 
**They won't kill FitzSimmons. This journey is about how they get out of the peril. 
 
Who will be the first to die? The scoundrel? Or the Terrans. Scoundrel hits on Simmons. Fitz yells at him. Red wig lady wants the Terrans. Holds a knife on Kitson. Pick the loser. You've got the button. She'll bye them. I'll compensate you fairly. Kitson kills the scoundrel. Crowd cheers. FitzSimmons out of the guillotine. She offers them a drink.
 
Mack and Daisy. She says she's fine. I'm good. Nothing should surprise us. Mack says he's the same DNA as Coulson. She says that's not him. Mack needs her here. She says you have it handled, Director. He says things change when you're running the shop. She says Coulson struggled, too. He was very good at hiding it. He needs her. She's always direct. She says YoYo if the most direct person I know. I can't believe you and YoYo are still split up. Mack says you're not the only one that can compartmentalize. She says you love each other. Deke analyzed the encription. Hacked it. 2 dots. Moving toward each other. 
 
May gives orders. Capture, not kill. We'll save them. Zephyr 1 leaves. We'll check in when we've caught the birds. 
 
Agent checks on Jocko. Big guy's not breathing. Then he's up and expelling vapor. Kahn in trouble. Jocko breathes fire! Kahn yells to Control with the walkie talkie. 
 
**So, Jocko's going to melt a wall? Escape that way? Is it normal for his species to breathe fire? He breathed his home atmosphere from a can on the truck before.
 
Yep, he's melting a wall. Daisy quakes the door. Mack uses the fire extinguisher.Guess we know why he refused treatment.  Sarge's ticket out of here. 
 
One Shrike taken. May returns with the other. Wheels up in 5. 
 
Enoch toasts the woman. Izel. My new crew wanted you and your cheat. She came to recruit those with nothing to lose. Your knowledge might be perfect. She had artifacts stolen from her. She's going to Earth. It wasn't luck I saved two Terrans. But she doesn't have a ship. Just the jump drive. 
 
Sarge says you're persistent. Mack wants to chat. Sarge says he was trying to recruit May. He says again he won't be in here much longer. Anything could happen. Mack says they put out Jocko's fire and he's sleeping it off. Sarge doesn't think he'll call this home or you friend. Mack says I hoped we'd plan a fishing trip together. Oh well. Tells Sarge they bagged two Shrike. Sarge says seems like you've outsmarted me. Except that he's smirking. 
 
Quinjet returns to the Zephyr. May updates HQ. Setting a course for home.
 
Shrike go into the containment box. And they're vibrating. Break the cuffs. Close the door. They're touching each other and shrieking. 
 
***Guys, don't be arrogant about handling aliens you know little about. You had no idea what would happen if you put two of them in the same room. What happens when you put even more together? Sarge keeps warning you, even if it's not just for your own good.
 
YoYo gets on comm and tells May. May contacts Control. Mack tells them to sedate them but keep in the containment module.
 
Mack tells Daisy Sarge knew something would happen. They bring him in. Sarge asks if they got spooky on ya? Get used to trouble. More's on the way. Sarge says you put a knife in them, but it's too late now because you wanted to save lives. 
 
The Shrike are mutating in the module. We lost the hosts and an agent down. Should we jettison the module? Sarge says no. Daisy tells May. Mack asks what should be do with it? Sarge says this is where I list my demands. 
 
YoYo's freaking out. May asks for directions. Sarge wants his team and truck. Then I give you something that may save your team. May tells Control that YoYo's in there. Give us something. Mack says deal! What do we do? Sarge says cold. 
 
May tells YoYo get out now. YoYo says too late. Get oxygen and hold on. May had opened the cargo door to let in cold air. The crystals are still growing. Then dissolve when they're high enough. May calls in to YoYo. Do you copy? YoYo says we're good!
 
Module is wrecked. 
 
May tells Control the Zephyr is safe. Sarge says there's a lot out there where those two come from. And their maker is coming. Daisy asks what do we do next? Mack looks to Sarge. Sarge says "Toldja." Holds his cuffed wrists up. 
 
**Sarge is really a dick. Say's he's at least 100. But by whose clock? Different planets spin at different speeds. 
 
Kitson. Back to the crew. We're taking this ship back now. They're hesitant. She has a drive and credits. They agree. FitzSimmons is happy to be going home. Enoch, where are you going? Enoch says my mission is complete. I have to find a home for my people. Fitz says you're going to leave without saying goodbye? Enoch says humans says goodbyes suck. I thought I'd spare you. They thank Enoch. Fitz hugs him. Enoch says don't be afraid to call. Fitz takes the device. Enoch says use it only as needed. I won't miss you very much. I am bluffing. He leaves. They watch the door closed. 
 
Next ep - How can Shrike destroy a planet? Going with Sarge. The redhead is looking for monoliths.
