Ep 11:
5 days ago. Sorry, didn't think you'd get stuck on a milk run to Radcliffe's. When this is over, we're cracking open that bottle. Coulson leaves. Radcliffe comes to May. How did Mace take the news that AIDA is...? May says he has concerns. Radcliffe wants to see the book. May says when this is over, she's destroying it herself. He says he'll reach out to AIDA to let her know May is coming. Then he calls her. Activate Sunset Protocol.
AIDA lets May in. And drugs her. Then opens the door for May's android. Knocks May out. Dresses the android in May's clothes and updates her programming. Then gets May hidden. May-bot online. Continues where May had left off.
May at the spa. Man comes in. It's time for your massage. She doesn't remember coming here. I don't have time for this, thanks.
May wakes in the spa. Man comes in. It's time for your facial. May doesn't want to be here.
May wakes in the spa. She punches the man this time. And wakes up. AIDA grabs her by the throat. Radcliffe tells AIDA we have to sedate her. Like we saw before, May is out again.
Today - May still under. Radcliffe says it's not a permanent fix, but it doesn't have to be. AIDA asks why does the original May need to stay alive? Radcliffe says we're not killers! She says isn't one life worth millions? He says as a last resort. If something goes wrong, we have a safety net. Our second LMD.
Whaaaaaaat?
May's shoulder is stitched up.
Meeting with the team. Daisy's going to sign the Accords. Simmons says it's not you and not Coulson, either. Coulson wants to plant surveillance in Nadeer's office. Talbot says no, no, no. We have to be above approach. Wow.....he's not impressed by politicians. Some nasty words. Coulson says Mace and Talbot can handle the politics. He and the rest will do the rest.
May is awake. Tries to cut herself loose while AIDA is out of the room. AIDA made a mess on purpose, though. She's not clumsy, so she must have suspected May wasn't under like Radcliffe thought he'd done.
Yo-Yo and Mack in bed. That moved fast once he kissed her. She says I enjoy you. This outside, these arms...they don't seem real. Heh. He says you're not so bad yourself. She says she's a knockout, and thirsty. Gets a drink. His phone buzzes. He starts getting dressed. He's not going on the mission. She's asking about it and he's hedging. Mack apologizes. I know it's bad timing. You'll be fine and I'll catch up with you when you get back. Kiss goodbye.
Fitz looking at AIDA-1's memories. May-bot asks if AIDA was aware. Could she have stopped it? Fitz has questions about the choices, too.
May still trying to free herself. She cuts her hand. AIDA coming back. Radcliffe calls for her, tells her they need to attend to something. May resumes cutting herself loose.
Talbot doesn't want Coulson to bug Nadeer. Mace tries to get a word in. And sticks up for Phil. We need to get ahead of her. Talbot says you have to say that. Honestly, Talbot and Coulson both have good points.
May is loose. AIDA punches her when she gets to the door. Perhaps you are a problem, after all.
May hits AIDA with a chair. And a lamp. But AIDA's stronger. I don't wish for you to suffer. I promise to make this quick and painless. May stabs her with a poker and run out and up many stairs.
The signing. Mace joins Daisy. It's okay to be nervous. She says she doesn't get nervous anymore. I'll just tell the truth. He asks about her foster upbringing. I know how it feels putting on an act full time. I know it's not an act with you. I've learned to trust Coulson's read on people. She says he believed in me before I believed in myself. You, too. He says you were trying to do the right thing. She says sometimes it's an act. He says you got this. Nadeer enters. Talbot, too. Nadeer says have fun. Hmmmm. Daisy is sworn in.
Coulson enters with Yo-Yo. She asks about Mack. Coulson says Mack is a very private person. Ask him. Isn't it better to learn things organically instead of in a report? She says you and May will never get together if you go slow. He says no one likes a smartass. She says that hasn't been her experience. LOL.
Simmons and Fitz. She asks him to come on the op. He says he has stuff to do. She suggests talking about what's bothering you. I know you're upset about AIDA. I don't want to intrude, but you can talk to me, always. He knows. He's quiet when he's processing.
May keeps running up stairs.
Daisy answering questions. Nadeer asks if she feels more responsibility to help Inhumans than normals. Daisy says they are normal Americans. Inhumans are our friends, coworkers, brothers. They all deserve our help, wherever they may be. Nadeer asks about the bank thefts while she was undercover. Daisy's answer doesn't sound great to the room.
Simmons warns Coulson that security is coming. They pass.
Nadeer keeps pushing that Daisy's actions and SHIELD aren't good.
Simmons loses connection to Coulson. Yo-Yo opens a door and a force bomb blows her to the wall. They're caught in the office! Nadeer knows they were breaking into her office. She's making a point that SHIELD is a criminal organization after all.
**Someone told Nadeer to expect them. There's a mole!
Daisy, Coulson, and Yo-Yo sitting outside the meeting. Talbot and Mace reenter. We're free to go. Talbot says there's a full investigation. They'll drag us in front of every subcommittee. Coulson and Talbot arguing again. Coulson says this exposed the fact we have a leak. Someone warned Nadeer we were coming. Talbot says he's not the leak. SHIELD only exists because of him. Maybe that's a mistake.
May finds an unlocked door. Empty apartment. AIDA greets her. May won't give up. AIDA has the poker. They fight again. Onto the balcony. AIDA falls and it's fake. AIDA says this is the framework. A simulation. You're safe. We moved you to another location. Dr. Radcliffe knew you needed something to fight. But you keep beating the program faster every time.
May-bot and Simmons. They know there's a mole. Simmons says or eyes inside. She grabs Fitz's tablet. Did you turn AIDA on? She has Deathlok's eye tech. A camera watching us this whole time! She could've been broadcasting to Nadeer. You put us all at risk in a 100 ways. Fitz says he wasn't in the briefing so AIDA wouldn't know about this mission. It's not an obsession, Jemma. It's an investigation.
May-bot shows up at Radcliffe's door. What the hell did you do to me?
Answer me! What did you do? Radcliffe asks what tipped you off? She asks how much of me is me? Am I even me at all? He says the real May is safe and sound. She's threatens to tell Coulson. He says you won't. You have a mission. You don't know where May's memories end and my coding begins. She can't hit him. Programming. Did you program me so I can't tell anyone? He says no. So you wouldn't want to. There's no reason to resist. Do what you truly want? She says you don't know me. He says I've been inside your brain. I know whom you want. I've seen the closeness between you. You've been resisting, why? If only you and May could be happy. You are who you are. She says you're wrong. He's not. May has no time for happiness. She's too busy fighting her past. SHIELD breaks in. Fitz figured it out. Coulson asks May what she's doing here? She tells the truth without telling what she is.
Mack returns. Yo-Yo asks where he went. He went to see his ex. He's wanted to tell her about Hope. Elena assumes he's not in this. I'm not a jealous woman. But I refuse to be a cliche. Mack loves she's not a cliche. Hope was my daughter. She died. 11 years ago. Nicole, she got pregnant, but when Hope was born, it was touch and go. She only lived for 4 days. Tomorrow's Hope's birthday and Nicole has a hard time with it. I went so she wouldn't be alone. I've wanted to tell you that for a while. Elena hugs him.
Coulson. May gives him a drink. Today wasn't great. He says today was a kick in the balls. I was reckless. Why didn't I listen to Talbot? She says you were protecting your people. We are who we are, flaws and all. He says you're okay with that? She says yes.
Fitz visits Radcliffe. Radcliffe says it's a misunderstanding. Things got out of control. Fitz wanted to be wrong, but there was a pattern. You've turned on everyone. Radcliffe says I wanted to help everyone! You believed in me, stood by me. Been like a son to me. Fitz says that's why this sucks. Radcliffe says I meant well. Help me explain it. My first priority is to preserve life. Always. Fitz walks out. Grabs a gun. Shoots him in the head. It's an LMD! Fitz needs medical and engineering assistance.
Radcliffe with Nadeer! He called her after AIDA was exposed. He wants protection. She says he has to meet the Superior.
**Well that's not good!!!
Radcliffe, AIDA, and May. The new program is working better. Take her back to Bahrain. Fighting the fight she already lost. The Cavalry.
She calls Andrew. I did it. The girl is saved.
Next ep - Koenigs. Watchdogs torture to get the book. Love when Patton Oswalt is back.
