Episode 18:

Talbot. Complete the mission, soldier. Eyes on the prize. He enters a storage room. The armory. Picks a pistol. Nobody has to get hurt. Gets back in the elevator.
To Control. Get in. Get out. Looks at the security monitors. Complete the mission. Mack asks if he's looking for something. Talbot's twitchy. Mack wishes they got him out sooner. Me, too, son. Me, too. Mack offers to listen. Talbot can't do that. But thanks. Just one task at a time. Mack tells him rest up, doctor's orders. Talbot says you got it. Happy to comply.

Fitz. Ruby tossing her chakram near Simmons over and over. Fitz says let her go. You want this fixed, I need her help. Please. We're a team. She cuts Jemma loose. He hugs her. Ruby says they're adorable. I ship it, I really do. Simmons says we've seen where this leads. You destroy the entire planet. Fitz says everyone you care about will die. Werner returns. Anton took a header out a window. The gravitonium is wheeled in. Fitz and Simmons whispering about the choice to make here. They can't choose anything over each other. So they keep working. Piece by piece. There's a lot to do.

YoYo in the Quinjet. No signal. She's still in pain. Takes her jacket off one arm and dislocates the robotic arm from herself.

Coulson wants to talk to May. She says she said all she needed to say. We have a mission, Phil. Daisy and May go over Hale's bunker. Mack notes that Deke is wearing body spray. Daisy and May tell Phil he's staying here. Deke wants to help. She tells him he just got shot, why are you out of bed? Heh. Coulson tells Daisy she's getting good at this. She says Professor Coulson was easy on his students. He tells her to give em hell. Yes, sir.

Hale let out of the room. Anton's dead. Mechs went down. Fitz and Simmons photos. Creel's not better. He's much worse. He's sitting in a corner rocking. He says they won't stop shouting. They hate each other. Ian Quinn. Franklin and Quinn are inside the gravitonium. Their minds. Their rage. Creel says they want out! They want out! Get them out! Get em out! He turned himself into the concrete of the wall and starts beating on it.

Welding. Coulson asks Mack if he's making progress. Mack doesn't like the idea of the Zephyr flying in space. Deke says relax. Daisy's going to figure all this out. Mack says dude's got it bad. Mmhmm. Deke says no. Way no. Coulson says that's convincing, I believe him. Mack says you confessed. Piper and I couldn't get you to shut up about it. Coulson figured it out a long time ago. Deke asks for advice. Mack and Coulson are useless. Deke says it's lemons, then. Buy a lemon and leave it on their bunk. That's a thing here, right? Oh, yeah, 100%, sure, you should do that. LOLOLOL

Talbot enters a room. Ring a ding ding. Ruby's drawings!

Daisy and May. May wants to hit. They get in the lifeboat. 10 seconds to launch. Safety first. Always. Game on. It drops them. Missile makes a hole for them to drop in to.

HYDRA agents rush in. Daisy and May fight them. Lots of hitting. May beats on a guy a few times after tossing him. Hale says stop. Stand down. That's an order! I surrender. There's no time to fight each other. I need your help. We all have to leave right now. My daughter took the gravitonium and wants to merge with it. Your scientist friends are there. She will kill them if she succeeds.

Simmons and Fitz threatened again. Jemma says we're doing what you asked. Werner says the infuser's reversed. they have to start over. Ruby beats on Fitz. Simmons yells that they'll fix it! They'll fix it! Ruby says look at me. Next time, it's her, and I won't use my fists.

YoYo has company. She goes too fast to take out a mech.

Robin's mother finds Talbot. He introduces himself. She says what are you doing in our room? He knows he shouldn't be here. I couldn't help myself. I have a boy, George. Haven't seen him in a long time. It's hard. I'm sorry. I haven't been myself. She says we're all out of sorts these days. It's a strange time. He says Robin can tell the future? Sort of. It's out of order. He tries to talk to Robin. She says you're the general. That's right. How did you know? I've drawn you.

Daisy and May update the team. Creel is sedated. Coulson owes him help. But right now we have to stop Ruby. Daisy won't use her powers around the gravitonium. Daisy and May tell them to go through Robin's drawings and see if there's something we can use.

Talbot asks about the world coming apart. When does it happen? Robin says soon. He says people want to meet you. We need to chat about this. Mom says Robin's tired, this can wait. He says the mission is now. I'm really sorry about this. He attacks Robin's mother. He chokes her asleep. Tells Robin you're coming with me. She knows.

**Poor Talbot. He hates this but can't overrule the programming. Past him would probably kill current him over this.

Plane arrives. Daisy gives orders. Hale says Coulson taught you well. Tells her to promise to not hurt Ruby. Daisy will try. It's not her fault what she is. She might make a good agent one day. Hale wants to know what to do. Daisy says talk her down. This can't get out of hand.

Werner tells Ruby that SHIELD arrived. He sent the mechs. Fitz says they're finished. Machine powers up and opens. Ruby grins. Werner hooks up the gravitonium. Fitz and Simmons say gravitonium is not easy to manipulate and we can't move it into the machine. There's still so much we don't know about it. It's unpredictable. Werner gets it moving into the machine. Ruby says You were saying? Fitz asks Simmons if she saw that? That's....different.

Robin's drawings. Coulson notices that Robin's floor video is paused. Holly is breathing. Mack says Talbot took Robin. He was messing with the feeds. He said he was happy to comply. Coulson feels guilty for missing this.

Ruby kisses Werner. She's in the chamber. Hands him her chakram. the doors close on her. Lights up in there and she screams. Get me out! She's screaming. Werner screaming. Hale hears it. Werner pulls a gun on them. Simmons says it's not us, we tried to warn her! Hale says it's not the machine! Shut it down! He does. Are we too late? Fitz doesn't know. She only took in 8% of the gravitonium. Doors open. Ruby floats out. Then falls hard. She says they're screaming, they're fighting. Help me. Werner will, he won't go anywhere. She caresses his face and he dies. She sobs, staring at her hands.

I didn't mean to! Get it out of me, please make them stop! Get them out of me! Simmons says we can't, it only works one way. Ruby slams FitzSimmons up on the wall. Hale says look at me! They drop. May gets them out. Ruby screaming about her head again.

Mack and Coulson get to Talbot. He's trying to get into the hangar. Coulson says this isn't a mission. This is Hale. She brainwashed you. The compliance program goes back to Whitehall. You're my friend and you'd never kidnap a little girl. Mack says think about your son, Talbot. Coulson says what if that was George? Fight it. You can beat it. Talbot says I can't, I can't complete the mission, I have to stop myself. Only one course of action. He puts the gun to his throat under his chin.

Hale tries to appeal to Ruby. Daisy tries, too. You will overcome this. Ruby says they're too loud! Daisy says focus, breathe. Try not to lose control. You'll only get more dangerous.

May and all get to YoYo. YoYo figures out Daisy is here.

Talbot can't trust his thoughts. There's no other way. Mack gets robin to come to him. Talbot tells Coulson to tell George I'm sorry. Coulson tries to use the programming on Talbot to get him to turn the gun on him. Mack shoots Talbot with an icer.

Ruby says you were my hero and now look at us. Hale tells ruby to let her go. Daisy drops. Ruby says I am more than you will ever be. Daisy wants to help. Ruby doesn't want help! I want to crush you. Daisy choking, dying. Hale yells at Ruby until she stops. Hale says listen to her, she's on your side! Ruby says I was never good enough for you. Hale says I wanted you to reach your true potential. I pushed you too hard. My daughter is not a mistake. YoYo arrives. Daisy says she's a kid, she's terrified. Ruby is losing. Screaming. Shaking things. Hale promises to make it better. YoYo used the chakram to slit Ruby's throat! Hale holds her as she dies. Daisy's shocked. Hale glares at YoYo. Ruby's body floats up. Then there's a blast. Energy surged out. Ruby's body is on the ground in a pool of blood. Where's Hale? How did she get away? What happened to Ruby? Daisy says I had it under control then YoYo killed her! YoYo says no. I just saved the world.

Hale in the alien meeting room. Kovas! He threatens her. She says I found what you're looking for. SHIELD has it. I can tell where they're hiding. They won't give it willingly. He says you'd have me kill them? She says no reason to stop him.

Next ep - Alien ship attacks the Lighthouse.
