07x11 - Brand New Day

Previously on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."...

I've been waiting.

I wanted to come with you, meet my sister.

You know, Sibyl told me all about her...

MAY: John Garrett's here with Nathaniel, and they have Gordon's powers.

Stay back.

If he's not here for Jiaying, what's he after?

Sousa, sh**t him!

- May, where are we going?

MAY: We're not going anywhere. You are.

The Zephyr's been h*jacked.

- My pal Sibyl ran the numbers, and every outcome where we don't come out on top has one thing in common.

- Fitz.

Okay, how do you drop off satellite?

Don't they surround the planet?

You move above them.

Daisy, I can feel your guilt.
This isn't your fault.

I should've quaked that psychopath's bones apart when I had the chance.

YO-YO: requesting permission to land.

You're clear, .

They have Kora.

Maybe she'll have answers.

We can't tell her about Jiaying's death.

She should know what her boyfriend did.

Kora's not stable.

Hearing that her mother d*ed might set her off.

Leave that to me.
