07x13 - What We're Fighting For

Post by bunniefuu »

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

And every outcome where we don't come out on top

has one thing in common.

Fitz.

And now you're gonna take us to him.

DAISY: Sibyl dropped Kora in my lap

because they knew I'd want to save her.

The thing is, I already have a sister to save.

Her name is Jemma Simmons.

Where are you?!

- [SOBBING] I don't want to forget you.
- Please. It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay. I promise.

I'm guessing from his attitude that he didn't find Fitz.

Fitz?

Who's Fitz?

Your mother d*ed protecting Daisy from him.

NATHANIEL: To all Chronicom vessels,

you may fire whenever you want.

They're doing it.

SOUSA: Are those space lasers?

DAISY: Just lasers that happen to be in space.

But they're weapons, right?

But they don't seem to be aimed at us,

which means they probably don't see us yet.

Hope that's still true after I do this.

[SWITCHES CLICK]

Alright, we got less than a minute

before we dock with the Zephyr...

or the other thing's gonna happen.

Let's say we manage to dock with the Zephyr

Well, look at you.

I was gonna say "in the flesh",

but I suspect it's more like a space-age polymer...

or something.

Either way, it's super-impressive.

Everything is.

And what a triumph.

All S.H.I.E.L.D. targets destroyed.

Except for the Lighthouse.

Straight to the point.

I like that.

You've been inside.

You know that the Lighthouse was built

to withstand any external att*ck.

Which is why we're taking a different approach.

None of it matters if Leopold Fitz is alive.

As long as he lives, our future isn't secure.

Jemma Simmons has effectively erased him from her memory.

In fact, based on what I saw,

there's a good chance he isn't even alive.

I'm not leaving it to chance.

The injection I gave her will dissolve her implant.

We'll learn whether she's truly forgotten Leopold Fitz...

or whether it's simply masking the truth.

It looks like every S.H.I.E.L.D. base is gone.

Even the Triskelion.

Are you okay?

I will be.

It's just... a lot.

You can feel all those lives lost?

Why weren't we att*cked? Sibyl knows where we are.

- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
- She's smart.

She knows the Lighthouse would survive

a conventional as*ault.

She must have other plans.

[MACHINE CHIMES]

Where's that coming from?

What are the Chronicoms doing now?

I can't stop it.

Why don't you two implement lockdown protocols

while I figure this out.

♪♪

Why didn't you tell me you were working with the Chronicoms?

I'm not working with the Chronicoms.

They're working for me... for us.

It's part of my plan.

Was k*lling my mom a part of your plan, as well?

I saw her body.

I know it was you.

I did that for you.

To protect you.

I didn't ask for that.

Because you're a good person.

You don't see the evil in others.

If you'd only heard some of the things she said...

that you were a mistake,

that she was sad you were even born,

how you needed to be put down.

Jiaying was never interested in being your mother.

She only wanted to control you.

She resented you.

But I'm here to set you free.

To show you how powerful you can be.

It was terrible,

seeing her on a table like that.

I know.

I'm making sure her body is buried

and that everyone who tried to hurt you

will be buried with her.

Maybe the thing that they injected you with is doing something.

Maybe it's destroying the implant

or it's scrambling your thoughts and your memories

Why would they do that?

Because they think that you have a secret.

I do have a secret.

I can feel it.

It's in there, and everything's...

I don't care.

She's not gonna stop me from getting back Simmons.

Yeah.

Mack gave us a hard drive.

It has specs of a device

I remember that room.

It cost you a hand.

Seemed like a big deal at the time.

There is no end to her hate,

to what she's willing to destroy.

But you know who's more powerful than her?

Us.

That's right.

S.H.I.E.L.D. are the bad guys.

It's why we're destroying them.

But after they're gone,

we'll be able to take over the planet.

There'll be chaos and anarchy,
