A team of ex-Hydra agents bomb Mavis' apartment to get her father's bio-weapon notes. The other True Believers retrieve Mavis. Mavis recalls how she recruited Ozzie after he was fired from SHIELD due to his mental health and Theo had been a conspiracy theorist until a piece of alien metal fused to his head gave him the ability to create holograms. Ozzie and Theo go after Hydra and find them testing the Anathema tranquilizer on Armadillo; Theo's holograms counter the drug's effect on Armadillo so he'll defeat the Hydra agents. Mavis awakens having recently surmised SHIELD had her father killed.
