The episode picks up with a gravitonium-enhanced Talbot flying himself and Coulson up to the alien ship. Using his new powers, Talbot swiftly takes control of the ship and demands to speak with the leadership of the Confederacy.

Coulson is extremely concerned about his friend's increasing paranoia and mental instability and does his best to keep control of the situation.

Back at the Lighthouse, Daisy returns with Jiaying's corpse and gets into a physical altercation with Yo-Yo, which is broke up by May. Daisy hands the body over to Simmons to figure out a way to use it and the Centipede serum to save Coulson.

Daisy and May use the Zephyr to follow after Coulson and Talbot to the alien ship, which is now in orbit.

Talbot absorbs one of the six leaders of the Confederacy in order to take his position on the council. One of the other members is revealed to be Kasius, the father of the Kree who ruled over the remains of Earth in the future.

Kasius reveals that Earth is already under attack from Thanos, and the Confederacy had no intention of protecting it at all, only exploiting what they could before Thanos showed up and destroyed it.

Unfortunately, Talbot's madness grows too great. He kills Hale, forces Coulson to kneel before him, and captures May and Daisy, handing Daisy over to Kasius Senior.
