Well, after that episode, I’m really kicking myself for having the temerity to think that just because Fitz and Simmons had finally gotten married, their problems were over. How wrong I was!
I guess I should’ve realized things would get bad when this episode begins with Simmons and Fitz getting attacked by a Fear Dimension apparition in the form of an astronaut. That felt like a deliberate callback to the time Simmons spent on Hive’s planet with astronaut Will Daniels, which really threw a wrench in her relationship with Fitz. Simmons is able to shoot the apparition to death in short order, but unfortunately, some memories are harder to shake.
Coulson and his team need to know more about General Hale’s plan, so they decide to go straight to the source. To their own surprise, they’re able to hack and track Hale’s phone, so the Zephyr intercepts her car and they get her in custody.
Things start going bad when Deke tries to deliver this news to Fitz. For whatever reason, Fitz barely reacts to the news of Hale’s capture, so Deke (perhaps searching for some kind of approval or acknowledgment from his grandfather) gets closer — and is greeted with a wrench to the face. Fitz then takes off his work clothes, revealing the crisp suit his evil version wore in the Framework. The Doctor is back!
This must be another Fear Dimension apparition, right? It certainly seems like it, because the real Fitz is busy in the control room stressing out over his inability to come up with a solution to the Fear Dimension rift. Things just keep getting worse, as evidenced by two security cameras shorting out. When Daisy goes to check them out, Fitz suddenly finds himself face-to-face with the Doctor, who declares: “I’m here to do what you are unwilling to do.” That doesn’t sound good. It doesn’t look good either! Where Fitz has been struggling to come up with a solution to the Gravitonium problem, the Doctor has one, and it involves Daisy. He thinks Daisy’s powers are the missing key to controlling the Gravitonium, so he sends one of Hale’s robots to take her out. He also sends another robot at Mack and YoYo. Mack takes it out, but suffers an injury in the process, and decides to stay put to defend YoYo from any others. (Recap continues on next page.)
