The episode opens with Chitauri smugglers offering attempting to sell a piece of tech to someone; when they’re finalizing the deal, a disc rolls across the floor and blows a light charge, blinding everyone in the room. Ward comes in, and there’s a flurry of combat; the smuggler runs to the only exit he can find, in an elevator, but Skye freezes it, then sends it to the roof, where he tries to escape but is met by Victoria Hand in a black helicopter with a team of soldiers; they take in the man, named Van Chatt, and take him on board the plane for interrogation.Hand has a massive force on board the plane, and she’s taken control of it. She’s doing a briefing, when alarms go off; they figure someone’s hacking in, and Hand goes to kick her off the plane. Ward stands up for her but May won’t, so she’s off the plane. Ward is charged with getting her to debrief, confiscating her phone and laptop. Ward gives her twelve minutes to escape before the debrief team shows up, and the Brits give her a satellite phone.Cut to Coulson in Tahiti, and then he wakes up with Poe and Reina over him. He lies to them about what he sees, and tells Poe that he’ll die before he gives them anything. After Coulson refuses to give them anything, Poe brings in an Oddjob-like sidekick with a cattle prod to do it “the hard way.”
