When she tries to get away with the Darkhold, Coulson and May stop her at the door. Coulson tells May that the Darkhold is hidden in Mace's office however, unknown to him, Aida is listening to every word he says, leading her directly to the book.

She makes the May LMD look beaten, so when Coulson comes to he thinks Aida overpowered her, too. Aida overpowers Coulson, and once he's knocked out takes control of the May LMD. Coulson and May go to lock down the base's emergency exit to the bar to prevent Aida from getting in, only to find her standing in their way. They move to the hangar, only for Aida to remotely take over a quinjet and open fire on them. Mack and Elena will stand as the first line of defense if Aida gets in the Playground. Radcliffe to start up backup servers disconnected from the internet put in place to restore power if they were hacked. Aida then shuts down the Playground's power to show them she's in control. Before they can do anything, however, Aida hijacks their phones to give them a message: she's coming for the Darkhold. They prepare for her to attack the Playground to recover the Darkhold. She reluctantly agrees to spare him from the Watchdogs after he pleads for his life.īack at the Playground, the team regroups after Aida went on the run. She goes for a walk with him, leading Vijay into a trap she set with the Watchdogs. He finds his sister, and she helps him catch up on what he missed in his seven months in the Terrigenesis cocoon. At Senator Nadeer's estate, Vijay wakes up from a dream about his mother's death during the Chitauri invasion. Simmons manages to take down the assistant, and grabs his phone to trace his call. Her assistant recognizes Simmons the scientist who worked on Vijay, after making a call to the Watchdogs to let them know about her, attacks.

Despite their objections, Coulson and Director Mace agree that Aida cannot be trusted as long as her memory contains information from the Darkhold.

Back at the Playground, Director Mace debriefs Coulson, Fitz, Mack, Dr. She then turns to the unconscious Agent May and promises to keep her safe until the LMD made in her likeness has served her purpose.
