Attack on Ellen Nadeer

The Attack on Ellen Nadeer was an attempt by the Watchdogs to determine whether Ellen Nadeer was an Inhuman, which unexpectedly triggered Tucker Shockley's Terrigenesis and resulted in an explosion that four people, including Nadeer, at the United States Capitol.
==Background==
Senator Ellen Nadeer lost her mother Sunjina during the Battle of New York and developed a strong hatred for anything alien-related.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 4.07: Broken Promises When the number of Inhumans dramatically increased in the Earth population, Nadeer publicly spoke against them and advocated war against them.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 4.03: Uprising Her disgust towards Inhumans even led her to try to kill her own brother Vijay, who had underwent Terrigenesis.
Due to her brother being an Inhuman, the Superior suspected that Nadeer could be a possible Inhuman as well. Although Nadeer had secretly funded the Watchdogs since the beginning, the Superior could not bear being supported by one of the people he was hunting. Therefore, he sent Tucker Shockley to Nadeer's office with the mission of shattering a Terrigen Crystal and seeing if it triggered Nadeer's Terrigenesis.Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: 4.13: BOOM
==Attack==
Tucker Shockley went to the United States Capitol, taking a shard of a Terrigen Crystal with him. He entered Senator Ellen Nadeer's office and they discussed Nadeer's commitment into the anti-Inhumans cause. Shockley then explained that there was a possibility that Nadeer had dormant Inhuman genes in her DNA just like her brother did. Enraged, Nadeer ordered Shockley to leave her office, but he refused and shattered the Terrigen Crystal he had brought.
A Terrigenesis effectively occurred, but not for the person Shockley expected. Instead of Nadeer, he underwent Terrigenesis himself and screamed in horror as the husk enveloped his body, confirming that Shockley was one of the very individuals he loathed. Nadeer laughed and began insulting Shockley, claiming he was disgusting. However, Shockley could not control his newfound exploding powers and caused Nadeer's office to blow out in a massive explosion which killed Nadeer, her assistant Zach Bynum, and two other people.
==Aftermath==
As they received the confirmation of Ellen Nadeer's death, the majority of S.H.I.E.L.D. was not eager to mourn her, as she ordered a hit on Jeffrey Mace and her overall hatred of Inhumans. However, Mace believed that they could have brought Nadeer to justice if she was still alive and that the explosion ruined their chance. However, S.H.I.E.L.D. worried that the senator's active hatred for Inhumans might have provoked Inhumans that the agency did not have accounted for or sympathizers to the Inhumans' plight to take aggressive action.
Tucker Shockley returned to the Watchdogs base where he was confronted by the Superior. At first, Shockley lied and pretended that the explosion had been caused by Ellen Nadeer's Terrigenesis. However, after he was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D., Shockley called the Superior and confessed his true nature. Despite the Superior's disgust, Shockley insisted that he would still work as an Inhumans hunter. Eventually, Shockley would be used as a bait to kidnap S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Jeffrey Mace.
