Quake

: "It's funny what can happen when someone believes in you."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Phil Coulson[src]
Agent Daisy Louise Johnson is an Inhuman, genius-level hacker and a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative. Born to Calvin Johnson and Jiaying, she was taken away when her mother was murdered by HYDRA and raised at Saint Agnes Orphanage under the identity of Mary Sue Poots. Disliking her legal name, she adopted the alias Skye after she left the orphanage, and worked for the Rising Tide, putting her on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s radar. However, Phil Coulson recruited her into his team and appointed her as a consultant where she became a valued agent during the hunt for the Clairvoyant. After the events of the HYDRA Uprising, she joined the rest of her team in going off the grid. Skye was devastated when she learned that Grant Ward was a HYDRA operative, and she joined the team in defeating the Centipede Project and John Garrett.
When Phil Coulson became the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Skye went with him to begin rebuilding the organization. Working to stop HYDRA eventually led to Skye being reunited with her father. She discovered her mother's lineage's alien-based origin and was exposed to the Terrigen Mist, granting her vibration manipulation abilities. The activation of her Inhuman abilities alerted the attention of other Inhumans, and Skye was taken to Afterlife to help her better understand her powers. She was eventually reunited with her mother, and later played a large role in the conflict between the reunified S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Inhumans.
Assuming her birth name, Daisy Johnson became the first recruit and leader for the Secret Warriors. In that role, she began working with Alphonso Mackenzie to find new Inhumans and led the team in their battle against HYDRA. During a mission, Hive took control of Johnson's mind and used her in his plan to conquer the world. For days, she acted as Hive's right-hand woman, until the Inhuman army they were building fell into a trap which resulted in Lash releasing her from Hive's control. The trauma of this combined with the heroic sacrifice of Lincoln Campbell, who she was romantically involved with, led to Johnson leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. and becoming a vigilante known as Quake.
During this time, she came across the mystical vigilante known as Ghost Rider, with whom she created an alliance to fight criminal organizations. The two later helped S.H.I.E.L.D. to find the Darkhold before Lucy Bauer would use it. She rejoined S.H.I.E.L.D. after defeating Eli Morrow. Continuing fighting the Watchdogs led by Anton Ivanov, Johnson discovered that her S.H.I.E.L.D. colleagues were kidnapped by Holden Radcliffe and Aida, so she and Jemma Simmons entered the Framework in order to find them. They succeeded and they all returned to the real world - bar Jeffrey Mace, who had died during a mission within the Framework - only to face the threat of the now living Aida. Johnson stopped Aida from using her for her ultimate goal.
However, soon after their victory, the team was sent to the year 2091, when Earth had been destroyed and the surviving humans were enslaved by the Kree. Johnson was quickly trapped by the ruler of the Lighthouse, Kasius, and was forced to participate in the sale of Inhumans, because of the belief she was the one who had destroyed the planet. Only when Leo Fitz arrived to the place she was freed, but with a device that inactivated her powers. As the team found a way back to the present, Johnson refused to return due to her fear of causing the apocalypse and believing she was the Destroyer of Worlds, only to be forced to return by Coulson. As the team was working to prevent the Destruction of Earth, Johnson's Inhuman Control Device was painfully removed by Fitz. With Coulson being missing after his capture by Hale, Johnson assumed the role of S.H.I.E.L.D. leader in order to rescue him. Johnson saved the Earth after she killed Glenn Talbot and later followed Mackenzie as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s new Director. Afterwards Johnson and the team dropped off Coulson and May in Tahiti so they could live what was left of Coulson's life. Johnson then gathered a team and left for space in search of Fitz's alternate self, following his death during the final battle against Talbot.
Traveling to several planets, Johnson and her teammates eventually arrived to Naro-Atzia, where they were intercepted by the Chronicoms, who had already captured Fitz. Johnson reluctantly agreed to leave Simmons with Fitz and the Chronicoms while she returned to Earth and learned about Sarge, an extraterrestrial mercenary who looked exactly like Coulson. As S.H.I.E.L.D. initiated an uneasy collaboration with Sarge, Johnson worked at length to understand his connection to Coulson, wondering whether her mentor was somewhere in Sarge's mind, especially after Sarge called her "Skye." However, her trust towards Sarge nearly took the life of May as he turned on S.H.I.E.L.D. and allied with Izel, although Johnson and her teammates were ultimately able to defeat them both. Due to the threat of the Chronicom Hunters, Johnson was then brought into the past by Simmons in order to have time to prepare their counterstrike. In the process, Johnson activated a Life-Model Decoy of Coulson to help them in their endeavor.
Now in 1931, Johnson and her team saved Freddy Malick from being assassinated by the Chronicoms, then jumping to 1955 to stop the launch of Project Helius, after which the team decided to save Daniel Sousa from HYDRA assassination. In the 1970s, Johnson and her teammates reunited with the Malick family, including Freddy's son Nathaniel. Johnson and Sousa were kidnapped by Nathaniel, who used Daniel Whitehall's formula to give himself her quake powers. They returned to the Zephyr One; however, damage to the ship caused in the 1970s resulted in Johnson and Coulson being stuck in a time loop which they only escaped thanks to Enoch sacrificing himself. Now stranded in 1983, Johnson helped Simmons remember how to activate the Quantum Tunnel that brought Leo Fitz to their timeline to help beat the Chronicoms. Johnson and her team devised a plan to bring the Chronicom fleet to the original timeline's 2019, where Johnson fought Nathaniel Malick on a Chronicom ship, causing a massive explosion that destroyed the fleet and killed Malick, but also killed her. Thankfully, her newfound half-sister Kora used her Inhuman powers to revive Johnson. Following S.H.I.E.L.D.'s victory over the Chronicoms, Johnson started a relationship with Daniel Sousa, and the two plus Kora set off into deep space to explore the universe.
== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
==== Taken from Her Family ====
: "Found the senior agent up under a bridge. He managed to escape with a gunshot wound to the neck, but he bled out. He was still holding on to the 0-8-4. Poor thing was covered in blood. We thought she was dead too, but she was just asleep in a dead agent's arms.""Wait, the baby? The girl was the 0-8-4?"
: ―Richard Lumley and Phil Coulson[src]
Born in a small village in China on the warm summer night of Saturday July 2, 1988 in the Hunan Province, Daisy Johnson was the daughter of Jiaying, who carried the genetic marker of the Inhumans and was gifted with longevity. The baby's father, Calvin Johnson, an experienced medical practitioner, delivered her. Shortly after Daisy's birth, a group of HYDRA operatives raided the village and abducted Jiaying. She was brought to Austria to the fortress of Werner Reinhardt.
Reinhardt vivisected the woman and used her blood and organs to regain some of his youth, and left her remains to be found by the infant's father, driving him into a state of extreme rage. While Calvin butchered the HYDRA agents in search of his daughter, Daisy was found by a S.H.I.E.L.D. team sent in to investigate the massacre. The team was quickly killed off by the girl's father, prompting S.H.I.E.L.D. to send in a back-end team consisting of Richard Lumley, Linda Avery, and three other agents. They found the infant sleeping in the arms of the dead lead agent, and designated it as an 0-8-4.
After returning to the United States, the other members of the team started to be eliminated. To ensure her safety, the baby was dropped off by Avery at the Saint Agnes Orphanage, who gave her the name Mary Sue Poots, and arrangements were made for her to be moved to different foster homes to keep her safe. The girl's father continued to search for his daughter, relentless in his search.
When she was nine, she stayed with a family called the Brodys, that Poots particularly wanted to like, but she was soon sent back to the orphanage. Since she did not like her legal name, she gave herself the name Skye. When she grew up and became a computer expert, she deleted all official records on her "Mary Sue Poots" identity.
Skye became obsessed with finding out the truth about her parents and eventually she dropped out of high school, ran away, and joined the Rising Tide, a computer activist (or as Skye would say, "hacktivist") group. Skye and the Rising Tide shared certain beliefs about the freedom and accessibility of information. It was through the Rising Tide, that Skye bonded and became involved with Miles Lydon. She also dated a Russian hacker. She only learned how to say dirty words in Russian before breaking up. Some nights, Skye would drive up to a cliff overlooking Los Angeles to sleep.
Skye spent two years living out of her van and using her skills to reveal classified data to the public while searching for information about her parents. However, in all of her searching, the only evidence she was able to find about them was a document with all of the pertinent data redacted by S.H.I.E.L.D. It was then that she came on to the idea of infiltrating S.H.I.E.L.D.
=== S.H.I.E.L.D. ===
==== Meeting Mike Peterson ====
: "You can't walk away from this. With great power comes.... a ton of weird crap you are not prepared to deal with."
: ―Skye to Michael Peterson[src]
While investigating the rumors of something called "Centipede" in Los Angeles, Skye witnessed and recorded Mike Peterson's display of superpowers during as he rescued a woman from a burning building. Skye looked in awe of Peterson, but he ran away, so Sky went to check on the woman.
Intrigued by Peterson, Skye decided to follow him so she could speak with him about his powers. Skye met with Peterson at Ruthie's Skillet, where she revealed she knew he was the "Hooded Hero." Skye then discussed Peterson being a superhero, but he refused to confirm his identity. When Skye claimed that Peterson was in danger, she told him about S.H.I.E.L.D., leading to her wanting him to go public as a hero, offering to help him. However, Peterson declined and left Skye, unaware she had stolen his license.
==== Found by S.H.I.E.L.D. ====
: "S.H.I.E.L.D. covered up New Mexico. Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S.. Of course you'd be covering up Centipede. Holy no way. You don't know what that is. Billions of dollars of equipment at your disposal, and I beat you with a laptop that I won in a bet?"
: ―Skye to Phil Coulson[src]
After her failed meeting with Mike Peterson, Skye returned to her van and was in the middle of creating a video about S.H.I.E.L.D. not being able to stop the Rising Tide when she was captured by Phil Coulson and Grant Ward. Skye was then taken to the Bus to be interrogated about Peterson, but was being uncooperative and attempted to play it cool. Skye revealed Centipede Project to the agents, who had not heard of it before, and Ward questioned her about it, so she informed them. They continued to demand she reveal Peterson's identity, but she refused, as she saw S.H.I.E.L.D. as the bad guys.
To get her to comply, Coulson brought in a powerful Truth Serum, although, he ended up injecting it into Ward to help Skye work with them. Coulson then left Skye alone with Ward to ask him anything, so she began to ask him personal and top secret questions to test the affects of the drug. When the affects of the drug wore off, Skye then spoke with Coulson, now trusting him. Coulson then showed Skye a report of Peterson attacking someone, so she decided to finally reveal his identity so S.H.I.E.L.D. could help him.
==== Chase of Michael Peterson ====
: "Mike! What are you doing?""Saving you. From the scary men in dark suits. And you're gonna help save us."
: ―Skye and Mike Peterson[src]
When Phil Coulson brought this information about Mike Peterson to the rest of his team, and when they had problems with the audio from a recording before the building's explosion, Skye offered to help, using the recording she acquired from surveilling the building. Melinda May then escorted Skye in her van so she could retrieve the audio, which could only be done in its previous location. Skye was then able to send the audio back to Leo Fitz at the Bus, but when they went to head back, Peterson arrived and knocked out May and captured Skye.
Peterson forced Skye to drive him and his son to the train station and delete all records of his existence. Skye was able to secretly contact Coulson's team and send them her location so they could stop Peterson. Coulson soon arrived and spoke to Peterson to surrender, but he grabbed Skye and evaded the agents. While making their way through the station, Skye was able to escape by kicking another man between the legs so his group of friends would fight Peterson. However, Peterson was able to find Skye and grab her again. Peterson then searched for his son, but was shot of the level.
When the assassin went to kill Skye, May stopped him and knocked him out with ease. Skye and May then joined Coulson on the bottom level as he was trying to calm Peterson down. Skye watched as Peterson became enraged but after Coulson spoke to him, he soon calmed down. However, he was suddenly shot by Grant Ward, but Jemma Simmons rushed in and confirmed that he was still alive, successfully stopping him from causing an explosion.
==== Joining Phil Coulson's Team ====
: "I'm not exactly a team player.""We're not exactly a team. But we're in a position to do some good. You'd be a great help. And you'd be front row center at the strangest show on Earth, which is, after all, what you wanted."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
After helping S.H.I.E.L.D. get Michael Peterson the help he needed, Skye accompanied Phil Coulson in bringing Ace Peterson to his aunt to stay. As they left, Coulson asked Skye if she had thought about joining the team. Skye was unsure at first, but Coulson assured her that they could do some good. After getting a call from Grant Ward about an 0-8-4, Coulson then flew them back to the Bus in L.O.L.A., and Skye decided to join the team.
==== Tracking the 0-8-4 ====
: "So, what am I doing?""Well, if it gets out, I might need you to create some kind of diversion. Put the public on the wrong scent.""So, everything that I'm against."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
At the airfield, Skye unpacked her belongings inside her van and moved into the Bus, where she was welcomed by Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, who showed her around. When Skye commented on the Bus to Phil Coulson, he told her how he received it after dying before the Battle of New York. They then took off and flew to Peru where the 0-8-4 was reported, and Coulson informed her of the protocol for handling 0-8-4s.
When the team arrived in Peru, they drove to the temple to investigate the 0-8-4. As they walked, Skye suggested to Coulson if she should post something to inform the public, but he told her that it is better to handle these situations with complete secrecy, so they don't alarm everyone and cause panic. Coulson then told Skye that all he needed her to do was create a diversion if the situation gets out of hand to distract the public.
Skye, Coulson, Fitz and Simmons then entered the temple where they discovered the Peruvian 0-8-4 was lodged inside it. As the team examined the 0-8-4, Skye attempted to look up anything related to it on the internet, but found nothing. Skye went to touch the 0-8-4, but Fitz warned her not to, and then told the team about it. Shortly after, Grant Ward called them to inform him of the situation outside with the Policia Militar del Perú who had arrived and were all holding guns to each other.
As Fitz and Simmons inspected and discussed the 0-8-4, Skye attempted to join in, but was completely out of her element, so she went to check on Coulson. However, Ward entered and informed them of the situation outside, telling them to hurry as the national police had arrived for the 0-8-4. When Skye brought up her support for the rebels fighting against the government, Ward argued with her about her opinions, not seeing all the violence as a good thing. Ward then told everyone to do their jobs, which he then insulted Skye by questioning what she was doing with them.
When the rebels attacked, Ward ripped out the 0-8-4, and they headed out of the temple to return to the Bus. Skye, Fitz and Simmons took cover as Ward used the Thunderstick to knock out the rebels, and they were soon rescued by Melinda May, who drove them away. As they rushed back to the Bus, they were chased by the rebels, but were able to get back on board the plane, and were soon joined by Coulson and the military group. May was able to get them in the air, and Fitz explained to them all that the 0-8-4 was powered by Tesseract technology, and was incredibly dangerous.
==== Retaking of the Bus ====
: "You don't need to come up with the whole solution. Just part of it. Right?""Yeah. Pieces solving a puzzle."
: ―Grant Ward and Skye[src]
Skye then stood in the lab with the team and watched as they argued amongst each other. When Phil Coulson entered, Skye expressed her concerns for the team's dynamic, believing that she could be leading the team despite her lack of experience. Coulson then left them to work out their problems with each other in order to become a better team. Skye then joined Grant Ward and tried to clear things up with their argument in Peru, as well as explaining what the Rising Tide was all about. The two then made amends with each other.
Ward then alerted Skye to the suspicious behaviour of the military group, who went to attack them, so Ward fought them off. However, when Leo Fitz's life was threatened, Ward surrendered, and the team, minus Coulson were tied up together in the cargo bay. When Melinda May regained consciousness, they decided to work together as a team to escape and retake the Bus. May was able to get them all free, and they began to execute their plan. They used the 0-8-4 to blast the open the Bus, eliminating most of the enemies. As Ward dealt with the remaining enemies, Fitz and Jemma Simmons retrieved the 0-8-4, and Skye covered the hole in the Bus, successfully retaking their plane.
When they arrived at the Slingshot, Skye and Coulson discussed the hijacking, making her question being a part of his team. Coulson then informed Skye about Slingshot, stating that the 0-8-4 is too dangerous and therefore needed to be destroyed. Fitz and Simmons then came out with drinks, inviting the team to watch the rocket launch. When Coulson asked about them blowing a hole in the Bus, the all took responsibility for it. As the rocket took off, Skye received a message from Miles Lydon, and decided to stay in contact with him.
==== Infiltration into Ian Quinn's Mansion ====
: "I'm not an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., so I could go in without breaking all these stupid rules."
: ―Skye to Coulson's Team[src]
Now officially apart of the team, Grant Ward became Skye's supervising officer and had her do frequent fitness training to be better prepared for the field. When Skye arrived late for training, she complained about the amount of exercise she had to do, but Ward informed her of its importance, telling her how every S.H.I.E.L.D. agent has a defining moment that tests their dedication to the organization.
The training was interrupted when Phil Coulson called them for briefing about a new mission. They all gathered upstairs, where Coulson told them about a S.H.I.E.L.D. transport that was attacked and the cargo, Franklin Hall, was captured. Upon landing in Colorado at the scene of the attack, they discovered Gravitonium, which was used to launch the truck in the air. When they returned to the Bus, Melinda May had Skye go through the entire log of every communication from HQ after they decided to transfer Hall.
As Skye looked through the logs, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons told her about what Gravitonium was, which she attempted to follow. When they investigated Ian Quinn, Skye believed he was the wrong target, viewing him as a good guy due to his contributions to charity. As the team struggled to make a plan to infiltrate Quinn's mansion, Skye suggested that she could go in, not being an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., allowing her to not abide by any rules. After obtaining an invite for herself, they allowed Skye to carry out the mission.
To help her before the mission, Ward taught Skye some techniques to disarm an enemy with a gun, although she was being difficult. However, after Ward shared a story from his childhood, she took the training seriously. Coulson then went over the mission plan, informing Skye of her role to assist the team in infiltrating the mansion. Arriving in Malta, Skye was driven to Quinn's mansion, and as she made her way through the gathering, the team on the Bus provided her with information to help her blend in.
When Skye spotted Quinn, she approached him and they began talking, where he offered her a job, being impressed by her work with the Rising Tide. After Skye listened to Quinn give a speech against world organizations, she went to search the mansion, but was caught by Quinn. To protect her cover, Skye intentionally revealed how she was working with S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to get Quinn to trust her. Convinced by this, Quinn invited Skye into his private office, where she destroyed her communication device and continued to lie to Quinn until she could disable the security system.
When Quinn was informed of a security breach, he realized Skye's deception, so he grabbed her by the throat and held a gun to her, threatening her to tell him what S.H.I.E.L.D. was doing. However, by using the training she received from Ward, Skye was able to disarm Quinn and steal his gun. Not being able to commit murder, Skye fled the mansion, jumping off of the balcony and into the pool. As Skye attempted to escape the mansion, she was caught by Quinn's security, but was soon rescued by Ward. They later found Coulson confronting Hall.
The team returned to the Bus, not being able to rescue Hall, and Skye returned to her training, having witnessed its importance during missions. Ward discovered Skye in the middle of punching the boxing bag, she asked him more about his childhood, and Skye opened up about her time during the foster program, where she never was able to fit in despite how hard she tried. Skye then revealed that she wanted to fit in with S.H.I.E.L.D. badly, and Ward assured her they'd be there for her.
==== Hunting Akela Amador ====
: "I still don't know much about you... Except for you value really old stuff. And you value me. First person to do that in a long time. So, I happen to believe you're an excellent judge of character. If you think this woman deserves a second chance, we should give it to her."
: ―Skye to Phil Coulson[src]
As Skye was spending time alone in a SUV, Phil Coulson came to her, asking about her familiarity with heists, informing her of someone stealing highly secured diamonds, asking her to uncover their exploit.
Skye then joined Coulson and Melinda May to investigate a robbery on a train, where a group of military officers, escorting some diamonds were taken down by one woman who did it with her eyes closed. After Skye found a lead through social media, they soon learned that the assailant was Akela Amador, Coulson's old protégé. The team then went to Zloda, Belarus to search for Amador, Skye, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons being instructed to look for her electronically in the van.
Skye called Grant Ward during the mission to ask about using the bathroom, only to discover a water bottle he brought for them. They then began to search for Amador, until they came across a broadcast with an unusual signal containing live surveillance looking at a van, which they then realized was their van. At that moment, they were hit by a truck driven by Amador, knocking them into a ditch, as Skye was unable to drive away or properly use the gun to fire at her. The team then regrouped in the Bus, where they were able to continue to see the surveillance, learning that Amador was being controlled.
The team decided to take shifts watching the surveillance, and after Skye's shift, she went to update Coulson in his office. Understanding the conflicted nature of the mission, Skye reassured that the thing she was certain of about Coulson was his judgement about people, supporting giving Amador a second chance. When May rescued Amador, Skye accompanied Ward as he covered for Amador, undertaking her mission. Skye stayed in a car as Ward infiltrated the Todorov Building in Minsk, assisting him as she watched his feed.
Ward's cover was eventually blown, so Skye rescued him and drove them away, but fortunately, Fitz and Simmons were able to remove the Backscatter X-Ray Eye Implant from Amador, saving her life. Later, Coulson joined Skye in the SUV and talked about the recent mission. Skye was later asked by Fitz to use the Backscatter Glasses to look at Ward's cards as the played poker, but when Skye revealed that she would also see Fitz naked, he aborted the plan. Skye, however, did use the glasses to look at Ward naked when he turned around, much to her pleasure.
==== Conflicting Loyalties ====
: "My lifelong search has led to a single document, redacted.""By S.H.I.E.L.D..""No matter what you do, I'll never stop looking."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
As a part of her training, Grant Ward decided to play Skye in Battleship, in which she was able to beat him. Phil Coulson gathered the team to inform them about Chan Ho Yin, a man with pyrokinetic abilities, who was kidnapped. During the briefing, Skye learned about the Index, which shocked her. They soon discovered that the Rising Tide was responsible for.
From this news, Coulson brought Skye into his office with Ward to assess the situation, which she believed they were suspecting her. Skye defended herself, and promised she could trace the hack, so Coulson gave her the chance. Skye then began to locate the hack, as the rest of the team watched on, soon discovering the hack's origin location to be in Austin, Texas. They then learned that the hacker was names Miles Lydon, who Skye was secretly in contact with, clearing her name, and the team prepared to apprehend him.
Arriving in Austin, Skye contacted Lydon to warn him of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s presence, allowing him to evade capture. Skye met up with Lydon in his apartment, telling him off for almost compromising her place with S.H.I.E.L.D. to locate her parents. However, they soon ended up making out, having been separated for a long time. After they had sex, Skye went to get dressed, hiding the microchip with all her collected data in her bra for safety.
After talking about S.H.I.E.L.D. with Lydon, Skye looked for her top, only to discover Melinda May in the other room, having followed her. May told Skye to get dressed, and the rest of her team entered the apartment. Coulson questioned Skye on how long she had been in contact with Lydon, and she told him that she was not working with him, just looking out for him. Skye attempted to convince Coulson she was helping the team by getting information from Lydon, but the whole team were cold to her.
Skye and Lydon were then taken into custody on the Bus and locked up together. Lydon continued to voice his hate for S.H.I.E.L.D., but Skye defended them, now understanding what they truly were. Ward entered the room and revealed to Skye how Lydon sold information, which infuriated her. Lydon then revealed his buyer was a woman in a flower dress and that he was tasked with hacking into an organization which had to do with the Centipede Project.
Skye was then left with Lydon, calling him out for going against everything that he had ever said to her since they met. Lydon tried to defend his actions, saying that he took the money to benefit the two of them, but Skye lost her respect for him. As Coulson and May were on a mission to save Chan, Skye rejoined the team when they became trapped in the building. When the agents needed extraction, Skye told Ward to get her into the building, which allowed her to fix the system. Skye and Ward were able to regroup with Coulson and May as they escaped the building as Chan exploded.
After the mission, Skye spoke to Lydon, telling him she's staying with S.H.I.E.L.D., and the two parted ways for good. Skye then met with Coulson, and he told her off for lying to the team since she joined. Coulson then told her to confess what she doing with them, knowing she was hiding something, so Skye took out the microchip from her bra, revealing it was everything she had on herself, as she had been trying to uncover her origins. Coulson offered to help, allowing her to stay, but also gave her a Tracking Bracelet to wear.
==== Chitauri Virus ====
: "I hate this. I feel so...""Helpless."
: ―Skye and Grant Ward[src]
After Leo Fitz was given an unsatisfactory review of his modified Night-Night Gun by Grant Ward, he mimicked Ward, making Skye laugh. The two then talked about how Skye was trying to earn the whole team's trust back and how incredibly linked Fitz and Jemma Simmons are. Simmons then proved Skye's comment when she joined them and had the same response to mimic Ward. At that moment, Ward joined them, informing them of their next mission.
The team then arrived at the location of mysterious death in Wrigley, Pennsylvania, and Skye stuck with Ward, comping his actions, trying to earn his trust, but to no prevail. After discovering the body, floating in mid-air and then sudden dropping, the team returned to the Bus, where Skye did research into Adam Cross. When Phil Coulson and Ward asked for what she found, Skye provided them with information showcasing how clean Cross was, leaving no possible suspects. The team discovered another victim and an infected man, and soon learned it was caused by a Chitauri Helmet from the Battle of New York.
However, it also turned out that Simmons was infected from the virus and that she only had two hours before she would be killed from it. As Simmons worked on finding a cure with Fitz, Skye and Ward watched from the briefing room, discussing how they were unable to do anything to help. After Fitz took the helmet and entered the lab with Simmons, the rest of the team went and watched them work together, only to not be seemingly unsuccessful, deeply upsetting Skye. However, the anti-serum did work, but Simmons threw herself off the Bus before knowing that, but she was saved by Ward. When Simmons was brought back on the Bus, Skye hugged her tightly.
==== Visiting the Hub ====
: "You just hacked a Level 8 secure server, saw operational plans that you have no context for. If details get out, the whole operation could be compromised, lives could be lost, Ward and Fitz among them.""I know. Those are two people we care about. On the plane, you're always telling me to think outside the box, so I went off book 'cause I was trying to watch their backs."
: ―Phil Coulson and Skye[src]
After Phil Coulson and Melinda May extracted Agent Shaw from Siberia, Skye wished to know what intelligence Shaw had obtained, only for Coulson to notify the team that it was classified to Level 8. While the rest of the team accepted it, Skye did not, believing that a team should not have secrets from one another. The rest of the team then informed her that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s entire hierarchy revolved around the compartmentalization of information, and that one person was not meant to know all of the information.
Skye joined the team in their visit to the Hub, although as a non-agent and a former opponent of S.H.I.E.L.D., she was not allowed access into any of the rooms. Skye then asked Coulson for permission to use one of the computers at the Hub so that she could access the redacted file regarding her parentage, although Coulson declined. Skye became worried when Grant Ward and Leo Fitz were sent on a classified mission to South Ossetia, and her concerns were amplified when she noticed several troops in formation.
Fearing that Ward and Fitz were in trouble, Skye decided to ask Coulson for information on the operation, only for Coulson to reply that she should trust the system. As she was not allowed to access any rooms, Skye convinced Jemma Simmons to aid her in hacking S.H.I.E.L.D.'s secure server, which resulted in Simmons attacking superior agent Jasper Sitwell. Gaining access to the server, Skye began looking at files on her past, but knowing that she had only a minute, decided to pull up the operation plans, discovering that there was no extraction plan in place for Ward or Fitz.
Skye was then discovered by Coulson, who reprimanded her for hacking S.H.I.E.L.D., reminding her that he had promised her he would look into her past himself. Skye explained that she had been looking into Ward and Fitz instead and notified Coulson of the lack of extraction, although Coulson told her that she should trust the system and learn to keep secrets. Skye then sought out May, who decided to take the Bus and extract Ward and Fitz herself, only for Coulson to join them.
After the extraction, Skye met up with Ward before returning to her quarters. Coulson then paid her a visit, informing her that he had found the original file. He explained that the file was not about her, but about a woman who dropped her off at Saint Agnes Orphanage, and that it was redacted because she was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, causing Skye to wonder if that had been her mother.
==== Encounters with Asgard ====
: "I can't think of a single time when anything alien in human hands ended well.""Wouldn't mind getting my human hands on Thor. He's so dreamy."
: ―Phil Coulson and Skye[src]
Later, Skye accompanied the team with the cleanup of the aftermath of the Battle of Greenwich, where she expressed her awe for the Asgardians' history, as well as her attraction to Thor. When a mysterious couple cut down a tree and attacked the park rangers, Skye and Melinda May located them from a news report about a riot they were in, and informed the rest of the team.
On the Bus, Skye, Grant Ward, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons discussed the couple and the mysterious object they possessed, which was Asgardian, called the Berserker Staff. They then began a search for the other pieces of the Berserker Staff, with Skye going through message boards for any hints. While searching in one location, Skye found Ward in pain and frantic, as he revealed that the other piece had been taken. They brought Ward back to the Bus, where Fitz and Simmons examined him, but after some questions, he became aggressive, insulting the team and then storming out.
When Phil Coulson interrogated Elliot Randolph, they learned that he was Asgardian, much to Skye's surprise and excitement. They then teamed up with Randolph to retrieve the final piece, but Jakob Nystrom and Petra Larsen attacked them. As Ward and Nystorm fought, Skye attempted to calm Ward down, as the effects of the staff grew stronger. Once he defeated the group, Skye supported Ward, who was exhausted, as May defeated Larsen with the completed staff. Later, in a bar, Skye offered Ward to talk to her if he ever needed to.
==== Hunting a Ghost ====
: "I know that he's punishing me. And I deserve it.""No. No, you don't. No one does. I had a few nuns around me growing up, and they would talk like that. Scaring kids with stories of God's wrath. It made me not want to believe. The only words that stuck with me were something Sister McKenna said, from the Bible, I think. She said, 'God is love.' It's simple and it's a little sappy, but that's the version I like."
: ―Hannah Hutchins and Skye[src]
Phil Coulson informed Skye about Hannah Hutchins, telling her that they were going to conduct an Index Asset Evaluation and Intake, believing she may be telekinetic. Coulson suggested Skye to pay attention during the meeting, as it would allow her to learn how to deal with those situations. Once they arrived at Hutchins' house, Skye watched from the car as Coulson talked to her, until Melinda May had to sedate her after an incident.
Skye watched as Coulson and May talked to Hutchins in the cell, feeling sorry for what she was going through. When Skye asked how May got the name the "Cavalry", Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons told her the an extreme story, unknown to Skye that they were pranking her. They then discussed how that particular day impacted May, as they continued to look into what could be the cause for the supposed telekinetic powers. After Coulson and May finished talking to Hutchins, Skye asked if she could talk to her to comfort her, discovering how good of a person she was, but they declined.
Skye then decided to vent to Grant Ward about May, where he revealed that Fitz and Simmons had pranked her about the story of the Cavalry, explaining what really happened. As Skye continued her research, she came across Tobias Ford, who had sent in multiple safety complaints to Hutchins. When the power was cut, the Bus crashed, which Simmons revealed was because of a ghost that was on board. Coulson allowed Skye to reveal the news to Hutchins, and the two talked about the situation together, as Skye comforted Hutchins about her faith.
When Skye went to help Coulson, he revealed to her the true story of the Cavalry and what the reality of it was, impacting Skye. As they discussed May, they were attacked again by the ghost, which was revealed to be Ford. After the discovered Fitz's next prank, Skye realized that Ford wasn't hunting Hutchins, but he was protecting her, as he was in love with her. May was able to convince Ford to stop with his pursuit, and they brought Hutchins back to the Bus. Skye and Coulson then talked about she was with understanding people, which he was impressed by. Later, while they were playing "Upwords", Fitz came out with cream on his face, causing them all to laugh.
==== Kidnapping of Phil Coulson ====
: "I know I'm not some badass field agent like May or Ward, but this is what I do. You can't kick me off this mission. Listen, I will do whatever you say. All this protocol crap doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is Coulson."
: ―Skye to Victoria Hand[src]
After Skye was looking into her possible history, the team received a message that Edison Po had been broken out of prison by Centipede Soldiers. As the team got closer to learning the secrets behind the Centipede program, Mike Peterson was hired as a new member of the team to assist them.
During the search for Po, Skye told Melinda May about a woman in a flower dress who met with Po, revealing someone called the Clairvoyant. Skye visited Peterson and talked about his son. After a failed mission, Skye went to speak to May, who questioned why she was with them team, causing her to get upset. When they learned that Raina kidnapped Ace in exchange they wanted Peterson, the team arrived at a meeting with her, but it turned out Centipede wanted Phil Coulson. They took Coulson prisoner and Peterson asked Skye to look after his son. Peterson ran to save Coulson but Centipede blew up the bridge, seemingly killing him.
After the team worked with Victoria Hand to capture T. Vanchat, she took charge on board the Bus for the search for Coulson. Skye attempted to pursue a lead by hacking into Vanchant's financial account to trace Centipede's payments, but it shut down all the computers due to the Tracking Bracelet, and she was discovered by Hand. Annoyed by her, Hand ordered for Skye to be removed off the Bus, which May backed up, claiming that she was of no use on the plane. Before Skye was sequestered by S.H.I.E.L.D., Grant Ward, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons helped her escape, giving her a satellite phone that she would be able to use once.
While on the run from S.H.I.E.L.D., Skye tried on her own to hack the financials but was met with similar success to her efforts on the Bus, so she attempted a different approach. After stealing Lloyd Rathman's car and breaking into his house, Skye impersonated May and forced Rathman to hack into Vanchat's account to find the transaction records. Once she acquired what she needed from Rathman, Skye discovered Centipede's Mojave Desert site and stole Rathman's other car to head there.
During the drive, Skye used the phone the team gave her to contact them and inform them of her findings, telling them to met her. Once Skye arrived at the site, she was found by a Centipede soldier, who chased her until she was saved by the rest of her team. As Ward dealt with the soldiers, the rest went to find where Coulson was being kept. Skye soon found Coulson hooked up to a machine in pain with Raina, so Skye knocked her out and they shut off the machine. Back on the Bus, Coulson thanked his team and also decided to remove Skye's bracelet.
==== The Truth Revealed ====
: "What I told her shattered her world. Her lifelong search led to stories of murder and now it's too difficult to continue. Her search is over. Her story ends here. But you know what she said?""Tell me.""She said, no. her story started here."
: ―Phil Coulson and Melinda May[src]
Soon after, when an incident occurred at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology, the team, minus Phil Coulson and Melinda, were called to visit, where Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons would speak to the cadets. Once they arrived, Grant Ward showed Skye to the Wall of Valor, of which she read about, and she expressed her wish to have been a part of S.H.I.E.L.D. differently than how she joined, but Ward assured her place on the team.
As Fitz and Simmons gave their speech to the cadets, Skye watched from the audience until Donnie Gill was suddenly frozen, and soon saved by the team. To proceed in their investigation, Simmons brought Skye and Ward to the Boiler Room, where cadets would go to hang out. As they drank at the bar, Skye went undercover to get information about potential suspects, until they figured out that Gill and the other victim, Seth Dormer were responsible for the incidents. The team regrouped with Coulson and May and went to stop Gill and Dormer, who had built a more powerful version of the Atmospheric Moisture Freezing Device for Ian Quinn.
On their way, Skye asked to speak with Coulson, seeing something was different about him after he left earlier. Coulson revealed that he and May talked to someone who knew about her origins, of how a S.H.I.E.L.D. team was massacred trying to protect her. Skye took in what Coulson had told her and was able to accept her history, explaining that she was grateful for S.H.I.E.L.D. protecting her and now considered them to be her family. The team were able to save Gill from the storm, who was later taken into custody, and Skye revisited the Wall of Valor.
==== The Mysterious Weapon ====
: "Uh, Coulson? Should I set some extra place settings for dinner? Looks like you made some friends.""Skye. We're coming in hot."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
After the mission at S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy of Science and Technology, the team was informed by John Garrett about a mysterious weapon in Jamaica. The team went to the town of Negril and found the weapon. After some skirmish with the guards they managed to get the weapon on board the Bus and fly off. Once they examined the weapon, Skye was able to hack the weapon's code and track its origin to the remote town of Limoux, France. Upon arriving in France, Leo Fitz was kidnapped, but turned on his tracker. The team touched down in Antarctica, saved Fitz, and detonated the weapon.
==== Shot by Ian Quinn ====
: "We can't let Quinn get away again. If Coulson were here, he wouldn't let that happen. He wouldn't want us to let that happen."
: ―Skye to Leo Fitz[src]
After the mission in France, the team found a lead to the whereabouts of the Clairvoyant through Ian Quinn. Tracking a mysterious package that Quinn acquired from Cybertek, the team went undercover and boarded the train transferring the package to Quinn's care. Skye went undercover with Leo Fitz as a couple, and as they discussed 0-8-4s, the team was jeopardized by Luca Russo, and Cybertek sent operatives to neutralize the team. In the ensuing chaos, the group was separated, and only Skye and Fitz were left to pursue Quinn.
The pair arrived at Quinn's compound, where Skye proceeded inside alone and was shocked to find Michael Peterson, still alive but horribly scarred. She attempted to get Peterson to escape with her, but unknown to her, Peterson was being controlled by the Clairvoyant through a Backscatter X-Ray Eye Implant, and the package was actually a high-tech prosthetic leg that was subsequently attached on Peterson's limb. Skye attempted to stop Quinn, but was shot twice in the gut. Close to death, she called for help, but was unable to call loud enough. Skye was eventually found by Phil Coulson and saved at the last minute by her team, who sustained her condition by placing her inside of a Hyperbaric Chamber.
Shortly after being shot, the team took her to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Trauma Zentrum in Switzerland, where despite the doctors' best efforts, her injuries were too severe and there was nothing more they could do other than keep her comfortable. Desperate, Coulson decided to take Skye to the location where he was brought back from the dead. After some research, the team located a secret facility known as the Guest House. With the help of John Garrett, the group retrieved GH.325, a drug that seemingly regenerates damaged cells. Right after the drug was administrated, Coulson arrived warning not to give Skye the drug. After initial shock and struggle, Skye managed to recover thanks to the effects of the drug.
==== Solving the Mystery ====
: "To hell with any protocols or any code I used to be bound by. We have a long list of questions that we need answers for, and we're going to go after them ourselves.""Well, if the team's up for it–""No, no, listen to me. I trust them, but we need to protect them from this."
: ―Phil Coulson and Skye[src]
During Skye's recovery under the constant care of Jemma Simmons, she was forced to stay in her bed at all times. S.H.I.E.L.D. were joined by Lady Sif to capture Lorelei, who had enthralled Grant Ward, so Skye was tasked with locating them. After Lorelei's defeat, Phil Coulson revealed to Skye the truth about GH.325, which didn't faze her. They two decided to work together to find the secrets behind it, without telling the rest of the team.
=== HYDRA Uprising ===
==== Becoming an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. ====
: "I don't have clearance.""Now you do. Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D., Skye."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
S.H.I.E.L.D. resumed their hunt for the Clairvoyant, and Skye was tasked with splitting the team into different groups and sending them to find and analyze potential suspects for the Clairvoyant's identity. In order for Skye to have the official authorization to do so, Skye was declared a Clearance Level 1 S.H.I.E.L.D. agent by Phil Coulson.
Skye gave out instructions to each team member individually, where she talked with John Garrett about their injuries and Grant Ward. As the others went off on their mission, Coulson asked Skye to find a weakness in the Clairvoyant. When the team traced the Clairvoyant to Thomas Nash, Skye watched as they searched for him, where they encountered Deathlok. Once they found Nash, Skye witnessed Ward murder him after he threatened Skye's life. Skye spoke with Ward on the Bus about his actions, which he said he did to protect her.
After talking with Ward, Skye went to visit Coulson, he expressed his worry that Ward may have killed the wrong man. Skye then realized that from her research she conducted, the Clairvoyant wasn't psychic but a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. When Skye found Leo Fitz, he revealed that Melinda May had a secret encrypted hardline, causing Skye to tell him to cut it, having recently discovered the truth about the Clairvoyant. Skye informed Coulson, and they cornered May, demanding answers from her. However, the Bus was suddenly hijacked by Victoria Hand.
Not trusting May, Skye and Coulson continued to question her, but she denied any knowledge of why the Bus was being hijacked or where they were going. However, May finally revealed that she was in contact with Nick Fury, and was reporting back to him. They then addressed what Fitz was doing, which he revealed he was communicating with Jemma Simmons about the GH.325 drug, which Skye and Coulson were hiding information about. Coulson then ordered Skye to try and get onto any form of S.H.I.E.L.D. communications to find out where they were going, but she only found noise on every channel.
==== HYDRA's Reveal ====
: "It was sent from a S.H.I.E.L.D. source. It's got to be some sort of activation signal to HYDRA members within S.H.I.E.L.D.."
: ―Skye[src]
When they heard John Garrett on a chance requesting support from drones that were attacking him, they were able to rescue him and bring him on board. Skye intercepted an encrypted message, which she began to decipher, as they discussed the situation, suspecting Victoria Hand to be the Clairvoyant.
Once Skye deciphered the message, it was revealed that HYDRA had infiltrated S.H.I.E.L.D. and were revealing themselves now. Skye, Phil Coulson, Leo Fitz and Garrett discussed HYDRA's return and Hand's actions, coming to them as a complete shock. When Garrett suggested they retreat and escape the threat, the team refused, and decided to head for the Hub, as Jemma Simmons was there, and in trouble, as well as Antoine Triplett.
==== Battle at the Hub ====
: "I needed to keep things compartmentalized.""Like with May? I'm not an idiot. We live on the same plane together, for God's sake.""Well, with her, I knew I could. With you... I didn't want to risk it.""I was offering to talk, Ward, not to have sex with you."
: ―Grant Ward and Skye[src]
Immediately as the Bus landed at the Hub, Victoria Hand ordered the plane to be fired upon, believing Coulson's Team to be sleeper agents for HYDRA. Skye encrypted a hard drive so that Hand couldn't access vital information that the team had collected over their various missions and then wiped everything else.
The team then used a Mouse Hole to escape from the Bus as agents raided it looking for them. As they went through the Hub, the team was split up, with Skye and Grant Ward heading to the Nerve Center to disable the systems. When Skye and Ward found themselves trapped, Ward decided to go out and take on the group of agents in the hallway. Before he went out, Ward asked Skye if there was a chance that they could have their talk if they survive, which she agreed to, and she kissed him before he left.
As Skye waited in the supply closet, Ward managed to defeat the twelve agents, and the two proceeded to the Nerve Center to blow up the systems. After they planted the explosives and set them off, Skye and Ward regrouped with their team as the HYDRA sleeper agents were being rounded up. They also discovered that Garrett was a part of HYDRA, and that he was actually the Clairvoyant, much to their shock. The team returned to the Bus, and reflected over what had happened, with S.H.I.E.L.D. now in pieces.
==== Finding Providence ====
: "This was big for me. Finally felt like I was part of something, and now... it's worthless."
: ―Skye to Phil Coulson[src]
In the aftermath of the HYDRA Uprising, Phil Coulson was left in charge of the Hub and Skye provided him with updates on the remaining S.H.I.E.L.D. facilities, of which there were few. As Skye continued to help out however she could, they were contacted by Colonel Glenn Talbot, who informed them that he would be sending people to the Hub. Knowing what would really happen, Coulson instructed his team to prepare to depart from the Hub immediately.
Once they took off, Coulson tasked Skye with uncovering everything there was on their team and erasing it, to hide them from persecution, as well as collecting everyone's badges. Coulson also gave Skye his phone to call Grant Ward to check how he went with delivering John Garrett, and she updated him on their situation. Skye then handed in all the badges to Coulson, including hers, and they talked about how they joined S.H.I.E.L.D.. Skye then noticed Coulson's badge flicker, which was revealed to be coordinates Coulson believed to be from Nick Fury.
The team searched the coordinates and speculated what they could be looking for, which some were hesitant about, but Coulson was determined to find out. Once they landed at the location, Coulson spoke to his team, telling them that joining him on the mission would have to be their choice, due to the consequences that could come if they fail in any way, however, they all followed him. As they were walking, Skye approached Melinda May and asked about what Fury had her doing for him, which was to watch over Coulson's condition, which she believed was stable until then, questioning if they would find something.
After arriving at the coordinates, Coulson revealed that they used all of the fuel getting there, much to the other's frustration. However, Coulson snapped, still having faith that Fury had sent him there to find something and holding onto hope that being an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. still meant something. When Coulson calmed down, he decided to throw his badge away, which caused a turret to appear and destroy it, causing everyone to take cover. After Coulson identified himself, it was then revealed to be a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base.
They all then entered, where they were greeted by Eric Koenig, who revealed that it was one of Fury's secret bases, which he called Providence. They then followed Koenig through the base, as he told them that they would be provided with a lanyard, as well as informing them that Fury was dead. When Koenig revealed that the Fridge had fallen, Skye immediately called Ward to check on him, and was glad when he answered. Skye then gave Ward their location, and she greeted him once he arrived, offering to get that drink with him that they promised each other.
As Jemma Simmons treated Grant Ward's injuries, the rest of the team listened to him tell them what happened at the Fridge, where he revealed he killed John Garrett. Ward then told them that he saved their hard drive, and Phil Coulson asked Skye to look up the inmates of the Fridge. As Skye scanned a list of inmates, Coulson asked about Marcus Daniels, who was on the list, so he planned to take a team to find Daniels as Skye searched for the other inmates.
However, before they could do anything, Eric Koenig required them all to partake in a lie detector test to assure their loyalty with S.H.I.E.L.D.. During Skye's turn, she told Koenig about how she chose the name Skye, having been called Mary Sue Poots at the orphanage, as well as answering his other questions. When Skye was asked why she was there despite S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fall, she answered that S.H.I.E.L.D. was the only home she had ever known, finishing her test, which she passed.
==== Grant Ward's Betrayal ====
: "All this time, everything we've been through. Why? How could you?""I was on a mission. It wasn't personal.""'It was...' You did not just say that. "It wasn't personal"?"
: ―Skye and Grant Ward[src]
As half the team went to Portland to capture Marcus Daniels, Skye and Eric Koenig discussed using NSA satellites to find the Fridge escapees, which he was against. When Grant Ward joined them, he supported Skye's idea, and asked about the hard drive, which she revealed had to be opened at a specific location. After Skye hacked into the satellites, she returned, where Ward told her that Melinda May had left, and they began to talk about their relationship with each other. When Ward opened up about himself, Skye comforted him and they kissed, but they stopped when she noticed blood on him.
While she waited for Ward, Skye noticed the monitor that was tracking all of them, and she decided to find Koenig. Being led to a closet, Skye was horrified to discover Koenig's dead body, which she realized Ward had killed him. Skye went to hide in a bathroom as she became distraught over realizing that Ward was HYDRA. Upon hearing Ward call out for her, she left a message, revealing Ward's betrayal, as she went to meet up with him, to not make him suspicious. Ward then told her that they needed to go, so they both boarded the Bus and left Providence, as Skye realized Ward needed her to decrypt the hard drive.
During the flight, Skye attempted to contact the team, but was unable to because Ward had taken the phone, as he continued to lie to her, only now she was aware of it. They then talked about the location Skye set for the encryption, which was Ruthie's Skillet in Los Angeles, as that's where her life started with S.H.I.E.L.D.. Knowing of Ward's true self, Skye attempted to keep herself protected, but Ward took the gun she was hiding, promising to not leave her side. Once they arrived at the restaurant, to stall for time, Skye told Ward that decrypting the hard drive would take an hour.
As they sat in a booth, Skye pretended that she was decrypting the hard drive, but in reality was hacking into the Los Angeles Police Department's database and listed Ward as a terrorist fugitive, and tipping them off of his location to save herself. However, as she did so, Ward watched her, causing her to get nervous, so she lied, saying it was because of how things could go bad, like Mike Peterson, who she met in the same booth, was a good man and now a killer, just like they were FBI's most wanted.
As officers started to appear, Ward became more impatient with Skye, who was still stalling, so to distract him, she asked about the longest he's been undercover, secretly meaning him being HYDRA. Skye then started talking about John Garrett, as well as continuing to secretly mean Ward's betrayal, being disgusted by someone who would hurt those who trusted him. When Ward noticed the officers clearing the restaurant, he thought they had been made, but Skye revealed what she had done and that she knew he was HYDRA.
Two officers then came to arrest Skye and Ward, however, Ward attacked them, so Skye grabbed her stuff and fled. Coming across more officers, Skye attempted to get herself arrested so she could be safe from Ward, but he followed her and shot the officers. Skye then stole a police car and attempted to drive away, but she spotted Deathlok on the road in front of her. Deathlok leapt onto the car and apprehended Skye, knocking her out and taking her back to the Bus with Ward.
When Skye came to, Deathlok left Ward alone with her, and she began to attack him for his betrayal. After being handcuffed, Skye confronted Ward on his betrayal, asking why he did it. Ward claimed he was on a mission, although he admitted his feelings for her were real. Ward attempted to defend his actions, but Skye was completely disgusted with him and vowed to never give him what he wanted from her. When Deathlok joined them, Skye attempted to convince him to do the right thing, but he was unable to, as HYDRA had kidnapped his son.
Deathlok then demanded Skye unlock the hard drive for them, but she refused, knowing that he was not going to hurt her. Deathlok shot Ward with a Heart Stopper, causing him to have a heart attack to force Skye to unlock the hard drive or Ward would die. Despite wanting Ward to suffer for what he had done, Skye was unable to let him die. She revealed that the hard drive was controlled by altitude and Deathlok resuscitated Ward. Deathlok then forced Skye to decrypt the hard drive as they prepared to take off. Skye unlocked the hard drive for them and then was put into the containment cell.
Fortunately, she was rescued by Phil Coulson, but when he found out that Deathlok was on board, they ran to the cargo hold. Skye started to put on a parachute, but Coulson told her she didn't need it. After escaping from Ward and Deathlok, they jumped in L.O.L.A. and backed out of the cargo hold. As the car plummeted, Skye fell out from the car, but was pulled back in by Coulson. As they sped to the surface, Coulson was able to activate the car's flying capabilities before they hit the ground, landing in front of L.A. Live.
Skye and Coulson regrouped with the rest of the team at a hotel to recover from everything that had happened to them. Skye spoke with Antoine Triplett, who said he'd go back to work whenever Coulson ordered him to. However, Coulson allowed them all to take the night off from their problems. Skye and Coulson then talked about the loss of all of their resources and being homeless now, as well as promising each other that they would take down Ward and stop HYDRA's plans.
==== Going After Cybertek ====
: "We still have this little puppy. If there's a computer system in that barbershop, we don't have to chase them anymore. We just plug it in, we wake up the Trojan horse, and we're off to the races."
: ―Skye[src]
The next morning, Skye, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons discussed Deathlok and the search for John Garrett. Phil Coulson then recapped everything they had gone through: Centipede Serum, Ian Quinn, the Clairvoyant, GH.325 and how it was all connected to Cybertek. The team then discussed a way to destroy everything the was on hard drive, by infiltrating the Cybertek Corporate Headquarters.
Before they left, Skye and Coulson talked to Fitz, who was still unsure whether Grant Ward was truly evil, despite the other's views. Antoine Triplett returned, having collected his grandfather's Howling Commando Gear to arm them for their upcoming missions to stop HYDRA. While Coulson and Melinda May went undercover, Skye searched for Cybertek's mainframe, until she came across the location of the files on Project Deathlok, which Coulson and May managed to steal.
The team returned to the hotel and looked through the files, where Skye realized that everything Garrett had done was to heal himself and he could also create an army of enhanced soldiers for HYDRA. After Skye felt she was weak for not letting Ward die, she retreated to her room, where May checked on her. The two talked about how they felt about Ward, with Skye commenting on May's ability to control her emotions, leading to May offering to become Skye's new S.O..
The team tracked Cybertek shipments to Havana, Cuba, so they all headed there, where Skye, Coulson, May and Triplett arrived at the Barbershop Headquarters. After discovering it to be empty, Skye suggested to activate her Trojan horse from there. The team entered the headquarters and Skye started searching for a computer, until Triplett came across a secret door.
They opened it and found a computer, but they were suddenly surrounded by Centipede Soldiers and Kaminsky, who was wielding the Berserker Staff. When the soldiers attacked, Coulson, May and Triplett fought back, as Skye rushed to the computer and activated her Trojan horse. Skye was successfully able to do so, as May used the Berserker Staff to bring the room down on itself, so the team escaped, trapping the soldiers under the rubble.
==== Battle at Cybertek ====
: "I feel sorry for you, betraying the only people who gave you a chance at being a decent human being. Fitz was a hero because he still wanted to give you that chance after everything. But some people are just born evil, I guess."
: ―Skye to Grant Ward[src]
The team returned to the Jump Jet, where Skye revealed that her Trojan horse worked and they could see what John Garrett was doing. Phil Coulson then informed the team that they were tracking the Bus, although he couldn't get onto Leo Fitz or Jemma Simmons, so they decided to go after Garrett.
As they flew to the Cybertek Manufacturing Facility, Coulson went through the plan so everyone knew their role. When they addressed the risk they were taking due to it just being the four of them, Coulson repeated what Nick Fury would say, about people accomplishing anything when being a part of something bigger, inspiring the team. After arriving, Coulson and Antoine Triplett made an entrance for Skye and Melinda May to enter the facility. The two made their way through the facility until they found the Centipede Soldiers' handlers' control room, threatening that she had a bomb.
Believing to be prepared for any situation that would occur, Kyle Zeller set the soldiers to their default directive, which May and Skye were counting on him doing, which was for them to defend Garrett. Skye then called Garrett, and the two taunted each other, with the call ending after Garrett mentioned that Fitz and Simmons were dead, angering Skye. As Zeller was tied up to the bomb, Skye questioned him about the incentives program, that HYDRA was using to ensure cooperation.
Suddenly, Grant Ward arrived, assuring Zeller that Skye won't kill him, as she couldn't even let him die, despite her hatred. However, Skye stated that she felt sorry for Ward, as he betrayed those who gave him a chance to be better, and that she saw him as weak. After Ward stated that Skye wouldn't set off the bomb, she agreed, revealing a different weapon that would destroy him, which was May, who surprise attacked Ward and the two began to fight each other as Skye left with Zeller. The two made their way to where Zeller's wife was being held hostage, and Skye freed her.
Skye then checked the other rooms, where she found Ace Peterson, who was also being held hostage to assure Deathlok's cooperation. Skye then pulled out a Hulk action figure from the bag, revealing there was no bomb, and she asked Ace if there was a message she could give to his father that only he would know was from him. Skye then sent Deathlok the message, and he killed Garrett. Skye met up with Deathlok, who refused to let his son see him, as well as declining joining their team.
=== Agent Skye ===
==== The New Beginning ====
: "Sir, I need to get back out there and help May take him down.""No.""She's my S.O. I'm a field agent now and I can handle myself."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
The team then arrived at the Playground and reunited with Jemma Simmons, who told them that Leo Fitz was alive. They then were greeted by Billy Koenig, Eric's twin brother, who offered everything the base had to get them started on rebuilding S.H.I.E.L.D.. Skye was given the assignment of translating the Words of Creation written by John Garrett on the Bus. She used many avenues, including her contacts with Rising Tide, but after a month, she was not able to find any information. Over the next few months, Skye would be trained by Melinda May, her new S.O., making her a more competent field agent, who would go on many missions with the rest of the team. Soon after, Simmons left the team, apparently going to her parents house.
Phil Coulson tasked Skye, May and Antoine Triplett to provide back-up for Isabelle Hartley, Lance Hunter and Idaho, who were attempting to buy information from a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Skye got into position, informing May that the package was in the open, but May told her not to engage until the deal was done. When a man appeared an attacked them, Skye, May and Triplett revealed themselves to help, but he got away with the information. They all then returned to the Playground.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents argued with the mercenaries about the failed mission, as they met up with Koenig. Skye and Koenig talked about the new bulletproof enemy, and she went to give Fitz a metal shard she found at the scene to examine. As Skye continued to examining the Words of Creation, Triplett joined her, continuing to express his suspicions about the Koenig brothers. They then talked about Skye's search, but she had come up with nothing. Coulson then joined them and spoke to Skye alone, informing her that the bulletproof assassin was Carl Creel.
Skye realized that Coulson wanted her to talk to Grant Ward, their prisoner, to find out more, so she headed down, and Koenig told her about the safety measures in place. When she went to see him, Ward expressed how he was willing to provide intel, and Skye asked him about Creel. Ward told Skye about how he used to hurt himself while locked up, but now accepted what he had done. Skye got him back onto Creel, who Ward revealed could turn his body into any substance he touches, as well as how to find him. Before Skye left, Ward expressed how he would always tell her the truth.
Skye joined Coulson, May and Koenig, where she found that Ward was telling the truth, leading to her realizing that there would be more visits to him in the future. When the discovered Creel was going to attack Glenn Talbot, the team headed out to rescue him. As May fought Creel, Skye used a Taser Projectile Launcher to immobilize him, and then made her escape as the military arrived. After kidnapping Talbot, Skye watched as Coulson spoke with him, until they let him go, leading them to a Government Storage Warehouse.
Before they left, the agents discussed them going into a military facility to obtain the Obelisk, which some were doubtful of, but Coulson told them this mission was make or break for them. After did a Skye hack to get them into the facility, the team entered the warehouse and began to search for the Obelisk. After Harlety found the Obelisk, she was attacked by Creel, but when she touched the alien artifact, it began to hurt her, so they went to back her up, and Skye noticed the Obelisk had the same markings as the Words of Creation.
Because the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were ordered by Coulson to steal a Quinjet, they decided to proceed with the mission, but Hunter and Idaho left to get Hartley medical attention. Skye, May and Triplett were then surrounded by soldiers, so they ran away until they came across where the Quinjets were being kept. Skye and Triplett occupied one of them and flew away, using the cloaking technology and returned to the Playground, while May departed on a motorcycle.
Once they landed, Skye and Triplett discussed not being able to contact Hartley or Hunter, which worried her, but Triplett remained hopeful. Coulson congratulated them for stealing the Quinjet, but didn't divulge the status of the mercenaries. Skye followed Coulson, informing him that the Obelisk had the same symbols as the Words of Creation. but she was confused by his lack of reaction. However, Coulson revealed that he was more concerned about Hunter, who had been captured, and could compromise them.
Skye joined Triplett as Alphonso Mackenzie inspected the cloaking technology, which she noted that Fitz would be crushed if he knew they had it before he could create it. However, Fitz discovered them, but when he tried to speak, he struggled due to his brain damage, making Skye feel bad for him and not know how to deal with it. Skye returned to Coulson, reporting for field duty, where she learnt of Hartley and Idaho's deaths, and Coulson tasked her with packing up Harltey's possessions.
As Skye packed up Harltey's room, she was joined by Hunter, who returned, and he talked about Hartley and her family. Hunter offered Skye to be a mercenary with him, but she declined, stating that S.H.I.E.L.D. was her life, which he felt otherwise about. While searching for Creel, Skye found a call coming from a HYDRA channel, which they suspected was Creel, whose physique and ability to turn his body into any material intrigued Skye, sexually. The answered the call, which turned out to be Raina, who gave them a way to track Creel.
They then discussed how they would defeat Creel, not being able to disable his powers, but Coulson had formulated a plan. A team of Skye, May, Triplett and Hunter headed to Creel's location, where they waited as Triplett got into position. However, after Skye starting scanning the man that was meeting with Creel, Hunter used an I.C.E.R. to knock her and May out, so he could go after Creel himself. After Coulson defeated Creel, they returned to the Playground, where Skye and May discussed Fitz's condition and Coulson being closed off, to Skye's concern.
The team sent a video to Simmons, wishing her a happy birthday. Skye continued her training with May, practicing her shooting, where May told her it was important to maintain control in intense situations. They were about to train with a sniper rifle, when Hunter and Mackenzie interrupted them, asking Skye is she went to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, as they had a bet, which she confirmed she didn't. Skye told Hunter her early days with S.H.I.E.L.D., and he asked if she had ever killed anyone, which she told him she hadn't. Skye then resumed training, with May noting that experience didn't make it easier to kill someone.
Once again, Skye was tasked with talking to Ward, getting information about HYDRA's recruitment policies towards gifted individuals, which involved executing if resistance occurs, as well as discussing Ward's betrayal. The team soon learned of Donnie Gill's location in Casablanca, Morocco, and Skye informed them of HYDRA's policy, leaving out that Ward told her, as Fitz was present. As they headed to Morocco in the Bus, Hunter prepared Skye for jumping out of the plane, which she recounted her time falling out of the sky in L.O.L.A..
Skye, May and Hunter proceeded to jump out of the Bus and board the Maribel del Mar, where HYDRA had already arrived, so Skye went to protect the exits. Taking a sniper position, Skye noticed Gill, who had been brainwashed by HYDRA, begin to freeze the entire ship, so she decided to stop him by shooting him, causing Gill to fall into the ocean. When Skye spotted Simmons, she realized she was working undercover with HYDRA, so to preserve her cover, Skye fired a shot at Bakshi, so Simmons could push him out of the way.
After stopping HYDRA from getting Gill, Skye noticed several containers of HYDRA technology, so she informed Coulson, and S.H.I.E.L.D. obtained them off the ship. Skye returned to the Bus, where May checked on her, as they talked about Simmons secret undercover mission. Skye went back to Vault D to ask Ward if he had been brainwashed into working for HYDRA, but he told her he wasn't. Skye believed Ward was telling the truth on everything, although she didn't know why, as Ward then revealed that her father was alive and that if she let him, he could take her to him.
==== Bonding with Others ====
: "Hey, at least you got away from your ex. The guy I had a crush on is now the psycho living in our basement."
: ―Skye to Lance Hunter[src]
On South Beach, Florida, Skye and Lance Hunter stole a USB from Bridget so that she could get Phil Coulson and Melinda May into a gala for the rebuilding of Santa Maria de las Flores, a church that housed a 500 year old painting with the Words of Creation inscribed on its back.
As Coulson and May worked on the mission, the rest of the team would help guide them to the painting, but they discovered that it had already been taken. As the rest of the team waited in the Bus, they talked about their past romances, with Skye noting how the person she had a crush on, Grant Ward, was now locked up in their basement. While they discussed, Skye was also looking into Coulson and May's mission, trying to figure out what they were keeping from them.
While continuing with her research, the Bus suddenly shut down, which Leo Fitz noted would lead to it exploding soon due to a device that sabotaged it. As they looked over the damages, they realized that the wings would be next, which was where the fuel was stored, meaning they had to hurry with fixing the plane. As Skye, Antoine Triplett and Alphonso Mackenzie worked on repairing the systems that have already been destroyed to slow the virus, Fitz and Hunter managed to fix the Bus, stopping it from exploding.
==== Getting Answers to Her Questions ====
: "I believe Garrett and I had a negative reaction to the alien DNA in our system. Maybe you didn't because it was already there.""Yeah, right, like I'm an alien. ...Hold on, are you saying that I am an alien?"
: ―Phil Coulson and Skye[src]
After S.H.I.E.L.D. discovered that HYDRA killed a group of people with similar effects of the Obelisk, they assumed it was in HYDRA's possession. They approached Phil Coulson for instructions, where Skye noticed carvings of the Words of Creation on his desk, but he brushed off her questioning. When wanting to know more about the symbols, Skye was shut down by Coulson, he refused to provide her with answers.
Despite accepting Coulson's orders, Skye stole the painting and looked at the symbols on it, as she was joined by Lance Hunter, who she expressed wanting to know more about what they meant. Hunter mentioned how her dispute with Coulson was similar to him and his ex-wife, which led him to suggestion that she personally find out Coulson's secrets, by going to Grant Ward for answers. When Skye met with Ward, he brought up her father again, revealing that Raina was his source, making Skye doubtful.
Skye then changed the subject to the symbols, asking Ward what he knew about them, which he revealed that his first saw them on their mission in Belarus, and again when John Garrett started carving them. Ward noted this that happened after Garrett was infused with GH.325, making him worry if the new carvings were Skye's, which she said they weren't. As Ward talked more about Garrett's carvings, Skye realized that Coulson was going through the same thing, and then became worried for him.
Upon this realization, Skye rushed into Coulson's office, confronting him on his secret and expressing her concern for him. Coulson assured Skye that his was fine, and explained how long he had been doing the carvings, which was caused by the GH.325 drug. However, Skye brought up how she wasn't having the same side effect, which led to Coulson revealing how he was monitoring her, and seeing if she would react to the symbols. From seeing that Skye was fine, Coulson concluded that it was possibly because she already had alien DNA in her, which freaked her out.
When Raina called to met with Coulson, he agreed, and he waited for her at La Comtesse Furieuse, as Skye and Melinda May took position in the kitchen, with Hunter at a table. Once Raina arrived, the three listened on as she and Coulson talked about the Obelisk, as well as Raina threatening to expose Jemma Simmons' cover in HYDRA unless he let Skye leave with her. Raina revealed that she planned to bring Skye to her father so she could find out about herself, but Coulson refused to take the deal. Fearing Simmons' life was in danger, Skye went to give herself up, but May restrained her.
After Coulson had Raina leave, now being tracked by them, Skye snuck away so she could find her father. When Skye entered his hideout, she searched for her father, but found the pace entirely empty, except for a photo of him with her as a baby. She was then found by Coulson, and she hugged him, having been through a lot that day, as Hunter joined them, confirming that her father was gone. When May discovered two dead bodies, Skye knew it was her father, and declared him a monster.
Once they returned to the Playground, Skye addressed that she understood that Coulson was going to go after her father, as he was dangerous and possessed the Obelisk, and accepted it. Skye expressed how she had spent her whole life wondering who her father was, but after what she saw, she no longer cared and only wanted to stop him. However, Skye demanded for Coulson to no longer keep secrets from her, so they could work together to learn what the Words of Creation really are. Coulson agreed and showed her his carvings, which led Skye to believe that it was a map.
==== Grant Ward's Transfer ====
: "Thank you for telling me everything you know. It's time we get you out of here.""Really?""Really. You're being transferred, Ward. Your brother wants you in his custody, and we're gonna give him exactly what he wants."
: ―Skye and Grant Ward[src]
Skye was joined by Jemma Simmons as they watched and discussed Grant Ward, as well as Simmons' recent undercover mission, until Melinda May informed them of an attack on the United Nations. The reports claimed that S.H.I.E.L.D. was behind the attacks, but Phil Coulson suspected it was HYDRA getting revenge.
Skye and Coulson watched Christian Ward attack S.H.I.E.L.D. on the news, announcing he intended to create a task force to target anyone associated with them. Coulson showed Skye the size of S.H.I.E.L.D. after months rebuilding, noting that he can't let it be destroyed, so Skye decided to talk to Grant Ward for information on his brother. Skye went down to Vault D and asked Ward to give information pertaining to his brother, but this scared Ward, not wanting his brother to know his location. The conversation moved to Skye's father, but Coulson ended it, wanting Skye to stay focused.
Skye later returned to Ward in his cell, who continued to tell her how bad his brother was, desperately wanting her to believe him. Because of Ward's promise to always tell the truth, Skye asked for everything he knew of her father, so he revealed how it was HYDRA agents who attacked the village and killed her mother. Ward then promised Skye that he could help her find her father if she let him out, and Skye then revealed that Ward was actually being transferred to his brother's custody, having got everything she needed form him. Later, while Ward was being escorted, he walked by Skye and called out to her, but she did not respond.
==== Solving the Mystery ====
: "It's all connected, everything. Ward has information about my father, who just happens to have the alien buzz kill device, which is connected to the writing, which is related to the GH serum that is in our blood. Like we're pieces to a puzzle."
: ―Skye to Phil Coulson[src]
Unable to sleep, Skye caught Phil Coulson carvings the Words of Creation, and confided in him about bring troubled by how everything they were dealing with, her father, the Obelisk, the symbols and the GH.325 drug, was connected. They discussed how they couldn't find answers for the symbols' meaning, which Coulson confided in her that he couldn't function due to the frequently carving the symbols.
One of Skye's Rising Tide contacts, Micro, sent her pictures of the murder victim Janice Robbins with the symbols carved into her. Skye showed them to Coulson, and they went to investigate her apartment, after Coulson realized Robbins was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. After searching the apartment, they found several paintings that had the same symbols on them, signed "A Magical Place." They returned to the Playground and inspected the symbols, as well as Skye discovering that Robbins had apparently died of cancer, so Alphonso Mackenzie and Leo Fitz stole the body so an autopsy could be done.
Once Jemma Simmons finished the autopsy, she informed Skye and Coulson of Robbins' death, as well as discovering that she and her killer had GH.325 in their blood, making her worried, as Skye and Coulson also had it in their blood, and others went insane from it. Coulson told Simmons they were fine, and focused on finding the Project T.A.H.I.T.I. patient who was killing other patients. In order to uncover the patients, Coulson decided to use the Theta Brain-Wave Frequency Machine on himself, and Skye asked Mackenzie to hold Coulson down if he became unstable, and they then commenced.
As Coulson relived his erased memories, he told Skye what was happening and she took note of everything. As he dug deeper into his memories, Skye was given the new names of the patients, discovering that most of them were also killed by the same patient, but when Coulson became unstable, Sky ordered Simmons to shut down the machine. Skye contacted Melinda May to inform her what happened, and she was ordered to lock Coulson up. As Skye escorted Coulson to the Vault D cell, he informed her that the killer was Sebastian Derik, but after Skye revealed the identity of the remaining patient, Coulson locked her in the cell and left.
Skye was eventually freed by Simmons, and she informed the rest of the team that Coulson was going after the last patient that hadn't been killed. Skye and Mackenzie rushed to intercept Coulson, and as they drove, Skye filled Mackenzie in on what was happening, explaining Project T.A.H.I.T.I. to him. They then came across the Thompson family on the road, and they were informed of Coulson and Derik fighting at their house, so they headed their to stop them. Once they arrived, Skye and Mackenzie found Coulson fighting Derik, so they aimed their guns at him, but Coulson tried to explain that he wasn't killing Derik.
When Mackenzie threatened to kill Coulson, he let go of Derik, who Coulson revealed was no longer a threat, as they both had found the answers they needed. Skye then looked at the tracks that Coulson referring to, which he explained that the symbols weren't a map, but a blueprint to a city. They all returned to the Playground, where Skye witnessed Thompson decline Coulson's offer to rejoin S.H.I.E.L.D.. Once he left, Coulson told Skye and May about how his compulsion to carve the symbols was gone for good, as he now knew what they meant.
When Skye asked about Grant Ward's status, Coulson had nothing, but asked Skye to hack into Sunil Bakshi's phone to see if she could find anything. Coulson then called the senior agents together to explain what had been happening with him, and that he was better now, having put all the pieces together. However, he noted that HYDRA was also trying to do the same thing, but S.H.I.E.L.D. was at an advantage, having the answers to the Words of Creation, so they set out to find the city. As Skye hacked into Bakshi's phone, she was called by Ward, who promised that they will see each other again.
==== Search for the Kree City ====
: "Standing by with Geek Squad. Paddington and Timelord are closing in. EMP ready in 40 seconds.""Copy that.""Kaena Point is down. Six minutes on the clock."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
Skye, Leo Fitz, and Antoine Triplett accompanied Phil Coulson to Oahu, Hawaii to search for the city. During the flight, Skye discussed with Coulson the mission, with him noting what made Nick Fury a good director, in seeing ahead of his enemies, making him want to get to the city first.
As Skye and Triplett armed themselves, Coulson told them to ditch the guns, and instead handed Skye a watch with instructions to get it inscribed, warning her that it might leak. Skye and Triplett were able to complete their tasks, and when they returned to the Bus they talked to Fitz, who was struggling with his task. Their next stop was in Laura Creek, Australia, where Coulson revealed the purpose of he strange orders back in Hawaii, to cause an EMP in the Kaena Point Air Force Base.
Once the EMP would blackout the base, the satellite relaying station would activate, which was easier to infiltrate. With everything in motion, the team went to infiltrate the station, with Skye staying on the Bus to hack the satellite feeds to find the city. Once the Kaena base fell, Skye notified the team, but their connection was disrupted. After Skye was gained access, she began the search, and Coulson and Fitz returned with an wounded Triplett. Before they could tell her what happened, the city was found. On the trip back to the Playground, Skye had a nightmare; afterwards she had an uneasy feeling about what would happen upon entering the city.
==== Protecting Raina ====
: "I thought Whitehall wanted to kill you, not kidnap you.""Something must've changed his mind.""Maybe he thinks you know something about the Obelisk."
: ―Skye and Raina[src]
When Skye joined Jemma Simmons and Antoine Triplett, who were discussing her father, Skye commented on how the whole situation was messed up and worried that something bad was going to happen. Phil Coulson gathered the agents in the Bus, and they discussed HYDRA possessing the Obelisk. Skye noted how the city they were searching for was the key to unlocking the Obelisk, and proceeded to show where it was located, with Coulson giving the orders to destroy the city.
After Skye and Melinda May discussed Grant Ward killing his family, Coulson told them they would be extracting and protecting Raina, who was being hunted by HYDRA. As a team went to find the city, Skye hugged Coulson goodbye before he left, staying with the other team of May, Triplett and Hunter. Arriving in Vancouver, Skye suited up and retrieved Raina and Billy Koenig from their safe house. But, just as they left, Agent 33 appeared, so Skye fought her while the others got to safety.
Skye was able to hold her own against Agent 33 for some time, but was soon held at gunpoint, only to be saved by Hunter, and they went to regroup with Raina. When Hunter left to find May, Skye stayed with Raina, as she watched the HYDRA agents near them. As they waited, the two discussed what Daniel Whitehall wanted with Raina, which after Skye revealed he had the Obelisk, Raina revealed that they wanted her because she could touch it. As Raina explained the Diviner, she revealed to Skye that her father said she could also touch it.
After stating this, Raina ran away, alerting the HYDRA agents of her presence, so Skye chased after her. However, May slammed a van into the two HYDRA agents, and they all drove away, returning to the Bus. Skye sat with Raina, who told her about her father, but Skye didn't care, viewing him as a monster. However, Skye did ask how Raina met her father, so she told her how he picked them up in Thailand. Skye enquired Raina about being aliens, but Raina informed her that the Diviner had the potential to unlock more in them, telling her about the stories of the Kree and those worthy to enter the temple.
Learning that those who weren't worthy to enter the temple would be killed, Skye immediately went to warn Coulson's team to not enter the city. Unfortunately, she was not able to contact Coulson, as their communications were blocked by HYDRA, who had located the Bus through Raina's Tracker. They were contacted by Whitehall that the HYDRA Quinjets would shoot them out of the sky if they did not hand over Raina. As one of the Quinjets docked on the Bus, the team surrounded the stairs, aiming their guns at whoever appeared.
They were all shocked to see Ward, who revealed he was the one to locate them. Seeing that Ward was working with HYDRA again after giving S.H.I.E.L.D. Sunil Bakshi, Skye told him to pick a side; he assured her that he had. As Raina went to leave with him, Ward revealed that he wanted to Skye to come with him, too, having made her a promise. Knowing that HYDRA would kill them all, Skye agreed to go with Ward, assuring May she could look after herself. Before they left, Raina made Skye bring the tablet with the map of the city, and she departed with HYDRA.
=== Becoming Inhuman ===
==== Meeting Her Father ====
: "I'm here now, and everything that's about to happen is supposed to happen. I'm gonna take care of you.""Then, get me out of here.""What? maybe I haven't been clear. You're exactly where you're supposed to be."
: ―Calvin Zabo and Skye[src]
Once Skye was brought to HYDRA's temporary hideout, an abandoned theater in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Skye used her training from Melinda May to consider possible escapes. Grant Ward explained to Skye that taking her was not an order from HYDRA, but him keeping his promise to her.
Ward then opened the door, bringing Skye to her father, Calvin Zabo, and then left to let them talk with each other. As Skye remained speechless, due to being overwhelmed but also defensive, Zabo nervously introduced himself to her, explaining he'd been waiting a long time to meet her. After Zabo explained his wish for them to have met in a different setting, and not near HYDRA's presence, Skye commented on her father being a murderer, which Zabo accepted, but blamed her being taken from him was what caused him to become who he was now.
After calming down, Zabo revealed to Skye that she was born in China, and proceeded to talk about their life as a family, until he got to what he wanted to say, which was that he was sorry he wasn't able to protect and raise her. Although hesitant to connect with Zabo, Skye found herself being overwhelmed with emotions from listen to what he had to say. When Zabo said he would protect her from now on, Skye asked him to get her away from HYDRA, but he revealed that she was where she was meant to be, saying it was her destiny.
Immediately upon hearing this, Skye rejected what Zabo was saying, not wanting to be a captive of HYDRA with him. Zabo stopped her from leaving, explaining they wouldn't matter soon, but Skye responded that seeing how he was working for Daniel Whitehall, he was also a bad guy. However, Zabo desperately explained that he wasn't working for Whitehall, but that he needed him to help find Skye. Zabo proceeded to tell Skye about her mother, revealing that they both possessed a gift, and that's why she was there, to unlock it.
Skye cut him off and asked what happened to her mother, so Zabo sadly explained how a group of HYDRA agents captured her because of her gift and by the time he found her, Whitehall had gruesomely killed her. Skye became emotional from hearing the story, so Zabo began to hum a song, which she recognised as it was the song her mother sang to her. Skye asked what happened to her when she was taken, but a HYDRA agent interrupted, informing Zabo he was needed, so he held off from answering, revealing that because Whitehall served his purpose, he was going to kill him, leaving Skye, as she cried from being overwhelmed with emotions.
==== Undergoing Terrigenesis ====
: "You survived the destruction because... you caused it.""No. No, no, no.""Raina wasn't the only one changed in there. And I'm pretty sure the DNA results we're running right now are gonna confirm it."
: ―Leo Fitz and Skye[src]
When Daniel Whitehall learned of Skye's presence, he had her brought to him as he met with Calvin Zabo, Grant Ward and Raina, revealing he suspected Skye could touch the Diviner.
After a look of assurance from her father, Skye confidently grabbed the Diviner, which glowed, showing symbols. Skye then used the Diviner to kill a HYDRA agent, and so did Zabo, but they were quickly held at gunpoint. The two, along with Ward were detained, with Whitehall telling Skye she won't get to fulfil her destiny. Skye and Ward were tied up, and once Zabo awoke, they were joined by Whitehall. Whitehall revealed to Skye what her mother's gift was: the ability to not age physically, and he revealed his intention to experiment on her as well.
When the HYDRA agents left to check on who was attacking the building, Zabo was able to kill the remaining guard, and left Skye tied up as he went to kill Whitehall. Ward was able to free himself, and after he freed Skye, she quickly grabbed the dead guard's gun and shot Ward without hesitation, and ran away. Skye soon came across Zabo, who was about to kill Phil Coulson, so she aimed her gun at him, begging him to stop, which he did after she called him dad.
Skye then stated that she was not going to go through with his plan for her and told him to leave. Zabo accepted his daughter's request, however, he told Skye that after her transformation, he would still be there for her, stating that no one else would understand, and he revealed her birth name, Daisy. After Zabo left, Skye checked on the badly beaten Coulson, telling him that she couldn't kill her father, as bad as she wanted to. Skye then said she was going to stop the Diviner from reaching the Kree City, and headed off, despite Coulson trying to tell her to stay.
Upon arriving at the Plasma Drill, Skye discovered that the Diviner was missing, leading her to realize that Raina had taken it and gone into the city. As Skye made her way through the city, she came across Alphonso Mackenzie, who was unresponsive, due to being enthralled by the city. Skye attempted to get Mackenzie to leave, but he wouldn't move, so she decided to continue and come back for him afterwards. Skye then found Raina, but the Diviner began to activate the temple, which closed them in.
At that moment, Antoine Triplett appeared and joined them, and they all watched as the Diviner opened, revealing crystals, which unleashed a mist. Suddenly, Skye and Raina were encased in cocoons, which soon began to break off them. Skye then saw Triplett had been turned to stone, but before she could react, she burst out of the cocoon completely. Then, the entire temple began to shake, which was actually caused by her from her new powers, and it caused what was left of Triplett to break apart.
==== Under Quarantine ====
: "Everything's my fault. You're right. There's something very wrong with me.""No, you're just different now. You're just different now, and there's nothing wrong with that."
: ―Skye and Leo Fitz[src]
After being recovered from the temple, Skye was put under quarantine for precautionary reasons. Not being able to sleep over the loss of Antoine Triplett, Skye talked about it with Phil Coulson, who comforted her over his sacrifice saving everyone. The two talked about dealing with loss, and Skye expressed that they failed their mission, blaming herself for it, much to Coulson's disagreement.
Skye was then visited by Bobbi Morse, who provided her with a bag full of supplies to make being in quarantine more bearable, and revealed her admiration for what Skye had gone through recently, only to come out of it all unscathed. Later one, the senior agents gathered outside of Skye's quarantine room to discuss what they were going to do with Sunil Bakshi, and their next move against HYDRA. Skye silently watched on as the others argued with each other, which caused her heartbeat to rise from her nervousness, and the room began to shake, as a result. But, no one else noticed the tremors, except Skye, who managed to stop them.
When Jemma Simmons returned to the Playground, she informed Skye about Raina, showing her her altered DNA. Horrified by this change, Simmons expressed her fear that something may have happened to Skye, too. Skye was then shocked to listen to Simmons as she harshly commented on those with powers, referring to them as a plague. This all made Skye worried, as she knew she had changed, and Simmons went to compare her DNA samples to Raina's.
Afterwards, Skye overheard Simmons telling Coulson and Melinda May that if it were necessary, they should consider killing Raina, fearing a plague, making Skye worry. While listening to the music Morse provided, Skye noticed Leo Fitz standing outside her room, who informed her that her heartbeat was beating an inhuman rate during the earthquake. Fitz proceeded to analyze the entire incident, coming to the conclusion that Skye had changed and caused the earthquake. Overwhelmed by this, Skye panicked and her powers began to emerge uncontrollably, exploding the lamp.
Fitz ran out of the room, and when Skye managed to calm herself down, she quickly cleaned up the mess. May entered the room to check in on Skye with how she was handling quarantine, so Skye kept her cool so everything would seem normal. The two talked about how Coulson was acting recently, due to him being impacted by Triplett's death. May noticed Skye's hands were cut, and figured something was wrong, and as Simmons joined them, Skye almost told them, but was stopped when Fitz covered for her.
Fitz revealed that the test results had come back, and that everything was normal, relieving Simmons and May. Fitz then opened up Skye's room, and explained to her that he switched her results with old samples, and that her new samples were drastically different. Fitz believed that they should wait to reveal the truth to everybody, and so they could figure it out, causing Skye to hug him. Skye once again tried to blame herself, saying there was something wrong with her, but Fitz comforted her, saying she was just different. Later, the senior agents sat together and shared memories of Triplett.
==== Inhuman Secrets Out ====
: "Listen to me... just me. We can do this. You can do this.""I can't... I can't make it stop.""You will control your emotions, just like we practiced.""I can't make it stop."
: ―Melinda May and Skye[src]
While Skye and Melinda May were training together, May told Skye to not hold back, teaching her to use her emotions and control them to her advantage when in a fight. Leo Fitz interrupted to check on Skye, so she told him that she was fine, and she continued sparring with May.
S.H.I.E.L.D. were notified of Lady Sif's arrival on Earth, so they headed to Portugal, to discover she had no recollection of any of her past. Skye was present as the team reviewed the footage of Sif's fight with an unknown man. Phil Coulson ordered Skye to go with Bobbi Morse to question witnesses about the man. Before she left, Skye learned about Jemma Simmons modifying the I.C.E.R.s to take down stronger threats, making her and Fitz nervous, as Skye would be included in those possible threats if her secret got out.
Their search led them to a hospital, where Skye discovered that Morse could speak Portuguese, and the two talked about Morse's ability to be able to tell when someone is lying. After asking about the man, the two discovered a nurse who had also lost her memory, just like Sif, which they realized he was somewhere in the hospital. Skye and Morse searched the building, soon discovering the man, who had blue skin. When Morse was knocked out by the man, Skye went to shoot him, but lost control of her powers and caused an earthquake, allowing him to escape.
Skye returned to the Bus and informed Coulson and Sif of her encounter, explaining how the man used a machine to turn his skin from blue to pink, making them believe he was a Kree. While the others investigated further into the Kree, Skye met with Fitz to tell him what happened, believing she should tell Coulson, as she was not in control of her powers. Skye returned to Coulson, May and Sif who located where the Kree was heading, and she decided to sit out the mission, not wanting to lose control again.
After apprehending the Kree, they all returned to the Playground, where he introduced himself as Vin-Tak, and restored Sif's memory. Skye listened as Vin-Tak explained the Kree's history in creating the Inhumans, which Skye realized she was one of them, and that he had arrived on Earth when a Diviner was activated to kill those who transformed. Skye began to panic and lost control of her powers, exposing her to everyone. Sif and Vin-Tak attempted to apprehend Skye, so S.H.I.E.L.D. protected her. However, Skye couldn't calm herself down, so she shot herself with an I.C.E.R., stopping the earthquakes, as well as Sif's pursuit. After the incident, Skye decided to confine herself to the interrogation room in the Bus, feeling that she couldn't be around anyone.
==== Being Evaluated ====
: "May taught me. You focus on a single point, let everything else become noise disappearing in the background.""Except it doesn't disappear. You're pushing it aside. Which is why, when you were dreaming, the tremors started."
: ―Skye and Andrew Garner[src]
While being constantly monitored, Skye would be visited by Phil Coulson, and they discussed her being put on the Index, as well as how her search for her parents has not gone as she wanted. Skye reported to Coulson that she felt she was getting in control and believed she could be ready for the field soon.
Melinda May informed Skye that a prerequisite of being on the Index was that she had to undergo a psychological assessment, much to Skye's protest. However, this all changed when Skye learned the one giving conducting the evaluation would be May's ex-husband. When Garner joined Skye for the evaluation, she constantly questioned him on his marriage to May to deflect from answering his questions. They talked about Skye shooting herself with an I.C.E.R., but when it got too real for her, Garner decided to share tidbits about May, allowing Skye to open up about not being in control of her powers.
When Skye was sleeping, she caused another earthquake, so she was woken up by the others, so she could stop it. Garner asked to be alone with Skye, and she explained how May taught her to cancel out her emotions. Garner noted that this wasn't removing her worries, but suppressing them, which is why she loses control. Skye attempted to use humor to avoid Garner's questions, as well as the truth of her situation, but he saw past it. Skye then opened up and revealed that her dream had to do with her going from being an agent to now a potential target, as per being on the Index.
Suddenly, the Bus began shaking again, which Skye revealed wasn't her, but was May, who piloted the plane to back up Coulson and Bobbi Morse against Calvin Zabo and his team. Overhearing May state that Skye and Garner would stay put and continue the evaluation, Skye objected, feeling she would be of use. Garner supported May's decision, but Skye assured them that she was in control of her powers, and if it came to it, she would incapacitate herself with an I.C.E.R..
Seeing value in Skye's idea to use her father's love for her, May agreed to let Skye assist her. They arrived at the high school, where Skye allowed May to hold her at gunpoint to gain leverage over Zabo. Zabo attempted to talk to Skye, asking about her transformation, but she didn't respond, and only listened as he went on about how S.H.I.E.L.D. treated people with powers. Knowing that May wouldn't kill Skye, Zabo decided to act, only to be teleported away out of nowhere by an unknown man with no eyes.
With Zabo gone, Garner ushered Skye away from the fight that then broke out between the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and the Slicing Talons. As Skye watched on, she soon started to cause another earthquake, drawing the attention onto her. However, Skye managed to stop the earthquake by internalizing her powers into her arms, which severely bruised them, causing her to faint from the strain. Skye awoke back in her room, where Jemma Simmons, who created casts for her to wear, explained what happened to her, but Skye was left scared, not knowing what to do, as she was not getting better.
==== The Retreat ====
: "Skye, I'm afraid I have to pull you from active duty.""I get it. I do. I just didn't think that you'd lock me up, like a werewolf during full moon.""You're not alone here.""Feels pretty isolated to me."
: ―Phil Coulson and Skye[src]
After being checked on by Jemma Simmons, Skye listened as she and Leo Fitz discussed Skye's new powers, with Fitz saying she could control them to an Avengers level, but Simmons compared her to Hulk.
With her anxiety being built up, Skye left and returned to her room, where she played Operation until Phil Coulson entered, saying they were going somewhere. During the flight in a Quinjet, Skye and Coulson talked about their current situation, which Skye stated was solely her father's fault. As the two ate licorice, Coulson told Skye about how he used to fix up a car with his father, which made it more important to him due to the work he put into it, which Skye deduced he was paralleling her with L.O.L.A.
They eventually arrived at a safehouse. When they entered, Coulson told Skye that the cabin was used to house and protect gifted people, as well as protect everyone else from them. Coulson informed Skye that she was being pulled from active field duty, which she understood but felt like she was being locked up. Coulson attempted to comfort Skye, and unveiled a pair of improved gloves to reduce injury, but Skye was annoyed at how he wasn't be real with her, so Coulson told her that she could get through this, and he left soon Skye by herself.
After a video call with Jemma Simmons, Skye tested the gloves made for her, and immediately found them uncomfortable. While adjusting, she received an unexpected visit from an eyeless man with the power of teleportation. The man introduced himself as Gordon, a member of a small society of Inhumans who understood what Skye was going through. He told Skye of his own reaction to his transformation, and offered Skye a place with them so she could truly understand how to harness her abilities. He then departed, informing her to call him when she made her choice.
Soon after, Skye removed her gloves and attempted to practice her abilities, using them to manipulate the vibrations in water from the sink. Suddenly, Melinda May called Skye and told her that a hostile force was coming for her. Bobbi Morse, leading a contingent of agents from Robert Gonzales' S.H.I.E.L.D., surrounded the safe house in an attempt to detain Skye. While evading her pursuers, Skye got into a brief fistfight with one of the field operatives, prompting Agent Tomas Calderon to attempt to shoot Skye; in response, Skye unleashed a massive shockwave that leveled the surrounding forests and injured Calderon. Shocked and terrified of the results, Skye uttered Gordon's name, and the man materialized to her location almost immediately, warping her away from the area.
==== Afterlife ====
: "I woke up naked on a table in a place no one can even point to on a map, so... Call me crazy.""You weren't totally naked, and you asked Gordon to bring you here. No one's gonna force you to stay. It's not a bad place."
: ―Skye and Lincoln Campbell[src]
Two days later, Skye awoke, nearly naked and unable to move, in a bed where Gordon greeted her, but then left her with Lincoln Campbell. Campbell explained that she had slept for so long because the shining needles that he was using on her were removing the effects of the inhibitor gloves that Jemma Simmons had given her. Skye wanted to leave to help Phil Coulson and her other friends, but Campbell reminded her that she was being hunted.
Campbell gave Skye a tour of Afterlife, the Inhuman settlement. Though Skye wanted to know where it was, Campbell said that he did not know; only Gordon knew the exact location for safety reasons. As her "transitioner," Campbell explained the rules of Afterlife and how others were jealous of her because she had her powers while many others who lived there did not yet. Skye asked about Raina and her father's whereabouts, but Campbell answered vaguely. Afterwards, Campbell brought Skye to her room, explaining they would learn about her powers tomorrow, and Skye learned that the Terrigenesis was irreversible.
Campbell showed her his power but Skye did not reciprocate. As they ate dinner, Campbell accidentally revealed that Raina was also in Afterlife. In anger, Skye left the room and stormed into Raina's cabin. Skye confronted her, blaming her for the death of Antoine Triplett; Raina retorted that Skye followed her into the Kree City on her own volition. As Skye attempted to use her power to kill Raina, Jiaying stopped her, explaining that Skye would follow the rules of Afterlife, which included peace from persecution. Jiaying did not reveal that she was Skye's mother; instead she told Skye that she had chosen to be her mentor and would train her, as she hoped that the two could develop a rapport.
Skye trained with Jiaying at Afterlife, first starting a controlled avalanche and then playing notes by vibrating water in glasses. However, Skye shattered the glasses, which brought back memories of foster homes. She told Jiaying of her childhood, and the fact that she never felt like any place would be home. She mentioned that she did not know when her birthday was, and to her shock, Jiaying told her that it was July 2nd. Skye realized that Jiaying was her mother, and hugged her, crying.
Upon revealing to Skye their relationship, Jiaying told her to be careful not to reveal it to anyone else, telling her of how the community of Afterlife did not like Inhumans going through Terrigenesis without the appropriate preparation as she had done. Skye learned of how Eva Belyakov made her daughter, Katya Belyakov, go through the Terrigen Mist despite Katya's lack of preparation. Skye was partially familiar with the story, but from Melinda May's perspective. So, given that Skye got her powers without formal preparation, in direct violation of the rules set by Jiaying herself, Jiaying did not want their relationship revealed to others.
Jiaying then asked Skye for a favor; she wanted her to have dinner with her father Calvin Zabo. Though Skye was hesitant in doing this as she still believed her father was a monster, after a promise from Jiaying that she would never have to see Zabo again, she agreed. Skye went to dinner and Zabo presented with her the gift of flowers, the three talked about Skye's birth. Zabo then told Skye the detailed story of her birth and revealed that she was born in 1988, not 1989 as she originally believed.
==== Father-Daughter Day ====
: "Johnson. Is that your last name?""Was. Pretty ordinary, huh? I changed it to something more sinister when I went on the run.""Daisy Johnson. Huh."
: ―Skye and Calvin Zabo[src]
After the dinner, Skye realized that her father was not always a monster, and she began to worry about sending him away. She went to Jiaying, and told her of her concerns, saying that she was worried that Zabo would go insane and hurt innocent people once he realized that he would never return to Afterlife. However, Jiaying told her that it was neither her concern nor Skye's.
Skye visited her father's room, and he eagerly told her that he was going home to retrieve his belongings. Skye thought for a moment, then asked if he was going to China, and Zabo told her that home was Milwaukee. Insisting she come along to lessen the blow for him, Gordon teleported them both to his hometown where she learned how Zabo and Jiaying met, but when he was in an ice-cream store, she made a call to Melinda May and insisted S.H.I.E.L.D. needed to come and get her, but to be wary of her father's temperament.
Upon learning Zabo's real last name was Johnson, Skye figured out her true name was Daisy Johnson. However, upon discovering Lincoln Campbell had been shadowing them, Zabo realized what was happening and lost his temper before HYDRA agents stormed the building, looking for Gordon. Zabo and Campbell fended them off while Skye retreated before briefly reunited with Phil Coulson and Grant Ward. Gordon immediately teleported between them and, along with Zabo, teleported back to Afterlife.
Back at Afterlife, Zabo angrily confronted his wife about his release, inadvertently revealing themselves as Skye's parents. Jiaying told him to calm down and he was escorted away. Gordon tried to retrieve Campbell, but returned with a gash on his forehead, saying it was HYDRA that attacked them and that they had Lincoln. Skye demanded why Campbell was shadowing her and Zabo, and Jiaying admitted that she sent Campbell to watch over them and make sure Zabo didn't lose his cool. Skye insisted on rescuing him, but Jiaying said it was too much of a risk for them.
==== Attack on the HYDRA Facility ====
: "So that's what happened in Puerto Rico. At least you can do is thank me.""How about I just don't try to kill you again?"
: ―Grant Ward and Skye[src]
Skye asked Gordon to take her to Campbell, but he refused out of concern for her safety. Raina then told them that Skye could save Campbell, showing Skye that Raina's power was precognition. Skeptical at first, Skye realized the truth when Raina mentioned seeing Phil Coulson and Grant Ward together. Skye and Raina convinced Gordon to teleport Skye from Afterlife. Gordon teleported onto the Bus and reunited Skye with her team including Coulson, her, Melinda May, Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons and Ward. While promising the others answers, she was unwilling to reveal them with Ward around, who the team were still uncomfortable around because of his betrayal.
Along with the team, Skye infiltrated the HYDRA base. There they joined Sunil Bakshi, who was brainwashed to serve under Ward, and she used her powers to help her team. Upon finding Deathlok, he told her Campbell was not in good shape and Skye went off to find him. After fighting her way through several HYDRA agents, Skye reached a dying Campbell. With little options, Skye used her powers to jumpstart Campbell's heart, saving his life. She and her team successfully got him and Deathlok out before Robert Gonzales blew up the base. She stayed by Campbell's side as he recovered.
=== War Against the Inhumans ===
==== Back to Afterlife ====
: "You know how this works. You're a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.""I don't know what I am anymore."
: ―Phil Coulson and Skye[src]
Skye stayed next to Lincoln Campbell's bed while he was in a coma for days. When he awoke, he was frightened when he realized he was in a S.H.I.E.L.D. base. He told Skye his fears that now, after S.H.I.E.L.D. knew about the existence of the Inhumans, they will probably search for Afterlife. When Gordon and Raina tried to retrieve the Monolith on the Iliad, Phil Coulson and Melinda May asked Skye about the Stone. Skye answered that neither she nor Campbell had ever heard about the Monolith.
Coulson asked if she believed Campbell, but Skye said that he and Jiaying helped her to control her powers. Coulson asked how they should call them, and Skye said they call themselves Inhumans. May made it clear that they are dangerous; however, Skye retorted that May was as well. Skye told May that Jiaying had told her of what happened to Katya Belyakov and Eva Belyakov in Bahrain, revealing that they also were Inhumans.
Once S.H.I.E.L.D. located Afterlife, Skye tried to convince Coulson that S.H.I.E.L.D. should not go there. Though Coulson reminded Skye of the agency's policies regarding powered individuals, Skye questioned them. Eventually, Skye asked to return to Afterlife with Campbell first to prepare the settlement. Coulson asked how she could be so certain that Jiaying would listen, and Skye revealed that Jiaying was her mother. Coulson agreed, and once Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons had said goodbye, she and Campbell were transported back to Afterlife by Gordon. 
==== Arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D. ====
: "Coulson... he's a good man. He's... He's the only person who's ever tried to take care of me. And... until now, he's the closest I've had to family. Please, Mom."
: ―Skye to Jiaying[src]
Arriving at Afterlife, Skye spoke to Jiaying about the arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Though her mother was skeptical about the agency's motivations, Skye convinced her to meet with Coulson to hear what he had to say. Skye was also present as Jiaying accused Raina of manipulating others with her powers for personal gain. Though Raina protested, no one, including Skye, believed her.
Skye, her mother, and Calvin Zabo waited for Coulson; but when a Quinjet arrived, Robert Gonzales disembarked, telling Jiaying that he came with the same intentions. Gonzales asked why Zabo was there, and Jiaying told him that in return for the safe return of Skye and Campbell, she was giving up Zabo to S.H.I.E.L.D. Jiaying asked Skye to take her father to the agents outside. On the way, Zabo told Skye he was grateful to have met her; she returned the sentiment. Reaching the Quinjet, Skye asked Melinda May why Coulson had not come; May told her that there needed to be someone objective meeting with Jiaying. Skye was with Jemma Simmons and Campbell when she heard gunshots from the meeting room. Skye ran to her mother and helped her walk, shocked at blood coming from a gunshot wound in her shoulder. Jiaying claimed that Gonzales had tried to kill her.
==== Ambush in Afterlife ====
: "You need to stand down.""Stand down? After Gonzales just shot my mom and declared war on us? You're the one who needs to stand down."
: ―Melinda May and Skye[src]
As Jiaying fell, Skye asked her in a panic what had happened, and Jiaying claimed that Robert Gonzales had said that the Inhumans should be exterminated. Jemma Simmons wanted to check Jiaying's condition, but Jiaying rebuffed her, saying that S.H.I.E.L.D. had done enough. Skye told Simmons that S.H.I.E.L.D. should go, and Simmons asked what about her. Skye did not respond, and Simmons left.
Skye and Lincoln Campbell helped Jiaying towards a safe place, but a Quinjet fired two missiles at a house, which exploded, the shockwave causing the three to fall. Standing up, Jiaying asked Skye why she had let this happen, but Skye responded that she had had no idea what would happen. Jiaying was taken to a safe house, and Skye confronted Melinda May, who was looking for Gonzales. May asked Skye where Gonzales was so they could fix this, but Skye said that it was too late for fixing, saying S.H.I.E.L.D. should leave Afterlife. When May refused, the two women started fighting each other, and Skye used her powers to knock May out.
In a room where Jiaying was being attended to, Skye told Campbell that she had thought that, with her healing powers, Jiaying wouldn't feel the pain. Campbell replied that was not the case and that Jiaying did feel everything. Skye asked the doctor who assessed Jiaying if she could donate blood for her mother, but Campbell accused her of planning the attack on Afterlife with S.H.I.E.L.D.. Jiaying said that she believed Skye was still with them and was as shocked by the attack as everyone else. When the argument continued to heat up, Jiaying asked for everyone to leave her in peace to recover.
Skye then visited Raina and said to her that she had already known about the attack on Afterlife. Raina admitted that she had, and that she knew that Skye came to her so she would tell her the future. Skye listened as Raina said that if she would, Skye wouldn't believe her. Raina said that she had had a vision earlier that day, which had revealed the truth to her. Skye asked for Raina to tell her, but Raina said again that Skye wouldn't believe her, and that her destiny was to help Skye fulfill hers. When Skye stormed out, Raina told her they would never speak again, Jiaying was misleading her people, and it was Skye's destiny to lead the Inhumans.
Skye visited Jiaying again and was surprised that she had healed so fast. Jiaying told her that having her here was the best medicine she could have. Skye told her that she had spoken with Raina but believed she should not have gone. Jiaying said that the safety of her people was more important. Skye brought up the fact that S.H.I.E.L.D. could find them anywhere, and Jiaying said that that was why they should bring the battle to them. She brought Skye a necklace, saying that if she decided to join their fight, she should bring it back to her.
==== Witnessing Raina's Death ====
: "You killed Gonzales. You want a war.""War was inevitable. I struck first so we would have the advantage."
: ―Skye and Jiaying[src]
Skye saw the meeting of Jiaying and Raina and how Jiaying killed her. After her mother saw her, Skye threw the necklace to the floor. Skye approached and told her that Raina had known that she would see this and that who Jiaying really was, so she killed her. Jiaying said that everything she had and will do was for their people, but Skye regularized that she had killed Robert Gonzales and she wanted that a war would start.
Jiaying explained her action so the Inhumans would have the advantage; however, Skye said that Gonzales had come to make peace. Jiaying said that she had built Afterlife so they will live in peace, but after S.H.I.E.L.D. found them, they will hunt the Inhumans wherever they will go or whatever they will do. Skye said what did she plan, and Jiaying said her future and theirs. Jiaying said that after she will be gone, Skye should lead and protect the Inhumans in the way she had protected, but Skye said that if they needed a protection, it was from her. Suddenly Skye was struck by one of Jiaying's man and was put in a prison in the Iliad, after the Inhumans took over the ship.
==== Fighting Back ====
: "You saw what she did with those crystals; killed unarmed agents. Okay, think. Why would she want the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D. to come here? It's not to hug it out. She wants to execute them."
: ―Skye to Lincoln Campbell[src]
Skye was in her cell, guarded by one of Alisha Whitley's duplicates, but she later was freed by Alphonso Mackenzie. He told her how many agents the Inhumans had killed and captured. He also asked her for her hacking skills. The two noticed the emergency beacon that was sent to all S.H.I.E.L.D. channels and they realized that Jiaying wanted to use the Terrigen Crystals to call to as many of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as possible and execute them. They went to shut down the beacon. On their way, Mackenzie assured her that her mother's betrayal was not her fault. He sent Skye to hack into the computer systems to shut down the emergency signal while he went in search of equipment.
Skye began to hacking but Lincoln Campbell confronted her and attacked her with his powers, stunning her. Skye begged him to listen to her as she claimed he had the information all wrong, and that Jiaying had murdered Robert Gonzales and staged the entire attack on the Inhumans as a way of tricking them into following her into a war. Skye explained that Jiaying had murdered Raina after she had had a vision of Jiaying's plan. Campbell believed her, but just as he told her where the Terrigen Crystals were being kept, he was knocked out by Mackenzie. Mackenzie then went to protect the Crystals.
Instead of shutting down the beacon, Skye created a code in the beacon that warned everyone who read it about Jiaying's plan. The code was read by Leo Fitz on his way with Phil Coulson, Melinda May and Calvin Zabo to the ship. Skye also sent another message about the Crystals. Skye then found Jiaying and confronted her, failing again. Jiaying then left with the Crystals to the Quinjets to use them to exterminate the humans and create new Inhumans. Alisha Whitley was ordered to fight Skye. Skye fought her but when she was almost defeated, May and Campbell found and helped her. May forgave Skye and Skye went to stop Jiaying.
==== A Terrible Choice ====
: "I don't want your revolution, because this isn't about protecting me or your people. This is about hate.""No, you're wrong.""It's consumed you. You can't even tell right from wrong. I can't let you destroy any more lives."
: ―Skye and Jiaying[src]
Skye found her mother and begged her to stop, but Jiaying did not listen, saying that it was the only way to protect her people. Skye said that she didn't want to protect her people or her, she wanted to do this because of hate. Jiaying realized that Skye would not listen, so she used her powers to suck the life-force out of Skye. However, Skye was able to muster whatever strength she had left and used it to create a shockwave that pushed the Quinjet off the ship and into the sea, causing the Terrigen Crystals to be lost forever.
With her plan in ruins, Jiaying once again tried to kill Skye, only for Skye to use her powers to try to kill her, causing Jiaying's scars to open and bleed. The pair were interrupted by Calvin Zabo, who had escaped and begged them to stop. When Zabo said that they would not stop until one of them was dead, he pulled Jiaying away from their daughter and broke her nerve endings; he then lifted her high in the air and broke her spine, killing her, before breaking down and crying over the body of his beloved wife. The human race was saved and The Inhuman threat was over.
==== Goodbyes ====
: "I know I'm going away for good, but I was hoping you might come visit, once in a while.""I will, I promise.""That would be...""Let me guess, the best day ever? You have a lot of those.""No, just one. July 2nd, 1988."
: ―Calvin Zabo and Skye[src]
With the Inhuman threat at an end, Calvin Zabo left the Playground. As he was leaving, he was walked out by Skye. In their last few moments together, Zabo told her that she was better than he ever imagined, even though he had imagined her perfect.
Assuming that he was going to be incarcerated for the rest of his life for his crimes, Zabo requested that Skye come and visit him at his prison, and she promised that she would, telling him it would be the best day ever. Zabo told her he had only had one best day, the day she was born. But instead, Zabo's mind was erased by S.H.I.E.L.D. at a request from Skye, using the remaining resources from Project T.A.H.I.T.I., and he was allowed to begin a new and happy life as Doctor Winslow with no memory of his true past.
=== Project Caterpillars ===
==== Wanting to Find Inhumans ====
: "My mother was right about one thing – people like me need to be kept a secret. Not like the Avengers, out in the open. If we do this, we need to be–""Anonymous. That's the idea."
: ―Skye and Phil Coulson[src]
Skye and Phil Coulson drove to visit her father at his new work as a veterinarian. She was happy to see him as a new person. She presented herself as Daisy, to which Winslow responded that that was a beautiful name.
Skye then returned to Coulson and he asked her about her thoughts on leading a new initiative for people with powers, where they could use their abilities to help protect the world. Skye insisted that if they did this, the team should be kept a secret so the people involved could still live their own private lives. Coulson agreed, noting that his missing arm would be his personal reminder of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s past mistakes.
==== Rescue of Joey Gutierrez ====
: "My name's Daisy and I'm with S.H.I.E.L.D., and we're here for your protection."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Joey Gutierrez[src]
Having fully assumed her birth name, Daisy Johnson began working with Alphonso Mackenzie on recruiting and safeguarding new Inhumans. She, Mackenzie, and Lance Hunter went to Seattle, Washington to extract Joey Gutierrez before the Advanced Threat Containment Unit could. She used her powers on the Unit's soldiers to keep them from shooting Gutierrez. She introduced herself to the frightened man and assured him that he would be safe with S.H.I.E.L.D., sending him to the Zephyr One.
Later, Johnson explained to Gutierrez that he was an Inhuman and had recently undergone Terrigenesis, of which there was no possibility of reversing. Johnson then spoke with Phil Coulson about the rising number of new Inhumans emergences and their sequential capture by the ATCU, noting that Gutierrez was the first they successfully rescued. Returning to the Playground, Johnson and Mackenzie spoke with Gutierrez, with Johnson giving a full explanation of the Terrigen outbreak, which affected his DNA. They then told Gutierrez that he couldn't return to his normal life, agitating him, so Johnson knocked him out.
Understanding she needed help dealing with Gutierrez, emotionally, Johnson suggested reaching out to Lincoln Campbell, as he had experience with Inhuman transitioning, so Coulson authorized the decision, and she and Mackenzie went to find him. Johnson and Mackenzie went to the hospital where Campbell worked and managed to meet with him, despite his previous wishes for S.H.I.E.L.D. to leave him alone. Johnson told him it was important, revealing a new Inhuman had appeared and they needed his help to transition him, However, Campbell believed his previous experience wouldn't be right to use, now knowing he was taught lies, and now just wanted to live a normal life, so he went to leave but was stopped.
==== The Coming of Lash ====
: "We'll have to hit this thing with everything we've got."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Lincoln Campbell and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
Before the argument of Alphonso Mackenzie and Lincoln Campbell could escalate further, the lights began to short circuit. Running to the main lobby, the three saw a monstrous man kill a security guard while asking for an Inhuman. The Inhuman the man was looking for turned out to be Campbell, and with no choice but to do so, Campbell proceeded to fight the man; Johnson, using her vibrational powers, and Mackenzie, using his sidearm, acted as backup. The man then cut a hole into the wall and fled.
Insisting that they pursue the man, Johnson led Campbell and Mackenzie through the hospital to find him. When the man suddenly appeared and incapacitated Mackenzie, Johnson and Campbell used their powers on him simultaneously but to no avail, as the man continued his advance towards them. Johnson then directed her powers on the floor under their foe; he fell through the floor and escaped the hospital. She asked Campbell to come to the Playground since he was now discovered with powers; Campbell refused, and fled on his own. Returning to the Playground, Johnson went into Gutierrez's room. As they watched the press conference of President Matthew Ellis, they sipped a beer and talked about keeping Inhumans a secret.
==== Speaking with Doctor Garner ====
: "When I changed, I felt like a monster. I needed help. This is a chance to show people they have a place to belong. It sounds stupid.""No, but what you're describing sounds more like a halfway house. I'll gladly help you build that.""My mother created a halfway house for Inhumans, and it was not enough. I... I want Inhumans taking action with S.H.I.E.L.D., to see that being different can mean making a difference."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Andrew Garner[src]
Johnson spoke with Alphonso Mackenzie about Joey Gutierrez, believing he was a fitting candidate to the team of powered individuals, but Mackenzie did not think the same. Johnson pointed out that Phil Coulson's team would be soon with only three people as the rest were gone, left or injured.
Suddenly, Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter rushed past them, as Leo Fitz had opened the containment of the Monolith, so Johnson and Mackenzie followed them, and they managed to get Fitz out and close the door just in time. However, Fitz discovered residue of sand, leading to him realizing the Monolith was a portal to another planet, giving everyone hope that Jemma Simmons was still alive. Coulson tasked Johnson and Mackenzie with staying with Gutierrez and waiting for Andrew Garner's arrival and assessment, as the team was still the priority.
When Garner arrived at the Playground, Johnson welcomed him, attempted to make him happy so he would approve Gutierrez for the team, but he caught on to what she was doing. Johnson asked Garner about when Melinda May would be returning, but he told Johnson she should ask May herself, only she couldn't, not knowing where she was. After Garner returned from assessing Gutierrez, Johnson accurately guessed that Garner declared him unqualified for the team. Johnson expressed the importance of the team, which made Garner reaffirm the need to keep everyone safe, especially with Coulson's decisions, as well as saw as pointing out Johnson changing into a leader. But Johnson revealed the purpose was to give Inhumans a proper place to belong with S.H.I.E.L.D., unlike what her mother did.
==== Opening a Portal ====
: "I can do it. I can open the portal myself."
: ―Daisy Johnson[src]
Alphonso Mackenzie got a call from Phil Coulson that he needed the Monolith to be brought to a room in an English castle where they could transform it to a portal. Johnson came with Mackenzie on the Zephyr One and then to the room. She wondered if there was a chance they could succeed. She then said to Coulson and Bobbi Morse the things Andrew Garner had said about them.
They then activated the machines of the room that caused the Monolith, that was in a hole on the floor, to transform into its liquid state. Johnson heard a deafening noise that caused her bleeding from her nose and to faint as the machines broke. Coulson asked Johnson if she was alright but called her "Skye," to which Johnson responded that she called "Daisy." She then realized that she was the only person who had heard the noise. Leo Fitz then realized that the room they occupied was shaped to send the Monolith a high frequency that would make it transform to a portal. Johnson then realized that she could open the portal with her powers.
The team prepared to send through the portal a probe that so they could see the planet through it. Elliot Randolph asked what she was planning to do as Johnson started to activate her powers. The Monolith transformed again to a portal; Fitz, tied to a line, jumped through it to the other planet. While Fitz was searching for Jemma Simmons, Johnson was struggling to keep the portal open. Coulson then ordered them to bring him back. As Johnson released her powers, the Monolith exploded, but Fitz returned with Simmons back to Earth. After she saw them, she fell down but Mackenzie held her and said that she had done good.
==== Search for Lincoln Campbell ====
: "You... you help people because you were meant to. You can do that with us, like you were doing at the hospital saving lives.""That part of my life is over.""No, you... you are not cursed. You are not some horrible thing. I know... because you taught me that I wasn't."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell[src]
Johnson discovered that the Advanced Threat Containment Unit were hunting Lincoln Campbell, along with several other agencies, so she notified Phil Coulson, believing they should help him, despite his refusal. Coulson agreed, and decided to bring him in, revealing to Johnson the Tracker they planted on him back at the hospital.
Tracking Campbell's whereabouts to learn he had recently purchased a phone, Johnson called him to warn him about the danger he was in, telling him they could keep him safe, but Campbell ignored her, destroyed his phone, and fried the Tracker. Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie argued over how they handled the situation, with Mackenzie wanting to have gone straight for him, but Johnson felt it best they don't scare Campbell any further than he already was, so they decided to figure out a new plan to help him.
After watching a news report about the hunt for Campbell, Johnson was tasked with locating his last location, but suggested going out to find him, which Coulson rejected, not wanting her to get discovered by the ATCU. When Johnson asked about why she wasn't informed of the Tracker, Coulson said it was because she was too close to the situation, with her being in charge of assembling the team of Inhumans, and that he would have wanted that done without the rise of problems they were currently facing.
Deciding to take a break, Johnson went to visit Jemma Simmons in her room, gifted her some daisies to help remember her new name, although she said Simmons could call her whatever she wanted. Johnson apologized for not coming to see Simmons sooner, being busy, but said that if she ever needed to talk about her experiences, she'd be there, although Simmons interjected that she'd rather listen, so Johnson filled her in about the Terrigenesis outbreak. Simmons began to open up, but they were interrupted when Campbell called Johnson, asking fo her help.
Johnson notified Coulson that Campbell was waiting for them for an extraction, but when he suggested that only Mackenzie would go, she insisted she come, as Campbell trusted her. Arriving at the location, Johnson entered the apartment where Campbell was hiding, and he began express how he was dangerous, feeling guilt for accidentally killing a man, but Johnson attempted to calm him down. She continued by telling him that he could help people, just like he helped her, but when Campbell said she was wasting her time with him, Johnson kissed him, and he agreed to go with her.
Mackenzie then entered and said that there was a change in the plan as the ATCU soldiers entered and arrested Campbell, by Coulson's order. Johnson demanded an explanation of what was happening, but Mackenzie said that Coulson said she would be safe. Campbell then used his powers to knock the soldiers out and escaped, so Luther Banks then ordered his soldiers to arrest Johnson, but Mackenzie stood against him. Banks then got a call from Rosalind Price; he and the soldiers then stood down and left without Johnson.
Back in the Playground, Coulson explained that he had had to make a choice between Johnson or Campbell. He said that since the ATCU had her picture and Campbell had escaped, he offered Price an alliance between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the ATCU, as a lesson from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s fight against Brigadier General Glenn Talbot and the fight against the other S.H.I.E.L.D. faction. After Coulson got a call from Price, Johnson then understood that Mackenzie had not told him about the romance between her and Campbell. She went to say thank you to Mackenzie before sitting beside him on the sofa and the two played a video game.
==== Hunting Lash ====
: "You think the ATCU knew about him?""Worse. What if they're running him?""I think the conspiracy nut in you had a few too many lattes this morning.""I did have a latte. It was a double. But if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were defending the ATCU, or the dragon lady."
: ―Phil Coulson and Daisy Johnson[src]
When Alisha Whitley assisted S.H.I.E.L.D. with a recruitment mission for an Inhuman couple, Lash found them and killed the couple and Whitley's duplicate, so Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie went in for support. Angered, Johnson rushed after Lash to find him, and stop him from killing any more Inhumans, so Mackenzie hastily followed her to back her up.
The partners followed the trail to a dark industrial place, informing Phil Coulson of their status, and requesting backup. Johnson reiterated the importance of finding Lash and learning why he was killing Inhumans, which Mackenzie saw as instinct, and they overheard movement, so they persisted, resulting in them encountering the Advanced Threat Containment Unit, much to their surprise. Rosalind Price ordered her soldiers to stand down, so Johnson and Mackenzie did the same, and the two were shocked to see Coulson with them, as the two leaders declared their cooperation with each other, much to Johnson's uncertainty.
Back at the Playground, Johnson was informed by Bobbi Morse that Lash was an Inhuman, making her wonder why he would kill his own kind, considering the troubles they already face. Johnson then revealed that she inspected the email the victims received, and noted that it tracked their locations, so Coulson told her to pass the information to the ATCU, but she was hesitant. Coulson explained that the ATCU could have information they need, and that they need to work with them if they want answers.
Johnson returned to Coulson after she had spoken with Luther Banks. She told Coulson that he said that the ATCU had came across that email before, but could not find the source. However, Johnson searched and found out that the emails had been sent by Dwight Frye, who Johnson thought could be Lash. Johnson theorized that the ATCU was running this man, but Coulson did not believe that. Johnson said that she thought Coulson defended them and Price too much. Coulson ordered her to take Mackenzie and go to Frye's home.
Outside the home, Price and Banks waited for them. Johnson used her powers to open the door and she entered to search for Frye. She found what looked like the monstrous man's shell after his Terrigenesis. She then found Frye in his closet, crying. When Johnson tried to help him, he yelled at her, demanding her to get out. Johnson used her powers to dash him against a wall. Mackenzie pulled him out and noticed Frye had a reaction on his face from Johnson's presence, so she was asked to leave the room. Johnson listened to Frye as he told Coulson and Price the alliance he made with the monstrous man called Lash, and how he helped him to track Inhumans so he could kill them.
Coulson and Price ordered Banks to arrest Frye and transport him to the ATCU facility. However, Johnson insisted she accompany the transport, so Coulson negotiated with Price to allow her and Mackenzie to accompany Banks, ensure Frye's good treatment, and inspect the facility. Johnson and Mackenzie obtained permission to ride, but Price sent Banks on ahead of them. During the drive, Johnson, whose presence agitated Frye, discussed with Mackenzie about the ATCU's suspicious behavior, knowing they were hiding something.
Suddenly, the roof of the van was ripped through by Lash, who entered, so Johnson sent a shockwave at Lash which knocked him back, but also caused the van to crash and the agents inside to be knocked unconscious. After Lash dragged Frye out and killed him, Johnson awoke, only able to witness the monster walk away, as he appeared to transform into a human. The unit was taken to a hospital, where Johnson told Mackenzie what she saw. Price then visited them, and Johnson told her Coulson was after Grant Ward.
==== Tracking Luther Banks ====
: "Lash was tracking us. He knew where our truck was. He... he needed inside info for that.""You think he's got access to ATCU information?""No, I... I think he's in the ATCU."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
Returning to the Playground, Johnson, still frustrated with her encounter with Lash, began working on her new theory, revealing to Phil Coulson that she thinks Lash works for the ATCU. Coulson brought up keeping the investigation away from Rosalind Price's awareness, leading to Johnson wondering if he was getting close with her, but Coulson dismissed the idea.
Johnson came across Andrew Garner to ask for a consult about Lash, wondering why she was still alive, being a Inhuman. Garner suggested getting Lincoln Campbell's help, but Johnson was unable to locate him. Alphonso Mackenzie interrupted them, revealing that he believed that Luther Banks was Lash, so they planned to tail him to find out whether or not they were right. Right before they were about to leave, Lance Hunter, who had been benched by Coulson, desperately asked to join them, so they let him.
Johnson, Mackenzie, and Hunter followed Banks as he drove home, then made a call outside. Johnson and Mackenzie discussed what to do, as they could not reach him. However, Johnson was surprised to see Hunter, with a bandanna over his face, walk up to Banks and shoot him with an I.C.E.R.. Furious, Johnson confronted Hunter as he dragged Banks back to the van; Hunter told them that the best way to see if Banks was Lash was to test his blood for Inhuman markers. Johnson grudgingly admitted that his suggestion was smart and sent a blood sample back to S.H.I.E.L.D., asking Jemma Simmons to test it. While waiting for the sample's results, Mackenzie and Hunter went through Bank's phone; they noticed a text message informing Banks of a test subject being moved to a lab. Johnson traced the lab and the team decided to investigate it, leaving a still-unconscious Banks in his car.
At the lab, Johnson revealed she had a new D.W.A.R.F. that Leo Fitz had been working on but had not yet authorized for use, telling Mackenzie that she had stolen it. As she searched the facility, Johnson received a call from Simmons, who told her that the blood samples had come back fully human. Hunter stated that despite this, Banks still could not be trusted. Johnson watched the D.W.A.R.F.'s video feed as it showed something arriving at the lab: an Inhuman suspended in gel inside a cage. With horror, Johnson saw that Phil Coulson and Rosalind Price were watching also, from the floor of the facility. Later, in secret, Johnson called to check in on Campbell, who Garner felt should be at the base.
==== Fighting Lash ====
: "I protect people.""It doesn't matter.""How can you say that?""Because for every Daisy Johnson, there's a Lash, and it's ignorant for you to think otherwise."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Rosalind Price[src]
As Johnson and Phil Coulson were arguing Rosalind Price and the Advanced Threat Containment Unit intention to cure the Inhumans, he explained that he would meet with president Matthew Ellis about the Inhuman threat. He asked Johnson to talk with Price while they would head to the meeting on the Zephyr One. On Zephyr One, Price came on board and he told her that Johnson will show her around. The two very quickly argued about her powers and the ATCU actions against the Inhumans. As Price told her that for every "good" Inhuman there is a "bad" one, such as Lash, Johnson walked away.
Suddenly, Alphonso Mackenzie and Lincoln Campbell landed on the Zephyr, claiming that Lash was actually Garner. At first, Johnson did not believe, but Coulson ordered to find him and Melinda May, who had been kidnapped by him. With the help of ATCU soldiers, they raided an abounded building in Culver University. She warned Campbell not attack Lash until Coulson ordered that. However, he did, and a fight started between the two sides. When Lash threw Price from a great high, Johnson, without knowing she was capable to do that, saved her by making her hover slowly to the ground. May then shot Lash and he was hold in the Containment Module. After the battle, May asked Johnson's opinion what to do with him. She agreed that keeping him inside the Module until a cure will be invented was his best option.
==== Operation Spotlight ====
: "Did you just hack the ATCU?"No, but the Containment Module broadcasts some pretty intense encrypted homing signals. You put it inside a corporate office, and it'll wig the I.T. department out real good."
: ―Lincoln Campbell and Daisy Johnson[src]
With Lincoln Campbell now with S.H.I.E.L.D., Johnson discussed with him about staying at the Playground, and he brought up their kiss, asking if there'll be more in their future, but Johnson remained playfully ambiguous. Johnson then informed Campbell that if he was going to stay at the base, he would need to be ready to be a part of Phil Coulson's game plan. Johnson was present as Coulson briefed the agents on Operation Spotlight, in which she and Alphonso Mackenzie would be stationed on Zephyr One and would hack into the ATCU.
On the Zephyr, Johnson managed to create a security breach in the ATCU base, which allowed Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter to infiltrator the base. Johnson helped Hunter to say the correct words so he could sound like a real hacker. She then helped them to enter a room where they discovered that the ATCU tried to create many Inhumans as possible. After the two managed to escape unharmed, the team listened Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons explaining that HYDRA was an ancient organization which was founded hundreds of years ago.
=== Secret Warriors ===
==== Attack on the HYDRA Castle ====
: "I'm staying with you, because, "a," I can keep the portal open if something goes wrong, and, "b," I'm your partner."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
After Rosalind Price was assassinated by Grant Ward, Phil Coulson interrogated each member of his original team in order to find a weakness in Ward. Johnson was asked by Coulson if she thought Ward had only acted like he liked her and exploited her, but she answered that she believed Ward truly liked her. She also told him that she could understand Ward's motives, even though she would never forget what he had done.
As Coulson went to kill, Alphonso Mackenzie was appointed to the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Johnson was told by him that Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons had been kidnapped by HYDRA. She urged him to go rescue them, but he did not believe that this was a right move, so he called Coulson for an advice. Having formed a plan to rescue their agents, Johnson and Mackenzie entered a Quinjet. Johnson listened as Mackenzie informed Lincoln Campbell and Joey Gutierrez that HYDRA had kidnapped Fitz and Simmons and he needed their help to rescue them. Johnson was delighted when both agreed to help, knowing her dream of a team of Inhumans was coming true. Johnson fist-bumped Mackenzie and the mission began.
After making a plan to infiltrate the castle, Johnson, along with Campbell, Gutierrez, and Melinda May, searched for a way inside. Johnson spotted R. Giyera, whom she noted was telekinetic. Johnson ordered Campbell to shut off the lights for a better stealth entry. Inside, Johnson started hacking into the HYDRA computers. However, Giyera discovered her and tried to shoot her. Gutierrez leaped in front of Johnson to save her, but the bullets melted before penetrating his skin. Campbell knocked Giyera out as Johnson congratulated Gutierrez on his powers.
The team, being found by Lance Hunter, reunited in the portal chamber once Simmons had been rescued. Johnson stayed in the chamber as Gutierrez left to reinforce the door. Simmons explained what would happen once the timer finished, hoping Fitz Coulson would be the ones to come out of it, and also told them about Hive. When May returned, she revealed that Lash had killed all the Inhumans. When HYDRA started to attack their location, Mackenzie ordered everyone but Johnson and himself to leave the castle and return to Zephyr One while they stayed to rescue Coulson and Fitz from Maveth.
Johnson waited for the two to return from the alien planet; just as the portal collapsed, the men returned. Johnson and Mackenzie got the two to the Containment Module, and Mackenzie ordered May to blow up the castle as they flew the Module back to Zephyr One. Once on the plane, Johnson happily kissed Campbell, believing that they had stopped HYDRA's plan.
==== New Teammate ====
: "Four of us in one place makes us vulnerable, like the twelve Inhumans Lash killed.""It's hard to build a team if everyone's spread over the world.""When I was a hacker, my team and I, we were tight, and we weren't on the same continent.""Huh. Yeah, with the right tech solution, it could work."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
After a weaponry abduction incident in Bogotá involving an Inhuman occurred, Johnson and Joey Gutierrez came to the National Police of Colombia station and talked to Victor Ramon about it. Alphonso Mackenzie then was kidnapped by the Inhuman, so Johnson cheeked the security cameras and found out that the Inhuman had super-speed abilities. She broke in the Inhuman's apartment and arrested her.
In Zephyr One, the team learned that the Inhuman was Elena Rodriguez. She explained to them that she did not want to use the weapons, but to get rid of them so the police stop using them. Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter were taken by the police to the station. Mackenzie convinced Rodriguez to help them fight against them. Johnson, Gutierrez and Rodriguez used their powers together to fight the policemen, destroy their weapons and capture the Inhuman Lucio. However, as the team went with him to the custody, an HYDRA QuadCopter flew over them and took Lucio. Later, Johnson and Mackenzie agreed they should join Rodriguez to the Secret Warriors. Gutierrez took a time out from S.H.I.E.L.D.. In the Playground, Johnson and Lincoln Campbell offered him the same thing, but Campbell claimed he wanted to stay.
==== Potential Cure ====
: "We're only part alien, and it's not a disease – it's an awakening.""Interesting word choice.""I mean, for me. Terrigenesis made me who I was supposed to be. I was given a gift, and I use it to stop bad people from doing bad things."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Bobbi Morse[src]
As Johnson and Bobbi Morse prepared for the "Symposium on Alien Contagion," the first complained about the panic Humans made of the Inhumans, and not all of them meant to harm people. Glenn Talbot then came to the Playground. He demanded that his new bodyguard, Carl Creel, would come with him to the symposium. Johnson agreed that he should not be trusted, but Phil Coulson said that he allowed to Creel to join the mission.
Coulson told Johnson that she was not in the mission, since she was an Inhuman. Later, Johnson trained Lincoln Campbell in boxing in order for him to prepare for his S.H.I.E.L.D. training at the Cocoon. The pair proved to be almost equally matched until Johnson was able to flip Campbell over and pin him to the ground as they continued flirting. Before they could kiss each other, Jemma Simmons interrupted, asking for Campbell's help.
Johnson heard them examining Creel's blood as a cure for Terrigenesis. Johnson entered the lab, horrified about the idea. Campbell noted that Jiaying was right about being selective for who should become an Inhuman, but Johnson disagreed. She argued it was a birthright, that Campbell was sounding like the Watchdogs and being Inhuman was not a disease. After their debate, Johnson entered her bedroom where Campbell waited for her. He told her that he was jealous that she was calm with her power, as he felt controlling his powers was like a war within his head. Johnson told him it could be good to lose control and the pair had sex.
==== Mission in Siberia ====
: "What's wrong, Tremors?""Well, aside from the fact that this thing is ancient, I do not read Cyrillic."
: ―Alphonso Mackenzie and Daisy Johnson[src]
Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter managed to follow Gideon Malick to Siberia, with the team follow them on Zephyr One. After a few hours, Johnson, Melinda May and Alphonso Mackenzie landed with a Quinjet to assist Morse and Hunter. Morse informed them that a group of Russian ministers had a meeting with Malick to see an Inhuman. They plan to get inside the compound. After they infiltrated the compound, Johnson found the main computer, but had trouble to use it since the keyboard was in Russian.
Morse managed to install a listening device during Malick's meeting. There, Anton Petrov revealed that the Inhuman was General Androvich. Johnson said that he was the first Inhuman politician. Johnson followed the General through the security cameras. Mackenzie saw something strange in Androvich's footage, so Johnson sent it to the Zephyr One. As the Russian Prime Minister arrived to the compound, Phil Coulson ordered the agents to go to protract him from Androvich, since he wanted to assassinate him. The team converted to the meeting, and with a smoke bomb, Johnson, Morse and Mackenzie kidnapped Androvich. As they were walking with him, Johnson heard him threading them. Suddenly, a shadow appeared from the wall and attacked them.
The shadow was harmless to their attacks, even not to Johnson's powers. After he knocked out Mackenzie, the shadow disappeared and so Androvich. Jemma Simmons told him that the shadow couldn't be defeated. Morse said that only by killing Androvich the shadow would be gone. They shadow attacked again and Morse managed to leap him, but disappeared again. Johnson started to ask how could they defeat him and the shadow leafed her to the ceiling and knocked her out. Mackenzie brought her back to Zephyr One.
After Morse killed Androvich, she and Hunter where arrested. Coulson went to free them, but he returned to Zephyr One alone. He informed that the team and they were disavowed from S.H.I.E.L.D. in order to keep it a secret. Later, the team visited a bar where Morse and Hunter were. Without directly contacting them, Johnson and the others all ordered shots for the two, saying goodbye in the only way they could.
==== Fighting the Watchdogs ====
: "I'm trying to save lives. I'll use whatever advantage I have to do it.""Yeah, the advantage of superpowers, which is something I don't have. But I'm not so sure you should be using yours to sidestep civil liberties.""They gave up their right to civil liberties when they started imploding buildings."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
Following the Attack on the ATCU Storage Facility by the Watchdogs, Phil Coulson sent Johnson and Leo Fitz to the scene. In the hangar, Johnson greeted Lincoln Campbell who had returned from his evaluation at the Cocoon. Johnson suggested to Coulson to bring Campbell to the mission since the leaving of Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter, but Coulson refused. At the scene, Fitz and Alphonso Mackenzie discovered that the Watchdogs had used Nitramene to collapse the building. Johnson informed Coulson about it and he suspected Felix Blake had to do with the incident.
On Zephyr One, Johnson told them that she had tracked some of the Watchdogs members and they could interrogate someone on the incident. Mackenzie, however, was against the idea she would use her power against them only for interrogation. Johnson continued her plan and took Fitz to question Dallas Wyatt. With her powers, Johnson stopped Wyatt's car and used them to threaten him. He told her that the Watchdogs operate in Easterling Farms. She later gave the information to Mackenzie. At night, Johnson, Mackenzie and Fitz went to farms. With one of Fitz's D.W.A.R.F.s, they saw Felix inside a barn. Suddenly, Mackenzie's brother, Ruben, came and attracted the Watchdogs' attention.
Johnson used her powers against them and went to the barn but could not see Blake. One of them shot a Nitramene at Fitz's neck. Johnson tried to defect it but nothing happened to it. Inside the Containment Module, with the help of a Watchdogs member, Johnson managed to destroy the Nitramene. She told the Watchdogs member she would hand him over to Glenn Talbot, but he told her the Watchdogs were after Mackenzie as they mistook him for being an Inhuman. Mackenzie managed to deal with them, but got injured. Johnson told his brother about her partnership with him. Later, Johnson found out that Gideon Malick supported the Watchdogs.
==== Glimpse to the Future ====
: "Sir, I'm the best choice to handle this, and since Bobbi's gone, I'm the only one left who can.""You're not unstoppable, Daisy.""I'm willing to put that to the test."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Melinda May[src]
While riding in Zephyr One a call came through in which Edwin Abbott desperately called for Johnson's help. The team went to investigate as Abbott desperately tried to explain to Johnson he had seen these events already happening in a vision of his own death given to him by Charles Hinton. An HYDRA QuadCopter suddenly arrived and Johnson and Abbott hided behind a car, but Abbott was killed by HYDRA.
Johnson, realizing Hinton was an Inhuman, ran towards him to save him, but the Extraction Claw kidnapped Hinton. Johnson touched Hinton and she revived a vision of a woman crying, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons holding hands while the snow falls, Lincoln Campbell's face is covered in blood, her fighting HYDRA guards in a room, Phil Coulson shooting at her and Hinton at a rooftop dying. HYDRA escaped with Hinton and Johnson was shocked of what she had seen.
The team returned to the Playground where Johnson explained her visions. They began discussing how they could try and get ahead of the vision and change the future, but Fitz insisted that it was a fixed point in time which could not be altered no matter what they did. Coulson suggested that they ensure that Johnson would not leave the Playground in order to change the course of the future. Instead, Coulson suggested Melinda May would go to save Hinton, since she had not appeared in Johnson's vision. Johnson disagreed and said she was meant to save Hinton, but Coulson's decision was final.
Johnson gave details of the location of the battle to Fitz and Simmons, and they used S.H.I.E.L.D. services to find it. May entered the room and demeaned they would not use all of them. Simmons explained that she and May used some of the services to find Lash. Johnson saw the women she had seen in her vision. She was Hinton's wife and she told Johnson about Hinton's past, his power and that everyone touching him would see someone's death.
May approached Johnson and asked her to help her prepare the battle. With the help of Fitz, Simmons and Campbell, she began training May undergo her mission as fast as possible in order to change the vision's outcome. Johnson made sure the room was laid out as accurately as possible to the vision she had had the agents acted as the guards who needed to be taken out. Eventually May managed to beat the time limit. They found the building where Hinton was held, which was owned by Transia Corporation. As Coulson gave his last orders to May when suddenly the alarms in the base went off, telling them that there was an intruder. Andrew Garner was brought into the base and explained that Lash was taking over and he wanted to say goodbye to May.
Coulson urged May to stay with Garner since she would not see him again. May disagreed, claiming Garner was a killer, so Johnson said she would go. At first, Coulson disagreed, but Johnson explained that since Bobbi Morse had left, she was their best agent who could save Hilton, and Coulson could stay in the base to change the outcome. Coulson agreed and accompanied her to a Quinjet. He asked her to go back safe and accidentally called her "Skye."
==== Battle at the Transia Building ====
: "But now I'm afraid that she could grow up to be like me. So she will always need protection. I was hoping you could help.""Yes. I'll protect her, I promise. Always."
: ―Charles Hinton and Daisy Johnson[src]
Johnson arrived at Transia Corporation building and entered the building. She went to a room and took a deep breath before entering the room and fighting the HYDRA agents. After she knocked them out she looked at a one-way mirror. Phil Coulson suddenly appeared and pulled his gun. At first, Johnson thought he aimed at her but he shot at the mirror and killed the HYDRA agent behind it. Coulson told her she needed to go to the rooftop and rescue Charles Hinton from there. Johnson asked what he was going to do and to her surprise, he told her he was going after Grant Ward.
Johnson arrived at the rooftop and saw Hinton brought to a helicopter, when suddenly Gideon Malick hit her with the Transia Corporation Exoskeleton. Johnson tired to use her power against him but she missed. Malick punched her several times until Hinton touched him. As Malick chucked him, Johnson used her power to flip him, destroying the exoskeleton. Hinton fell next to her and Johnson said she thought she was meant to save him, to which Hinton was happy to know he had changed to future.
Johnson brought him his bird made of wood he had mad, and Hinton said he made it for his daughter. He told her he was afraid her Inhumans power would turn to be horrific. He asked Johnson to protect her in the future so Johnson agreed to help her. Johnson accidentally touch Hinton and saw another vision of a S.H.I.E.L.D. who dies in an explosion inside a Quinjet in space. Hinton apologized and died.
==== Secrets Revealed ====
: "There's something I have to tell you. I got another glimpse into the future. And I don't know when, but someone on our team is gonna die."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Lincoln Campbell[src]
Back at the Playground, Johnson was with Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons and Alphonso Mackenzie in the lab and examined the skeletons they had founded in Transia Corporation. They learned that Hive had returned from Maveth inside Grant Ward's corpse. Johnson and the others were called for a meeting with Phil Coulson to discuss what they had witnessed at the Transia Corporation. They discussed how the being they had encountered was not Ward, although Johnson said he was creepy as him, and set up a plan to defeat their enemy. Johnson and Lincoln Campbell, however, were given their own mission which Campbell would take charge of to find a former ally of his.
While on board the Quinjet, Johnson was thinking about the last vision she had seen in Transia Corporation building. Campbell explained that the Inhuman they were going to meet had never been granted powers while he was at Afterlife, explaining that during his time at Afterlife, JT James had been caught stealing by Jiaying and was banished without powers while ranting about an Inhuman who could raise the dead. Johnson was warned by Campbell about James.
Johnson and Campbell soon tracked down James in South Dakota where he was living in a hut surrounded by barbed wire. James greeted them on a loud speaker and rudely told him to leave. They entered and James stepped out with a rifle and warned them not to take another step as they would regret it, Johnson did step closer and accidentally stepped on a land-mine which James had placed down. Although Campbell insisted he was not there to fight, James claimed he had been waiting for Jiaying to send someone after him, although he'd always assumed it would be Gordon, clearly unaware of their deaths.
Johnson used a shockwave to push the land-mine in place while she and Campbell stepped away to safety until they dived back to avoid the explosion. James continued to mock them, Johnson responded by sending a shockwave through the ground which caused all his land-mines to exploded at the same time. Furious at the attack, James grabbed his gun only for Campbell to fire a blast of electricity at him which sent James flying backwards and knocked him out. Johnson and Campbell then took James inside his hut and laid him on his sofa, waiting for him to wake up so he could be questioned.
When James finally awoke Campbell told him they only needed information about what he had stolen from Afterlife and what he knew about Hive. Johnson told him that Jiaying was dead and they were now working for S.H.I.E.L.D. but James still refused to give up any information in exchange for nothing, so for Johnson surprise, Campbell revealed that he had brought one of the Terrigen Crystals and offered it in exchange for what they wanted, promising to give James powers. James revealed to them that he had stolen a Kree Orb, which he explained that Hive had stolen while battling the Kree Empire with his army of Inhumans, telling them that he believed that Jiaying had no right to keep this information from them. When James demanded the Crystal, Campbell stole the Orb and threw it to Johnson. As Johnson and Campbell were leaving, James reminded told Johnson that Campbell had almost killed his last girlfriend.
Back on the Quinjet, Johnson demanded an explanation from Campbell about what James had said about almost killing his girlfriend, threatening to end their relationship if he was not honest. Campbell relented and told her how before undergoing Terrigenesis he had tried to fill his emptiness with alcohol and during one night of rage and drinking, he had driven his car with his girlfriend beside it and crashed into a telephone pole, nearly killing her before he was found by Gordon. Campbell apologized for not telling the whole truth and promised that he would never hurt her. Johnson then told Campbell that Charles Hinton had given her a vision of the future and that one member of their team was going to die soon, but she did not know who or how. As they prepared to leave and return to the Playground, suddenly they received a message from a wounded Melinda May that R. Giyera had hijacked Zephyr One. Knowing that they had to do something, although Johnson's feared, they decided it was time to bring together the Secret Warriors to save their teammates from HYDRA.
=== Hive's Campaign ===
==== Retaking of Zephyr One ====
: "I have to get back to the base. They have something we need."
: ―Daisy Johnston to Hive[src]
Once the Secret Warriors was on board, Johnson ordered the Quinjet to fly to Schoonebeek Oil Field, HYDRA's base. There, she split her team, sending Joey Gutierrez and Elena Rodriguez to find Zephyr One and free it while she hacked HYDRA's computer system. However, as she worked, Johnson was confronted by Hive. Shocked to see the dark Inhuman, she did not react in time as Hive infected her with his powers. Immediately, Johnson felt as if she had filled an emptiness inside her, believing that Hive could give her the family she had always longed for and wanting nothing more than to serve him. Johnson told Hive of the Kree Orb in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s possession, and he ordered her to retrieve it and bring it to him. With her new mission, Johnson returned to her team in time to stop R. Giyera from killing Gutierrez. She joined the Secret Warriors and the rescued S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and escaped the HYDRA base, returning to the Playground to follow her new orders.
==== Betraying Her Allies ====
: "Daisy, he's using you! You're... You're sick!""No. I'm happier than I've ever been. You get it. You've felt an emptiness your entire life, like me. We've tried to fill it, but it never works. I found the answer and it's beautiful."
: ―Lincoln Campbell and Daisy Johnson[src]
Lincoln Campbell had captured Gideon Malick during the operation; Phil Coulson interrogated him, and he gave up the locations of every single HYDRA base he was aware of. Shortly after this, Johnson entered the interrogation room, having been ordered to kill Malick. Malick did not even resist, knowing that this had been inevitable, and Johnson fired a powerful shockwave that crushed Malick to death. To cover up the cause of death, Johnson destroyed the body with a bomb. Coulson realized that one of the Inhumans at the Playground had been infected by Hive; as a result, he ordered the base locked down. Knowing Coulson would determine the traitor eventually, Johnson framed Campbell, blacking out the base in an imitation of his powers and planting the Kree Orb in his locker.
Once S.H.I.E.L.D. had imprisoned Campbell and all the Inhumans and released the base from lockdown, Coulson told her he disband the Secret Warriors. Johnson managed to sneak out of the room and stole the Kree Orb and many Terrigen Crystals to bring to Hive. She visited Campbell in the Containment Module and tried to convince him to run away with her. When Campbell refused, Johnson revealed that she had been infected, infuriating Campbell, who tried to reason with Johnson. Unable to resist Hive's sway, Johnson ignored Campbell and left the room. As she left the base to return to Hive, Johnson caused a powerful earthquake, leaving the base temporarily crippled.
==== Kidnapping of Holden Radcliffe ====
: "We don't want to hurt you any of you. But we will. This is your last warning. Next time, I snap your neck."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Leo Fitz[src]
Johnson went to her favorite place where Hive waited for her. They discussed why she had enjoyed the spot and Johnson told him that she was a different person now while Hive told her that Grant Ward was fond of her, despite Johnson insisting that she was glad he was dead. Johnson told Hive that being under his control had finally filled the emptiness within her.
Once Johnson had shown Hive the Kree Orb and Terrigen Crystals she had stolen, they discussed if S.H.I.E.L.D. would come looking for her, Johnson told him that Phil Coulson believed that she needed protecting and did not know how strong she really was. Johnson told Hive about the emptiness she had felt her whole life and about Jiaying and Calvin Zabo. Hive explained that they were connected now and they were going to end the war that the humans had started and turn Earth into the peaceful home that the Inhumans deserved. Johnson then rested her head on Hive's shoulder as he held her close.
Johnson and Hive first went to Alisha Whitley, whom they knew would be targeted by Coulson, and left her doubles to ambush Lincoln Campbell and the rest of the team sent to protect her. With Whitley by their side, Johnson and Hive then went to speak to JT James, who mocked Johnson and questioned if she had broken up with Campbell. Hive then revealed himself and demanded the rest of the Kree Orb; when James refused they dropped a Terrigen Crystal, which filled the room with Terrigen Mist and forced him to undergo Terrigenesis. James emerged from his cocoon with the power to create fireballs, so Hive used his power to tame James's suffering and put him under his control. Johnson helped Hive to find a device buried under James' house which Hive said it was dangerous to him.
Johnson went with Hive's team to Bucharest to kidnap Holden Radcliffe. Johnson broke into his lab where Leo Fitz was present. After Whitley took Radcliffe, Johnson used her powers to choke Fitz and said that although she cared about her friends in S.H.I.E.L.D., she would kill them if they would come after her. She also warned him about someone in S.H.I.E.L.D. that would die. She left him and returned to Hive. Later, Johnson came with Hive and his team to Union City which he owned.
==== Mack Attack ====
: "First, S.H.I.E.L.D. rescues me from the Rising Tide, and then from my admittedly not-so-great parents, and now, once again, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s rallied the troops to save poor Daisy.""Because you're sick. That... thing is a parasite. It's messing with your head.""That's what S.H.I.E.L.D.'s been doing. Look at us, Mack! You were a mechanic, I was a hacker, and now, s-somehow, we're soldiers?"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
In Union City, Johnson and Hive took a walk down the street. They discussed their respective creators, Johnson's being S.H.I.E.L.D. and Hive's being the Kree. Shortly following, Hive brought in the remainder of the HYDRA inner circle to be test subjects in the rebooted Kree experiments. Johnson and Hive watched as Radcliffe's experiment melted the faces off the test subjects. Radcliffe realized that he needed living Kree DNA in order to make the experiment work, much to Hive's disappointment. While Hive and Radcliffe attempted to figure out a new way to make the experiment work, Johnson and Hellfire drank beer and played pinball. Eventually, Hellfire questioned how Johnson could still love Lincoln Campbell, even though he was helping S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attempts to stop Hive and the swayed Inhumans.
Johnson, under Hive's influence, believed that she could save everyone at S.H.I.E.L.D. by turning them into swayed Inhumans. Johnson rejoined Hive as they once again discussed their creators, and whether or not Johnson could destroy what created her: S.H.I.E.L.D. Johnson told Hive her plan to save her friends, but Hive questioned what she would do if they did not comply; Johnson responded that she would rip their hearts out. The two heard an explosion, and Johnson questioned if it was S.H.I.E.L.D.; however, Hive responded that it was in fact the Kree, whom he had summoned so that he could meet Radcliffe's requirements of Kree blood. Johnson baited one of the Kree Reapers into the experiment room using her powers. At first, Johnson was battered by the Reaper, thrown into a gurney by the alien's superior strength. However, Johnson eventually won the fight by breaking most of the bones in the Kree's body, and then ordering Radcliffe to drain it.
Just as the drain begins, Alphonso Mackenzie arrived to try and save Johnson. Johnson continued to insist that she did not need to be saved, taking emotional jabs at Mackenzie and the rest of her former team. Eventually, Mackenzie realized there was nothing he can do to save her at the moment, and used a Splinter Bomb to destroy the Kree body. This infuriated Johnson, as she began to unleash her martial arts and powers onto Mackenzie. Though Mackenzie refused to fight back, Johnson continued her attack, furious that she had failed Hive and that Mackenzie had been the cause. Eventually, Johnson pinned Mackenzie on the ground and attempts to rip his heart out. However, Melinda May arrived and shot Johnson in the arm, saving Mackenzie.
Johnson regained consciousness, with Hive scolding her for being unable to secure enough Kree blood for the experiment. Johnson responded by reminding Hive that she had Kree blood running through her veins, and offered to drain herself for the experiment to work.
==== Saved by Lash ====
: "Ragtag base, come in. This is Agent Daisy Johnson. I'm coming home. Repeat, I'm coming home."
: ―Daisy Jonson[src]
Johnson hacked S.H.I.E.L.D. and watched video feed of Lincoln Campbell while her blood was being drained. Hive entered the room, and the two discussed Campbell until Leo Fitz discovered Johnson's hack and blocked her from viewing. Johnson's blood continued to drain until Holden Radcliffe entered to check on her. Johnson was allowed to rest while Hive and Radcliffe continued their experiments.
Seeking to reach Campbell once more and convince him to join her and Hive, Johnson tried once more to hack S.H.I.E.L.D., succeeding and once more seeing Campbell. To her shock, he spoke to the room, asking if she was watching. Johnson immediately hijacked the room's television and informed Campbell that she was. Once she had fed the camera a loop of Campbell sleeping, Johnson took over the video feed and was able to speak to Campbell. Johnson tried again to reach Campbell, wanting so much to have him join Hive that she lied to him, telling him that if he left the Playground, she would meet him and they would go away together. Campbell agreed, and Johnson began planning his escape from the Playground.
Johnson formed a plan for Campbell to leave; first instructing him to knock out his guard and take his earpiece so that she could advise him continually. Once Campbell was free of the Containment Module, she took him through the base to the Quinjet dock. Johnson lost contact with Campbell briefly, but regained it as Campbell reached the Quinjet and turned off the earpiece. Johnson turned to see Hive behind her; she informed him that Campbell was coming. Though Johnson felt guilty for lying to Campbell, Hive reassured her before taking her to see the newly transformed Primitives. Hive explained that to make more Primitives, Johnson would be drained of the rest of her blood, to which Johnson agreed, knowing that serving the dark Inhuman was all she wished to do.
As Johnson was being escorted away by Radcliffe, she realized that Hive was in trouble; knowing he had gone to welcome Campbell, she went to find him. Once she reached Hive Johnson was shocked to see Lash instead of Campbell. Seeing her leader threatened by the monstrous Inhuman, Johnson fired a shockwave, only to find that she was weak from the draining that it had no effect on Lash. Collapsing, Johnson could only watch as Lash came towards her. However, Lash had no intention of killing her; his energy blast only served to draw Hive's parasites from her body, leaving her free from the dark Inhuman's control.
Lash picked Johnson up and carried her to the Quinjet, telling her that she was now free and could return to S.H.I.E.L.D., but as he lay her down, Hellfire arrived and used his flaming chain to kill Lash. Johnson sat with Lash as he died, comforting him in the knowledge that he had saved her. Despite her weakened state, Johnson managed to fly the Quinjet away from Hive and returned to S.H.I.E.L.D.. She was taken into custody as the Quinjet touched down and brought to the lab for medical testing, where Jemma Simmons declared she was free from Hive's control.
==== Revenge on Hive ====
: "You can keep your forgiveness and your pity because I shouldn't have either... or your friendship.""Daisy... you were brainwashed.""So was Ward. We make the perfect pair."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
Johnson still recovering got an update from Jemma Simmons, Phil Coulson, and then Alphonso Mackenzie came to talk to her telling her that Hive has been successfully captured. While Simmons remained somewhat neutral towards her, Coulson and Mackenzie attempted to convince her that what she did to the S.H.I.E.L.D. team was not her fault. Even so, Johnson still believed that she needed to be locked up indefinitely. Johnson later found out that Hive had escaped with the help of former S.H.I.E.L.D. agents now turned into Primitives by R. Giyera and Hellfire. Johnson realized that she had told Hive everything about S.H.I.E.L.D., including the capabilities of the Zephyr One, which Hive could now use to distribute the Inhuman gas. Johnson activated the elevator underneath the containment module, bringing her into the Zephyr One cargo bay.
Johnson exited the Containment Module onto the cargo bay of the Zephyr One, calling out to Hive who was still feeling the effects of the memory machine. Hive turned around as he realizes why Johnson came to confront him. She confirmed this by kneeling on the floor and begging him to take her back under his control. As Hive attempted to infect Johnson's mind again, he was taken aback muttering that something was wrong. Johnson questions what S.H.I.E.L.D. had done to him, but Hive replied that it was not S.H.I.E.L.D., but Lash who had made her mind impervious to him.
Johnson, filled with rage began causing an earthquake, before beginning to focus her powers onto Hive. Johnson and Hive began fighting all over the hanger, with Johnson using a combination of her S.H.I.E.L.D. skills and her powers. Eventually, Johnson got a knife and begins stabbing Hive multiple times, commenting that she wanted him to suffer. Hive realized that Johnson herself was suffering, and that the knife was doing nothing to him. Johnson dropped the knife and began using her powers to break multiple bones in Hive's body. However, Hive simply stood up and told her that bones were not what supports his structure, but multiple parts working as one. At this moment, R. Giyera and Hellfire arrived on an old HYDRA ship along with the warhead. This distracted Johnson long enough for Hive to render her unconscious. Hive put her in the Containment Module and used brute force to fly the Zephyr One out of the Playground.
==== Escape from the Containment Module ====
: "Did I ruin this? Us?""I just think... we need to work on ourselves before we can talk about us.""Yeah. The stuff that I did, Lincoln... I can't live with it."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell[src]
Johnson awoke to find herself trapped inside the containment module, guarded by a Primitive, which Melinda May took out from under the floor of the Zephyr One. May and Leo Fitz climbed out of the floor and Fitz began to open the containment module but Johnson stopped him, as she did not want to be freed. May was fed up with Johnson's stubbornness and reminded her that Andrew Garner died for her, and said that she could either live in a box for the rest of her life or help them take down Hive. Just as May was about to get sentimental with Johnson, she was knocked out by R. Giyera.
Giyera took an automatic weapon and aimed it at Fitz, so Johnson tried to distract him by reminding him that they share a connection, but Giyera knew that was no longer true. Fitz told Giyera that he had a hidden weapon on the Zephyr, and then he shot Giyera three times in the chest with a Cloaked Gun, much to both Johnson and Giyera's surprise. Fitz then freed Johnson from the containment module and they all moved to another room, where Fitz noted that they were at a high altitude, so he covered Johnson in his S.H.I.E.L.D. jacket. As May and Fitz discussed their next move, Johnson found the necklace from her vision in the pocket of the jacket. In this moment, Johnson realized her destiny.
Johnson, Fitz and May were reunited with Lincoln Campbell, Phil Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie and Jemma Simmons who boarded the Zephyr via Quinjet. When Campbell was injured, they brought him to the cargo bay, where Simmons assessed he would live. Johnson asked if she had ruined things between Campbell and herself, and Campbell replied that they needed to take time to work on themselves before they can work on their relationship. Johnson, knowing her fate, revealed her plann to Cambell of sending the warhead to outer space using the autopilot function of the Quinjet, sacrificing herself in the process. She then left before Campbell could stop her.
==== Lincoln Campbell's Sacrifice ====
: "I can't take it if you... You can't do this!""I wouldn't have thought so either, but here I am.""No, you ca... you ca... you can't do this. Not like this. I can't just... I can't just say goodbye. I... I have too much I want to say."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Lincoln Campbell[src]
As Johnson moved the warhead from the command center to the Quinjet, she was greeted by Hive. With the warhead securely strapped into the Quinjet, Johnson decided that her purpose as an Inhuman was to sacrifice herself to take down Hive and save the world. As the Quinjet door began to close, Hive reminded her that Grant Ward could manually take control of the Quinjet.
Johnson saw a blood trail on the floor of the Quinjet leading to the pilot's seat and looked up to see Lincoln Campbell. Campbell explained that he had fried the manual controls and, before Johnson could say anything, Campbell used his powers to push her out of the Quinjet as the door closed. Campbell released the Quinjet from the Zephyr One, sending it on a one way trip to space. Johnson, realizing what Campbell had just done, ran back to the command center and begged him not to continue with his plan. The team, who had defeated the Primitives, also arrived at the command center at this time. Campbell stated that this was his purpose, to save the girl he loves and the world at the same time. The communications between Johnson and Campbell ceased just as the Quinjet hit space and as Campbell was trying to tell Johnson that he loved her.
Johnson turned around and begged Phil Coulson to bring the Quinjet back, as it was unfair that Campbell was paying for her mistakes. Coulson replied that Campbell was paying for all of their mistakes, and that it was both not possible and not what Campbell wanted. On one of the screens, the team in the command center watched as the Quinjet exploded, and Johnson collapsed in tears.
=== Outlaw Once Again ===
==== Becoming Quake ====
: "I tried to take the blame for everything not too long ago. I dyed my hair. I ran away. I thought that separating myself from the team would help me protect it, but in truth, I kind of just lost myself."
: ―Quake to Leo Fitz[src]
Several months after Lincoln Campbell's self sacrifice, Johnson had already left S.H.I.E.L.D., and went on a vigilante quest which saw her topple banks to donate illegal funds to charities and save several lives in various disasters. These actions eventually led to Johnson earning herself the name Quake. Johnson was wanted by authorities for destruction of many buildings, and they wished to register her under the Sokovia Accords which she had rejected. Her activities as a vigilante made people question the effectiveness of the Sokovia Accords.
==== Helping Yo-Yo Rodriguez ====
: "What the hell are you doing here? S.H.I.E.L.D. assigned you to go after that weapon?""No, they assigned me to paperwork. S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't know about this. I'm here for Ramon."
: ―Quake and Yo-Yo Rodriguez[src]
Quake eventually tracked a deal between the Watchdogs and Victor Ramon, for a 0-8-4 weapon. Quake traveled to Baltimore, Maryland where she found the Watchdogs, Ramon and Yo-Yo Rodriguez captured, while the Alpha Dog called on his men to kill the Inhumans. Quake then knocked Ramon out and saved Rodriguez, together they fought the Watchdogs and discovered that S.H.I.E.L.D. did not actually know that Rodriguez was there and that she was there to capture Ramon.
Remembering Ramon had murdered Francisco Rodriguez during the mission when she had first encountered Rogriguez, Quake accepted this reasoning and then told Rodriguez to go after Ramon, who was attempting to escape during the chaos. To give her cover, Quake continued to fire her shockwaves from her Quake Gauntlets while Rodriguez ran out the room and after Ramon. While Rodriguez had her showdown against Ramon, Quake fought against all of the remaining Watchdogs, using both her Inhuman shockwave powers and fighting skills to overpower all of them.
Quake defeated the Watchdogs and when Rodriguez soon returned with the 0-8-4 and with Ramon now dead. While they were speaking, a S.H.I.E.L.D. Quinjet arrived and Rodriguez told Quake that Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie were tracking her powers in order to locate her. When Rodriguez offered her help her vigilante quest, Quake declared that one Inhuman fugitive is enough, but that she would find Rodriguez if she needs help during her missions, later asking for some Rapid Bone-Healing Pills. Quake left the scene before she could be found by any of her former friends.
==== Keeping a Promise ====
: "I actually wanted to introduce you to a friend of mine. He has a practice near here. I think you'd get along. He likes animals, too.""You're too kind.""I'm just keeping a promise."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Polly Hinton[src]
Her friends and allies Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie tried to capture Johnson; they managed to catch a glimpse of her, as she was meeting with the family of Charles Hinton. Polly Hinton thanked Johnson for the money, some of which she stole from a bank in Los Angeles that she ultimately destroyed, and help that she had provided for them, with Johnson explaining that she was keeping a promise. Johnson knelt down and gave Robin Hinton the robin that Charles had carved.
Johnson told Polly that she had a veterinarian friend that she would like them to meet. Johnson decided to leave the conversation there, knowing that S.H.I.E.L.D. was closed on her tail and walked into an empty alleyway. Johnson used her powers to escape as she fired a shockwave underneath her feet and launched herself onto a nearby rooftop. Coulson and Mackenzie, who knew that they now had little chance of finding her, decided to continue their search another time, despite the new Director Jeffrey Mace ordering them to stop due to their constant failure to find and capture Quake.
==== Encountering Ghost Rider ====
: "Ghost Rider. You must not be from around here.""Do you know where I can find him?"
: ―Felix and Quake[src]
Quake confronted the Aryan Brotherhood who had stolen some mysterious cargo. She bested M. Scott in a fight, only for him to ask for her help to her confusion. Suddenly, Quake witnessed as a mysterious car charged at the criminals, surviving a hit from a rocket launcher, and a man with a flaming skull exited the vehicle, to then brutally kill them before leaving. When sirens were heard, Quake made her escape from the scene.
After interrogating Scott at the hospital, Johnson met up with Yo-Yo Rodriguez, who supplied her with Rapid Bone-Healing Pills from S.H.I.E.L.D.. Johnson then went into town to learn about Ghost Rider. There, she saw graffiti on the wall made by Felix of the Rider. Felix explained a bit about Ghost Rider telling her of how he killed two more criminals last night. When Johnson asked for more information about Ghost Rider, Felix correctly assumed she wasn't from the neighborhood.
==== Duel at El Monte Junk and Salvage ====
: "You don't get to decide who deserves to die.""I'm not the one who decides.""Do it. I deserve it. Do it."
: ―Quake and Ghost Rider[src]
Johnson continued her investigation until she met Robbie Reyes at El Monte Junk and Salvage and said she was looking for man who owned a 1969 Dodge Charger. Reyes showed Johnson to the car, but when she realised he was the man she was looking for, she threw him backwards with her powers. Reyes then grabbed a pole and lit it on fire, and the two faced off. As they fought, Johnson confronted Reyes on the people he killed, but he revealed they deserved punishment, before transforming into Ghost Rider. Johnson soon found herself pinned, and when Ghost Rider stood over her, she told him to kill her, but he decided to let her live, and left.
==== Tracking Ghost Rider ====
: "You think I'm afraid to die?""I think you want it. No doubt. You got a death wish."
: ―Quake and Robbie Reyes[src]
The next day, Johnson tracked down Robbie Reyes and observed him helping his younger brother Gabe, realizing that Reyes had someone he loved and was close to. Quake followed him to Canelo's Auto and Body, and interrogated the people who worked with Reyes, pretending to know him as a former classmate. Johnson justified her presence there by saying that her van had burst into flame the night before. While Reyes examined her van, Quake talked with him about his victims who were not totally innocent. However, Reyes threatened her and ordered her to leave. As he did not find any problem on Johnson's van, she used her powers to do some damage on it in order to stay there a bit longer.
They discussed about the Watchdogs but Reyes denied the fact that being Inhuman, although Johnson found hard to believe that he actually sold his soul to the devil. After Canelo left them alone and Quake angered Reyes by mentioning his brother Gabe, the two vigilantes began to fight. Very weakened by her injuries Quake was knocked out. She woke up tied up to a chair, with Reyes searching any proof of guilt in her belongings. When Quake mentioned the name of Momentum Labs, Reyes quickly left after gagging her. Quake painfully broke free of her ties and followed him by jumping onto his car. However, Reyes managed to get rid of her.
Quake went to Momentum Labs, where she found Alphonso Mackenzie and Leo Fitz while they were confronting the ghost Frederick along Ghost Rider. After Ghost Rider killed Frederick, Mackenzie aimed at him, but Quake told her former colleague to let him go. Quake was brought aboard a Quinjet and Mackenzie banded her broken arm. Mackenzie figured out that Quake was being supplied medicines by Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Fitz angrily confronted her about leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. Quake then left and she was found by Reyes, who told him that he thought he was the one linking all the recent deaths. Therefore, Quake got in the Hell Charger to investigate the matter with him.
==== Los Angeles Blackout ====
: "You know what happens to people during a blackout? They think they can get away with whatever they want.""That nothing can stop them."
: ―Robbie Reyes and Daisy Johnson[src]
Ghost Rider intended to visit his uncle Eli Morrow in South Ridge Penitentiary and Quake revealed that he knew Morrow had been charged with manslaughter. The conversation was, however, interrupted when a blackout secretly orchestrated by the Watchdogs occurred in Los Angeles. Ghost Rider and Quake drove further and Quake tried to determine the true nature of her new ally. They found Robbie Reyes' little brother Gabe moments before he was attacked by thugs.
Ghost Rider and Quake engaged the fight against the thugs and when one of them held a gun at Gabe, Quake used her powers to take him down. Once the thugs were defeated, Quake and the Reyes brothers left for the Reyes Residence. Being wounded since she was using her powers without her Gauntlets, Quake asked Ghost Rider how he managed things when he got hurt while chasing criminals, but he told her that his powers were enough to make him heal fast. Ghost Rider then left the Residence, leaving Quake with Gabe after warning Quake that Gabe did not know about Ghost Rider.
Quake and Gabe discussed about the lives of the Reyes brothers and Gabe voiced his worries about what his brother was up to when he went out at night. When the power came back in Los Angeles, Gabe told Quake that he knew who she really was and that although he would not tell anyone about it, he did not want Quake to be near his brother out of fear that she could have wrong influence on him. Therefore, Quake agreed to leave the Reyes Residence and returned to her personal quest.
==== Hellfire's Betrayal ====
: "You really hate yourself that much?""I don't hate myself. I hate all of us."
: ―Quake and Hellfire[src]
Quake kept fighting against the Watchdogs. During one confrontation, she managed to steal a list of some Inhumans targeted by the hate group they had obtained by hacking into S.H.I.E.L.D. servers. In dire need of medical attention because of the wound she got in the process and of the assistance of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Quake tricked Jemma Simmons into visiting an apartment where Quake awaited her. After Simmons tended to Quake's wounds, Quake explained that the Watchdogs were tapping into S.H.I.E.L.D. servers and that she needed access as well. Simmons reluctantly agreed to help her.
Thanks to Simmons' high position within S.H.I.E.L.D., Quake got access to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s files. Quake and Simmons suspected that Hellfire was the Watchdogs' next target and decided to take him into safety. They went to Primed and Ready Fireworks where Hellfire was working and convinced him to follow them. Hellfire told them to wait for him in the storage boxes. However, when Hellfire finally arrived, he revealed that he was actually working with the Watchdogs in their extermination of Inhumans as he was disgusted by them, including himself. Soon, Quake and Simmons were surrounded by hostile Watchdogs.
Quake used her powers to take their enemies down and she and Simmons hid in one storage box. Hellfire found them and intended to strike them with a flaming chain, but he was stopped by Ghost Rider, who had come to the store along with Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie. While Ghost Rider fought Hellfire, Quake and Simmons found Coulson and Mackenzie and exited the store right before the fireworks were lit on fire, causing the place to explode. Quake went to the Zephyr One with Ghost Rider. Coulson came to them and requested their assistance for finding the Darkhold. Although Quake was reluctant as she was keen on keeping attacking the Watchdogs, she eventually agreed to help Coulson.
==== South Ridge Penitentiary Riot ====
: "That was suicidal and stupid.""You weren't supposed to come back for me.""We just saved your life!""You risked your own! I never asked for that."
: ―Melinda May and Quake[src]
Though she agreed to help S.H.I.E.L.D., Quake still insisted on remaining alone and isolated herself in the Zephyr One. She was joined by Ghost Rider and told him that he should trust S.H.I.E.L.D. Later, Quake was informed that Phil Coulson and Melinda May where trapped in South Ridge Penitentiary, where Lucy Bauer had infected the staff who suffered from demon psychosis. Therefore, Quake joined an assault team with Ghost Rider and Alphonso Mackenzie to help Coulson and May and find Eli Morrow, who they needed to find the Darkhold.
To that end, Quake equipped herself with new gauntlets. However, she was forbidden from using her powers during the mission to avoid aggravating the skeletal injuries resulting from her not using her gauntlets as a vigilante. Along with Agents Prince and Davis, Quake found Coulson and May. Quake, Coulson and May then made their way through the prison to get to Morrow's cell. However, they were stopped by Bauer who opened the cells' doors, releasing the prisoners and causing a riot. They fled and reached the prison's cafeteria where Quake chose to remain behind against Coulson's and May's will as she had discovered that many prisoners were Watchdogs recruits, meaning she had a personal reason to fight them.
Quake fiercely fought against the prisoners, taking down several of them before being outnumbered. As one of them was choking her to death, Coulson and May returned and rescued her, although Quake made it clear that she did not wanted them to. Since Leo Fitz told them that Mackenzie had found Morrow, they decided to leave the prison. Once outside, however, they discovered that Morrow was missing as he had been kidnapped by Bauer.
Back to the Playground, Quake remained alone in a Quinjet. May found her and told her that her whole plan of trying to get away from her friends for their own safety and risking her life was pointless, as Coulson would never give up on her and Lincoln Campbell would not have approved her decision. Quake replied that she only agreed to help S.H.I.E.L.D. until they found the Darkhold and that she would leave after that. Once May departed, however, Quake burst into tears.
==== Good Samaritan Story ====
: "I begged God, I begged the universe, I begged anyone who would listen, that you be spared. I swore that I'd give anything to save you.""Don't stop there. Then what?""Then I hit the street... and I died."
: ―Robbie Reyes and Daisy Johnson[src]
Quake left to pick up Gabe Reyes and took him to the Zephyr One so he could be reunited with his brother Robbie and pretended that Robbie was actually a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, much to Gabe's amazement. Quake and Robbie also revealed that Eli Morrow had been abducted and that Gabe had been taken to the Zephyr One for his own safety.
As Director Jeffrey Mace joined the Zephyr One to arrest Quake and Ghost Rider, Alphonso Mackenzie instructed them and Gabe to go into the plane's Containment Module, which was taken down right beneath the plane's floor so that Mace could not find them. Gabe asked them why they had to hide from the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. if Robbie was a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Quake tried to explain the situation, but Robbie decided that he could not lie to his brother and told him the full story of how he became the brutal vigilante known as Ghost Rider. Quake carefully listened to his story as well.
However, they were ultimately found by Mace, who had the Containment Module taken back on the Zephyr. Upon hearing that S.H.I.E.L.D. had intel about his uncle, Robbie transformed into Ghost Rider and Quake could not keep Gabe from witnessing the transformation. As Ghost Rider broke free of the Containment Module and began fighting Mace, Quake tried to take Gabe away, but Gabe insisted on staying and seeing the fight. After Gabe managed to calm his brother down, he asked Quake to take him somewhere else on the plane. As S.H.I.E.L.D. stormed the Roxxon Power Plant, Quake remained in the Zephyr One to ensure communications. However, Quake was unable to hack into the plant's systems since they were not connected to the network. The more the S.H.I.E.L.D. team progressed into the plant, the more the communications were unstable and Quake ultimately lost contact with her colleagues, leaving them to face Morrow's betrayal on their own.
==== Keeping Faith ====
: "You really think he's not gone?""I know the feeling when someone's gone, and I don't feel that now."
: ―Gabe Reyes and Quake[src]
Quake watched the footage of Leo Fitz, Phil Coulson and Robbie Reyes vanishing in the air after Eli Morrow activated his Quantum Particle Generator. However, she refused to believe that they were dead, recalling all the strange events they had lived or heard about, be it the Resurrection of Phil Coulson, the Rescue of Jemma Simmons from Maveth or the existence of Ghost Rider. Quake suggested to call Jemma Simmons for help, to which Jeffrey Mace agreed.
Quake comforted Gabe Reyes following the loss of his brother, telling Gabe that Robbie loved him and that Gabe was what kept Robbie grounded. Then, they watched in astonishment as Alphonso Mackenzie abruptly left the Zephyr One with his motor bike. Deciding to figure out what was happening, Quake took the Hell Charger and chased Mackenzie in Los Angeles, unaware that the Spirit of Vengeance had taken Mackenzie's body and that Robbie was sitting next to her in his transdimensional state, although she somehow felt his presence.
Following Mackenzie through the city, Quake arrived to the Chinatown Crew Hideout, where she took down several thugs before joining Mackenzie who was talking with Robbie, although Quake could not see the latter. When Quake told Mackenzie to come back with them, she saw her friend turning into Ghost Rider and moving towards her. However, Mackenzie stopped as the Spirit of Vengeance returned into Robbie's body and returned to his normal condition. A worried Quake tried to know what had happened, saying that she had overheard Mackenzie telling that he was suffering. Despite that, Mackenzie reassured her and informed her that Robbie and the Spirit of Vengeance had gone to the Hell Dimension. They then returned to the Playground, where Quake told Coulson and Melinda May about what had happened to Mackenzie and Robbie.
==== Battle with the Chinatown Crew ====
: "The core is useless unless we get the other half properly placed and we manage to get the rest of the gate up in time.""Yeah, we will... barring an earthquake.""Leave those to me, okay?"
: ―Jemma Simmons, Leo Fitz, and Quake[src]
Quake took part in S.H.I.E.L.D.'s final assault against Eli Morrow. She teamed up with Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Ghost Rider as the first strike team, but Rodriguez activated a trap while doing a recon, which caused a massive explosion. Quake helped Rodriguez and took her back to the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agent while Ghost Rider went into the Chinatown Crew Headquarters to face Morrow. Along with Phil Coulson, Quake watched the feed of Ghost Rider's body cam. Thus, she saw the giant Quantum Battery built by Morrow.
When Morrow arrived to confront his nephew, the video feed was cut, prompting Quake to leave and help Reyes. Coulson advised her against it, since they were trying to keep her involvement in the assault undisclosed. Moreover, the team was called back to the Zephyr One by Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz, who explained that Morrow had rigged the Quantum Battery with a Demon Core, which could trigger a nuclear explosion. To avoid such a catastrophe, S.H.I.E.L.D. needed a new plan. While S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Jeffrey Mace explained his plan to Coulson, Quake had Fitz check her gauntlets, which were perfectly adapted to Quake. Fitz also told Quake that they had the proof she was not to blame for the multiple earthquakes recorded around Los Angeles. While discussing with Fitz and Simmons, Quake also learned about the Inhuman Senator Ellen Nadeer was keeping hidden and that Mace knew about it.
The conversation was interrupted when Quake felt another earthquake coming and Fitz figured out that Morrow was somewhat stealing energy from another dimension. Quake confronted Mace about her association with Nadeer. However, Mace rebuffed her and Coulson's critic. In the end, they agreed to let their divergences in opinion aside so that they could stop Morrow. While Coulson confronted Morrow, Quake teamed up with Fitz, Simmons, Holden Radcliffe and Aida to build an Inter-Dimensional Gate right underneath Morrow's battery. Quake's role was to absorb all the earthquakes erupting because of Morrow's actions. She successfully did so, but ended up absorbing much more seismic waves.
In order to release all the seismic energy she had stored, Quake ran out of the building and released the seismic waves, which propelled her high in the sky, well above the buildings. Upon landing, Quake was found by a horde of reporters who harassed her with questions until Mace intervened, officially acknowledging Quake as an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Quake agreed to play along.
=== Returning to S.H.I.E.L.D. ===
==== In from the Cold ====
: "Now that we're all gathered, I'd like to present Agent Johnson with something. Your official lanyard. It's just a shame Agent Koenig couldn't be here.""Level Blue."
: ―Jemma Simmons and Quake[src]
Back to the Playground following S.H.I.E.L.D.'s victory over Eli Morrow and Ghost Rider's disappearance, Quake and Phil Coulson had a talk about the recent events. Quake recognized that she missed some things in S.H.I.E.L.D. and was shocked upon learning that Coulson had actually considered her for becoming the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Quake laughed at the idea, claiming that this would only happen in a comic book version.
Quake went to see her friends in the Playground's common room, witnessing Alphonso Mackenzie's and Yo-Yo Rodriguez's first kiss in the process. Joining her friends, Quake was given a S.H.I.E.L.D. Lanyard, officially becoming a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and celebrating the event with her colleagues. Now back as an agent, Quake had been getting questioned by Jeffrey Mace about her time as a vigilante, leading to Rodriguez decided they get their story straight about what happened with Victor Ramon. Together, they deleted any evidence that would reveal any information they didn't want Mace to know, and Rodriguez gave Quake Peggy Carter's S.H.I.E.L.D. pin, stating that she wasn't giving anything up by signing the Sokovia Accords, but instead gaining a team.
==== Battling the Watchdogs ====
: "You want to tackle problems? The Watchdogs. Enemy number one. I believe they're funded internationally. They have ties to people within the U.S. government."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Jeffrey Mace[src]
Quake and Jemma Simmons discussed the Inhuman Simmons had helped with his Terrigenesis, who happened to be Vijay Nadeer, brother of the anti-S.H.I.E.L.D. and anti-Inhumans Senator Ellen Nadeer. Quake and Simmons inferred that the Senator was hiding her own brother from the public. Later, Burrows joined them and informed Quake that Director Jeffrey Mace wanted to see her. Quake met with Mace in the aftermath of the Battle at the Chinatown Crew Headquarters. Despite their mutual distrust in each other, they agreed to set their disagreements aside and to collaborate in their fight against the Watchdogs.
To that end, Quake told Mace that they had identified Vijay, prompting Mace to plan a rescue mission involving Quake, Simmons and himself. Together, they boarded a Quinjet and discussed their plan, which involved sending Simmons to the Capitol while Quake and Simmons monitored her conversation. The team tracked down a call made by Ellen's assistant Zach Bynum to the Nadeer Residence, where they confronted the Senator and her bodyguards. Quake recognized the weapons carried by the latter, which happened to be standard Watchdogs equipment. As Ellen refused to let the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents search her home, they prepared to leave but heard a gunshot. While Mace and Simmons looked for Vijay, Quake fought against the Watchdogs, overpowering them. Despite their best efforts, however, Vijay refused to follow S.H.I.E.L.D. and remained with his sister.
Quake later journeyed to Sunbury, Pennsylvania, where a public ceremony was held to officially recognize her as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. As Michelle Caldwell, a citizen Quake had saved during the Collapse of the Edison Bridge, expressed her gratitude towards Quake and hugged her, Quake noticed a sniper aiming at Mace. Quake shielded Caldwell while Mace stopped the bullet. As Mace was evacuated, Quake used her powers to defeat the shooter, ex-HYDRA operative Yuri Zaikin.
Quake interrogated Zaikin, but to no avail, although Zaikin warned Quake and Melinda May LMD that the assassination attempt at Sunbury was only the first phase of their plan. Indeed, Quake was informed that the Quinjet carrying Mace, Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie was nowhere to be found. Following a rather unproductive talk with Glenn Talbot, who took the lead on the search, Quake boarded the Zephyr One with May LMD. As Quake did not know about the android's nature, Quake and May's LMD discussed about Coulson and L.O.L.A..
Agent James Davis informed Quake and May LMD that they could not locate the Quinjet they were looking for. Later, they were contacted by Leo Fitz and Simmons who had successfully obtained answers from Zaikin and directed them to West Virginia. However, Quake also learned that Mace was not an Inhuman and that he could not be of help during the upcoming fight. Using the intel, Quake and May LMD managed to rescue Mace, Coulson and Mackenzie from their opponents. Back to the Playground, Quake informed May LMD that they had been called by Coulson in the Director's office.
==== Signing the Sokovia Accords ====
: "With regard to whom I'll help, I'm here for all Americans. But more often than not, Inhumans are left to fend for themselves with few resources.""So Inhumans cause more trouble.""No. Inhumans are more likely the victims of hate crimes, which is not fair. They are our friends, they are our co-workers... our brothers. They all deserve help, wherever they may be."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Ellen Nadeer[src]
Johnson agreed to sign the Sokovia Accords, which Jeffrey Mace called a meeting with his key staff to discuss this. Arriving at Washington, D.C., Johnson joined Mace before a hearing committee to discuss her recent vigilante actions as Quake. Johnson and Mace discussed if she was nervous or not, before she made a comment to him about all his lies about Project Patriot. Johnson and Mace then began to discuss their past, with Mace mentioning her putting on performances to get others to like her during her childhood and likening it to his current situation. They were joined by Nadeer who expressed her surprise at seeing Mace at the meeting before confidently taking her seat.
As the meeting began, Mace listened as Johnson was questioned by Chairman Gene Williams and Senator Maria Nunez until it was Nadeer's turn to speak. Johnson is questioned by Nadeer about protecting Inhumans over average Americans, accusing Inhumans of being the cause of trouble although Johnson insisted they were often the victims, making a subtle reference to Vijay Nadeer. Nadeer questioned what Johnson had done with all of the stolen money and accused her of working against the government, which Johnson struggled to defend, which caused Mace to worry.
Johnson listened as Nadeer accused S.H.I.E.L.D. of still engaging in illegal activities, which General Talbot denied until Nadeer revealed that her men had discovered Phil Coulson and Yo-Yo Rodriguez breaking into her office to install listening devices and had arrested them both. Nadeer made a point that Rodriguez had also signed the Sokovia Accords but had taken part without the approval from the United Nations which went against what the Sokovia Accords stood for. While Johnson watched the situation in horror, Nadeer then accused S.H.I.E.L.D. of being a criminal organization like HYDRA was.
==== Meet the Koenigs ====
: "I can't believe I'm sitting here with Quake! You know, this is... Oh, somebody pinch me.""Sam, stop. We've known each other for three years.""Yeah, I knew Skye, but you're... you're Quake. She's different.""No, she's not. And she doesn't love the name "Quake.""
: ―Sam Koenig and Daisy Johnson[src]
When Billy Koenig was kidnapped, his brother Sam Koenig made contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. and regrouped with them, joining them on the Zephyr One, where he was awestricken by Johnson's presence. Johnson and Sam watched the footage, the latter expressing his intrigue with the former now being a superhero, and they discovered that Leo Babikov, one of the Watchdogs kidnapped Billy.
They learned that Babikov had connections to the group that tried to assassinate Jeffrey Mace, as well as Dimitri Olshenko, making them realize they were working with Ellen Nadeer, going after the Darkhold to eradicate the Inhumans. Sam informed them that LT Koenig was in current possession of the Darkhold, so they went to retrieve her. Johnson and James Davis went to meet with LT, where they saw Thurston Koenig performing, and after a brief altercation, both were brought back to the plane. After learning of Anton Ivanov's involvement, LT revealed that Billy hid the Darkhold in the Labyrinth.
Johnson, Phil Coulson, Melinda May and the Koenig siblings arrived at the Labyrinth to look for the Darkhold. Johnson talked with LT about growing up with her brothers as they waited for the others to retrieve the book. However, the Watchdogs attacked, and May tried to kill Coulson due to her being a Life-Model Decoy. Before she could shoot him, Johnson was able to take down the android, due to her being told by Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons.
==== Fighting Tucker Shockley ====
: "Guess who was seen entering Nadeer's office right before the blast? Cattle-prod enthusiast Tucker Shockley. He was with the Russians who took the Darkhold. And if memory serves, I quaked his ass."
: ―Daisy Johnson[src]
With the Darkhold in the possession of the enemy, Johnson took charge of relocating Inhumans for their protection. Johnson later saw a news report regarding Ellen Nadeer being killed in an explosion, but was certain that it wasn't an Inhuman, and Jeffrey Mace got her ready to investigate the scene.
Arriving at Nadeer's office, Johnson worked with Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons to learn what happened, but were unable to find any remnants of a bomb. Johnson was able to learn that the last person to enter Nadeer's office was Tucker Shockley, who was not identified as one of the victims, so they searched for him with their satellites. They eventually tracked Shockley down, and Johnson led a STRIKE team to apprehend him, which they managed to do with ease, with Johnson knocking him out.
The Watchdogs were brought on board the Zephyr One, and Johnson spoke with Shockley, wanting to know why he blew up Nadeer, but he refused to talk. Johnson quaked Shockley, and continued questioning him, determined to learn Holden Radcliffe's location. Mace decided to speak to Shockley, but it was revealed that he was actually the bomb, and he began to use his powers, but they were able to drop him out of the plane before he exploded. FitzSimmons explained to the rest how Shockley's powers worked, and determined that Johnson could stop him using her powers.
Johnson practised her counter vibrations to defeat Shockley,but they ran out of time when they found Shockley's location. Johnson faced off with Shockley in the middle of the road, and realized that instead of keeping him from exploding, she should trigger it to exhaust him. As Johnson held off Shockley, repeatedly blowing him up, she began to grow tired, but FitzSimmons soon arrived and trapped him in their containment device.
==== Fighting the Superior ====
: "I chased the Watchdogs, the funding, the weapons, the EMP, the Senator – it all leads back to you.""Always nice to meet an admirer.""This isn't about admiration or forgiveness.""The butcher does not seek forgiveness from the animals he slaughters.""Have you ever read "Animal Farm"?"
: ―Quake and Superior[src]
Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons demonstrated a Framework simulation with Johnson and Phil Coulson training with each other.
Johnson then informed Coulson about the Russian mining facility shown on one picture belonged to Anton Ivanov. The team went to the facility to save Jeffrey Mace, the team split up to find Mace and take control of the base. Coulson was confronted by Superior, the leader of the Watchdogs. Before they could fight, Quake joined them and decided to take down the Superior herself while Coulson left to find Mace. After a violent fight, Quake collapsed the ceiling on the Superior, heavily wounding him. Johnson and the team return to the Playground, which unbeknownst to her that the rest of the team were Life-Model Decoys.
==== Siege of the Playground ====
: "This is not a sacrifice play. You know why? Because I will beat them, you hear me? I know it, if for no other reason than this: through all the insane crap we have gone through, the one thing I've known without a doubt, the whole time, is that you and Fitz belong together."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Jemma Simmons[src]
Johnson ignorant of the fact that she was surrounded by LMDs, organized the arrival of the Inhumans at the Playground. Before departing, she decided to check the Containment Module and, in one of them, she discovered a whole fleet of LMDs of herself. Shocked but quickly reacting upon hearing someone coming to her, she took her clothes off and hid amongst her android clones. When Alphonso Mackenzie's LMD came to the Containment Chamber to capture her, she managed to knock him out and escaped after taking his Shotgun-Axe.
Johnson went into hiding in the Playground and accessed security footage, in which she saw agents discovering Leo Fitz's LMD, including Phil Coulson's and Jeffrey Mace's LMDs. Johnson then discovered that she was not alone in her hiding place, Johnson runs into Jemma Simmons which the two had a hard time trusting each other as they mutually suspected of being a LMD. Fortunately, by using her Inhuman powers, Johnson managed to prove that she was not a LMD and to check that Simmons was not either. Considerably relieved, the two friends hugged and started to design a plan to escape the danger.
Johnson and Simmons struggled to find a way out of the Playground, Johnson figured out that their friends had been kidnapped by Holden Radcliffe and were probably still alive, though trapped in the Framework, meaning they had to enter the alternate reality as well. Johnson went to fight the LMDs, Simmons found agents Piper, James Davis and Prince and woke them up, telling them that she and Johnson were not LMDs. Johnson encountered the LMDs, She fiercely fought and destroyed Mace's LMD before having to deal with Coulson and Mackenzie. Johnson managed to knock Coulson's LMD out and destroy Mackenzie's LMD, whose body crossed the window and landed right in front of Simmons, who was on the verge of being attacked by Piper.
Johnson and Simmons made their way to the exit while Fitz's LMD, who had been repaired, went to activate the Daisy Fleet. They encountered Melinda may's LMD, who had been reactivated and was ready to blow the whole base up to prevent their escape. Johnson and Simmons managed to convince May's LMD to let them go by telling her that the real Phil Coulson, who May had feelings for, would never want to kill them. Johnson and Simmons escaped and boarded the Zephyr One right on time.
=== Inside the Framework ===
==== Working for HYDRA ====
: "Fitz, this is wrong. This... this is crimes-against-humanity wrong.""These are Inhumans. You've been a great asset, Skye, but unless I ask for your opinion... don't give it."
: ―Daisy Johnson and The Doctor[src]
When Johnson connected herself to the Framework, she took Skye's place and, upon discovering that Grant Ward was in her bed, she tried to quake him, but did not have her powers. Realizing he was not the same Ward, Johnson told him that they were summoned to work, so Ward got up and dressed before heading to the Triskelion. Upon arriving in HYDRA's headquarters, Johnson was questioned by Ward about seeming lost, going in the wrong direction and being disturbed by a statue representing HYDRA's symbol, but she played it up saying that she was not happy with him due to him refusing not to live with her after she asked him.
Johnson and Ward then went to a briefing conducted by Melinda May, who ordered them to interrogate a suspect named Jason Rajan. Johnson and Ward went to the interrogation room and started questioning him about his activities. When Johnson figured out that someone within HYDRA provided Rajan with an official ID card and revealed that she knew his true name was Vijay Nadeer. While Nadeer violently answered to Johnson, Ward knock out Nadeer which caused May to join the interrogation room and ordered Nadeer to be taken to The Doctor.
Johnson would later find Jemma Simmons, Johnson and Simmons were finally reunited at their meeting point and discussed their experience in the Framework. The two were met by Ward, who revealed that he was actually a double agent working for the S.H.I.E.L.D. resistance. Johnson and Simmons were helped by Ward to escape from a HYDRA team sent to arrest Simmons. Johnson and Simmons made their way to Skye's apartment and tried to use their extraction beacon but it did not work: they were trapped in the Framework. Johnson went to Alexander Pierce High School to meet with Phil Coulson, she snuck into his car and tried to have him remember his real life. After a tense conversation, Johnson heard Coulson finally voice Johnson's name, showing that he still had access to some of his real memories.
==== Captured by HYDRA ====
: "I'm Skye. What's your name?""Hope Mackenzie.""Hope... You're the Hope that he lost.""He didn't lose me. I was taken by you people."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Hope Mackenzie[src]
Johnson managed to convince Phil Coulson of the fallacy of the Framework and brought him to her apartment, where Jemma Simmons was waiting for them. Johnson and Simmons learned that Holden Radcliffe was also present in the Framework. Since he could help them to escape the alternate reality after they way out was sabotaged by Aida, Johnson decided to return to the Triskelion in order to know his whereabouts while Coulson and Simmons went to a meeting point in order to be taken into the S.H.I.E.L.D. resistance base.
Johnson searched Radcliffe's location, but was unable to leave the base, so she gave it to Grant Ward, joined and Melinda May on a HYDRA team to arrest subversives. To Johnson's astonishment, they stormed Alphonso Mackenzie's house and took him and his daughter to the Triskelion for questioning. Johnson interrogated Hope, and realized that she was the "hope" the Spirit of Vengeance had mentioned that Mackenzie lost.
Johnson spoke with Mackenzie, who referred to her as Daisy Johnson and mentioned them both being agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Johnson was ecstatic until she realized that Mackenzie didn't actually recognize her and that she was tricked into admitting her true allegiance to S.H.I.E.L.D.. Johnson was subsequently arrested and locked in a cell at the Triskelion. At the Triskelion, Johnson chooses to join the S.H.I.E.L.D. resistance, as she is met with The Doctor who prepares to interrogate and torture her.
==== Imprisoned at the Triskelion ====
: "You know, I asked for a mani-pedi, got tortured instead. BTDubs, your psycho prison sucks."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Madame Hydra[src]
Following her capture by Melinda May, Daisy Johnson was imprisoned and tortured at the Triskelion. She was interrogated by the Doctor, who wanted to know the whereabouts of the S.H.I.E.L.D. leader, the Patriot, and Jemma Simmons. Johnson replied that she did knot know where both were, but that she would gladly give him Simmons' location if she knew it because she considered Simmons to be the only person able to bring back Leo Fitz, since she was in love with him and he also loved her in the real world. The Doctor, displeased by this answer, violently slapped Johnson.
The interrogation was interrupted by the arrival of Madame Hydra, who asked the Doctor to leave since a security breach potentially threatening one of his projects had been discovered. After the Doctor left, Johnson heavily criticized the artificial world of the Framework, but Madame Hydra retorted that she was only fulfilling Holden Radcliffe's expectations. Radcliffe, imprisoned in the cell adjacent to Johnson's, screamed that he had never asked for this, only for Madame Hydra to call her guards to make him shut up. She then revealed to Johnson that Leo Fitz became the Doctor after she erased his greatest regret in his life, and that everything that followed was not up to her. Madame Hydra offered Johnson to do the same for her: She could reprogram the Framework so that Johnson could live with her deceased boyfriend Lincoln Campbell, who had sacrificed himself in the real world. However, Johnson turned down her offer, since she knew she would not live with the real Campbell.
After Madame Hydra's departure, Johnson heard Holden Radcliffe's screaming and crying in the adjacent cell, lamenting over his ruined life. Johnson showed him no compassion since her own situation was the result of Radcliffe's twisted actions. Johnson asked him how a transformation as radical as the one from the compassionate Leo Fitz she used to know to the ruthless Doctor was possible. Radcliffe answered that Aida had removed Fitz's greatest regret in his life and that it was enough to change him that much. Johnson disbelieved him but Radcliffe insisted, stating that even a single sentence like "I love you" could dramatically change one's life. Johnson then asked if Radcliffe has built a secret backdoor to escape the Framework while conceiving it. Radcliffe answered that he had, but that since Aida could not destroy this backdoor, it would be heavily guarded. He then provided Johnson with the intel she needed.
Finally, Johnson received another visitor in her cell. A troubled Melinda May, returning from a HYDRA "Enlightenment Camp" where she had learnt that HYDRA was indoctrinating children and witnessed the heroic actions and the death of the Patriot, asked Johnson if she was an Inhuman. Johnson stated that she was and in response, May rebelled against HYDRA by shattering a Terrigen crystal she had brought with her, enabling Johnson to recover her powers as Quake.
==== Joining the Resistance ====
: "After you're gone, do I get my Skye back?""Honestly, I don't know. Although she is HYDRA, so...""Well, every relationship has its ups and downs. We'll get through it.""For what it's worth, I didn't... I didn't totally understand him until I met you. So I guess... I guess there was some good in him all along. And I hope that Skye comes back to you."
: ―Grant Ward and Daisy Johnson[src]
Johnson emerged from her Terrigenesis husk fully recovered from her wounds after having being exposed to a shattered Terrigen Crystal thanks to Melinda May. Johnson and May fought their way out of the Triskelion before being stopped by Madame Hydra and two HYDRA agents. Johnson used her recovered powers on Madame Hydra and threw her out of the building. Madame Hydra fell to the ground, severely injured.
Johnson and May went on the run, but were spotted, and a team of HYDRA agents came after them. Johnson and May, having reached one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s safehouses, were nearly caught by the HYDRA agents but were finally rescued by Burrows, Phil Coulson, and Alphonso Mackenzie, though Mackenzie threatened to kill May for having kept his daughter hostage. Back at the Playground, Johnson confirmed to Grant Ward the story of the real world that Simmons told him and that he refused to believe in.
Johnson was told by Coulson that she must weaken HYDRA within the Framework to achieve her own goal. Therefore, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stormed the studio where The Bakshi Report show was recorded. After holding Bakshi's staff hostages and Ward and Johnson had a conversation about what was real or not in the Framework. S.H.I.E.L.D. broadcasted a subversive message featuring Coulson where the former history teacher proudly announced his allegiance to S.H.I.E.L.D. and revealed HYDRA's lies thanks to the footage recorded by May's Body Cam during the assault on HYDRA Enlightenment Cultivation Center where the Patriot died.
==== Escape from the Framework ====
: "Wake up! There is no back door, just like she's not Moses about to take them to the Promised Land.""That's it. What if I quake that thing?""And part the Red Sea.""They did not just go and use the Bible against me."
: ―Alphonso Mackenzie, Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons[src]
Johnson and Jemma Simmons reunited after the former's evasion from the Triskelion. Johnson was told by Simmons that Aida's plans was to create a living body so that she could be a real person with her own free will. In return, Johnson informed Simmons of the existence of a backdoor built by Holden Radcliffe. The two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents decided to open the portal and get back to the real world with Phil Coulson, Melinda May and Alphonso Mackenzie. Simmons reluctantly agreed on the fact that Leo Fitz was out of their reach for the moment and that they must leave him in the Framework to get him back later.
Johnson and her teammates went to a steel mill, instead of a city park like Radcliffe designed it, and Simmons, Coulson, May and Fitz went through the portal, but Mackenzie remained. Despite Johnson's insistence, Mackenzie refused to go back to the real world since his daughter, Hope Mackenzie, was alive in the Framework and he could have a life with her, be it virtual. Johnson went through the portal, and awoke back on the Zephyr One, apologizing to Yo-Yo Rodriguez for leaving Mackenzie behind. They had a much more urgent matter to deal with: the Zephyr One was attacked by the Superior's men.
==== Destruction of the Ivanov Oil Platform ====
: "Coulson and May just woke up next to Mack with no idea where they are or what they're up against."
: ―Daisy Johnson[src]
Johnson and Jemma Simmons, finally awake from escaping the Framework, go to recuse the team from the Ivanov Oil Platform. On the way, Johnson is blamed by Yo-Yo Rodriguez for leaving Alphonso Mackenzie in the Framework, though Johnson explained that Mackenzie would not leave his daughter. Johnson and Simmons learned that S.H.I.E.L.D. was once again considered dangerous by the authorities after the destruction of the Playground, and Johnson was questioned by Glenn Talbot to have something to do with it. Johnson and the team returned to Playground, where they were confronted by United States Armed Forces soldiers sent by Talbot, while Aida escaped the Chamber with her Inhuman power similar to Lincoln Campbell. Johnson discovered that Rodriguez had plugged herself into the Framework in order to bring Mackenzie back to the real world, so to give her time, Johnson tried to keep the Framework from being deleted by hacking into it.
==== Aida's Vengeance ====
: "This must be Aida's payback 'cause I quaked her skinny ass out that window. She's gonna send Daisy-bot after Daisy-bot to assassinate people."
: ―Daisy Johnson[src]
Johnson kept monitoring the vitals of Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Alphonso Mackenzie who were still trapped in the Framework. Daisy tried to help Rodriguez finding Mackenzie but soon discovered that Aida was shutting down the Framework, deleting every element in it and thus threatening Rodriguez and Mackenzie's lives. Johnson and Leo Fitz tried to figure out a way to keep them alive as long as possible.
Johnson was reunited with Ghost Rider, and brought him on the Zephyr One, where he explained that Aida was made of dark matter, just as the Darkhold was, and that the Spirit of Vengeance inside him wanted to take them both back to Hell, where they belonged. Johnson and Ghost Rider tired to stop Aida, who used a Daisy Johnson LMD to attack Glenn Talbot. The team returned on the Zephyr One, when they come up with a plan to stop Aida by Phil Coulson using the Spirit of Vengeance to kill Aida.
With Aida finally killed, and the Darkhold with Ghost Rider, the team discussed what had happened, with Fitz wanting to take the fall for it, but Johnson told him that they were in it together, and that going alone doesn't help, as learned from her time as a vigilante. Finally reunited for a moment of happiness, the team went to a diner where they enjoyed a simple meal. Just then, the power went out as Coulson's group were confronted by a mysterious man leading an armed squad.
=== Trapped in the Future ===
==== Arrival at the Lighthouse ====
: "Hey. What are you gonna do with our friends?""Whatever we want. Experiment. They knew the rules, and they broke it.""They're not gonna make it easy for you."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Kree Captain[src]
After the team was taken, the agents regained consciousness only to face the Time Di'Alla, which absorbed them all. Johnson was able to find Phil Coulson, Yo-Yo Rodriguez, Alphonso Mackenzie and Jemma Simmons before they were killed by a Vrellnexian. The team found a relatively secure place and discussed their options, deciding to remain together as they looked for Melinda May.
Johnson and the team found the room in which May had been in, and discovered a computer programmed in English, making them believe that they could send a message to Earth. Before they could proceed any further, they were attacked by Kree who imprisoned them. Johnson, Coulson, Simmons remained in a cell before being joined by May, who was accompanied by Deke Shaw. Shaw managed to convince the Kree guards to let them go and he escorted them away. Shaw tried to walk away but May stops him. The team then split to pursue their objectives: freeing their friends, trying to send a message to Earth, and getting answers from Shaw. Quake arrived just in time to keep two Kree interrogators from breaking Rodriguez's arms, and she released Mackenzie and Rodriguez, who helped her kill the Kree. Looking at a postcard they found, they saw that Leo Fitz had left a message on it.
==== Learning the Truth ====
: "Daisy Johnson. And they say you're not dangerous.""So you know who I am.""Quake. You see, I'm the one person that's pieced history together, who has an idea what happened. You want to know what kind of force can tear a planet apart? It was you."
: ―Deke Shaw and Daisy Johnson[src]
Johnson, Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez were confronted by Deke Shaw, who saw them with a dead Kree guard. Which the three getting yelled at by Shaw, Mackenzie suggested taking the Kree to where the other bodies were so the roaches could dine on them. Johnson, Mackenzie, Rodriguez and Shaw put the Kree on top of the elevator.
On the way up to Level 3, Johnson asked Shaw if they were indeed in the future. Shaw sarcastically confirmed. The elevator soon stopped and a Kree soldier entered. Johnson and the others quickly realized that one of the Kree bodies was about to drip blood on the soldier. Shaw tried to distract him, but the group was going to be caught, when the blood drop was gone. After the Kree left the elevator, Johnson was asked what had happened. Johnson and the team dragged the guards to where the roaches were and told them not to kill anymore Kree.
After the four dragged the bodies into the room where the roaches were, Shaw heard Johnson's first name, "Daisy," after Rodriguez told her to close the door. Johnson noticed that Shaw showed a sign of affection towards her. The four met up with Phil Coulson, Melinda May, and Tess, where they learned that Jemma Simmons was taken to Kasius. This led to Shaw leaving, so Johnson tailed him to get answers. Johnson found him asleep with other residents. When she approached him, a device on the ceiling put her to sleep and into the Framework.
Johnson decided to follow Shaw to try to discover where Simmons was taken, and found herself in some sort of recreational space where Shaw used parts of the Framework technology to generate visions of what the Earth looked like in the past. After an argument, Shaw figured out that Johnson was Quake after seeing a news report, which led him to reveal the cause of Earth's destruction in this future was because of Johnson herself.
==== Betrayed by Deke Shaw ====
: "I'll kill you. I swear.""Sorry, sweetheart. I'm just playing the long game."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Deke Shaw[src]
Johnson discovered that all her friends were missing and met with Deke Shaw, requiring his help to locate them, making her way to Yo-Yo Rodriguez, who told her about the situation. Rodriguez managed to trick Grill into thinking that her Metric did not work properly. Once Grill took it off, she used his powers to break into his office, and stole the scroll and handed it over to Johnson.
Using a Kree tablet, Johnson took an elevator to a lab where the Kree grew plants and fruits. She reached another elevator and prepared to reach Kasius' Suites, but as the doors were closing, a Kree guard stopped it. Therefore, Johnson used her powers to hide in the only spot available, stuck on the elevator's ceiling as another guard arrived. As the elevator prepared to leave, Johnson slightly slipped, which alerted the guards. Having been discovered, Johnson fought against the two guards until one of them violently punched her back into the cultivation room. Nevertheless, she managed to take them down by using her powers, but discovered that the elevator control panel had been damaged in the fight, forcing her to find another itinerary. Therefore, she used her powers to break through the floor, arriving in Kasius' Suites.
However, as she made her way, Johnson found herself trapped between two glass panels, with an incapacitating gas being spread out. Before she could use her powers to escape, Johnson collapsed on the ground and saw the arrival of Kasius, Sinara and Shaw, who had informed Kasius of her impending arrival. While Kasius expressed great satisfaction at the idea of having captured the Destroyer of Worlds, Johnson swore that she would kill Shaw in revenge.
==== Imprisoned by Kasius ====
: "I could also see how powerful he thinks you are... and how powerful you know you are.""Good. Maybe it's time we change the rules on his game."
: ―Ben and Daisy Johnson[src]
Johnson was taken to a room full of Inhumans training and waiting to demonstrate their powers in front of Kasius and potential buyers, thus, she got to know Ben, an Inhuman capable of reading other people's mind. Johnson was ordered by Tye to demonstrate her powers for Lady Basha. Basha offered to purchase Johnson immediately but Kasius denied her request and insisted on discussing Johnson's price over a dinner that Basha kept avoiding.
Johnson was informed by Ben that the Inhumans were forced to fight against each other for the sake of their families. Later, Johnson and Jemma Simmons were further interrogated by Kasius, who ordered the former to tell him her story in presence of Ben, who could use his powers to tell whether Johnson was telling the truth. Johnson told her story in detail, with Kasius placing himself between Simmons and herself so that Simmons cannot read through her lips, stating that she and Simmons were the only S.H.I.E.L.D. agents present. This led to Kasius asking Simmons to tell own version of the story, and fortunately for the two young women, Simmons' version fit exactly with Johnson's.
After the interrogation, Johnson learned that Ben could also implant thoughts in other people's mind, and that he covered for Johnson and Simmons. Johnson was told by Ben that he could read Kasius' mind and that the Kree leader intended on destroying the Lighthouse soon. Johnson was the pinnacle of the show that Kasius was preparing to open an exhibition of Inhuman powers. However, before the show began, an unexpected character interrupted, who revealed himself to be Leo Fitz.
==== Inhuman Trial Ceremony ====
: "All right, you freaky blue bitch. Let's do this."
: ―Quake to Sinara[src]
Johnson apologized to Ben for having involved him into her fight, as Kasius revealed that he discovered that Ben lied to him and tried to protect Johnson and Jemma Simmons, causing Ben to be executed by Sinara. Johnson and Simmons later met and planned to work with Fitz to escape from Kasius.
Johnson's Inhuman Trial Ceremony was watched by Faulnak, where she was put to a fight against Kasius' greatest warrior, Sinara. Although Kasius tried to refuse, his brother insisted to the point that Kasius was forced to meet his request and to send Sinara into the Crater to fight against the Destroyer of Worlds. Before turning off Johnson's Inhuman Control Device, Kasius activated an energy barrier between the Crater and the Gallery in order to protect the audience. Johnson was immediately attacked by Sinara with her Kree Spheres, engaging in a violent duel against the Inhuman. As Johnson managed to throw Sinara on the ground and prepared to attack her, bust she was knocked over. Johnson used her powers to stop another sphere and projected it back to Sinara, claiming it to be revenge for Ben, but Sinara avoided it.
Both women continued their violent duel for a time, but in the end Johnson was able to defeat Sinara with a punch boosted by her powers. All of a sudden, Leo Fitz used an I.C.E.R., knocking Gaius Ponarian unconscious and deactivated the energy barrier while Simmons cut Kasius in the cheek. Johnson used her powers to levitate in front of the Gallery and prepared to attack, but Faulnak reactivated her inhibitor, causing her to fall to the ground. Johnson was picked up by Fitz and Simmons and incapacitated one last Kree guard before leaving the Crater.
==== Escape from the Lighthouse ====
: "Well, we can't leave with this place surrounded.""Come on! A room full of secret agents, scientists, and superheroes. Someone give me something!"
: ―Quake and Phil Coulson[src]
Johnson, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz were forced to stop as Kasius remotely activated Simmons' ear implant to incapacitate her. Johnson managed to take down a Kree guard despite still being deprived of her powers while Fitz forcefully extracted it. Johnson, Fitz and Simmons then attempted to make it to the Chronicom Vessel, Fitz had used to reach the Lighthouse, but it was destroyed by the Kree Watch, forcing the trio to find another way out.
They used a Kree tablet stolen from the deceased guard to use an elevator in an attempt to reunite with their friends in the Salvage. However, the elevator was stopped by Maston-Dar, who had been sent to chase them by Faulnak. This forced the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to escape from the elevator through the shaft, leaving the cabin empty when Maston-Dar managed to open it. Maston-Dar then violently interrogated two passing servants to know where the fugitives might have gone, murdering one of them before seeing the open door to the elevator shaft.
Johnson, Fitz, and Simmons kept trying to find a way to escape, discovering that the Lighthouse's artificial gravity was generated by Gravitonium. However, they were found by Maston-Dar, who fired at them with his machine gun, wounding Fitz in the stomach. Johnson managed to reach Maston-Dar and distracted him long enough for Fitz and Simmons to escape, quickly followed by Johnson herself. The three of them managed to hide in relative safety and were found once again, this time by Deke Shaw.
Despite having betrayed Johnson earlier, Shaw explained that he had come to help the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who reluctantly agreed to trust him as Maston-Dar was still after them. The trio was able to reach the Salvage, where they were reunited with Phil Coulson, Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Alphonso Mackenzie. However, they realized that Flint, an Inhuman that they had taken under their protection, had left to confront the Kree Watch as they had killed his friend Tess in retaliation for having hidden from them. Johnson, Simmons, Fitz, Coulson and Shaw plan to go onto the cracked Earth, while Mackenzie and Rodriguez resolved to stay with Flint. The rest of the team boarded the Trawler, and despite Coulson's uncertain flying skills, they were able to leave the Lighthouse and reach the surface of the Earth.
==== Duel in the Zephyr One ====
: "I'm just tired of these names. If I'm... If I'm not Quake, I can't be the Destroyer of Worlds. Maybe I should just be Daisy Johnson, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Phil Coulson[src]
Johnson and the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team were rescued by the True Believers, who took them to the remnants of the Zephyr One, which had survived the cataclysm of the destruction of the Earth. Johnson was reunited with Melinda May and they discussed Robin Hinton with Phil Coulson. Johnson and Deke Shaw had a conversation about their respective fathers, and Johnson told Shaw that he should not worry about his impending reunion with Owen Shaw.
Johnson had the Inhuman Control Device examined by Jemma Simmons, who was unable to remove it. They were then joined by Coulson and May, who had a piece of the Time Di'Alla, which Leo Fitz worked out fit in the Zephyr, so Johnson was asked to talk with Hinton for more answers. After getting nothing, Johnson was shown footage by Samuel Voss displaying the last footage of her before the Destruction of Earth. Although Johnson promised that she would do her best to avoid such a cataclysm, Voss was unwilling to take the risk. As two other True Believers arrived, Voss drew a knife and told Johnson that killing her would save the life of billions.
Johnson was then attacked by the True Believers, and managed to defend herself, stabbing one of her opponent in the thigh and repelling the assaults of the two others. As Hinton approached the fight scene, Voss decided that he could not risk to have her giving S.H.I.E.L.D. answers regarding how they could return into the past and he stabbed her in the stomach, much to Johnson's horror. Johnson was saved by Phil Coulson, and together, Johnson and Coulson managed to succeed against the True Believers, who were taken into custody in the Zephyr One. After the ambush, Johnson found Shaw imprisoned in a cell and released him, informing him of Robin Hinton's death.
=== Return to the Present ===
==== Escaping from the Future ====
: "Maybe I don't go with you. You know it's the right move. Coulson, as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., you trained me to fight. Now I'm making my stand here."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Phil Coulson[src]
As the gravity storm approached, Quake told Phil Coulson that she should probably remain deprived of her powers for everyone's safety. However, Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons discovered that the Zephyr One had been upgraded with Fitz's old designs for a new plane, including artificial gravity generators using Gravitonium.
S.H.I.E.L.D. decided to follow Simmons' idea, but the anchors keeping the plane on the ground got stuck. Quake, who was followed by Deke Shaw, decided to go and fix that, but she was found by Sinara. As the plane finally took off because of the storm, a violent fight erupted between Quake and Sinara, and Sinara nearly killed Quake before Deke chose to rescue her, definitely siding with S.H.I.E.L.D.. Quake ultimately killed Sinara with an improvised spear.
Quake and Coulson were forced to remain behind to fight an Odium-empowered Tye, who fiercely dueled against both of them. Despite managing to slightly wound Johnson and Coulson, Johnson was able to stab him with his own knife, killing him. Johnson and Coulson caught up with Melinda May and Deke Shaw, where they were reunited with Tess and left her in charge of the Lighthouse residents gathered in the Trawler. Johnson refused to let Shaw go and his own, which led to an argument, but in the end Shaw convinced Johnson to remain with her friends and wait for the activation of the Time Di'Alla.
Johnson told Coulson she was staying behind, as she feared that if she returned to the present she would cause the Destruction of Earth. Coulson shot her with an I.C.E.R., and carried her to the Monolith, where they were joined by the rest of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. The team was sent back in time along, the Time Di'Alla caused a massive explosion which destroyed the Lighthouse.
==== Rescuing Deke Shaw ====
: "I'm here for Deke Shaw over there. I'm his state-assigned social worker.""Well, he didn't mention a social worker was supervising him. Your name?""Sinara. Sinara Smith. It's Portuguese, Sinara, not Smith."
: ―Daisy Johnson and C. Wellins[src]
Johnson regained consciousness, and confronted Phil Coulson about shooting her, but he made it clear to her that he needed her with him. They discovered a mysterious signal coming from St. Louis, Missouri, but Johnson decided to stay behind while the team went to search the St. Louis Aerospace Facility, not wanting to risk ending the world already. Staying in the Lighthouse, Johnson set up security alerts so she could know if the team were spotted while out in public, where she discovered they were all Most Wanted.
An alert went off revealing that Deke Shaw had somehow also been transported to the present and got arrested, making Johnson worried he could expose them, so she went to deal with him. Johnson posed as Shaw's social worker Sinara Smith, and claimed that Shaw had escaped during one of his walks. Being asked by C. Wellins about Shaw's issues, Johnson listed many, and was able to get him released, where they talked about how he was alive in the present. After signing some paperwork, Johnson and Shaw went back to the Lighthouse.
Johnson was contacted by Melinda May, who told her to quickly give them coordinates to where she could land the Zephyr One, which made Johnson concerned. Learning that Yo-Yo Rodriguez had both of her arms cut off in an ambush at the facility, Johnson rushed on board the Zephyr and comforted Alphonso Mackenzie. Johnson checked on Leo Fitz and Noah, as they stored the beacon, but learned it was activating, so Noah told them to ran away before it exploded.
==== Phil Coulson's Fate ====
: "I can't do what you're asking of me. I can't do it.""You've always been capable of more than you imagined.""No. Not without you. You found me... alone in an alley, and you... you gave me everything. A home, a... a belief, solid ground to stand on. But... that was all you. You are what I believe in."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
Johnson and Deke Shaw gathered medical supplies for Yo-Yo Rodriguez, and as they discussed their parents, they were attacked by a Kree Warrior who nearly killed Shaw. Johnson managed to shoot the Kree, causing it to vanish in the air. Johnson and Shaw reported the attack to the rest of the team, and Leo Fitz hypothesized that the destruction of the three Monoliths caused the creation of a Fear Dimension rift.
Johnson, Melinda May and Fitz opposed the idea of sending Coulson to close it, and Johnson offered to go herself, but Coulson refused, stating that S.H.I.E.L.D. needed Johnson. A furious argument erupted as Johnson stated that S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer existed and that she was the only one who can do the mission. Suddenly, Coulson fainted, and they later learned that he was dying, which greatly upset Johnson, so she left. Johnson was found by Coulson and the two had an emotional moment with Johnson telling him that he was everything she believed in. Both of them embrace as Johnson cried.
Johnson and the rest of the team watched as Coulson went to close the rift, but they lost contact with him immediately, making them panic for Coulson's safety. Shortly after, they were alerted of a Quinjet arriving, which turned out to be Shaw, who had found several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, inclduing Deathlok, who helped Coulson close the rift. Later, the team attended the wedding for Fitz and Jemma Simmons, with Johnson being Simmon's maid of honor.
==== Quest for Gravitonium ====
: "Okay, just hear me out. Cybertek had a whole team of people whose only job was to keep Garrett alive. What if one of them could do the same thing?"
: ―Daisy Johnson to Phil Coulson[src]
Johnson investigated Cybertek and found that several scientists who used to work on Gravitonium are presumed deceased. However, their death certificates were all signed by the same person, Murray Jacobson, so Johnson realized that they were actually alive with new identities. Johnson, Phil Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie and Melinda May decided to find Jacobson. S.H.I.E.L.D. located him, who happened to be Tony Caine, Mackenzie's old friend. They took him to the Zephyr One, where they explained the situation. Johnson and May also believed that looking into Cybertek could save Coulson's life, but he told them to drop it.
After speaking with Joseph Getty, Johnson, Coulson and Mackenzie infiltrated into the Principia in search for the Gravitonium. They soon came across it, and Mackenzie stored it in a toolbox, and they made their escape before the ship fell from the sky. However, there were Sleeper Mechs that were onboard and were reactivated, so they fought them off. Mackenzie told Johnson and Coulson to get back to the Containment Module while he dealt with the Mechs, and they all got off the ship before it dropped from the sky. Before returning to the Lighthouse, they asked Caine to look into ways to save Coulson.
==== Leo Fitz's Psychic Split ====
: "Please, don't do this. You know what restoring my powers could do. You... No.""Conversely... this rift could be what destroys the world. Your powers could be what save it.""No. This is the path to destruction."
: ―Daisy Johnson and The Doctor[src]
Johnson, Deke Shaw, Jemma Simmons and Leo Fitz gathered in the control room of the Lighthouse where they brainstormed ideas to close the rift. The group decided to take a look at the old notes of Franklin Hall to better understand the properties of Gravitonium. Johnson would leave but later she joined Fitz in the control room. She tried to calm down Fitz who had a small and violent outburst. She went and checked on the two cameras due to them going down ten levels below control.
Johnson was attacked and strapped to an operating table after she had been captured by another Sleeper Mech sent by The Doctor, who was going to remove her Inhuman Control Device, which was the only way to compress the Gravitonium and thus seal the Fear Dimension. While Fitz was trying to stop The Doctor, Johnson asked who Fitz was talking to, just before Simmons burst into the room. Johnson, Simmons, and Fitz himself discovered that The Doctor was not a recreation from the Fear Dimension but a darker personality.
Johnson was in pain when Fitz learnt that he had to remove the inhibitor, Johnson told Fitz that she would never forgive him, to which Fitz replied that she would not be the only one. Once the device removed, Johnson used her powers to compress the Gravitonium into the Gravity Containment Device so they could finally, once and for all, seal the rift.
==== Searching for Phil Coulson ====
: "Hale is HYDRA. "Hale HYDRA." Seriously? How are we still fighting Nazis today?"
: ―Daisy Johnson to Melinda May[src]
After Phil Coulson allowed himself to willingly be taken by Hale, Johnson and Melinda May looked into Hale and her associates, and discovered that she was a part of HYDRA, which frustrated Johnson that they were still dealing with the organization. Now acting as interim Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Johnson struggled with figuring out what to do next, so May gave her advice to help her.
Johnson listened in while May went to Leo Fitz for help, and joined them when Fitz suggested letting him out to tell him that she was not going to let that happen. Still furious with Fitz for what he did to her, Johnson quaked him into the wall when he tried to justify his actions. Johnson continued to berate Fitz, saying that they don't turn on each other, yet Fitz reminded her that she had done the same many times before. Johnson stormed out, having gained the idea to retrieve Robin Hinton, wanting to use her to help them.
May thought it would be risky pulling Robin out of hiding, but Johnson felt that she was their best chance at finding Coulson. Jemma Simmons came to Johnson and requested that Fitz be released, as he had a strong lead on a HYDRA weapon, but she shut down the idea and put Alphonso Mackenzie in charge while she was gone. May suggested that Johnson should dial back her strictness as Director, but Johnson stated that she was only concerned about finding Coulson so that he could resume his role as Director.
Johnson was flown to the Retreat by James Davis and picked up Robin and Polly Hinton, who she apologized to for taking them out of hiding, but told her it was important. Polly informed Johnson that Robin had been struggling recently, and as they flew back to Zephyr One, Johnson tried to get through to Robin, but she remained silent. Johnson was shown the last picture Robin drew which was of her death in the future. Later, May gave Johnson a new drawing of Coulson with mountains in the background, so they started their search.
==== Fighting Ruby Hale ====
: "You're like that hero that every little girl wants to be when they grow up.""Mm. Looks like you made a wrong turn along the way.""No. I'm just engineered differently. I don't want to be you. I want to beat you.""You can certainly try."
: ―Ruby Hale and Quake[src]
However, they were unable to locate Phil Coulson, so Johnson suggested landing, which Melinda May thought was risky but agreed upon. Exploring the area, Johnson found Coulson and Glenn Talbot about to be killed by Ruby Hale, so she quaked her away. Johnson ordered May and Deke Shaw to take Coulson and Talbot back to Zephyr One while she stayed to fight Ruby.
When Ruby got back up, she revealed that she was a fan of Johnson, but it was her ultimate goal to beat her, and the two engaged in a fight. Although the fight was fairly matched, it was ended when Johnson quaked Ruby against a tree, knocking her out. Shaw returned, wanting to give Johnson back up, but he ended up getting shot by Hale, so Johnson carried Shaw back to the Zephyr, where he began bleeding heavily, so they headed back to the Lighthouse immediately. Johnson treated the wound, but noted that he needed proper medical attention.
As they headed back, Johnson told Shaw that it was reckless for him to go against her orders, but he thought he was doing the right thing. Shaw then began coughing up blood, so once they returned to the Lighthouse where Piper and Alphonso Mackenzie treated him. Johnson visited Talbot, who said he wanted to speak with his family, so she thought about it, and also told him that she wanted to know everything he told Hale about them. Johnson later discovered a ping from the Sleeper Mechs, and gave Talbot a phone to call his wife.
Using the distress signal to locate Hale's base, Johnson gathered the agents to inform them of the mission, while also ordering Coulson, Mackenzie and Shaw to stay at the Lighthouse. Onboard Zephyr One, Johnson admitted her enjoyment of finally being on the offence, and detected that something was bugging May, but she chose to tell Johnson as they launched out of the Containment Module. Once they got inside the base, Johnson and May fought off the HYDRA soldiers, only for Hale to surrender herself, as Ruby had the Gravitonium and was in danger.
Once they arrived at the HYDRA Herefordshire Facility, Hale insisted that Johnson wouldn't hurt Ruby, and Johnson suggested that Ruby could potentially make for a good S.H.I.E.L.D. agent. Johnson, May and Hale arrived to find Ruby already in the Particle Infusion Chamber, so they shut it down. However, Ruby had some Gravitonium infused in her, which caused her to lose control, so Johnson signalled Hale to talk her down, while getting May to take Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons to safety.
Johnson attempted to help Ruby through this process along with Hale, but she refused to listen to them, instead blaming them for what was happening to her. Ruby then used her powers to get a hold of Johnson and pull her closer. Johnson continued to help Ruby, but was choked by her instead until Hale stopped her. When it seemed as though they were finally talking down Ruby, her throat was suddenly slit, killing her, which was revealed to have been done by Yo-Yo Rodriguez, who claimed she saved the world.
==== Visiting Tony Caine ====
: "Garrett's cocktail had an extra healing component that was designed and developed by the Nazis, so that's impossible to get.""Nothing's impossible. It's one element. What is it?""I have no idea. All I got was the name of some place where they found it. And I can't find it on any map.""That's 'cause it's not a place."
: ―Tony Caine and Daisy Johnson[src]
Returning to the Lighthouse, Phil Coulson explained the plan to launch the Gravitonium into the sun. Johnson brought up treating Carl Creel and returning the Hintons into hiding, volunteering to bring them to Tony Caine. An argument broke out over Yo-Yo Rodriguez killing Ruby Hale, which Johnson took great issue with, but Coulson stopped it.
Before leaving, Melinda May spoke with Johnson about their secret plan to save Coulson with Caine looking into Project Deathlok. Johnson met with Caine, and after talking about the Attack on Greenwich Village he gave her a Centipede Device and mentioned John Garrett's history and that there was an unidentified ingredient in the Centipede Serum, which she realized came from Jiaying. When Johnson left, she went to her mother's grave and began to dig up her remains.
==== Rescue of Phil Coulson ====
: "We might be able to save Coulson, by combining that with my... mom's DNA.""Oh, Daisy... this feels like we may be crossing a line.""Then we cross it."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons[src]
Johnson returned to the Lighthouse and was confronted by Yo-Yo Rodriguez, who blamed her for being away during the battle against the Remorath. However, Johnson refused to listen to Rodriguez's accusations and the two women ended up fighting each other. The duel was interrupted by Melinda May and Johnson brought the rests of her mother Jiaying to Jemma Simmons along with the Centipede Serum. Johnson ordered Simmons to use it to create a cure which could save Coulson from his deadly condition.
Johnson returned to her room where she was visited by Deke Shaw. She expressed her disarray as the situations kept getting more complicated. As Shaw unsuccessfully attempted to tell Johnson about how he felt about her, he discovered that she still loved her late boyfriend Lincoln Campbell. Figuring out that this was not the best time to talk about his own feelings, Shaw told Johnson that he was Simmons and Leo Fitz's grandson.
Using a newly upgraded Zephyr One which had been modified so it could be taken into space, Johnson, May and a few other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents left the Lighthouse to reach Qovas' Ship which had flown away outside the atmosphere. Once the vertical propulsion took them into space, the team activated the plane's cloaking, enabling them to stealthily dock to the Remorath spaceship. Quake and May made their way through the spaceship and were quickly confronted by Glenn Talbot, who threatened to kill Phil Coulson if they did not surrender.
Quake and May did not understand the situation but Quake, in an attempt to defuse it, suggested that she would willingly stop to fight if Talbot let Coulson go. Hale claimed that she trusted Quake, much to Talbot's surprise. When Hale explained that Quake had tried to help her daughter Ruby Hale, Talbot insulted the latter. Hale then attempted to retake control by using the Faustus method, but her attempt failed and she was murdered by Talbot.
Quake attempted to attack Talbot, however, he appeared to be incredibly resilient towards her powers. Quake is knocked unconscious. As May aimed her gun at him, Talbot ordered her to surrender if she wanted to pare the lives of her friends. May reluctantly complied and dropped her weapon. Talbot then instructed Qovas to take the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as prisoners of war. While the still unconscious Quake was subjected to an Astralscope illusion so she could have a conversation with the Kree Taryan who wanted her as a disciple.
==== Discussion with Taryan ====
: "Some people have given me a hard time. Humans are ... are complicated. They disagree. Sometimes it comes to blows. Only, sometimes, it's a person who risks everything for their friends even though she lost her limbs. Hypothetically. We fight, okay, but not with a lack of respect, and that's something I don't think you're quite understanding."
: ―Quake to Taryan[src]
Quake and Taryan were able to meet using Astralscopes, although Quake was unaware that she was actually still unconscious. Quake was asked by Taryan to join him as he promised that she would be able to unleash her full potential as a powerful Inhuman.
However, Quake refused to become Taryan's disciple, claiming that she knew his family all too well. Taryan attempted to convince her that they were the same person, but Quake kept refusing to follow Taryan, prompting Taryan to decide to take her by force if necessary. In response, Quake attempted to attack Taryan with her powers, but Taryan explained that she was in an Astralscope simulation, and thus deprived of her powers. Meanwhile, Quake's physical body was being dragged to be broken in before brought to Taryan.
Taryan explained that Quake would remain in the simulation as long as it would be required, stating how she was beginning to lose track of time and how long she had been in it, which would all result in her breaking. However, Quake mentioned his two sons and claimed that she would break free, due to her power being stronger than Taryan knew, referring to herself as the Destroyer of Worlds. Quake successfully broke the Astralscope and regained consciousness, and defeated the Remorath, thus preventing Taryan from acquiring her.
==== Escaping from Qovas' Ship ====
: "So... You made out with May.""Did I?""Oh, yeah."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
Quake would reunite with Coulson, May and Deke Shaw after saving them from a couple of Remorath soldiers. The S.H.I.E.L.D. team then agreed that they could not leave the spaceship before changing the target of the Ionizer Missiles Qovas had aimed at the Lighthouse.
Quake and Coulson would escape with the Zephyr One. Quake and Shaw were surprised seeing Coulson and May share a kiss after dispatched the last opponent. Quake and Coulson realized that Remorath had infiltrated it as well. Fearing to lose James Davis in the fight and thus not being able to return on Earth, Quake and Coulson fought across the plane and successfully defeated the Remorath, enabling them to safely leave. However, the intensity of the fight deepened Coulson's weakened condition and he fell unconscious.
==== An Ultimate Decision ====
: "Robin said Coulson could put the pieces together. She thinks that he's the key to solving all of this."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Yo-Yo Rodriguez[src]
The team gathered in the Lighthouse, where Coulson was unconscious, but still alive. They discussed their current situation, noting that Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons could successfully create a cure. However, they also mentioned the case of Glenn Talbot. Quake told them that they could not do so: there was only one dose of Centipede Serum. Therefore, the team could either save Coulson with it or use it to stop Talbot and save the world, but they could not do both, leaving them with a crucial dilemma.
With the team split on what they think they should do, an argument broke out. Johnson wanted to save Coulson without hesitation, especially as she felt that they wouldn't be able to get close to Talbot to give him the serum. Johnson used Robin Hinton's prophecy about Coulson putting the pieces together, to support her argument about him being the key to get through to Talbot. Johnson settled on saving Coulson, but Yo-Yo Rodriguez stole the Centipede Device. The debate ended when Melinda May destroyed the Odium, thus leaving only one option of creating a cure for Coulson.
==== Battle of Chicago ====
: "I'm becoming a hero.""You are one. The minute that you enlisted, you became one. We all did. Look around. You're surrounded by them. Anyone who signs up for this, to lose friends or limbs or your mind or your life in protection of humanity."
: ―Glenn Talbot and Quake[src]
Johnson discovered that Deke Shaw was leaving, wanting to see the world. Before he left, Shaw gave Johnson some advice about not being the leader of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Piper informed Johnson that Talbot was in Chicago, and they rushed to stop him. During the flight, Johnson took Shaw's advice and told the rest of the team that she was wasn't able to lead them, and instead made Alphonso Mackenzie the new Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Quake and Phil Coulson flew a Quinjet into the city. Although Quake planned to neutralize Talbot so Coulson could talk him down, Coulson revealed that he would not join the battle as he was too weak to stand, having not taken the Centipede Serum cure. Quake and Coulson had a brief argument, but Quake was convinced to go and confront Talbot on her own. Quake reluctantly agreed and left the Quinjet, ordering Coulson to return to the Zephyr One and take the remedy. Actually, she was unaware that Coulson had hidden the syringe containing the cure within her gauntlets.
Quake ran through the streets of Chicago to find Talbot. Using her powers to boost her speed, she violently tackled Talbot, hitting him on the ground until they crashed in a bus. Quake ordered Talbot to stop as he was causing people to die, but Talbot replied that they were only collateral damage and that he had to power himself up so he would become a true hero. Therefore, Quake tried to appeal to Talbot as a military man and a father, claiming that he was already a hero due to having sworn to protect people and that he could do it without frightening his own son.
At first, Quake appeared to gotten though to Talbot. However, he assimilated Quake's attempts to convince him to work together to the speeches Hale had delivered to him before torturing him and to what Coulson said to him before acting behind Talbot's back. Quake was grabbed by Talbot and he began rising her in the air with her. Once they were high enough, Quake was violently crashed back onto the ground, causing a powerful shockwave which notably damaged the building where Leo Fitz, Mackenzie, May and the Hintons were. This resulted in some rubble falling on top of Fitz, burying him underneath.
Quake could barely continue to fight against Talbot. She was forced to stand by Talbot, who decided to absorb Quake so that he could use her powers to access the Gravitonium he was looking for more easily. However, as Quake was on the verge of being absorbed, she then discovered the Centipede Serum that Coulson had placed inside of her gauntlets. She injected herself with the serum, which powered herself up and enabled her to break free of Talbot. Enraged, Talbot attacked her one last time, but Quake used her enhanced powers to then expel Talbot into space, killing him.
Although the battle was won, Fitz was killed due to the injury he sustained from the rubble falling on him after the shockwave. The team took the death hard, but Jemma Simmons instead started focusing on her theory that there was another Fitz out in space and wanted to rescue him. When Fitz's body was brought back to the Lighthouse, the agents gathered together, and Johnson gave Simmons Fitz's wedding ring, and comforted her.
==== Saying Goodbye ====
: "I love you.""I love you too."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
The team gathered in the Zephyr One to celebrate Phil Coulson's retirement from S.H.I.E.L.D., despite it feeling more like a mourning. A commemorative plate was put into Zephyr One and the team reflected on everything they had gone through since they had begun working together.
Coulson gave a speech Johnson was the last to say goodbye to Coulson, who revealed that he only had days left, or maybe weeks if he was lucky. Coulson told Johnson he left her a letter, telling her how proud he was of her. Johnson hugged Coulson, and they both said they loved each other. Coulson then walked off the Zephyr one last time to the ocean front of Tahiti where he joined Melinda May to enjoy his last days. The team then took Zephyr One and flew away, taking the new S.H.I.E.L.D. towards new missions.
=== Search for Leo Fitz ===
==== Months in Space ====
: "The Zephyr is banged up because everywhere we go, Quake leaves a wake of destruction!""I've explained my philosophy on that. They need to respect how strong we are.""We're down to four people!""Exactly! That is the point! They don't know that!"
: ―Jemma Simmons and Quake[src]
After Phil Coulson left and soon died, Johnson found it hard as everything reminded her of him. So, to get away from her problem instead of facing it, not even reading Coulson's letter for her, Johnson decided to join Jemma Simmons on her mission to find Leo Fitz in space. Before they left Johnson asked Yo-Yo Rodriguez to come, but she declined.
Quake, Simmons, James Davis and Piper along with a small team boarded the Zephyr One and began their mission. After a year of failure in finding Fitz and all of the crew leaving, they would come across the Chronicom Vessel, only to find it destroyed, having been cut in half. Still holding out hope, they continued their search, tracking down as many leads as they could come across to find the other half of the vessel. Using a manifest found on the vessel, they tracked down every supplier on it, going to Trinawa and Pyree, where they came to the conclusion that someone must have given out information of the whereabouts of the supposedly undetectable vessel.
==== Interrogating Trok ====
: "This small aircraft isn't even worth as much as a unit of fuel. Unless you plan to work in the shafts, how do you expect to make payment?""You're gonna give it to me on the house."
: ―Trok and Quake[src]
By 2019, the mission would eventually lead the team to Trok, who potentially had information about Leo Fitz's whereabouts, being known for selling traceable fuel. On their way, they were chased down by the Confederacy and had to do a forced landing on D'Rill. When they were boarded, Quake greeted the D'Rillians and easily disarmed them and defeated Trok. Jemma Simmons then came out and told him to give them what they wanted and he would live.
Trok refused to tell them anything, so they decided to hang him upside down to get him to talk, as the different gravity on the Zephyr One would eventually kill him. They explained how their journey lead them to numerous locations, eventually leading to him, and they questioned if he sold traceable fuel to the vessel. However, they discovered that Trok didn't, but actually bought the other half of the vessel, so he gave them its location.
Having learnt the location of the other half of the Chronicom Vessel, the team then headed there, believing to have finally been successful in what they had set out to do. They boarded the damaged vessel and searched for the Cryo-Freeze Chamber that Fitz was in. As they searched the vessel, they learned that the vessel lost cabin pressure, but believed that Fitz should have survived it while in cryo. They then found the chamber, and Simmons opened it up. However, instead of finding Fitz they found it to be empty. They then took the chamber onto the Zephyr One and thought about what they should do.
==== Confronting Jemma Simmons ====
: "Going that deep is not smart. It... We have to consider heading home and regrouping before we jump into the juicy center of the Milky Way.""No, we can't let this trail go cold!"
: ―Quake and Jemma Simmons[src]
The team started to argue the idea, believing that should regroup back on Earth, as going further in space would not be smart. Jemma Simmons persisted as she did not want to let the trail go cold, but when she told James Davis to set the coordinates, he refused. He told her that they may never be able to get back from that deep in space, and Piper informed her that it would be more tactical if they returned. Quake understood Simmons' point, but she made it clear that they were incredibly strained by the mission.
The argument was interrupted when they were alerted of the Confederacy's presence, which they were confused on how they could have located them. They then shut down the Zephyr One so they would hopefully go undetected by the massive ship above them. They then watched as the ship flew over them, believing that they were safe from any detection, as they had not been destroyed yet. However, this was disproved when the destroyer ship opened fire on them. Simmons then turned the power back on and they attempted to escape the attack.
==== To Deep-Deep Space ====
: "I'm the mission leader, and that was my call to make, not yours.""Whose side are you on?""You know damn well whose side we are all on. We went to a Fire Planet for you. We followed every bread crumb trying to find him, and now we're at the end of a galaxy."
: ―Quake and Jemma Simmons[src]
As Piper went to activate the Phase Harmonic Teleportation Device, Jemma Simmons set the coordinates for Naro-Atzia, despite Quake's order to head back to Earth. The team were able to escape the Confederacy's attack and arrived at the planet momentarily.
Quake questioned Simmons on her actions, but she assured her that Leo Fitz was there, unaware that he had actually just left when they arrived. Outraged by her reckless behavior, Piper and James Davis believed that they should lock her up for putting them at risk, but Simmons reminded them that their mission was to find Fitz. Quake confirmed that Fitz was the mission, but she addressed how she made the calls and Simmons' actions were too risky. She ordered that they attempt to head back home, but Simmons refused, threatening to stay behind to continue looking.
However, they were interrupted when they received a greeting from Pretorious Pryce, who informed them that as custom, they would be boarded for inspection. Quake tried to refuse the action, trying to head back to Earth, but they were forced to be boarded as they were written into the system, which could not be reversed. Simmons saw this as a chance to ask about Fitz' whereabouts, and they waited for the inspection of their ship to occur. Quake, Simmons and Piper met with Pryce, who instructed them to hand over their weapons. When he asked about their reason for visiting Naro-Atzia, Simmons told him they were looking for Fitz.
Pryce then got mad at her for saying that name, as it then alerted a Chronicom Hunter, Malachi who was hunting Fitz. He came out from hiding and stunned Quake and Piper, but Simmons was able to evade the attack. When Pryce tried to stop the conflict, Simmons used him as a shield to maneuver to her gun, successfully reaching it. However, the fight was ended when Davis knocked out Malachi from behind. They then handcuffed him to the ship as Quake and Piper regained consciousness.
They then started to question Malachi as to what he wanted with Fitz. He revealed that Fitz was wanted for tampering with the universe. They then discovered that Fitz was initially intended to arrive at Naro-Atzia, learning that he truly was alive and that they were close to finding him. Quake then went to ask Pryce if he knew anything about the vessel Fitz was on, as Malachi told Simmons that Fitz should not be alive, which Simmons explained that he should be with them, but Malachi revealed that he should be dead due to him dying a year ago.
==== Search on Kitson ====
: "We're on a mission.""Right. What is the mission?""The mission is... Ladies' Night!"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons[src]
Johnson was informed that the ship Fitz was on did arrive but turned around and headed to Kitson. Pryce then told the team about Kitson, describing the grotesque nature of the planet, believing that Fitz must be of perverted desire to visit there.
However, despite Pryce's description of the planet, the team headed their in hopes to be reunited with Fitz. They arrived on the planet, where they came across Boyle and Toad, who Quake forced to reveal that they had encountered Fitz, stealing his ship from him, as well as revealing that he was with Enoch as well. As Davis handed them some hallucinogens, mistaking them for food, Simmons asked about Fitz' whereabouts, which they revealed either the casino or the brothels.
Quake and Simmons then proceeded to the casinos, as the effects of the hallucinogens started to kick in. Simmons joked that Fitz better be dead than in the brothels, and the two went to the counter and handed in their weapons. They then realized that they were both feeling odd, which Simmons believed to just be the different atmosphere. However, when they proceeded to enter, they started having the vision altered, causing them to not be able to walk properly. They made their way down some stairs, where they realized that it was the things they ate that were causing to feel strange.
They eventually arrived at the bar, celebrating their achievement, but completely forgetting what they were doing, thinking that it was "ladies' night." The two then sat at the bar and started to reflect on their lives, talking about how Quake used to live in a van, which they all gave the nickname the "Fartmobile," as well as Quake saying that Simmons had a "big nerd face," asking if she went to Hogwarts and if she knew any spells. As the two continued to be affected by the hallucinogens, Simmons suddenly then hallucinated a tiny Fitz in a monkey onesie dancing, which then triggered her memory as to why they were on Kitson.
Quake eventually found Simmons, spotting her feet sticking out. She then joined her, where Simmons expressed her belief that her parents were mice. She then apologized to Quake for dragging them out through space in a so far unsuccessful attempt to find Fitz, saying that she just misses him so much. Quake then expressed her envy to have her own "Fitz," which Simmons recounted her unfortunate encounters with love, but told her that she was so proud of who she had become. The two then got really emotional and expressed love for one another, when suddenly they heard a sound that sounded like a dolphin.
Shortly after, they then began to hear a piercing noise, which Simmons realized isn't from the hallucinogens, and must be coming from something. When they figured out that the noise was only perceptible to humans, and could be a signal, they believed that it must be to do with Fitz, meaning he was at the casino. They then went to find him, when they noticed some armed people enter that look similar to Malachi. Quake went to defeat them with her powers, but was too disoriented to control them. Quake then told Simmons to go find Fitz while she dealt with the enemies.
==== Captured by the Chronicoms ====
: "Hurt Fitz one more time, and I will tear this ship apart.""I've heard reports of what Quake can do, which is why Leopold Fitz is being held on another ship. If any harm comes to me, those ships will scatter across the galaxy. Behave... or you will never find him."
: ―Quake and Atarah[src]
After failing to retrieve Leo Fitz, the team, joined by Enoch, returned to the Zephyr One, where they tried to get answers form the Chronicom. As Enoch felt sorry himself, Quake and Jemma Simmons tried to figure out where Fitz would have been taken, having only one jump available as James Davis shot the fuse box while high. When Fitz was mentioned, Enoch became more depressed, knowing that his only friend was gone. However, Quake and Simmons tried to comfort him, telling Enoch that they were his friends and that he sacrificed himself to stop the extinction-level event.
Suddenly, the power in the ship went out and the team went to check on what was happening. They then noticed a Confederacy ship above them, causing them to try to retreat. However, they were stopped when a fleet of ships emerged, forcing the team to be boarded by the other ship. They quickly made their way to the where the enemies were about to enter, believing it to be the Confederacy and the Remoraths. Quake make some cover as they armed themselves.
As they aimed at the door, believing the Remorath to be getting through with ease, Enoch started to question the nature of the attack and believed it not to be the Confederacy, causing him to open the door. Another Chronicom then entered, who revealed that she knew Enoch and was there to bring him in for judgement for tampering with the universe. Enoch accepted this, and the team were taken captive by the Chronicoms, Quake and Simmons accompanying Enoch while Piper and Davis were imprisoned.
As they made their way through the ship, which they thought belonged to the Confederacy, which Atarah revealed that it used to. When Atarah was questioned by Enoch, she revealed that their planet had been destroyed from what started as some reality distortions, followed by a plague, which they failed to act on. Atarah then revealed that the Confederacy came to them to take what they had left, but they fought back and took their ship from them. This then lead to them revealing their desire to go back in time and prevent their planet's destruction.
Quake and Simmons then told Atarah that they didn't really know how they traveled through time, and that they did not want to help them, considering that they tried to kill them. Making it clear that they would not help them, Atarah then revealed Fitz being held at gunpoint by Malachi to convince them to help. Simmons went to hug Fitz, which she went through him, revealing that it was a hologram. When Malachi hit Fitz, Quake threatened to destroy the ship, which Alatrah revealed that he is not on the ship, being aware of her power.
After talking with Enoch, Atarah, growing tired of their refusal, returned and ordered Malachi to execute Fitz on her command. However, Simmons begged for her to spare him, revealing that it was a machine that controlled the Monolith. However, they did not know who created it or know of the designs, as well as it being destroyed in the future. Atarah then took these unhelpful answers as no reason to keep any of them alive, but Enoch interjected saying that if anyone could build a time machine, it would be Fitz.
Atarah then asked Enoch what could motivate Fitz, which he stated that if Simmons was to be put in danger, that could get Fitz to do anything. Atarah then took on this idea and ordered that Simmons and Fitz be kept alive, and the rest be killed. Knowing that they needed Fitz alive, Quake is told that this and she attacked the Chronicoms. The two then tried to escape, freeing Piper and Davis from their cell. As they made their way through the ship, they were surrounded by the Chronicoms, so Quake decided that they fight.
==== Parting Ways ====
: "Simmons, I... I can't leave you.""You have to. Whatever happens, at least I'll be with Fitz. We'll have each other."
: ―Quake and Jemma Simmons[src]
However, before the fight could begin, Jemma Simmons told the Chronicoms not to fire, realizing that even if they were to defeat all of them, they still wouldn't be able to escape the fleet of ships surrounding them. Quake tried to convince Simmons not to stay, but she told her that this was the end of the road. Simmons then thanked all of them for accompanying her on their mission, and told them that they can go home. Quake was assured by Simmons that she'll be fine because she will be with Leo Fitz.
Quake, James Davis and Piper return to the Zephyr One and headed for Earth. When they returned, Quake contacted the Lighthouse to inform S.H.I.E.L.D. of their arrival. Upon landing, they are greeted by Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez. As they are reunited, Mackenzie asked where were Fitz and Simmons, but they were interrupted by Trevor Khan telling them that Melinda May had captured Sarge. Quake and Mackenzie then spoke privately, where she informed him of her mission, and he told her about Sarge and how he looked exactly like Phil Coulson.
=== Sarge's Campaign ===
==== Sarge's Capture ====
: "Yeah, I'm out. This is too much.""Her, too, huh? Daddy issues?"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Sarge[src]
Johnson stood with Alphonso Mackenzie, Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Deke Shaw as Melinda May brought in Sarge. Not being able to handle seeing someone who looked exactly like Phil Coulson, Johnson left them. Johnson went to assist in repairing the Zephyr One, and was later joined by Shaw. The two reunited, although Johnson was unconcerned with Shaw's attempts to show off to her. After telling her about his company, Johnson accidentally told Shaw that Leo Fitz had died, which was unknown to him.
Later, Johnson met up with Mackenzie who tried to comfort her on seeing Sarge, but she tried to assure him she was fine. Mackenzie revealed that Sarge's DNA was the same as Coulson's, but Johnson stated Sarge wasn't Coulson. Johnson attempted to focus back on rescuing Fitz and Jemma Simmons, but Mackenzie told her he needed her to help him with his struggles doing his job. Johnson then assured him that he would be fine, and that Rodriguez should be the one helping him, not being able to believe they broke up.
Shaw then joined them to inform Mackenzie that he had fixed and hack into the Shrike Detector, finding two Shrike on Earth. When May and Rodrigues went to capture the hosts, Johnson and Mackenzie stayed at the Lighthouse. Shortly, Trevor Khan radioed them that Jaco was attacking him, so Johnson rushed to the cell and knocked Jaco out by blasting him with her powers. After May informed them of the hosts reacting, Sarge was brought in to tell them how to stop it, and Johnson passed it on to May, although, it came at the cost of Sarge's freedom.
==== Working with the Enemy ====
: "I don't know why, but a part of me feels like I could trust him. It's just a feeling.""Would you be saying that if he didn't have Coulson's face?"
: ―Melinda May and Daisy Johnson[src]
Once Sarge was released, he demanded for his crew and his truck, but they all wanted him to tell them what his plan was. Sarge eventually opened up about his plan, revealing the location of where the Shrike are heading, and Alphonso Mackenzie decided to have Johnson and Melinda May join Sarge on the mission.
Johnson, May, Sarge and Snowflake all went inside the truck and prepared to leave. When Sarge asked what Johnson could do, she informed him she was a hacker, and that she was capable in a fight. When the Shrike Repeller broke, Mackenzie had Deke Shaw join them on the mission. When they went to leave, upon Sarge's orders, Johnson joined him in the front to have an extra pair of eyes on the road.
During the drive, Johnson couldn't help staring at Sarge, curious how he could look and have the same DNA as Phil Coulson. Sarge did not see this as something to discuss, despite Johnson wanting to understand more. Johnson tried to ask about Sarge's past, but he refused to comply, sticking to the mission. Sarge then revealed to Johnson that everyone he loved had been killed by Izel, who he had been hunting for so long.
Tired of Johnson's constant questions, Sarge kicked her out, so she rejoined May. The two then discussed Sarge's presence, which Johnson was disturbed by. However, May believed she could possibly trust him, but Johnson questioned if was only because she was blinded by seeing Coulson's face. When the truck came to a hard stop, they heard Shaw scream, so they went to check on him, only to find Shaw having sex with Snowflake to their disgust.
Sarge then burst out, asking Shaw why the Shrike Repeller wasn't working, choking him in anger. Shaw went to fix it, and Sarge then offered Johnson and May breakfast, where he told them about his history hunting Izel. Sarge then revealed his sword which can kill Izel, but Johnson voiced her disbelief about it. When Sarge tested her by going to stab her, Johnson revealed her powers to him. At that moment, Sarge was notified that the Shrike were all coming together.
Johnson, May and Sarge then looked at the Shrike Tower that was forming, which Sarge informed them about, and how he needed to destroy it before Izel arrives. Johnson and May then contacted Mackenzie to give him an update, informing him about the tower and Sarge's sword. They then regrouped with Sarge, who revealed that he was going to destroy the tower with the truck and then stab Izel when she lands. When Mackenzie informed them that Sarge had an Atom Bomb on board, they tied up Snowflake and confronted Sarge.
They demanded Sarge to reveal where the bomb was located, but he refused, determined to stick to his plan. Sarge was able to escape through the front, trapping them all in the truck as it headed towards the tower, ready to explode upon impact. Having no way to get out of the truck, they began to search for the bomb. Unable to find the bomb, Johnson decided to use her powers, even thought it could trigger the bomb, to get into the front, where she discovered that Sarge was gone. Shaw soon found the bomb, and brought it out.
==== Destruction of the Shrike Tower ====
: "We're still stuck with a live nuke and whatever else is out there."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Deke Shaw[src]
As the team neared the Shrike tower, Johnson expressed doubt about defusing the Atom Bomb before colliding. As Deke Shaw was the only one who could possibly defuse the bomb, Johnson and Melinda May convinced him to try, only having three minutes until they reached the tower. They watched as Shaw attempted to defuse the bomb, but he confessed that he couldn't do it.
With nothing left but to wait for their doom, Johnson and May comforted each other in their final moments. However, at the last second, Johnson acted and used her powers to contain the blast from the bomb. After the truck destroyed the tower, Johnson let go of her hold on the blast, and collapsed, being exhausted by the amount of power she just restrained. However, they were not finished, as the bomb was still active and there was a whole swarm of Shrike outside.
After Johnson commented her disgust about Shaw and Snowflake flirting, she and May discussed their next actions, needing to get the nuke away from civilians. When they opened the door, they witnessed the Shrike flying around and head towards them. As they took safety inside the truck, the Shrike started to attack the truck, attempting to get inside. With the truck being weakened by the Shrike, they armed themselves with the Shrike Daggers and barricaded the windows.
Knowing that the Shrike would break in at every angle, Johnson opened the door, forcing the Shrike to come in at one direction. As the others fell back to protect the bomb, Johnson stood her ground and waited for the Shrike to attack. When the Shrike came through the door, Johnson used her powers to destroy the entire swarm. When they heard noise outside the truck, the wondered if it was more Shrike, however, it was Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons, who had been rescued by a team from the Lazy Comet. They all saw as Jaco took the bomb and used a portal to return to the ship and destroy it.
==== Celebration ====
: "When do I get to hear stories about deep space?""When we sit down for debrief. I saw an ocean of lava.""For real?""Yeah. I didn't think I could come back to anything more bizarre, but I should've known better."
: ―Alphonso Mackenzie and Daisy Johnson[src]
Having dealt with the Shrike, defeated Izel and locked up Sarge, they returned to the Lighthouse where all the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents held a celebration. Johnson spoke with Alphonso Mackenzie about all the new people who had joined since she left. They talked about Johnson's space adventures before Johnson noticed Mackenzie staring at Yo-Yo Rodriguez, so she brought it up, but he attempted to deny it.
After noticing Snowflake at the party, Johnson confronted Deke Shaw about her being there. Johnson reminded him that she was a murderer and should be locked up, but Shaw believed Johnson was just jealous and wanted to be with him. However, Johnson confirmed that was not the case, and asked an agent to take Snowflake away to be locked up. Johnson then listened as Mackenzie gave toast to all the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., old and new, recognizing their loyalty to the organization. After the party died down, Johnson went to unpack her belongings into her room, noticing her letter from Phil Coulson.
=== Izel's Campaign ===
==== Izel's Infiltration ====
: "She was in Davis and then she jumped into May and now who knows."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
When it was discovered that Melinda May had shot Sarge, Johnson spoke alone with her to find out why. Johnson attempted to understand the situation, but May, who was being possessed by Izel, did not provide an acceptable response. Johnson then met with Yo-Yo Rodriguez and Piper, believing something to be wrong with the situation, so she then went to retrace May's steps after the mission. While walking through the Lighthouse, Johnson discovered Diaz on the ground, having been shot, and asked her what happened, but she couldn't recall anything after guarding May's cell.
Johnson then joined Rodriguez to question James Davis about to find out what happened after the party. Davis revealed that he had no memories of the party, only coming across May, who acted strange towards him. When Davis discussed what happened during the rescue mission on the Lazy Comet, they realized that Izel had somehow possessed multiple agents, including Davis and May. With this information, they rushed to Alphonso Mackenzie to inform him of their discoveries. They explained what had happened, and Mackenzie immediately acted and locked down the Lighthouse.
The top agents all gathered in the control room and discussed how to find Izel, however, they suspected that she could be in any one of them. Johnson pointed out that Izel wasn't able to know of her host's memories, so they decided to all reveal a secret to clear themselves. Mackenzie revealed that he knew Johnson sends part of her salary to someone, which Johnson then confirmed was Amanda Campbell, clearing both of them. Mackenzie then locked Johnson and Rodriguez in his office so Izel wouldn't be able to possess them and use their power. Johnson was then able to confirm that Davis had not been possessed, revealing she knew he stole a space pen.
Piper joined them and she argued with Deke Shaw about being possessed by Izel. However, it was soon revealed that Izel was possessing Leo Fitz. Once the act was over, Izel revealed herself before the agents and began to jump between each of them, demanding them to give her what she wanted. Johnson and Rodriguez were unable to do anything except watch, as Izel made her way through the agents, and forced Davis to fall off a ledge, killing him. When Izel escaped in Mackenzie's body, Johnson broke out of the office and mourned the loss of Davis.
Johnson and Rodriguez then set out to find Izel and stop her before she killed anyone else. When May revealed where Izel had gone, Johnson and Rodriguez rushed to where the Gravity Containment Device was being contained, where they came across an unconscious Mackenzie. After he woke up, Izel came out of the room and went to possess Johnson, but was intercepted by Rodriguez. Mackenzie allowed Izel to leave the Lighthouse under the condition he accompanied her, to Johnson's confusion. Johnson then watched as the two left the base, as May found her, telling her that Mackenzie was trusting his team to find a way to stop Izel.
==== Confronting Sarge ====
: "This time, I'll actually kill you.""Go ahead. It'd be easier than doing it myself. Come on! What are you waiting for?! Do it! Kill me, Skye!"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Sarge[src]
The team then focused on locating where Izel had gone in the Zephyr One, but they were unable to get any results. Johnson discussed the situation with Piper and how they could stop Izel after she completely overwhelmed them. Johnson then checked in with the Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons and Deke Shaw in the lab, but when they started to theorize how Izel could possess their bodies amongst each other, Johnson was unable to follow.
Fitz and Shaw then left and Johnson spoke with Simmons about how Sarge was still alive, however, all they knew was that some being was possessing the body of Phil Coulson. They looked at a monitor, where Melinda May was interrogate Sarge, hoping she'll get some answers out of him. Noticing Simmons was holding back something, she revealed to Johnson that May believed that that Sarge's memories of his family were actually of them, which concerned Johnson.
Johnson then confronted May about what Simmons had told her. May told Johnson that they should try to get through to Sarge, but Johnson believed she should use force. Johnson then brought up how May was holding out hope that Coulson was somehow within Sarge and told her that they should stay focused on the thing inside Sarge that could defeat Izel. However, May argued against Johnson despite her trying to convince her that Coulson was not within Sarge. May then left, wanting Johnson to hold out hope.
While May wanted to get through to Sarge, she allowed Johnson to attempt to force answers out of him. Johnson entered Sarge's cell and brought up the other thing inside of him, knowing it was getting stronger. Sarge revealed that rage inside of him, which Johnson encouraged he let out, but he did not want to. As Johnson attempted to push Sarge, he called her out for letting her anger out on him, however, she claimed Sarge meant nothing to her and left the room.
Johnson returned to the lab, the FitzSimmons family were able to analyze Sarge's weapons, revealing to Johnson that his sword could kill Izel. However, Johnson became frustrated by the overall lack of progress, causing Simmons to confront her about how she avoids her problems. Simmons told Johnson about her pattern of walking away when things get tough, and seeing someone who looked like Coulson was difficult for her. Johnson claimed that she was fine and left them.
To take a moment to herself, Johnson returned to her room, where she took out Coulson's final letter to her, and finally decided to read it, no longer avoiding her problems. While reading the letter, Johnson became emotional, but ultimately realized that Sarge was not Coulson. Johnson returned to Sarge's cell, asking about his powers and memories. Johnson brought up that one of his memories that he could see clearer now was her, but Sarge brushed this off, seeing himself as nothing, realizing none of it belonged to him.
However, Johnson disagreed and used her powers to snap Sarge's neck, in hopes to get his true self to come out. When Simmons noticed what Johnson did, she spoke to her through the comms, and Johnson revealed that she was right about her avoiding her problems. Johnson then explained to Simmons that Sarge was definitely not Coulson, and that killing him was the way to get the thing that could kill Izel out of him. Simmons revealed that Sarge was still alive, and Johnson sat and waited for Sarge to wake up.
Once Sarge awoke, Johnson attempted to question him again about Izel's plans, knowing he obtained more memories now. Sarge demanded her to get out of his way, but Johnson refused, wanting answers, threatening to kill him again if she had to. Now stronger, Sarge attacked Johnson, knocking her away, allowing him to make his escape. Johnson then rushed to the lab and grabbed the sword to confront Sarge, but when Simmons raised the idea of saving Coulson, Johnson stated that he was gone for good.
Johnson followed the trail of destruction Sarge had left, and May told her to wait for backup, but Johnson told her that it had to be her to deal with Sarge as May believed Coulson was still within him. Johnson found Sarge, who demanded that she gave him the sword, but she refused. When Johnson threatened to kill Sarge, he encouraged her to do it, as he feared he would become out of control and kill everyone. As Johnson went to strike, Sarge referred to her as "Skye," causing her to hesitate.
As Sarge ordered her to kill him, Johnson questioned him more about his memories, now suspecting that he truly may be Coulson. Understanding that this sacrifice play would be exactly what Coulson would have done, Johnson dropped the sword and hugged him, no longer seeing him as a threat, but as hope for Coulson to be alive. Johnson returned to her room and read Coulson's letter again, having now changed her view on Sarge. May joined her, and they discussed Sarge, both now believing Coulson to be within him.
==== Chasing Izel ====
: "You really think this man is Coulson?""Maybe not all of him, but he remembered my name. He called me Skye. How would he have known that?"
: ―Alphonso Mackenzie and Daisy Johnson[src]
With Sarge on their side to help them defeat Izel and rescue Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez, Johnson took charge and spoke to the agents about the mission plan. Leo Fitz, Jemma Simmons and Deke Shaw informed Johnson of the Sonic Barrier Cuffs they created to prevent Izel from possessing them, as well as the Shrike Bullets to kill the Shrike hosts.
With the plan created, and the team fully equipped, Quake left with Melinda May, Sarge and Piper in a Quinjet to the Zephyr One's location. As they flew, Quake and May discussed Sarge, wondering if he would be ready to stop Izel with whatever is within him. May hoped that once Sarge used the rage inside him, if there was a chance of getting Phil Coulson out go him; however, Quake was doubtful, not knowing how any of it would work. Once they arrived, they entered the Zephyr One, only to find it empty and badly damaged by Izel.
They then made contact with the team back at the Lighthouse, to give them an update, but Sarge informed them that Izel could possibly hear their communications, so they decided to go radio silent. Quake, May and Sarge then headed to the Temple of the Forgotten as Piper stayed to repair the Zephyr One. As they walked, Quake asked Sarge more about his sword and his memories until a Shrike host appeared, which Sarge was able to kill. Quake asked if there was any way to save the people infected, but Sarge confirmed they were dead.
Quake noted that she killed a massive horde of Shrike previously, so there wouldn't be many left, however, they were then surrounded by a group of Shrike hosts. Quake took out her gun to prepare for a fight, but she was grabbed from behind by a host, so she fought him off as the Shrike attempted to enter her mouth. Quake was able to shoot the host several times and regrouped with May and Sarge. As Sarge suspected that they blew their cover and Izel would be aware of their presence, when he killed a host that was still alive, his mannerisms reminded Quake and May of Coulson.
As the proceeded to head towards the temple, Quake and May discussed what they just witnessed in Sarge, which May was certain was a sign Coulson was in there, but Quake remained cautious. Sarge them informed them that Izel had created an army, which was too much for them to kill with just the bullets. Quake decided that she would create a diversion to attract the army so May and Sarge could get inside the temple. Quake separated from the two, and used her powers to lead the hosts away from the temple's entrance.
With the hosts chasing after her, Quake ran away until she returned to the Zephyr One, where she was reunited with Mackenzie and Rodriguez. Johnson informed them of the army of hosts behind her, telling them they had to take off immediately, as well as revealing that May and Sarge were at the temple. The three then discussed the Zephyr One's condition, where Quake learned that Flint was created from the Monoliths, causing them to argue with each other. Suddenly, they were attacked by the hosts, who had infiltrated the Zephyr One, so they retreated.
With everyone stressed from the mission and the horde of hosts inside the Zephyr One, Mackenzie called out Quake's decision to trust Sarge, but she told him that Sarge began to remember being Coulson and that he was the only one who could kill Izel. However, Mackenzie was not convinced by this and told Quake about how he was taught that the devil was capable of deceiving people to trust him, but Quake assured Mackenzie that Sarge was not the devil.
==== Battle at the Temple of the Forgotten ====
: "I should've never trusted him. I should've...""No. It wasn't right for me to judge–""No, don't... don't... don't do that. Don't you walk it back. I did this. May... This is on me."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
When Quake made contact with the Lighthouse, they learned that Sarge stabbed and killed Melinda May. Quake immediately blamed herself, as she was the one who chose to trust Sarge instead of killing him when she had the chance, despite Alphonso Mackenzie attempts to comfort her. However, their mourning was interrupted when Deke Shaw radioed in, requesting to be rescued from the Quinjet. Not being able to go to Shaw, they instructed him on piloting the Quinjet to their location.
As Mackenzie helped Shaw, Quake and Yo-Yo Rodriguez went to reinforce the door so the Shrike hosts won't get to them. Before the could secure the door, the hosts broke through, having accessed the armory, but Rodriguez was able to use her powers to kill all of them. However, a wild Shrike managed to infect Rodriguez, going inside her mouth, so Quake brought her back to Mackenzie. Shaw managed to land the Quinjet onto the Zephyr One, and they all got on the jet and headed back to the Temple of the Forgotten.
Quake attempted to assure Rodriguez that they will be able to save her from being killed by the Shrike. However, Rodriguez told Quake to stab her with a Shrike Dagger if she turned as Mackenzie wouldn't be able to do it, which she accepted. Although, Quake continued to believe they would save her, having her top focus be on getting revenge on Sarge for killing May. They soon arrived at the temple and made their way to the location of Izel and Sarge to kill them.
When they found Sarge standing by the portal, Quake immediately attacked him using her powers, but she had no impact on Sarge, only revealing his true form, as he had unlocked his full power. Sarge calmly walked up to Quake and knocked her down with ease, but before she could return to the fight, Rodriguez began to turn. Rodriguez gave Quake the dagger to use on her, but she struggled to kill her friend, despite her pleas to end her suffering.
When Mackenzie came to Rodriguez's side, Quake gave him the dagger, not being able to kill her. Quake then went to deal with Sarge, who questioned why they continued to fight against them as they were far more powerful than any of them. As Sarge explained to Quake how he would ensure her suffering, Izel snuck up behind her, but was killed by May, who returned through the portal. May threw Mackenzie Sarge's Sword, and Quake used her powers to bring out Sarge's true form, so Mackenzie could kill him.
With Izel and Sarge killed, the portal closed and Rodriguez saved, Quake quickly went to May's side, who was dying from her stab wound, having decided to return to Earth. After Quake informed her that they succeeded, May asked her if there was any part of Phil Coulson left from Sarge, but she informed her there wasn't, much to both of their disappointment. As Quake held her in her arms, May found comfort in getting to see Coulson again in death, and she then passed away, leaving the others to mourn her death.
=== Chronicoms Conflict ===
==== Reunion with Phil Coulson ====
: "You're an LMD.""No. No... No!"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
Suddenly, Jemma Simmons arrived at the Temple of the Forgotten stating that Melinda May will survive, while agents collected pieces of the Di'Allas. They all boarded the Zephyr One, confused on what was going on, as the plane looked different, and Simmons was acting strange. Simmons also revealed that she did not know the location of Leo Fitz, as well as informing them of the Chronicoms' plans to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D..
Simmons then contacted Fitz, and told Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie to prepare for launch, departing the temple. After the jump, Johnson opened the cockpit to discover that the Zephyr One was on autopilot. When she looked out the window, Johnson saw the Empire State Building, which was the only tall building, leading to them learning that Simmons had upgraded the Phase Harmonic Teleportation Device to have the ability to travel through time. Taking in all of this new information, Johnson voiced her desire for a drink, but realized that alcohol was illegal during 1931.
Simmons then informed them that because of there need to have a strong understanding of S.H.I.E.L.D. history to stop the Chronicoms, they built an advanced Life-Model Decoy of Phil Coulson. Simmons then brought Johnson and Mackenzie to the LMD of Coulson, where Enoch provided them with the activation button. When Simmons asked for their thoughts, Mackenzie began to consider the ramifications, but Johnson, without hesitation, hit the button, activating the LMD. They all then watched as the LMD version of Coulson awoke and greeted them all, leaving them silent.
Johnson continued to watch in awe of Coulson, as Simmons started to explain the situation to him. But seeing that Coulson knew something wasn't right and that there was no easy way to say it, Johnson revealed to him that he was an LMD. This shock caused Coulson to become overwhelmed as he started to experience everything he missed all at once, so Johnson attempted to comfort him through the process. However, Mackenzie decided to shut Coulson down, telling both of them that LMDs were a Director level decision.
They then returned to the rest of the team as Simmons further explained the Chronicoms' plan to eliminate S.H.I.E.L.D. throughout history. Simmons informed them of how the upgrades to the Zephyr One worked, that they couldn't travel to any time, but only specific points in time and space, which Fitz called Tides. Johnson questioned why they were in the year 1931, as S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't exist until the 1950s, but Simmons did not know.
Simmons then led them to the new control room, which they were all impressed by. After Simmons reintroduced them to Enoch, Johnson asked her about the upgrades, which Simmons explained was simple to do. Mackenzie told the agents to get ready, and when they discussed Shaw's last instance of traveling to the past, where he got drunk, Johnson told him about Prohibition, much to his shock. Mackenzie also told Johnson to remove the purple in her hair. Johnson then spoke with Simmons about May's status and how long they've been apart.
==== Keeping a Low Profile ====
: "What's a gal like you doing trying to be a Mountie? Can't you find a husband?""Okay. Yeah, I mean, I wish that I could hold on to a husband. But for some reason, they just end up with broken ribs whenever they give me lip. Now move, or a gal like me will knock out a guy like you in front of people like them."
: ―Fischer and Daisy Johnson[src]
When they discovered that the Chronicoms had changed history, Johnson accompanied Alphonso Mackenzie, Phil Coulson and Deke Shaw to investigate. After they went through a secret passage, they were all in complete awe of 1930s New York.
As they walked through the streets, Johnson expressed her newfound understanding to Shaw of what is what like to be in the past. When Coulson informed them of what people during this time were yet to experience, Johnson wondered what would happen if they saw her powers. When Mackenzie reiterated that they were there to keep history in tact, which made Johnson worry if their presence was already changed history. Shaw then explained to them the Timestream theory, where as long as they didn't do anything too major, they wouldn't change history.
After Shaw handed them some plastic badges, which they were unimpressed by, they arrived at the building where the Chronicoms stole the faces of some NYPD officers. After Coulson and Mackenzie explained to Officer Fischer that they were Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Johnson went to enter the building, but was stopped by Fischer, who made fun of her for being a Mountie. Annoyed by the sexism during the time period, Johnson threatened to beat up Fischer in front of everyone if he didn't move, so he let them in.
Once they entered, Johnson examined the faceless bodies as Coulson pointed out one still with his face. When Shaw discovered bottles of alcohol, Johnson realized he was a bootlegger, as Coulson remembered a speakeasy that used to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. warehouse. Mackenzie then tasked Johnson and Shaw to stay and work on the victims, while he and Coulson went to investigate the speakeasy. After they left, Johnson enquired Shaw about where the device goes, which Shaw told her it could be plugged in anywhere. He then stabbed the needle into one of the bodies heads, much to Johnson's disgust.
Growing impatient, Johnson asked Deke Shaw how much longer, which he explained the complicated process of reconstructing the stolen faces. When they heard sirens, Johnson looked out the window to find a police car arriving, so she decided to exit the building to stop any officers from coming inside. Johnson was greeted by two officers, who were actually Chronicoms, who she told that the crime scene was a part of case she was working on. One of the officers told her of a suspicious truck behind the building, so Johnson went with him to inspect it.
When the came across the truck, Johnson saw the officer pull out his gun, so she disarmed him and the two fought. When Shaw found Johnson, he told her that the cops were Chronicoms, allowing Johnson to use her powers to defeat him. Johnson and Shaw then stole the truck with Cain in it and drove back to the Zephyr One.
When they returned to the plane, Simmons told them off for stealing a truck, going against what she told them about changing history. Johnson explained why they did it, revealing that they captured a Chronicom with them. When they discovered him coming back online, Simmons told them to tie him up so they could get answers out of him about the Chronicoms' plan.
==== Attack on Freddy Malick ====
: "Quake. I've been looking forward to this.""Huh. Well, sorry... this is just another fight for me."
: ―Abel and Daisy Johnson[src]
The team soon got word from Alphonso Mackenzie and Phil Coulson that the Chronicom Hunters were going to kill Franklin D. Roosevelt while he's still a Governor at a political party to insure he never founds the Strategic Scientific Reserve which would later become S.H.I.E.L.D.. Johnson and Deke Shaw got dressed up and arrived as a couple to assist.
Coulson asked the two if they recognized any of the officers, which they didn't, but Johnson noted that there was one other Chronicom they didn't identify when they were ambushed. When Mackenzie discussed the Chronicoms waiting for FDR, Coulson made a dad joke, which Johnson understood but did not laugh at. Mackenzie ordered Johnson and Coulson to take position at the door and wait for FDR to protect him. When Coulson left, Johnson asked Mackenzie how Coulson was doing, which he claimed he was "himself", but commented that she knew him better.
Johnson then joined Coulson, apologizing for activating him, knowing that Phil Coulson was against being brought back in any way. Coulson commented on the surreal nature of his existence, having data of everything he did that wasn't actually him, including dying and the letter he wrote for Johnson. Johnson then offered to let Coulson read the letter later, and they then discovered FDR enter the building. The two discussed FDR, who Coulson was more excited about, which Johnson called out, and they listened to his speech.
As Coulson discussed the benefits of being a Life-Model Decoy, Johnson addressed how the Chronicoms haven't made a move yet to assassinate FDR. When they spotted FDR leaving, Johnson and Coulson quickly went to follow and protect him believing the Chronicoms would kill him once he's out of sight. Johnson and Coulson found FDR and alerted him, but they discovered that the Chronicoms weren't there. After Johnson watched as Coulson met one of his heroes, Mackenzie and Shaw joined them and they discussed what they were missing.
Simmons then radioed in to them, revealing that the Chronicoms' target was someone named Freddy, so they rushed to try and save him. Johnson soon came across the Chronicoms about to kill Freddy, so she blasted them away into the kitchen. One of the Chronicoms revealed his long desire to kill her, but Johnson replied that it was just another fight for her. Johnson began to fight the two Chronicoms, but was greatly outmatched.
Fortunately, Coulson arrived and helped her, and they each fought a Chronicom. As Johnson fought Abel, she found herself being thrown around due to his more advanced fighting abilities. Johnson desperately did everything she could to fend off Abel's attacks, but she was unable to get the upper hand. After Coulson defeated Luke, he helped Johnson with Abel, passing her a steel pipe, which she made reference to 1930s baseball as she knocked him out of the kitchen. The two then took Viola and left, heading for the speakeasy.
==== Debating HYDRA's Future ====
: "If HYDRA doesn't form, then S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't form in response.""Well, because it doesn't have to. I mean, think about all the future lives we'll save if there's no Freddy Malick."
: ―Phil Coulson and Daisy Johnson[src]
They contacted Jemma Simmons to meet them at the speakeasy, where Johnson met Ernest Koenig, the grandfather to the Koenig S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, who she wasn't fond of after he called her a broad. While they discussed Freddy Malick, Koenig revealed that his last name was Malick, causing them to realize he is the father of Gideon Malick and the Chronicoms' plan was to kill him so HYDRA never advances and takes over S.H.I.E.L.D.. They then both came to the realization that to save S.H.I.E.L.D., they had to save HYDRA.
As Johnson and Phil Coulson attempted to stabilize Viola, Koenig questioned who they really were and threatened them if any harm had came to Malick, which Johnson responded would be a good thing. Simmons and Yo-Yo Rodriguez then arrived, and they discussed taking Viola to a hospital, although Johnson wanted to get answers out of her first. As Simmons removed the bullet, Johnson and Coulson updated Rodriguez on the situation with Alphonso Mackenzie and Deke Shaw being with Malick, who they couldn't contact.
When Coulson stated that they were protecting Malick's life so there wouldn't be any consequences, but Johnson questioned this, believing that if they let Malick be killed, then HYDRA would never form, and therefore never would S.H.I.E.L.D.. Johnson saw this as a positive, seeing no need to have S.H.I.E.L.D. exist if HYDRA was to be wiped out. However, Coulson and Simmons stated that they couldn't disrupt the timeline, as it would cause something else to form that they would not know of.
Koenig then informed them that the police were searching for Malick, so they would have to leave. After Coulson contacted Enoch to inform him they were on their way, they learned that Melinda May had awoken from inside the Healing Pod. Before they could leave, Koenig revealed that police had already arrived, so he directed them to a secret room in his office to hide in. The team then waited as Luke and Abel searched the speakeasy, where Johnson and Simmons had to restrain Viola, who woke up and attempted to scream.
The Chronicoms soon left, even though Viola shattered a bottle, almost alerting them. Johnson noticed Rodriguez looking at the bottle as it fell and failing to act so it didn't shatter. They then all came out and began to interrogate Viola, wondering what she wanted with Malick. They weren't able to get any answers out of her, but Simmons spotted a green droplet on her shoe, which she began to investigate. While Simmons conducted her experiment, Johnson checked in with Enoch about reaching Mackenzie and Shaw, but he had not be successful.
Johnson then sat with Rodriguez to ask her about what happened with the bottle shattering. Rodriguez claimed that she did not see it fall, but Johnson told her that she saw Rodriguez looking at it. Rodriguez then revealed to Johnson that she froze, thinking it could be to do with the Shrike infecting her body. Simmons then completed her experiment, revealing that the droplet was a key ingredient to the Super Soldier Serum that would be introduced during World War II, creating the Red Skull.
Upon learning what Malick was doing and what it would result in, Johnson believed that they should stop him before. Coulson argued against Johnson, knowing that they shouldn't do anything to disrupt the timeline, but Johnson claimed it to be Mackenzie's decision. Johnson then demanded Viola to tell them where Malick was heading, which she accidentally revealed, after Koenig cleared up that she was referring to Hell's Harbor. Koenig refused to give them directions unless they took him with them, so they agreed to the deal.
==== Ambush at Hell's Harbor ====
: "I know what I said about the butterfly effect, but we can't pass up this opportunity. He's Wilfred Malick. He's gonna be a major player in HYDRA. And if you kill him right now, you will save thousands of lives."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Deke Shaw[src]
When the team returned to the Zephyr One, they discovered Melinda May brutally beating Enoch until Phil Coulson stopped her. Johnson and the others watched as May reacted to Coulson, only to be surprised by her lack of a reaction to him. After May was sedated and returned to the Healing Pod, Johnson discussed this with Coulson.
They then brought Ernest Koenig on board, where he was overwhelmed by being on what he perceived as a rocketship, suspecting them to being Martians. Koenig then provided them with directions to Hell's Harbor, and as they made their way, they learned about the Time Window closing in seventeen minutes, so Johnson went to contact Alphonso Mackenzie and Deke Shaw. Johnson was able to make contact with Shaw, telling them to be ready for departure as soon as they arrive.
When Shaw revealed that they were with Freddy Malick, Johnson attempted to tell him that he was not who they thought he was. When Johnson learned that Shaw had a gun, she went with her impulse and ordered him to kill Malick. Shaw was hesitant to go through with Johnson's order, but she told him that he would be saving many lives if he killed Malick, manipulating him to do this for her. As they arrived at Hell's Harbor, the team prepared to rescue Mackenzie and Shaw, with Johnson suggesting Yo-Yo Rodriguez to stay on the Zephyr One.
Johnson, Coulson, Koenig and Enoch got inside the car and drove to where the Chronicoms were attacking Mackenzie and Shaw. They all then regrouped and took cover as they attempted to take out the Chronicoms. With three minutes before the Zephyr One departed, Koenig and Enoch went to find Malick, while the others attempted to retreat, with Johnson suggesting she use her powers to cover them. However, the attack on them stopped, as the Chronicoms left, so the team decided to rush back to the Zephyr One.
Once they made it back to the Zephyr One, Johnson expressed her disgust in letting HYDRA rise, and Jemma Simmons informed them that they had to leave immediately so they wouldn't be torn apart. However, Enoch had not made it back yet, but Mackenzie gave the order to close the door, as they had no time left to wait for him. But, as the door closed, they witnessed Enoch rushing back to them, causing them to call out to him to make it. Unfortunately, the door closed and the Zephyr One departed 1931, leaving Enoch behind.
==== Traveling to 1955 ====
: "Our giant spaceship just appeared in the sky in 1955?""Let's hope we didn't attract too much attention."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
Upon their arrival in a different time period, Zephyr One started to fall, before its autopilot pulled them out of the dive. Once they landed, Johnson turned on the cloaking to hide their presence. Johnson questioned why they hadn't returned to their time, so Jemma Simmons turned on a walkie-talkie and discovered that they were in 1955 outside of Area 51. When Simmons explained that they were not in their time was because the mission was not over, Alphonso Mackenzie called out Johnson's recent actions that almost jeopardized the mission.
Johnson attempted to defend her actions, but Mackenzie told her that they were only stopping the Chronicoms' plans and nothing else. Johnson then listened to Simmons explain how the Zephyr One made jumps through time, learning that they didn't know where they'd jump to. They then started to formulate a plan, and once Phil Coulson commented on Area 51 being a S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Johnson was surprised, calling back to her days as a conspiracy theorist.
Coulson continued, revealing that during 1955, Area 51 was working on a project called Helius, which Simmons explained was an early attempt at an Ion Fusion Reactor, but it never functioned properly. However, Deke Shaw revealed that in his future, Ion Fusion was used to power the weapons on the ships that could destroy enemy ships, which Johnson noted would be exactly what the Chronicoms could use to disable their ship, preventing them from following the Chronicoms through time.
==== Kidnapping of Gerald Sharpe ====
: "But odd is the new normal. I mean, you are a highly sophisticated robot version of yourself, and we're in a diner in the '50s."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Phil Coulson[src]
In order to infiltrate Area 51, they decided to kidnap Gerald Sharpe, so Johnson, Phil Coulson, Alphonso Mackenzie and Yo-Yo Rodriguez acquired era appropriate clothes and went to Flying Rocket Diner. As they waited, Johnson sat and ate with Coulson as they talked about Melinda May's behavior. They both agreed that May robotic nature was normal, but her lack of a section to seeing Coulson was strange, which Johnson believed she would have been happy to see him.
Johnson then made note of how odd was the new normal for them, with Coulson being an advanced LMD and that they're in the 1950s. Coulson then began to express his liking for the time period, but Johnson pointed out the prominent presence of discrimination. They then spotted Sharpe enter the diner, and when he requested creamer for his coffee, Johnson took the opportunity to drug the creamer. Johnson then approached Sharpe and gave him the drugged creamer, which allowed them to drag the unconscious Sharpe back to Zephyr One.
With Sharpe kidnapped, they had Coulson pretend to be him in order to infiltrate Area 51, along with Jemma Simmons, who they disguised as Peggy Carter, deciding to get creative with it. Johnson and Deke Shaw went through all they files they could find to help the mission. May joined them, despite being ordered to rest, as she wanted to be involved, so they informed her of the mission, with Johnson explaining how they had Coulson and Simmons take on other people's identities.
==== Confronted by Deke Shaw ====
: "An agent has to take orders, and it isn't always fun.""Yeah, from my commander. Not from you.""I outrank you, and if you want to get technical–""Daisy, he was a kid!""I don't expect you to understand, but Wilfred Malick isn't some innocent kid. He's... He's, like... the Grand Wizard of HYDRA."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Deke Shaw[src]
Johnson and Deke Shaw continued to look through the files of people present at Area 51, he commented on the messy conflict between Johnson and Alphonso Mackenzie. Johnson noted that the whole situation was messy, and Shaw told her to not put the weight of committing murder upon him.
Johnson reminded Shaw that agents sometimes have to take difficult orders, which Shaw responded that Mackenzie was his commander, not Johnson. Johnson attempted to explain herself to Shaw, but he called her out for wanting him to kill a child. Johnson informed Shaw of how Freddy Malick was not innocent, and would go on to expand HYDRA, which would infiltrate every government and corporate entity, resulting in horror. Johnson justified her decision to kill one life by revealing that it would save countless lives, but Shaw noted that he would be responsible for that one death.
Johnson then brought up who Shaw used to be when she first met him, being comfortable with doing bad things for good reasons. However, Shaw told Johnson that since leaving that timeline, he no longer wanted to be that person, which she acknowledged. After their dispute, Johnson noticed Daniel Sousa's file, and explained who he was to Shaw, being the former partner of Peggy Carter. Because Jemma Simmons was pretending to be Carter, Johnson realized that if he were to arrive at Area 51, he could bust them.
==== Meeting Daniel Sousa ====
: "I don't exist and we never met. Now, can you shut the door, please?""Not to be rude, but it's been one of those days, so produce some credentials or I'm gonna put you in handcuffs.""Here. I should inform you that's not my real name. My initials are "C", "I", and "A". Catch my drift?"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Daniel Sousa[src]
After being informed by Phil Coulson of Daniel Sousa's arrival, Johnson was sent to rescue him and Jemma Simmons, who had been arrested. Johnson snuck into Sousa's office and waited for him to arrive, disguised as being an agent from the CIA. Once Sousa arrived, he demanded to know who she was, so Johnson revealed that she was from the CIA and commented that she knew of the Infiltration into Area 51, getting his attention.
Johnson then used her future knowledge to talk about Sousa's past, convincing him of her identity. Now believing Johnson was truly with the CIA, he asked about the report he sent to them about a possible infiltration in S.H.I.E.L.D. of sleeper agents from World War II, which Johnson commented that he wasn't wrong about it. Johnson then told him that the key to proving his theory was Coulson and Simmons, so Sousa took her to see them.
As Johnson and Sousa made their way to the cells, Sousa expressed how he knew there was something strange about the infiltrators he locked up. Once they arrived, Sousa released Coulson and Simmons, and Johnson requested some time alone with them so they could continue their mission. However, Sousa refused to leave them alone, but when an alarm went off, Coulson threw him into the cell and locked him in, as they went to investigate, with Johnson promising that they were the good guys.
Johnson, Coulson and Simmons went outside, where they witnessed Helius being activated. After learning that it couldn't be turned off from Pascal Vega, Johnson asked about the visitor's locations, with Coulson telling Vega to begin an evacuation, although they all knew that there wasn't enough time to get to safety. Melinda May and Yo-Yo Rodriguez then joined them and went after the Chronicom that had infiltrated the base, as the rest of them went to try and stop Helius from exploding.
The three made their way to the lab, where Johnson rushed to the computers in hopes to hack them so she could potentially stop Helius. However, she was unable to due to as the computer was older than what she was used to, so Simmons asked her to help her fixing the EMP Generator. When a man walked in, Johnson attempted to evacuate him, but he attacked her, revealing that he was a Chronicom. Coulson charged at the Chronicom, knocking him out of the room, which made Johnson comment of Coulson's new strength. By helping Simmons, the two were able to fix the EMP, and activate it, stoping Helius and the Chronicoms.
==== Saving Daniel Sousa ====
: "Cool. Writing some new history. Copy that."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Alphonso Mackenzie[src]
Due to the EMP Generator going off, Phil Coulson was shut down and arrested by Daniel Sousa, so Johnson and Jemma Simmons returned to Zephyr One. From the assistance of Enoch, Coulson made contact with the team, informing them that it was the day that Sousa died. They then discussed how the Chronicoms killed Niles Lindmore, who was meant to deliver a device to Sousa, so they planned to keep the mission on track with history.
When Yo-Yo Rodriguez returned to the Zephyr with the device, the team looked at it, all unimpressed by it, except for Simmons, who was overwhelmed with excitement about it, comparing it to the Rosetta Stone of S.H.I.E.L.D. technology. However, they were all confused when Melinda May began to get equally excited as Simmons about the device. With the device now in their possession, Johnson joined Alphonso Mackenzie and May to meet up with Coulson on the train with Sousa to complete the mission.
Once May piloted the Quinjet above the train, Johnson and Mackenzie boarded it, where they came across Sousa being attacked, so Johnson and Mackenzie helped him out, knocking out the people trying to kill him. After Johnson and Sousa greeted each other again, Mackenzie revealed their true identities to Sousa, who discovered Coulson didn't have the package. Johnson informed Sousa that they had the device, and they decided to bring him on board the Quinjet and back to the Zephyr to keep him safe.
When Sousa stepped onto the Zephyr, he was amazed and confused by the advanced technology, so he asked what group they were with, but Johnson told him that he hadn't heard of them, to prevent him from finding out the truth. After Jemma Simmons escorted May to check on her, the rest showed Sousa to the device they acquired. They then began to discuss who were the ones after the device, which Sousa revealed that he believed there had been an infiltration in S.H.I.E.L.D. by HYDRA, which they all confirmed. They then realized that Wilfred Malick was behind it as well as Deke Shaw's kidnapping.
Johnson then sat with Sousa as he took in the news that they revealed to him about HYDRA being within S.H.I.E.L.D.. Sousa then expressed his anger for Johnson's secrecy as well as being told he couldn't act on the infiltration, but Johnson told him that exposing Malick wouldn't do anything, however, Sousa was determined about wanting to stop HYDRA. While Sousa become more anxious about making the delivery, Mackenzie called Johnson in to speak with her. Mackenzie revealed to Johnson and Coulson that they were going to save Sousa from being killed, which Johnson was in support for. However, they soon discovered that Sousa had escaped on a motorcycle.
With Mackenzie making the decision to save Sousa from his death during the mission, the team quickly boarded the Quinjet to get to him before his killer did. Johnson joined the team with Mackenzie, Coulson and Simmons as May flew them, and once they landed, Johnson and Simmons got changed to prepare to execute the plan. After having Coulson pretend to be Sousa so he could fake his death, Johnson and Simmons arrived at the scene, impersonating morticians. Johnson and Simmons collected Coulson from the pool so no one would know the truth and returned to the Zephyr.
Having successfully faked Sousa's death, the team brought him back on board, where they had him resting from being shot with an I.C.E.R.. Mackenzie expressed his sorrow in leaving Enoch behind again, but Johnson assured him that being a Chronicom would allow him to wait for them in their next time period, which she hoped was the present. The team then made their next jump, and Deke Shaw hijacked a radio, only for them to learn they were in 1973 after hearing the song No More Mr. Nice Guy.
==== Encountering the Malicks Again ====
: "Freddy's son Nathaniel is still alive, and he was also supposed to die in 1970.""Another change in the timeline. Get any intel?""No. But I did get a clue on where we could find some."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Daniel Sousa[src]
After arriving in 1973, the team realized they needed to retrieve Enoch from The Krazy Kanoe before they jumped again. So, Johnson, Phil Coulson, Melinda May and Daniel Sousa went to find him. After she, Coulson and May acquired era appropriate clothing, Johnson waited for Sousa outside store, who ended up staying in his suit. Sousa then voiced his shock for the future as well as him being pulled out of the timeline, which Johnson recommended they stopped talking about.
They arrived at the bar, but once they entered it, they discovered a party was currently being held, so they went to find Enoch. When May returned after asking about Enoch, she returned to Johnson at a booth, drunk, revealing that he had not been seen within a year. When Rick Stoner made a speech, he introduced Wilfred Malick, which shocked the team, as they knew of his death in 1970, which had been somehow prevented. They then watched as Wilfred revealed Project Insight, something they also were shocked at, as the project wouldn't exist until 2014.
As Johnson was sitting at a table, she looked at someone standing in the corner, when she was then greeted by his brother, who Johnson realized was Gideon Malick. Gideon sat with Johnson she attempted to find out about his father, but he began to hit on her. When Gideon became more aggressive in his approach, Johnson attempted to leave, but he tried to stop her, only for Sousa to come rescue her, posing as her fiancée. As the walked away, Johnson told Sousa what she was able to get from questioning Gideon.
Remembering the secret room that was in the bar from when she was there in 1931, Johnson and Sousa snuck into it, where they found a computer, which Johnson was able to hack into with ease, due to no firewall. Johnson was able to find the list of targets for Project Insight, including people who wouldn't be threats to HYDRA until the future, like Bruce Banner, making Sousa think that timeline was worse off due to their interference. Sousa then realized that HYDRA could only have gotten future knowledge from the Chronicoms, and they went to leave the bar.
After they exited the secret room, Coulson and May went to follow them, but they were stopped by Wilfred, who was then joined by the Chronicom Hunters. As Johnson and Sousa watched Coulson and May become surrounded, they discussed what their move would be. Johnson spotted Nathaniel, and decided to take him hostage to leverage Wilfred. When the Chronicoms attempted to eliminate the team, Wilfred stopped them, allowing them to escape with Nathaniel. Once they were outside of the bar, Johnson let Nathaniel free, but she was followed by a few Hunters, who she knocked out with her powers. Needing an escape, Enoch pulled up in a car and drove them to the Zephyr.
==== Stopping Project Insight ====
: "Looks like I missed a lot.""I'm sorry. This is so weird and messed up. But the Chronicoms jumped, we have to dive in after them. Without us, it's way worse."
: ―Daniel Sousa and Daisy Johnson[src]
Once they returned to Zephyr One, the team discussed HYDRA starting up Project Insight early with the Chronicoms help in the Lighthouse, and how they could stop it.
Suddenly, the Time Window was about to close as the Chronicoms were leaving early, forcing them to jump three years forward, where Project Insight had been completed. Daniel Sousa then expressed his anger to Johnson about jumping forward in time without direction, however, she was unable to answer his questions. Alphonso Mackenzie then gathered the team and informed them of the mission to stop Project Insight, with Johnson and Sousa being tasked with hacking into the security feed to check for any prisoners of HYDRA.
Johnson and Sousa arrived at the security system, and as she started to hack into it, Sousa asked Johnson about her powers, which she didn't fully explain to him. Sousa then expressed staying behind in 1976 after the mission, but Johnson assured him they were just having a setback. They then talked about modern technology, with Johnson showing Sousa her phone, which amazed him, but then made him sad about missing out on so much time and not getting to say some goodbyes, which Johnson apologized for, explaining how crazy the whole situation was. Johnson was then able to successfully hack in, giving the team access to the surveillance system.
==== Kidnapped by Nathaniel Malick ====
: "Everything I want is right here, flowing through your veins.""This isn't the super serum. This is genetics.""Yeah, but I'm rich. It, uh, cuts down some barriers. Plus, HYDRA families keep in touch. I mean, Dr. Reinhardt has some very helpful tips."
: ―Nathaniel Malick and Daisy Johnson[src]
As Phil Coulson and Melinda May made their way through the Lighthouse, Johnson gave them access to the each checkpoint. When she asked Daniel Sousa to help open a panel, Nathaniel Malick ambushed them, knocking them out with a Chronicom Rifle. Malick then put their unconscious bodies into his truck and drove away.
Upon waking up, Johnson and Sousa discovered that they could barley move their bodies, due to being drugged, which Sousa compared to being in a field hospital, a story Johnson wanted to hear once she had recovered. After failing to use her powers, they were then joined by Malick, who revealed that he didn't have an interest in HYDRA or their beliefs, but instead was interest in the two of them. Malick explained that ever since he witnessed Johnson use her powers, he was determined to obtain them for himself, and was given advice on how to go about it from Daniel Whitehall.
Hearing the name of the man who tortured and killed her mother, Johnson threatened to kill Malick so he wouldn't do the same to her. However, when she attempted to use her powers, she was still unable to, so Malick decided to begin his experimentation, starting with Johnson, so she was taken away. Malick proceeded to perform on Johnson, collecting samples from her body, including blood, spinal fluids and some glands. Unknown to Malick, Johnson was able to grab a shard of glass and hide it in her hand. After Malick finished, he decided to return Johnson with Sousa, as any thing would likely kill her.
As Johnson was in a weakened state, she attempted to tell Sousa how this type of experimentation had happened before with her mother, but she could barley stay awake. Seeing that Johnson was struggling, Sousa comforted her and told her the story of how a fellow soldier stayed by his side after his injury, assuring him that they were going to go home. Sousa then carried on the gesture, telling Johnson that they would get free and return to the team. Johnson then revealed to Sousa the glass in her hand, which he took out, giving him a chance to plan their escape.
When a guard entered, Sousa was able to use the glass to attack and knock him out, allowing him to free himself and Johnson. With the drug wearing off, Sousa picked up Johnson and went to leave, when they were stopped by Malick who had transferred her powers into him. However, it caused him to lose control and collapse the building on top of himself. Sousa returned Johnson back to Zephyr One, where she was put inside the Healing Pod and treated by Jemma Simmons, as they made their next jump to 1982.
==== Hitting a Rough Patch ====
: "We are not in the best shape, are we?"
: ―Daisy Johnson to Phil Coulson[src]
After Zephyr One made several abrupt jumps forward, Johnson exited the Healing Pod and joined the team, overhearing the need to heal Yo-Yo Rodriguez, and suggested they visit her mother, who was at Afterlife currently, knowing she knew the most about Inhumans and their abilities.
Before agreeing to the plan, Alphonso Mackenzie approached her, noting the implications they both were aware of in regards to the mission. So, they decided to have Phil Coulson, who was being rebuilt, weigh in, as if something went wrong and altered the Timeline, Johnson may not be born. However, they decided to proceed with the mission. With any other solution to save the Zephyr failed, they put all their faith into Rodriguez, as Jemma Simmons suggested for Johnson to return to the Healing Pod.
However, Johnson noted that Simmons wouldn't be able to save them all, although she responded that she could try, leaving Johnson with Coulson. The two talked about how both were in a rough situation, as Coulson detailed how he was thirsty the entire time he was trapped in a TV, making him become depressed about the reality of being a Life-Model Decoy, and Johnson talked about being captured by Nathaniel Malick, as well as Daniel Sousa joining the team.
When Melinda May and Rodriguez were about to return from their mission in Afterlife, the whole team gathered in the Bridge. Johnson questioned what would happen if Rodriguez didn't have her powers back, which Simmons explained that they would lose Zephyr, adding that there may also be no time for them to evacuate. Mackenzie gave the order for them to abandon ship, but May and Rodriguez returned, and Rodriguez was able to regain her powers, allowing her to deactivate the time drive. With the Zephyr no longer in danger, Johnson decided to return to the Healing Pod to finish her recovery, with Sousa staying by her side.
==== Stuck in a Time-Loop ====
: "I think I'm time-looping. I-I've done this already. I've done this already.""Oh, well, that's fun."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons[src]
After the Time Drive made another jump, Johnson was awoken inside the Healing Pod. Once she exited, she noticed Daniel Sousa sitting there, so she asked how long had been there, which he revealed since she had fallen asleep. Unsure if they had made a jump, Johnson and Sousa went to the bridge, where Alphonso Mackenzie and Melinda May were frantically checking on Zephyr One.
May revealed to them that the Time Drive overloaded, and as they tried to figure out where they were, Johnson looked out the cockpit windows, only to be taken back by not knowing what she was seeing. Johnson asked where Phil Coulson was, which May informed her that he was charging. After the rest of the team provided updates to the bridge, Deke Shaw joined them, revealing that they were trapped in a time storm, due to them making a jump within a jump, tearing a hole in time-space.
Shaw added that they were being pulled into a vortex, which would cause them to cease to have ever existed if they fell in. After Shaw revealed that they were kilometers away from the vortex, a flare hit them and Mackenzie was blinded by radiation, so Johnson and Sousa went to take him to Jemma Simmons to be treated. Mackenzie wanted them to focus on repairing the Time Drive, but Johnson forced him to stay put, while May radioed them that they had been hit by another flare, causing a fire in the hallway.
Johnson went to take care of the fire, which she successfully put out, and was asking May how they were going to prevent any further damages from flares before noticing the Time Drive activating. Johnson commented on whether it was supposed to be doing that, but another jump was made and Johnson awoke back in the Healing Pod. Feeling confused and disoriented, Johnson exited the Healing Pod, discovering Sousa there, saying the exact same thing, so she moved to the bridge where she realized that everything was happening again.
As Johnson witnessed the same events occur on the bridge, she commented on having a major brain fart and knew something wasn't right. Shaw joined them, but before he could finish speaking, Johnson cut him off, remembering what he said about being trapped in a time storm, which led to her remembering the flare, so she shut the cockpit doors to protect Mackenzie. Continuing to predict things before they were revealed, Johnson understood something was wrong so she went to see Simmons. Johnson told Simmons that she was time-looping, and proceeded to reveal that she knew everything that was about to happen.
This included the fire, so Johnson went to put it out, which she informed Mackenzie about, as well as needing to get her head checked. However, when she walked into the LMD lab, she noticed Coulson charging, but before she could activate him, another jump was made, resetting the loop. Wanting to immediately talk to Coulson, Johnson quietly left the room to not wake up Sousa and gave instructions to Mackenzie and May. Johnson then arrived at the LMD lab and activated Coulson, informing him of the situation.
Throughout multiple loops, because Coulson also maintained his memories, the two discussed what was happening as well as why they were the only ones who remembered, which Johnson believed was because they were both in futuristic sleeping pods when they start. They also worked on trying to solve the problem by extending the loops, but were unsuccessful. However, whenever Johnson would die in a loop, it would cause her to lose her memory, forcing her to relive the previous loops until she activated Coulson, who had to fill her in all over again.
By the fourteenth time Johnson died, she activated Coulson and began to reveal what was happening, only to be surprised by him already knowing. Annoyed by having to update Johnson again, Coulson revealed how she must have died again, much to her dismay, which was increased by him revealed how many times she had died and how many loops they had done that he knew of, as she didn't power him up in every one. As Johnson became overwhelmed by this information, they noticed that the Time Drive was activating, so Coulson told her to power him up in the next loop.
After waking up again, Johnson quickly gave instructions to Mackenzie and May and continued her conversation with Coulson. They discussed the Time Drive, which Coulson compared to a record skipping, causing Johnson to give him a confused look. In the next loop, Johnson suggested flying away, but Coulson said it always failed, so they focused on fixing the Time Drive. In the next loop, Coulson revealed that they were running out of time and were not looping forever, revealing to her that the number of kilometers were constantly decreasing.
Upon learning this, in the next loop, Johnson rushed to the bridge and asked Shaw how far away they were from the vortex, which he revealed was 79. Johnson then rejoined Coulson, revealing that it used to be 94 from her earliest memory, and Coulson explained how even though they reset, the Zephyr is pulled closer to the vortex with each jump. Understanding that they had to solve the problem before they ran out of time, they focused on finding a way to repair the Time Drive. By the next loop, Johnson headed to the bridge and informed Mackenzie May and Shaw that they were trapped in a time-loop.
With now 65 kilometers until destruction, they didn't have much time remaining so they asked Shaw to find anything out about the Time Drive. However, it was a trick so Johnson and Coulson could follow him, discovering that Simmons had an implant blocking her memory. Johnson and Coulson then confronted them on it, which Simmons revealed was so she wouldn't know where Leo Fitz was, protecting him from the Chronicoms. Johnson tried to convince Simmons to let them remove the implant so they could find a solution, stating that it would all reset in the next loop.
Simmons asked Johnson how she even knew they were looping, so Johnson got her to say a fake word, which both of them said at the same time. Convinced, Simmons decided to go along with the plan and prepared to remove D.I.A.N.A., while the others watched from outside the room. However, before Simmons could remove it, she began violently coughing, trying to explain that she couldn't breathe. The others tried to get into the room, but it was mysteriously locked, and they watched as Simmons collapsed to the ground and soon died.
In the next loop, they repeated the same events, but when they went to remove D.I.A.N.A., Johnson told Simmons she would be going in the room with her. As Johnson prepared to remove the implant, which she did not know how to do, they both began coughing, Which Johnson revealed was because of a gas leak. Johnson was able to open the door, but she and Simmons both died, causing Johnson to lose her memory and repeat the first few loops until she activated Coulson again.
After reacting the same way to hearing that she died in previous loops, Coulson asked if they could get back to solving the problem, so Johnson told him that they were 41 kilometers away from the vortex. They then wondered who was willing to kill in order to not unlock Simmons' memories, so they gathered the obvious suspects: Simmons, Shaw and Enoch. They ruled out Simmons, as she was the victim, and both Shaw and Enoch claimed they would never kill Simmons. Without any answers, they decided to return to trying to repair the Time Drive.
In a later loop, Johnson spoke to Simmons alone, convincing her of the time-loops so they prepared to take out the implant again. However, as Johnson went to get the scanner, she noticed Shaw's cologne was out, meaning someone went into the draw. When Sousa joined her, she filled him in on the situation, leading to him believing the scanner was a trap. Sousa explained how if someone was trying to kill Simmons, then the scanner may have been tampered with, so he decided to pick it up to protect Johnson from losing her memories. Sousa was proven right, when he suddenly was killed.
When the loop reset, Johnson decided to leave Sousa sleeping, not wanting him to die again, and returned to Coulson to talk about their situation. When Coulson got upset about seeing his friends die, he began to reflect on his current status, questioning if he had a soul. Johnson attempted to assure him he was a person, but Coulson stated that he was no longer who he was, but a machine and was stuck in a loop of watching those he loved die, which he commented was actually a metaphor for his life.
Johnson reminded him that she had gone through the same pain of watching him die repeatedly, but Coulson said there was no comparison, as he would watch the whole team die eventually. However, from his complaints about being a machine, Coulson realized that it was Enoch who was killing them, as it would be apart of his programming. They gathered Enoch, Simmons and Shaw in the cargo hold, where Coulson revealed his theory. Johnson then tested the theory by removing D.I.A.N.A., but before she could get near Simmons, Enoch grabbed her by the throat, proving their theory right. Once they knew Enoch was programmed to kill them to protect Fitz, Johnson used her powers to launch him off her.
When the loop reset and Johnson got out of the Healing Pod, she questioned Sousa on why he cared so much, having heard him say the same thing at the start of every loop, which he revealed was because she didn't care. Johnson and Coulson then talked about how to handle Enoch, which they decided to do by removing D.I.A.N.A. without him knowing. However, when they tried, they forgot that Enoch starts each loop going to the lab, and he found them and threw Johnson against the wall to stop her from removing the implant. They then had Sousa distract Enoch, but it didn't work, and they were stopped again.
Failing to stealthily remove the implant, Johnson and Coulson attempted a direct approach, and tried reasoning with Enoch, but failed, as he beat them up. They then brought Simmons with them to convince Enoch, but she was unable to reprogram him, and Johnson and Coulson were beat up again. They then decided to get the whole team to confront Enoch, but it ended badly, with all of them being beaten, as well as Shaw being killed, which Johnson noted they don't need to be sad about, as the jump will reset everything.
In the next loop, Johnson, who had became immensely frustrated with the constant failures, revealed to Sousa that they were stuck in a time-loop, and that they were running out of time to solve it. However, when Johnson noticed Sousa's unfazed reaction, she decided to figure out why he was so willing to help out in this insane situation. Sousa then revealed that he knew her type, that were always focused on doing the right thing even at their own expense, and will keep trying when they fail. Sousa then explained that those people need someone to pick them up after they fall, and he wanted to be that for Johnson.
Sousa then asked how he could help, and Johnson had him lure Enoch away to fight the rest of the team, as she, Coulson and Shaw removed D.I.A.N.A. However, before they could begin the removal, the Time Drive began to activate, so Coulson told her to do the same thing but faster. After waking back up and exiting the Healing Pod, Johnson told Sousa she needed him to do something for her, and when he immediately complied, Johnson, distracted by how much he cared, kissed him, developing an attraction towards him. After commenting on how nice it was, they proceeded with the plan.
After Sousa lured Enoch away, Johnson began to immediately remove D.I.A.N.A., as they were only 11 kilometers away from the vortex. Once the implant was taken out, Johnson asked what they needed to do to fix the Time Drive, which Simmons revealed that Enoch was the solution. Simmons explained that his Electrochron Displacement Mechanism was the solution to repairing the Time Drive, but in removing it, it would kill him. Suddenly, Simmons began to have her memories come back to her, causing her to break down over something she had done, but the reset happened before they could find out.
Once Johnson awoke, they had a solution to their problem, but Johnson took a moment to take in the severity of it. She then moved to the bridge, assuring the team that everything was going to be fine. Johnson then contacted Simmons and told her and Enoch to met her in the LMD lab, as Shaw joined them and revealed they were less than a kilometer away from the vortex. Johnson and Shaw met up with the others in the LMD lab, and she informed them of the situation, and that they needed Enoch's "heart" to save them from destruction.
Simmons then addressed that there was a risk to doing so, which is why they gathered them there, as it was a difficult discussion. However, without hesitation, Enoch pulled out his Electrochron Displacement Mechanism, sacrificing himself, explaining that he believed the rest of them would do the same for him. Despite being upset, Simmons and Shaw went to repair the Time Drive, as Johnson and Coulson stayed with Enoch in his final moments. They were informed by Mackenzie that Shaw will soon have the Time Drive working and they'll be jumping soon.
After Johnson asked if Enoch if he felt any pain, he responded that it wasn't the physical pain that concerned him, but the thought of being lonely, as he explained that ever since he met the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, he knew what it meant to be lonely. Coulson promised Enoch that they would stay with him until the end, but Enoch was still worried about what happened after the end. Coulson comforted him in what death was like for those who leave first, and Johnson thanked Enoch for his selfless sacrifice, allowing the team to carry on their mission.
However, Enoch revealed to Johnson that even though her friends would survive, the team will not, stating that he had seen the future, to Johnson confusion. Enoch told Johnson to cherish the mission as it will be their last together, explaining that it is the cycle of life and death, and how no one could escape it. After their conversation, Johnson and Coulson sat with Enoch as he slowly passed, recounting his friendship with Fitz, which Johnson noted that he was a good friend to all of them. Enoch then died as they made their jump, which was successful in getting them out of the time storm.
=== The Final Mission ===
==== Reunion with Her Mother ====
: "I never knew my mom. And when I finally found her... she wasn't who I'd hoped she would be.""She hurt you. I can't speak to your mother's reasons, but for me... sometimes, trying to do the right thing comes out all wrong."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Jiaying[src]
Returning to 1983, the team decided to make base at the Lighthouse. Johnson, Jemma Simmons and Daniel Sousa headed to the lab to set up, as Sousa expressed his amazement of the base, which Johnson commented wasn't as exciting for her, having spent a lot of time inside it previously. Johnson enquired Simmons on why the next countdown did not start, which she answered in deep and complex detail that Johnson surprisingly was able to understand.
After Sousa said he was going to get some rest, Johnson gave him directions, and the two had an awkward and flirtatious interaction, with Johnson having previously kissed Sousa in one of the loops. When Johnson noticed Simmons looking at her, the latter commented on Sousa's chivalry, but Johnson moved pass it. After Simmons mentioned Leo Fitz, Johnson remembered her emotional breakdown in one of the loops, and began to ask about the last thing she remembered. Simmons told Johnson that she didn't want to know anything she may have said, but Johnson revealed how she became devastated and wanted to know why.
The two were then radioed by Alphonso Mackenzie to join the team in the control room, so they made their way. Mackenzie addressed that even if they could leave, they weren't knowing that Nathaniel Malick was out there causing chaos, having already attacked Afterlife. They decided to take back the settlement and bring Jiaying to the Lighthouse for safety, but Johnson thought it wasn't a good idea, as she was her daughter from the future, but Phil Coulson told her they had to protect Jiaying.
Melinda May then began to tell Johnson something, but was cut off when Gordon teleported in the base with Jiaying, who revealed that Malick was hunting them. Johnson was in shock upon seeing her mother again, who spoke with the team about her people being in danger. However, Johnson spoke up, revealing that they only wanted to help her and the Inhumans, whereas Malick wanted to steal their powers. It was decided that Coulson and Gordon would rescue the captured Inhumans, and Jiaying decided to stay and mentioned her daughter, which stunned Johnson.
Realizing that May already knew this information, Johnson confronted her in private about not telling her. Johnson then took in the new information, as Jiaying never mentioned a sister when they first met, which May explained was because in the original timeline, Kora committed suicide, which was what led Jiaying to meet her father. But, Mackenzie cut them off from thinking about the chain of events that were affected, and ordered Johnson to stay behind for her own protection, despite her volunteering to join them.
As Johnson was walking down through the Lighthouse, Sousa met up with her, and they continued to talked about his jump to the future. Having been filled in by Mackenzie, Sousa asked Johnson about Jiaying, as she mentioned her after Malick tortured her, which Johnson revealed was because the same thing happened to her mother. Johnson then revealed to Sousa that things did not end well for her and Jiaying in the future, which led to him suggesting getting to know her before the events that changed her.
Immediately, Johnson stated that she couldn't talk with her mother, as she couldn't know anything about her future, but Sousa declared that the timeline was already ruined and that she should take the opportunity to speak with her mother one last time. After Sousa offered to stay with Johnson to support her, she agreed to talk with her mother. Finding Jiaying in the control room, she asked about what was happening, Johnson assured her that they were there to help her, commenting that Afterlife was important to her, too.
When Jiaying disputed Johnson's care for her home, Sousa revealed that Johnson had been there before so she could begin to be open with her mother. Jiaying questioned this, so Johnson proved it, displaying her Inhuman ability to her by making water shake in a glass. Johnson then revealed to Jiaying that she learned to control her ability from her in the future. Johnson explained how they were from the future, which Jiaying believed, having felt something familiar from her and realised that Malick stole her power.
Jiaying then connected it to Malick using future knowledge to manipulate Kora to join him and turn on her own people. This led to Johnson asking more about her sister, so Sousa left them, as Jiaying explained how close they used to be, and how Terrigenesis changed her life for the worse. Jiaying explained that even though Kora turned on them, there was still good in her and that she was her greatest gift, something Jiaying had said to Johnson before stating that it was actually her powers, due to her militant state.
Hearing these words again, but from the side of her mother she never got to see, Johnson started to get emotional, vaguely explaining to Jiaying how she never knew her mother, and when she finally met her, it wasn't what she hoped for. Having no idea it was her, Jiaying comforted Johnson, knowing that it had hurt her, explaining that sometimes doing the right thing can come out all wrong. From this conversation, Johnson saw a whole new side of her mother and finally had closure, accepting what had happened.
May then radioed Johnson, informing her that Malick had infiltrated the Lighthouse with John Garrett, who stole Gordon's powers, so Johnson went to get Jiaying to safety. However, they were stopped by Malick, so Johnson threatened to use her powers on him. After asking about Kora, Malick revealed to Jiaying that Johnson was her daughter, causing Jiaying to realize that she hurt her. As Jiaying processed how she could have hurt her daughter, Malick began to explain their timeline and what happened in 2015, with Jiaying draining Johnson's life until she was stopped and murdered.
Demanding Malick to stop, Johnson used her powers to throw him back, but when he recovered, he used his power, hitting Johnson much harder, having had his power longer than her. Johnson then watched helpless as Jiaying started to drain the life from Malick, only for him to stop her and use his powers to snap her neck. Angered by Malick killing her mother, Johnson let it fuel her powers, causing Malick to fear as the Lighthouse shook. However, Malick managed to escape when May shot at him, so Johnson sat beside her mother and mourned her.
==== Meeting Her Sister ====
: "I believe there's a chance we could work together.""What makes you think that we would ever-""You. I've always wanted a sibling, and we have the same blood. You believe in S.H.I.E.L.D.. There must be a reason."
: ―Kora and Daisy Johnson[src]
Learning that Nathaniel Malick and John Garrett kidnapped Jemma Simmons and hijacked the Zephyr One, Johnson headed to the control room, where Melinda May and Daniel Sousa were. Johnson watched as the Zephyr disappeared from their detection, causing her to feel guilty, not killing Malick when she had the chance, but May tried to assure her it wasn't her fault.
When Yo-Yo Rodriguez radioed in their arrival at the Lighthouse, Johnson knew Kora would be with them, so she rushed get answers out of her. As they walked, May insisted they don't reveal Jiaying's death to Kora due to her instability, which Johnson stated that she would deal with her sister if she were to become dangerous. Upon immediately seeing her sister, Johnson attacked Kora and began to choke her, demanding answers from her. Alphonso Mackenzie order Johnson to let Kora go, so she complied. Once Kora got back up, she assured the team that she was there to help save lives, stating she wanted to be an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D..
Johnson, Phil Coulson and May took Kora to the control room to speak with her alone, where she explained how she was the perfect candidate to join them. Johnson asked about Malick's plan were, which she responded was to reduce suffering, although Johnson did not feel this was accurate, due to her experience with him. Kora proceeded to reveal how her future knowledge from the Time Stream allowed her to create a better history, recounting the people who have been saved.
When Mackenzie joined them and noted how his parents were unjustly murdered, Kora used that as proof that the team were now in a new timeline. After stating how the old timeline they were trying to protect was gone, Kora suggested they that S.H.I.E.L.D. should make the new universe the best it can be by killing. Kora then propositioned a list 30 people they knew who would go on to kill thousands of innocent lives. Johnson asked the team to let her speak to Kora alone, so they went into the Director's office.
Once they were alone, Johnson asked why Kora was really here, which she responded because she believed that they could work together in this new timeline. Johnson then asked about Kora's childhood in Afterlife, which Kora said she was sorry that Johnson didn't get to grow up with their mother, and Johnson responded by saying she felt sorry that Kora threw her chance away. When Johnson questioned Kora's want for them to team up, Kora explained that Sibyl said that Johnson would never let her sister fight alone. After agreeing with her, Johnson left and let Kora free herself.
==== Rescue Mission ====
: "Sibyl dropped Kora in my lap because they knew I'd want to save her. The thing is, I already have a sister to save. Her name is Jemma Simmons."
: ―Daisy Johnson to Daniel Sousa[src]
After hearing Kora's words, Johnson realized that Sibyl knew how they would act, so she decided to go against what she would normally do, which was not try and help her sister, but go to rescue her true sister, Jemma Simmons. After suiting up, Johnson ran into Daniel Sousa, who once again insisted on helping her, which she agreed to, realizing that Sousa has never gone rogue in any way.
As they entered the Quinjet, Johnson explained her idea to Sousa about going against Sibyl's projections of them and becoming unpredictable in order to get ahead. As Johnson started up the Quinjet, Sousa asked how they would fly through space, which she explained how after locating Zephyr One, they would burn the remainder of the fuel and float towards it. Despite being a risky move, Sousa went along with the plan, believing Johnson had flown the Quinjet before, which she revealed she had not.
At that moment, Alphonso Mackenzie interrupted them, stating they would need the Director's authorization to open the hangar doors. Johnson began to explain her plan to Mackenzie, but he was already aware of it, as he decided to come with them on their mission. After opening the doors for them, Mackenzie then took the co-pilot's seat, and he and Johnson proceeded to depart from the Lighthouse and head out to space. After exiting the Earth's atmosphere, they found Zephyr's location and launched themselves towards it.
As the Quinjet floated in space, Johnson and Mackenzie cut the power to everything except the life support, as they discussed returning to the original timeline. As they waited to reach the Zephyr, Johnson informed Mackenzie of what Enoch said about this being their last mission together. Johnson was shocked by Mackenzie's acceptance of this, fearing them losing touch with each other, stating that they were her only family and that she didn't know who she was without them. However, Mackenzie assured her she knew exactly who she was with anyone.
This then made Johnson look over to Sousa, having developed a crush on him, which Mackenzie noticed and reacted to, much to Johnson's embarrassment. Johnson then revealed how she and Sousa kissed in one of the loops when they were stuck in the time storm, and they laughed about it. Johnson then returned to thinking about them all leaving each other, noting that nothing would be the same afterwards, which Mackenzie comforted her in, by saying that it would be okay.
As they continued to float through space, Johnson decided to get some rest, while the other two sat in the cockpit, with Mackenzie telling Sousa about Johnson's interest in him, and both of them laughing at her superhero name, "Quake." Once they spotted the Zephyr, Johnson equipped her gauntlets and thanked Sousa for coming with her. When Sousa revealed he knew Johnson's codename and joked about it, they flirted with each other. They then witnessed a fleet of Chronicom Destroyer Ship arrive and fire lasers towards Earth, destroying the S.H.I.E.L.D. facilities.
Despite the Chronicom's attacks, the rescue mission proceeded, as the Quinjet had not been detected. Quake and Mackenzie successfully docked onto the Zephyr, which was then locked on to by the main Chronicom ship and brought the ship inside, along with the S.H.I.E.L.D. team. Suspecting that their presence had been noticed, Quake, Mackenzie and Sousa armed themselves and waited for the enemy to come for them. However, when nothing happened, Mackenzie opened the doors to find no one on the other side.
Without dropping their guard, the team silently searched the Zephyr for any of Nathaniel Malick's crew, but discovered the ship was empty. The Zephyr was then taken back by S.H.I.E.L.D., which they used to scan the Chronicom ship to find Simmons and Deke Shaw. After locating Simmons and Shaw, Quake also noticed that Kora was on board, but she expressed that her sister would not stop her from rescuing her friends. Quake decided to rescue them alone, but before she left, Sousa kissed her, much to Quake's delight.
As Quake stealthily made her way through the Chronicom's ship, Sibyl revealed that she was aware of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s presence. Quake listened to the Chronicom Predictor as she expressed that their efforts would be meaningless, informing them of the destruction of the S.H.I.E.L.D. facilities, declaring that the war was now over. Refusing to let Sibyl's words stop her, Quake continued her mission, being creeped out by the Chronicom Hunters walking past her, making no reaction to her presence.
Reaching the cells, Quake opened the door and was reunited with Simmons and Shaw. However, after hugging Shaw, Quake noticed something off about Simmons, which Shaw revealed was because the Chronicoms had blurred her memory, causing her to forget them. Quake attempted to get Simmons to come with her so they could escape, but Simmons instead asked about her costume, which Quake explained was for protection. Simmons asked if she could have one, and Quake promised she would if she came with her. The three then made their way through the ship to return to the Zephyr, which Quake noted was strange how no one tried to stop her.
As they escaped, Simmons continued to struggle with her memories, but they kept moving, only to be confronted by Kora. Quake attempted to defuse the situation, not wanting to fight her sister, asking her to join them so they could talk. However, Kora was angry at Quake for not informing her of their mother's death, so she attacked them. Using her own powers, Quake was able to block the blast, and she told Simmons and Shaw to get to the Zephyr, and not to wait for her once they got back.
The two sisters talked about their mother, in which Quake attempted to explain to Kora that Jiaying did love her, despite what she believed. Kora attacked Quake again with her powers, which she blocked again, stating that she was not going to use her own powers to fight Kora. Quake tried once more to get through to Kora, asking her to come with them, but Kora claimed it was too late, and that now she and Malick were going to rule over everyone. But, Quake stated that they could still fix everything, and Kora let her past.
Although unable to convince her sister to escape with her, Quake successfully returned to the Zephyr to regroup with her team. Shaw greeted Quake upon her return, but she reminded him that she asked them not to wait for her. Shaw then informed Quake that Mackenzie and Sousa had a plan, so two joined them in the cockpit, and watched as they used Chronicoms stuck to the missiles to blow up the hangar doors. With the rescue mission being a success, the team escaped from the Chronicom ship and headed back to Earth.
==== All Together, One Last Time ====
: "This is the last mission together, isn't it?""How could you know that?"
: ―Daisy Johnson and Leo Fitz[src]
Receiving a coded message to go to The Krazy Kanoe, the team landed and entered the bar, where they were reunited with the rest of their team. Johnson and Phil Coulson hugged each other, and when she went to reunite with Melinda May, Johnson was surprised to be hugged by her.
Johnson explained to the rest of the team that the Chronicoms had caused Jemma Simmons to lose her entire memory of all of them, and Alphonso Mackenzie then discussed what their next move was going to be, as the Chronicoms were planning to execute their invasion soon. Coulson addressed his hope that the 0-8-4s would be the possible key to stopping them, only for them all to notice Simmons was putting the pieces together, which Coulson figured out that Enoch had deposited all of them throughout time.
Once Simmons received the final piece, she activated a secret room, revealing a machine, which she connected the constructed 0-8-4 to. However, nothing happened, so Johnson tried to assist Simmons recovering her memory, which resulted in Simmons inserting her wedding ring into the machine. The machine then turned on, causing a portal to open, and Leo Fitz came through it, finally reuniting the full team. Everyone on the team was happy to see Fitz, except Simmons, who still couldn't remember him.
However, despite their immense happiness to be finally reunited with Fitz, the team quickly began questioning him, informing Fitz of what they have been put through ever since they started this mission. To clear up all of their confusion and concern, Fitz revealed that it was possible for them all to return to their original timeline, explaining he saw numerous different possible timelines, and that everything that had happened was so that they could save their own timeline. Fitz continued, telling them that Kora was the key to their success, but Johnson revealed that Kora was with the enemy, leaving them without a pivotal piece.
Deciding to work around that complication, Fitz quickly begun trying to get them to return home, but stopped to explain the Quantum Realm to the team, saying that's how they can return to their original timeline. But, none of the team were willing to leave, knowing this timeline would suffer, decreasing their chances of success. Deke Shaw came up with a plan to bring the Chronicom fleet with them when returning to their timeline, but it would mean leaving someone behind. Johnson revealed that this was their last mission together, which Fitz confirmed with sorrow, expanding that it would be the last time they're all in the same room together.
This revelation set back the entire team, except Daniel Sousa, who immediately volunteered himself to stay behind, as that's where he belonged. Sousa began to say his farewell to Johnson, only to be interrupted by Shaw, who declared he would be the one to stay behind. Johnson was touched by Shaw's sacrifice, as he wanted her to be happy, which meant her being with Sousa. Accepting Shaw's decision, the team moved the Quantum Tunnel to the Zephyr One, built it into the ship, and prepared to leave the alternate timeline. After taking off, the Zephyr successfully entered the Quantum Realm, taking the fleet of Chronicom ships with them, saving the other timeline, leaving Shaw behind, officially splitting up the team.
==== Destruction of the Chronicom Fleet ====
: "There is no way to kill me, without killing yourself.""That's the idea."
: ―Nathaniel Malick and Quake[src]
While traveling through the Quantum Realm, Johnson witnesses as Leo Fitz helped restore Jemma Simmons' memory, learning that after they were attacked by Chronicoms, the two spent years living a life. Fitz then filled in the rest of the team about the plan, so they knew what they needed to do.
Exiting the Quantum Realm, Quake was a part of the team on the Zephyr that were going to board the Chronicom Destroyer Ship, while the other team took the Quinjet and headed for the Temple of the Forgotten and were going to retake the Lighthouse. Tricking the Chronicoms into thinking they destroyed the Zephyr, the team successfully boarded the ship undetected, but were soon discovered, so Quake dealt with the Chroncioms, while Phil Coulson, Melinda May and Alphonso Mackenzie headed off to do their task.
After defeating all of the Chronicoms, Quake was then confronted by Nathaniel Malick, who voiced his esteem to for being the final foe for her to face in her epic history of battles, of which he had studied. The two then engaged in a duel, with both fighters possessing the same powers, and Malick voiced his excitement to learn how it was going to end, taunting Quake over the death of her mother. The two continuously switched between using their powers and hand-to-hand to fight, mainly being fairly even between the two, however, Quake was only needing to just give the rest of her team enough time.
Eventually, Quake noticed the rest of her team, with Kora, return to her location, but they were unable to help her, so they returned to the Zephyr, leaving Quake on the ship. Taking a pause, Malick stated that he could go all day, but that was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hope, as it allowed them to get Kora to reprogram the Chronicoms, cancelling their attack on Earth. Malick used his powers to pin Quake against a reactor, stating that she couldn't win without killing herself. Quake confidently revealed that was the idea, and unleashed a massive shockwave, exploding the reactors, destroying the entire fleet.
Although unharmed from the explosions, Quake was blown out into space, which killed her. Quake's body was picked up by the team on the Zephyr, who managed to get away from the destruction. They brought the dead hero on board the Zephyr and laid her down in the cargo bay, where Kora used her powers to restore the life back into Quake, successfully reviving her, which was all a part of their plan that Fitz had informed them on. Relieved that the plan worked and they didn't lose Quake, Coulson told her that was what they were fighting for, which Quake responded was family, having saved her sister.
=== The Astro Ambassadors ===
==== Adventures in Space ====
: "Things are going... well?""They're going, yeah. We're just loving the journey together. I showed him E.T. to prep for it, so... He cried like a baby. Um, but, he's made for this work. He's solid. But he does keep calling us the 'Astro Ambassadors.'"
: ―Jemma Simmons and Daisy Johnson[src]
With the War Against the Chronicoms over, Johnson had gotten through to her sister and recruited her into S.H.I.E.L.D.. Over time, S.H.I.E.L.D. would expand greatly, eventually reaching and surpassing the size it used to be before its first shutdown. With this, S.H.I.E.L.D. initiated a deep-space exploration mission, which Johnson would lead, operating in Zephyr Three. Joining her on the mission was Kora and Daniel Sousa, who Johnson had commenced a romantic relationship with, where she gifted him a typewriter, and had him watch E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to prepare for the mission. Being away from Earth added to the declaration of the S.H.I.E.L.D. team never being in the same room together, but Johnson still made sure to keep in touch with them all, including sending some of her discoveries for Jemma Simmons to look at, even though she was retired.
==== Virtual Reunion ====
: "It's not the same without these guys.""No, it's not."
: ―Daisy Johnson and Phil Coulson[src]
One year after Johnson's former team's last mission together, they all decided to get together and catch up. However, with all of them being far away, including Johnson being in deep-space, they used a virtual reality simulation. Johnson and Phil Coulson were the first to enter, and soon the rest of the team joined them, and they all sat down in a circle.
Alphonso Mackenzie was the last to join, and Johnson asked him about how he was liking operating from a Helicarrier, which he preferred over the Lighthouse, due to the view. They proceeded to catch up about what each of them were all doing now since their last mission, with Johnson being asked about her relationship with Daniel Sousa, which she informed the others was going good, as they both were loving the adventure they're on. Johnson then asked Coulson what he was up to, offering a spot on her space exploration team if he wanted to join.
Soon, some of the team were needed elsewhere, including Johnson, who was about to enter a nebula, so they decided to end the gathering, but Jemma Simmons proposed that they make sure to meet up together as an annual tradition, which was unanimously agreed upon. The team took a moment to reflect on how all of them have been through so much, including many of them dying, as well as remembering Deke Shaw, who was in an alternate reality. One by one, each of the team started to leave, with Simmons telling Johnson she'd send the anatomy analysis before exiting.
After Mackenzie left, telling Johnson to be careful, the only ones remaining were her and Coulson, and they expressed how it was no longer the same with them all separated. Johnson enquired more about what Coulson was doing with his sabbatical, but when he responded that he was just seeing the world, Johnson explained that there were people out there that could benefit from Coulson recruiting them. Coulson asked Johnson how things were with Kora, and she paralleled it with him believing in her when they first met, and how much it can help someone.
Coulson told Johnson to give him a call once she returns to Earth, and then exited, leaving Johnson alone in the simulation, so she took a moment to herself, missing her former team. Once she exited the simulation and returned to Zephyr Three, Johnson was asked by Sousa how they all were, which she told him they were good. Kora then called out to them to look at the nebula, so they joined her in the cockpit, and were amazed by the view that was before them, which Johnson commented on it being beautiful.
== Personality ==
: "I know people like you. Some of my favourite people are people like you. Focused on the greater good, even at your own expense. You want people to think you like being alone, even though you always end up back with friends. You hate losing.""Everyone hates losing.""Yeah, but you'll keep running at the problem full-tilt until you either solve it or slam headlong into a brick wall."
: ―Daniel Sousa and Daisy Johnson[src]
When first met, Skye was a confident woman obsessed with superhero culture and the shadow organizations that existed within it. She is edgy and can out-talk anyone with her unflappable nature. However, after the ordeal against John Garrett, Skye became more aloof, taking her role as a member of Coulson's new S.H.I.E.L.D. more seriously.
Originally, Skye viewed S.H.I.E.L.D. as a "1984," Big Brother-style government organization filled with secrets. When S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, Skye realized its place in keeping order and law enforcement. Presently, she has expressed that Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D. is now her life, including a desire to stand with her Supervising Officer Melinda May in an unknown situation.
Emotionally, Skye loves her friends deeply and worries for their well-being. She harbors deep resentment towards Grant Ward for his betrayal. When she discovered that Simmons was a mole for S.H.I.E.L.D. in HYDRA, Skye had to be reassured by May before believing that Simmons would be safe. She noticed that something was wrong with Coulson when he needed to purge himself of the Words of Creation, though others, except for May, did not. She enjoyed her time on the Bus before the HYDRA Uprising and went there to work when it became available.
When transformed, Skye became frightened by her new powers and how people would react if they found out, especially Jemma Simmons, who had developed a hatred for those with powers after her encounter with Raina. Despite Skye's attempts to get back into the field, she had to resort to shooting herself with an I.C.E.R. to stop herself and when trying to suppress her powers, she inadvertently injured herself in the process. Escaping with Gordon and meeting Lincoln Campbell and Jiaying, Skye soon started to accept her new powers and she was shocked to learn her true heritage from her mother. She also became more compassionate to Calvin Zabo, despite all that he had done in the past, where she also learned her true name. However, she still remains loyal to Phil Coulson as she insisted Gordon teleport her to S.H.I.E.L.D. to help him save Lincoln and Deathlok.
Having gradually accepted her new state of being and her birth name, Daisy became committed to helping other awakened Inhumans come to terms with their new abilities and help make a difference with S.H.I.E.L.D. As such, she becomes greatly emotional when Inhumans are either put in stasis, treated like a disease, or persecuted. This seems to have caused her to develop a ruthless streak, such as when she interrogated a suspected Watchdog supporter by intimidating him with her powers, her reasoning being that the Watchdogs and their supporters gave up their civil rights by spewing hate and destruction.
After being released from Hive's control, Daisy developed self-loathing, blaming herself for all her actions that the dark Inhuman had forced her to carry out. She was adamant that she should be punished for her actions under Hive's sway, refused to listen any attempts by others to forgive her, and later attempted to commit suicide by fulfilling a vision Charles Hinton had shown her of a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent's death, taking Hive with her in the process. This attempt was only averted by Lincoln Campbell, who sacrificed himself in Daisy's place. These two combined traumas likely caused her decision to abandon S.H.I.E.L.D. and become a vigilante known as Quake. Judging by her request that Ghost Rider kill her, a request denied since the Spirit of Vengeance judged her innocent, this self-loathing still persists even after months of hunting thugs and protecting people.
Initially, Daisy didn't trust the Framework version of Ward, believing he was just like the original. However, she was proven wrong when he helped her and Simmons escape from the Framework version of HYDRA, and after spending enough time with him and seeing how much he loved her, she started to warm up to him, even trying to stop him from staying behind to fight HYDRA. After an emotional talk with Ward, Daisy finally came to understand the real Grant Ward and seemed to have finally forgiven him for everything he did, realizing there was still good left in him, something that the rest of Coulson's team believed to be highly untrue.
Upon traveling to the year 2091, Daisy was at first in denial that she would destroy the world in the future. But after seeing Samuel Voss' apparent proof of her future self's last known actions, Daisy slowly began to fear the possibility, at which she refused to return to the present or even have her powers restored when the Kree implanted a power inhibitor but Coulson took the choice out of her hands. Later on, when Fitz's Framework persona drove him to forcibly remove the inhibitor, Daisy hated him and refused to forgive or even trust him, only not killing him because of Simmons.
Despite being comfortable leading S.H.I.E.L.D. strike teams including the Secret Warriors, Daisy was least comfortable being burdened with the mantle of Director when Coulson was captured by HYDRA. This made her far stricter, especially after Fitz removed her inhibitor, with Deke Shaw remarking that she had become a "hard-ass" since that incident.
A quality unique to her is that Daisy has an incredible amount of respect for an individual's autonomy. This is because throughout her life Daisy's autonomy was often disregarded even by those who she trusted greatly. As a result, regardless of circumstance Daisy will always try to avoid taking away an individual's ability to make their own choices even if others disagree. She was even willing to provide Ruby Hale with a pathway for redemption despite all the atrocities the latter had committed against S.H.I.E.L.D.. This was because she considered Hale's abusive and misguided parenting the root cause of Ruby's villainy whilst also seeing Ruby as a kindred soul who also had control taken away from her.
Daisy also has an immense care for children and their well-being and is surprisingly capable of handling them; she first showed these instincts with Ace Peterson and later Robin Hinton. With the former she took as many steps as possible to ensure he was least affected by his father's new reality and with the latter, she ensured that she and her mother would be supported following her father's demise. In addition, with Robin, an Inhuman who had undergone Terrigenesis unprepared much like her, she displayed care and understanding of the latter's situation, never forcing her to provide answers even when she was desperate for them.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
: "Everything's shaking already, vibrating at its own natural frequency. This stone, the wood in the trees.., I believe you can learn to sense those frequencies around you and resonate with them so that not everything is shaking, only what you choose."
: ―Jiaying to Skye[src]
* Inhuman Physiology: Daisy Johnson is an Inhuman who achieved her genetic potential after undergoing Terrigenesis and gained superhuman powers. The powers that she gained was that she was able to manipulate vibration. She originally tried to get rid of the powers, but eventually embraced them. She tried to suppress the powers by holding them in, but that caused all of the vibration to go out in her hands, breaking her bones. Jemma Simmons was able to help her by creating Gauntlets. Due to an inhibitor implanted in her neck by the Kree Watch, Johnson was unable to use her powers while the inhibitor was active. Leo Fitz later removed the inhibitor against her will, restoring her powers.
** Vibration Manipulation: All existing matter and energy within the known universe vibrate at a specific resonant frequency on the quantum level. Forced into a state of Terrigenesis via her exposure to the Diviner's extraterrestrial contents, Daisy Johnson acquired the ability to sense the various frequency vibrations in her environment and manipulate them. Her powers are connected to her heart rate, and as a negative result she can lose control of her powers whenever her heartbeat increases during stressful situations. Johnson's body is able to withstand enhancing and releasing intense vibrational waves; however, attempting to forcefully internalize or hold back her powers will put an excessive strain on her body and may lead to internal injuries like ruptured veins, hairline bone fractures, or other severe consequences, which requires her to use casts created by Jemma Simmons. When focused, her abilities' extend to the point that she can create both force barriers and powerful concussive waves of sheer force. After learning about her powers from Jiaying, Johnson achieved greater control over her powers and no longer loses control of them. She first used them to cause a controlled avalanche, and again to make several glasses of water ring, but ultimately ended up shattering them. After siding with Jiaying, she made an attacking agent's gun vibrate apart and defeated Melinda May with a concussive blast. Since sound is the vibration of air molecules, Johnson is acute to sounds that other people can not hear; when the Monolith was opened, Johnson heard sounds that Phil Coulson and Bobbi Morse did not. Soon after, she generated an earthquake via concussive blasts to heavily damage the Playground. She also restricted Leo Fitz's breathing. When the Playground was invaded by the Life-Model Decoys, she could sense that Jemma Simmons was not a decoy by sending vibrations through her body, which allowed Johnson to feel Simmons' bones. Her powers can also be used sub-consciously as seen when the Remorath were transporting her to Taryan, she managed to break the device subduing her whilst her physical body was rendered unconscious. Johnson was able use her powers to cause opponents' weapons to vibrate apart, as she did with two D'Rillians.
*** Concussive Blast: Perhaps her favorite technique, Johnson is able to generate and focus powerful concussive waves of vibrating air in the form of directed concussive blasts at her enemies. The effects of her blasts can vary from being weak enough to only knock opponents into walls and shatter windows, to strong enough to break a Kree Reaper's arm, crush Gideon Malick's skull, heavily damage an LMD of Melinda May, explode a Vrellnexian, destroy massive areas of concrete roads, send cars flying, knock back a grenade fired from a grenade launcher, destroy a portion of a hospital floor, push a Quinjet into the sea, and heavily damage the Playground by directing them into the ground, which caused the ground to shake. Johnson also uses her blasts in battle to block blows from opponents such as Hive. During her time as a vigilante, Johnson also learned to use her concussive blasts to propel herself in the air and cushion her falls, such as when she did to evade S.H.I.E.L.D. and also catch a sniper when he failed to assassinate Jeffrey Mace. She was also able to concentrate her concussive waves. in her hands before releasing them in a massive shock wave, destroying Phil Coulson's LMD and Alphonso Mackenzie's LMD in the process. Johnson is also able to use her shockwaves to apply enough pressure on viscous matter such as Gravitonium, that it would compress to a degree that would otherwise be unachievable. Johnson could also use her powers to resuscitate Lincoln Campbell by sending weak concussive pulses to his heart. Johnson was also able to create cushioning platforms of concussive force, such as when she stopped Rosalind Price's fall. She is also able to release concussive shockwaves through her punches.
*** Wave Absorption: Johnson is also capable of absorbing vibrations, as she absorbed an earthquake. She also used it in conjunction with her gauntlets, she is able to absorb a larger quantity of vibrations, but can only hold them so so long and must release them or she risks causing irreparable damage to herself.
*** Disintegration: Daisy can cause molecules to vibrate violently enough that the bonds between them are destroyed, causing whatever she is using her powers on to disintegrate into the atmosphere, such as when she disintegrated an entire army of Shrike in a matter of seconds.
*** Force-Field Generation: Johnson is able to shape vibrating air into physical fields, allowing her to block a gunshot from a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and later several energy blasts from Kora during the team's final mission together.
*** Levitation: Johnson is capable of manipulating vibrations under herself to propel and levitate herself. She escaped from the police after witnessing Ghost Rider kill four men. She also escaped Phil Coulson and Alphonso Mackenzie while using this method. Aside from levitating herself, she could also levitate others. She was able to save Rosalind Price's life when she was thrown off a balcony during an altercation with Lash. She did this by catching Price mid-air with her powers.
=== Former Powers ===
* Artificially Enhanced Physiology: After injecting herself with the Centipede Serum, Johnson experienced heightened abilities. This allowed her to kill Glenn Talbot.
** Power Augmentation: During her final battle with Glenn Talbot, she was easily overpowered by him. Using the Centipede Serum containing Jiaying's DNA that she found in her gauntlets, she injected it into herself and her power was enhanced, sending out a vibration strong enough to push Talbot out of the atmosphere in seconds, eventually leading to his death in space.
=== Abilities ===
: "Billions of dollars worth of equipment at your disposal and I beat you with a laptop I won in a bet?"
: ―Skye[src]
* Master Hacker: Johnson is an extremely skilled computer hacker, with a wide range of contacts through the Rising Tide hacktivist group. On many missions, these skills were utilized for intelligence gathering and data interpretation. Phil Coulson put her in charge of the Clairvoyant mission because she "sees things in unique ways" and was a master at pattern recognition and analysis; in other words, she picks up on patterns that others do not notice. She was able to erase all of Coulson's Team's identities. She was also able to get tickets to two deperate parties. One for Ian Quinn's and another for Gabriel Soto.
: "You've made her into quite the formidable soldier."
: ―Hale to Phil Coulson[src]
* Master Martial Artist: Skye was taught to fight by Grant Ward, and later by Melinda May. Skye was able to have a prolonged battle with Agent 33, a person who gave May a good fight. After further training, Skye displayed her impressive skills in conjunction with her marksmanship and tactical training, enabling her to take down several HYDRA operatives with only a pistol and her combat training on two separate occasions. Her fighting style is comprised of kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, Krav Maga, and Jujutsu. Skye was able to effortlessly defeat a skilled S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and hold her own against Melinda May for some time during the War Against the Inhumans. Later, during the climax, Johnson was able to defeat two out of five Alisha Whitley duplicates before being defeated by her superior numbers. A year following, Daisy was stated, following Bobbi Morse's resignation, that she was the only agent beside May, capable of taking out a room of HYDRA agents, solo. Johnson was able to briefly hold her own against a Kree Reaper, and with the aid of her power, was able to defeat him. As a testament to her skills, Johnson was able to have a prolonged battle with Hive, who had the abilities of Grant Ward, a man who had rivaled both Melinda May and Bobbi Morse in combat, combining her skills in martial artist and vibrational powers in close combat. Johnson has even been able to outskill the Kree warrior Sinara, as well as two Krees simultaneously until their strength got the best of her. She even held her own against three Chronicom hunters despite being high on Puffies. Under optimal conditions, she defeated several armed Chronicom Hunters at once with ease.
: "How's your marksmanship?""I don't know. Hand me your sidearm. Let's find out."
: ―Grant Ward and Skye[src]
* Expert Marksman: Skye's hesitation toward using firearms subsided following her training with Melinda May, as demonstrated by her using the Taser Projectile Launcher against Carl Creel and later as she used a sniper rifle against Donnie Gill. Skye displayed her impressive skills in conjunction with her close-range combat and tactical training, enabling her to take down several HYDRA operatives with only a pistol.
: "Daisy's a highly trained spy."
: ―Phil Coulson[src]
* Expert Spy: Johnson is highly trained in espionage and deception. During her early years as an agent, she was able to convince Ward that she did not know that he was a HYDRA infiltrator, deceiving long enough to report him to the authorities, and she later managed trick Ward to reveal all he knew about her father, before S.H.I.E.L.D. transferred him into Christian Ward's custody. Even before her training, Johnson was able to infiltrate a party hosted by Ian Quinn using her allegiance with the Rising Tide. Years of mission with S.H.I.E.L.D. only made Johnson a more talented spy, to the point that she was able to pose as a CIA agent to Daniel Sousa, another trained and seasoned S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
: "Military tactics 101. You never jeopardize a general when a soldier can do the job."
: ―Daisy Johnson[src]
* Expert Tactician: Johnson learned to assess threats as she entered a location, scanning for exits and the type of weaponry the guards carry, even attempting to assess the personalities and skills of the people in her environment. Grant Ward commented on her ability that Johnson gained when he brought her to the Ponce de León Theater, and General Hale praised her ability to make difficult choices, and declared her to be powerful, intelligent, and calculating; in her opinion she was the optimal candidate for Project Destroyer of Worlds. Phil Coulson even chose Daisy as his successor to lead the team, although she eventually stepped down and chose Alphonso Mackenzie to lead S.H.I.E.L.D. instead.
* Expert Thief: Johnson also had pickpocketing skills, managing to steal Michael Peterson's driving license in Los Angeles, and a set of keys from an Italian train Conductor without being noticed.

=== Weapons ===
: "If she can learn the difference between the safety release and the magazine release, we'll be making some real progress..."
: ―Grant Ward[src]
During her first months of training to become a full-fledged S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Skye took some weapons training under the supervision of Agent Grant Ward. Although she used some handguns during her first missions with Coulson's Team, she actually never fired a gun against an opponent until becoming a full-fledged Field Agent with Melinda May as her new Supervising Officer.
* IMI Jericho 941 R: Skye disarmed Ian Quinn of this gun after infiltrating his compound in Malta, but she fled before using it.
* Smith & Wesson Model 910: Skye attempted to defend herself, Leo Fitz, and Jemma Simmons from an attack by Akela Amador with this pistol but could not prepare it before Amador knocked the team's van off the road.
* Beretta 92FS: Skye easily disarmed one of Lloyd Rathman's private security guards while posing as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and used it to hold Rathman and the two guards captive.
* Glock 26: While playing along with Grant Ward's request to decrypt her hard drive, she tried to conceal carry this pistol, but Ward confiscated the gun and told her she would not need it.
* Smith & Wesson M&P: Johnson carried this S.H.I.E.L.D. standard-issue sidearm as a full-fledged Field Agent. Skye notably used it to kill many HYDRA operatives on a rescue mission in the Arctic. After the Inhuman Outbreak, she continued to carry this pistol but kept it holstered in favor of her Inhuman powers. Johnson later used this pistol to fire Shrike Bullets at Shrike hosts at the Temple of the Forgotten.
* Smith & Wesson M&P Compact: Skye trained with this pistol at the Playground's shooting range to demonstrate her accuracy and heart rate control to her Supervising Officer Melinda May.
* FN Five-seven: When Grant Ward freed her from HYDRA captivity at the Ponce de León Theater, Skye took this sidearm from a downed HYDRA security officer to repeatedly shoot Ward. She used it to threaten her father and to pursue Raina into the Kree City.
* FN Five-seveN USG: Johnson carried this handgun as her service weapon as a member of HYDRA in the Framework. With it, she threatened Grant Ward while meeting with Jemma Simmons, and she used another HYDRA guard's pistol to shoot her way out of the Triskelion with Melinda May.
* Ruger P: While pursuing the possessed Alphonso Mackenzie, Johnson used a Chinatown Crew member's handgun to fight off the remaining crew members.
* Smith & Wesson Model 10: Johnson used this revolver to threaten Nathaniel Malick at the The Krazy Kanoe and force his father to release Phil Coulson and Melinda May, who were cornered by the Chronicom Hunters.
* Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW: Johnson obtained a fallen HYDRA operative's submachine gun from Lance Hunter and Joey Gutierrez in order to barricade herself and Alphonso Mackenzie inside the portal chamber of the HYDRA Castle while waiting for Phil Coulson and Leo Fitz to return.
* FN P90: Within the Framework, Johnson took this firearm from a HYDRA guard as she tried to escape from the Triskelion before she was captured by Melinda May's squad.
: "Speaking of not puny.""Yeah, I want you to get used to this. It's a sniper rifle."
: ―Skye and Melinda May[src]
* Nemesis Arms Vanquish: Skye began training with this sniper rifle per Melinda May's suggestion in order to get used to its recoil, and she later used to shoot at Donnie Gill to prevent him from freezing May and Lance Hunter on the Maribel del Mar freighter.
* Night-Night Gun: Skye infiltrated Ian Quinn's Villa with this non-lethal handgun, which she fired inaccurately at a guard. She was disarmed by Carlo Mancini before she could shoot Ian Quinn.
* I.C.E.R.: Skye, like every other member of her team, used I.C.E.R.s to incapacitate her targets, carrying one of them when she infiltrated the Cybertek Manufacturing Facility with Melinda May and when she followed an erratic Phil Coulson pursuing the meaning behind Words of Creation. She used it to incapacitate herself before she could accidentally injure anyone with her out-of-control powers.
* Taser Projectile Launcher: With this weapon, Skye fired taser rounds that subdued Carl Creel and allowed the United States Army to apprehend him.
* Shotgun-Axe: During the Battle of the Playground, Johnson escaped from Alphonso Mackenzie's LMD with this weapon. She later shot Jeffrey Mace's LMD multiple times with it before attempting to destroy him with the axe blade.
=== Uniforms and Gloves ===
* Power-Inhibiting Gloves: In order to negate Skye's abilities, Jemma Simmons constructed a pair of gloves for Skye to wear. The gloves were quite uncomfortable to wear, as they were tight, scratchy, and produced a nauseous feeling. However, the gloves damaged her Terrigenesis.
* Quake Gauntlets: After learning how to control her powers, Daisy Johnson added a pair of metal gauntlets to her uniform, which helped her focus her powers. They also greatly reduced the strain her powers placed on her bones, which became apparent when she refused to wear them after abandoning S.H.I.E.L.D.; without them, bone fractures accumulated to the point where even a weak shockwave was painful for her.
* First S.H.I.E.L.D. Uniform: During her time working as a field agent under Coulson's S.H.I.E.L.D., Skye wore a specific suit for operations that consisted off black jeans, a blueish-gray zip-up jacket, a side holster, fingerless gloves, lace-up boots, and a chest harness with a hood attached.
* Second S.H.I.E.L.D. Uniform: After gaining powers as a result of Terrigenesis and returning to the field, Daisy Johnson began to wear a black uniform made up of a jacket and pants, with yellow piping and grey detailing. She also wore metal gauntlets on her lower arms.
: "Why are you wearing that costume?""It's... It's not a costume. It's for protection."
: ―Jemma Simmons and Quake[src]
* Third S.H.I.E.L.D. Uniform: When she picked up the mantle of Quake, she gained a new suit that ditched the yellow piping and added hints of purple, which she matched with highlights in her hair.
=== Other Equipment ===
* Backscatter Glasses: Skye briefly tested the glasses during a game of poker, in order to help Leo Fitz trick Grant Ward; Fitz abandoned the room when Skye jokingly revealed that she could see under their clothes, and she continued to look when Ward was left alone.
* Tracking Bracelet: Skye was forced to carry one of these bracelets to monitor her activities when she seemingly betrayed her teammates in order to warn Miles Lydon that S.H.I.E.L.D. was about to arrest him. She wore it during some time, until her key role in finding Phil Coulson when he was kidnapped by the Centipede Project made her gain his full trust.
* Framework Headset: To be added
* Inhuman Control Device: Daisy Johnson was implanted with an Inhuman Control Device when she was captured by Kasius. The device removed her powers with a push of a button, so Johnson would be restrained. Due to the device activated by Faulnak, she was regularly powerless for some time. Johnson had no intentions to remove it because of her fear that she would cause the Destruction of Earth with her powers. The device was eventually removed by Leo Fitz, who due to a personality split, painfully removed the device out of Johnson so she would use her powers to compress Gravitonium.
* Centipede Serum: During the Battle of Chicago, Johnson fought an enhanced Glenn Talbot and was easily overpowered by him. Using the Centipede Serum containing Jiaying's DNA that she found in her gauntlets, she injected it into herself and her power was enhanced, sending out a vibration strong enough to push Talbot out of the atmosphere in seconds, eventually leading to his death in space.
=== Vehicles ===
: "Hey, no joy rides, okay? It's my house."
: ―Skye to Technician[src]
* Daisy Johnson's Van: Daisy Johnson's van was a big part of her early adulthoood. Not having any parents, she lived in it and even did most of her hacking in the van. After being recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D., her and the van were kidnapped by Mike Peterson. She used her hacking skills to let S.H.I.E.L.D. locate her van and stop Peterson. She then stopped living in her van when she joined Phil Coulson team. After her boyfriend Lincoln Campbell's death, she left S.H.I.E.L.D. and began living in her van once again. After almost a year, she rejoined S.H.I.E.L.D. and started living at their headquarters.
* Bus: When she joined Coulson's Team, Skye lived on a high tech plane called the Bus along with the rest of the team. On one of her first days, she helped blow a hole into the side of the plane to kill a few members of the enemy, Policia Militar del Perú. After the HYDRA Uprising, Skye found out that Grant Ward was HYDRA. She manipulated Ward into taking her onto the Bus. She tried to get him arrested, but was unsuccessful. When hearing of this, John Garrett called in Deathlok, who threatened Ward's life to get information from Skye. Coulson then infiltrated the Bus and got Skye out using L.O.L.A.. The Bus was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s primary transportation plane until it intentionally got destroyed on a mission.
* Quinjet: S.H.I.E.L.D. used a quinjet to get around regularly.
* Zephyr One: After the destruction of the Bus, S.H.I.E.L.D. acquired a new ship that was used regularly.
* Hell Charger: After meeting Robbie Reyes, Quake got into his car and they drove around. A little later, Reyes was seemingly dead and Alphonso Mackenzie went AWOL. Quake got into his car to go catch Mackenzie.
* Sarge's Truck: Quake and Melinda May went with Sarge, in his truck, to destroy the Shrike Tower.
* Zephyr Three: After defeating Nathaniel Malick and the Chronicoms, Quake went on a mission in space with Daniel Sousa and Kora aboard the brand new Zephyr Three, designed specifically for it, allowing her to witness a beautiful nebula.
== Facilities ==
* Saint Agnes Orphanage: One of the orphanages that Skye was bounced around in was Saint Agnes.
* Providence: Along with the rest of her team, Skye sought refuge in the secret base Providence because of the HYDRA Uprising. Unlike her teammates who left for another mission, Skye remained in Providence with Eric Koenig and Grant Ward. However, she soon discovered that Ward had murdered Koenig, but she managed to convince Ward that she still believed him to be a loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and left Providence with him, though not before carving a warning message for her teammates to find when they would return.
* Playground: Skye was among the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who took possession of the Playground to replace the lost S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters at the Triskelion. However, due to the trouble she experienced in controlling her recently acquired Inhuman powers, she was asked to leave the Playground to find shelter in the Retreat. She later returned in the Playground as Daisy Johnson, having sufficiently mastered her abilities to be put in charge of her own team, the Secret Warriors. Johnson seriously damaged the Playground after having been swayed by Hive, who had asked her to retrieve the Kree Orb in the base. She left the base to join Hive, but returned and was locked in a Containment Chamber once Lash put an end to Hive's influence over her. Due to the loss of Lincoln Campbell, Johnson left the Playground after the final battle against Hive to become the vigilante Quake, but later returned as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent under Jeffrey Mace's directorship. When the Playground was infiltrated by Life-Model Decoys sent by Aida, Johnson was able to hide from them and to fight them and managed to escape from the base which was destroyed by Melinda May's LMD.
* Retreat: Skye was sent to the Retreat by Phil Coulson so that the could take the time to gain control over her powers without harming anyone, all the while being protected from other threats. She was visited by the Inhuman Gordon, who offered to take her somewhere else, but she initially declined his proposal. However, when S.H.I.E.L.D. agents sent by Robert Gonzales attempted to capture her, Skye left the Retreat thanks to Gordon.
* Afterlife: Following her escape from the Retreat, Skye was taken to the Inhuman settlement of Afterlife. This was a decisive moment in Skye's life in many aspects: she was reunited with her biological mother Jiaying, she met and befriended Lincoln Campbell, and thanks to their help she learned to control her powers and learned about her true identity of Daisy Johnson. Johnson began considering Afterlife her new home to the point that she sided against S.H.I.E.L.D. when the War Against the Inhumans, which had been secretly staged by Jiaying, erupted. However, Johnson eventually discovered her mother's true motives upon witnessing the murder of Raina, and she was subsequently captured by Jiaying and forced to leave Afterlife to be locked up on the Iliad.
* Hive's Hideout: When swayed by Hive, Johnson spent time at Hive's Hideout. She was eventually saved and freed from the mind control when Lincoln Campbell sent a quinjet containing Lash to the facility.
* Lighthouse: Johnson was the last S.H.I.E.L.D. agent to be sent into the 2091 Lighthouse by Enoch. In an attempt to find her friend Jemma Simmons, Johnson was captured by Kasius, who decided to put her up in an auction and implanted her with an Inhuman Control Device to suppress her powers whenever necessary. Johnson was interrogated by Kasius about her presence in the Lighthouse and was forced to duel against the formidable Sinara, but she was eventually able to escape thanks to Simmons and Leo Fitz. Once they returned into their time, Johnson remained at the Lighthouse, being reluctant at the idea of going outside due to her belief that she could cause the Destruction of Earth. However, she later joined her friends in their new missions in order to help avert the catastrophe. After having been captured by the evil personality of Fitz, The Doctor, Johnson had her inhibitor removed and used her reacquired powers to seal the Fear Dimension rift in the Lighthouse's basement.
* The Krazy Kanoe: In 1931, Johnson and the rest of the team went to the Krazy Kanoe and found Ernest Koenig. They eventually saved Freddy Malick.
=== In the Framework ===
* Triskelion: When she plugged herself in the Framework, Johnson discovered that her alternate reality incarnation was a HYDRA agent stationed at the Triskelion. Johnson tried to maintain her cover as long as possible, but her Inhuman nature was eventually discovered and she was locked up in a cell in the Triskelion by Madame Hydra and The Doctor, who tortured her and interrogated her. Nevertheless, Johnson was able to escape thanks to Melinda May, who shattered a Terrigen Crystal in her cell, triggering her Terrigenesis and granting Johnson back with her powers.
* Playground: Following her Escape from the Triskelion, Johnson went to the Playground, the headquarters of the S.H.I.E.L.D. resistance against HYDRA. She reconnected with her friends Jemma Simmons and Phil Coulson, as well as Grant Ward, who learned that the person he considered his girlfriend had been replaced.

== Trivia ==
* In the comics, Daisy Johnson is a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and loyal subordinate of Nick Fury, whose powers were derived from her father's experiments on himself.
** In the comics, Skye is the name of the brief supporting character of War Machine who claimed to work for an intelligence service.
* Since Skye's identity was revealed, the comics have begun adjusting to resemble her Marvel Cinematic Universe counterpart, with her mother being revealed to be Inhuman and her earning the nickname Skye after aiding the Winter Soldier during his adventures in outer space.
* Johnson has killed six major Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. antagonists: Sinara, Glenn Talbot, Sarge, Sibyl, Gideon Malick and Nathaniel Malick. Conversely, she never encountered only one major Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. antagonist: Eli Morrow.
** Johnson's on-screen kills totals up to 11, giving her the highest kill count of the rest of the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. main cast.
* Johnson was the first Inhuman to be introduced in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
* Johnson once went to Stark Tower in cosplay.
* Johnson is a fan of the Harry Potter franchise.
* In the episode Hot Potato Soup, Sam Koenig mentioned that Quake is the subject to a large amount of "steamy" internet fan fiction, shipping Quake with Black Widow under the name "Quack."
* Two newspapers depicting Johnson published by the New York Bulletin and The Daily Courier that were originally created for the episode Ascension appear in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
== Behind the Scenes ==
* Parisa Fakhri auditioned for the role of Skye.
* Ming Qiu, Samantha Jo, Sarah Molasky, Lauren Mary Kim, Natalie Padilla, Kristina Baskett, Caitlin Dechelle, Ellette Craddock, Courtney Schwartz, Nikki Stanley, Hayley Wright, Renae Moneymaker, Kiera O'Connor and Katie Eischen were stunt doubles for Chloe Bennet in the role of Quake.
