The episode starts with the aftermath of the previous episode, where Agent Coulson and his team were able to stop one of HYDRA's plans to turn the world's population into Inhumans. However, this victory comes with a price, as Bobbi Morse (Mockingbird) has been severely injured and is fighting for her life.

As the team tries to save Bobbi's life, they also have to prepare for a new threat from HYDRA. A group of enhanced individuals called the "Real S.H.I.E.L.D." are introduced, led by Robert Gonzales. They claim to be the real S.H.I.E.L.D., and they want to take over the organization from Coulson.

Coulson and his team are taken by surprise by this new threat and are forced to split up to try and handle multiple problems at once. While some of them try to reason with the Real S.H.I.E.L.D. and convince them that they are all on the same side, others have to deal with another HYDRA plan that involves unleashing an ancient Inhuman called "Lash."

Amidst all of this chaos, tensions rise as the team realizes that they may have different goals and motivations. Skye, who has been trying to come to terms with her Inhuman abilities, is caught in the middle and has to choose who to trust and who to fight against.

The episode ends with a massive cliffhanger, as Coulson and his team are left in a dire situation that puts their lives in danger. It sets up Part 2 of the finale perfectly and leaves viewers on the edge of their seats, eagerly anticipating what will happen next.
