This whole arc is like how in Oblivion Mankar Camoran used an evil book to create his own daedric plane that was supposed to be a paradise but is actually a hell for anyone who goes there.

Fitz, Coulson, Mack and Mace were all captured and replaced with LMDs at the same time. Mace might have been in a bit longer.

He still has Burrows. What more could Mace ask for?

That Fitz and Aida entrance gave me Star Wars vibes.

Interesting choice of name, Aida. Presumably, she read all of Hamlet, not just the first part?

She'd make for a better April O'Neil than Megan Fox.

We know how she would justify it because we saw her reaction to finding out about Agnes to begin with. Later that very episode Agnes dies not long after she's plugged into the Framework. Aida's probably responsible for that, too.

No, I can't imagine Aida has allowed Agnes to exist in the Framework. Even as a twin sister. Maybe even especially as a twin sister. Aida's problem with Agnes is that Agnes' very existence meant she was not unique.

She has more contempt for anything that reminds her she isn't a real human being. I wouldn't be surprised if Aida was responsible for Agnes' death in the real world, too. She wasn't that close to death when Radcliffe plugged her in, was she?

What Radcliffe wants isn't Agnes, it's for his work to be recognized as bettering humanity. He only cared about Agnes as much as curing her condition was a challenge to him. They grew distant when it became clear he couldn't help her, only to take an interest in her again once he realized the Framework could.

Yeah, I found some more that give a bit more info. Katya Belyakov killed 279 of her classmates and teachers, and Radcliffe developed a means to reverse Terrigenesis using Raina as a guinea pig.

I really want to believe that Ward is with the Resistance because his brother, a Massachusetts senator, also exploited the incident at Cambridge for his own political gain and that is what opened his eyes to Hydra being the bad guys.

I want Whitehall.

They also show "the Resistance" is SHIELD itself and Mace is known as "The Patriot."

The point is that Hydra told everyone they were founded as a cult that worshiped an Inhuman.

Yeah, Aida is really insecure about being, for lack of a better term, an artificial person. Her first reaction to finding out about Agnes was horror that she wasn't unique. There's no way Madame Hydra is allowing anyone who looks just like her to exist in her world.

Aida has probably already erased Agnes from the Framework.

The funny thing is that Hydra's ancient origins seems to be common knowledge. Hydra exploited fear of Inhumans to take over, but how did they explain Hive?

He gets to be an actual superhero with actual superpowers fighting to end prejudice against Inhumans.

Coulson was never married. He was dating the cellist when he died on the Helicarrier, but he met her on a S.H.I.E.L.D. mission. His regret is joining S.H.I.E.L.D. to begin with. His LMD said as much to the May LMD in the previous episode. He joined so young he never got a chance to have a normal adult life.
