Whitehall is impressed, but Hales ambition and smarts dont sit well with everybody.
While Sitwell is sent to S.H.I.E.L.D., Hale is assigned to infiltrate the Air Force.
That holds the tantalizing possibility of possibly becoming an astronaut one day.
That reality never materialized, but Hale finds a way to get to space anyway.
Years later, its Rubys turn to go through the same Hydra training as her mother.
Ruby comes of age in a world where Hydra is flagging.
infiltrations have collapsed, its leaders are dead, and its resources are depleted.
So Ruby feels validated arguing against the demand that she kill her dog.
When you cut off one head of the Hydra, two more rise to take its place.
Now, Hale and Ruby are the only two heads left.
Hale and Ruby were there as students, but the recovering General Talbot is there as a prisoner.
Hes not able to tell her much more before Talbot bursts in to arrest him.
In the here and now, however, Hale isnt quite as loyal to Hydra.
She thinks the existence of an alien threat to Earth demands that Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D.
put aside their old differences and present a united front for the sake of Earth.
Talbot doesnt like that, though, which brings Hale to her current prisoner: Coulson.
This episode really served to remind me how much I love Coulson.
If this reallyisanInfinity Wartie-in, its happening a lot more organically than I expected!
This is when Coulson realizes whats happening: This is the plan that will lead to Daisy destroying Earth!
And then we end on a really nice note!
Simmons realizes that this same principle applies to her and Fitz.
God, I love FitzSimmons.
