- At a bar that is also a SHIELD hang out, Nathaniel approaches a young man, John, throwing darts and drinking beer. He says that he knows a lot about John, and in seven years he knows that when John is wounded in the Balkans, SHIELD doesn't rescue him and it leads to John joining Hydra.

Out in the hallway, Daisy complains that Melinda didn't tell her about her daughter, Kora. Melinda says that Kora is volatile and already tried to kill Jiaying. She says that it's possible Koa wasn't alive when Daisy was there, and suggests that in the original timeline Kora killed herself. Daisy figures that's why Jiaying left afterlife after Kora died.

At Afterlife, Grady drains Li's powers and Nathaniel shows John the process they've perfected. Kora is looking on, and Nathaniel says that they're robbing from the mighty and giving to the needy. He goes to one mercenary, Durant, who SHIELD shot down his plane. Nathaniel says that all of the organizations don't care about the "little people". Durant demonstrates his power to summon blades that he's getting from Li, and Nathaniel has Kora put Li out of his mercy by killing him.

Deke is listening to music when Jemma comes up behind him. He assures Jemma that they'll make Enoch's sacrifice worthwhile, and Jemma figures that Fitz isn't controlling the time jumps even though they thought he was. She points out that the first jumps could have been programmed, and every one since then has been a malfunction.
