Playground, after submitting to brain scans proving they are not infected. While working on a way to cure those Hive has infected, Fitz and Simmons kiss. Daisy escapes her cell and visits an incarcerated Lincoln, revealing that she is the one who is under Hive's control, and that she murdered Malick and framed Lincoln. She tries to convince him to leave with her and join Hive, but a disappointed and betrayed Lincoln refuses. Stealing the Kree artifact and several Terrigen crystals, Daisy uses her powers to destroy much of the Playground, with Coulson, May, Fitz, Simmons, Mack and Lincoln trapped inside, before escaping in a quinjet. In an end tag, Hive informs Giyera that Daisy (whom he refers to as 'Skye', based on Ward's memories) has killed Malick, and they debate what to do with the vast fortune he left behind.
