Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Jemma and Daisy discover that things have gone horribly wrong in the Framework, when they realize that Hydra now rules the world and ruthlessly hunts down and exterminates Inhumans.
Our Take
A dark, unsettling hour that mostly pays off the Framework setup. Watching familiar characters twisted into Hydra loyalists gives the show a fresh jolt, and the dystopian atmosphere lands well even if some of the world-building is rushed. It’s a solid setup episode more than a great standalone, but the stakes feel real for the first time in a while. Worth checking in for.
