![]() It’s a super nice touch to use the same song from the beginning of the episode to close it out.This must be the MCU’s take on Flashpoint, right? So we can maybe expect six to seven more episodes of wild and crazy Framework antics, most likely, and along with that, the return of some old faces. Each season’s been about 21-22 episodes long, and here, we’re only at 15. The “return” of Hydra and Ward mean one hell of a reset for this next arc, which (I think) may close out the season.Who the fuck regrets Simmons being alive? What kind of monster would rather see her dead? Oh my god, is that Simmons’ dream? Is she in the Framework believing she’s dead?! We know if you die in the Framework you die for real, but wait, does this mean Simmons is dead?! What’s going on here?! Every agent has a “Framework dream,” right? Where they live in a world where their biggest regret is wiped away. That being said, it was a brilliant damned episode, and certainly was a massive, massive highlight for me.I don’t think I can recover from this episode.He’s dying as he’s being uploaded (much in the same way his ex died while she was being uploaded). She takes Radcliffe’s arms… then slices his wrists open before shoving him into the Framework. This eases the paradox in Aida’s mind, at least according to her. “They perceive it as real, which makes it real.” Aida argues that they might not believe that, which Radcliffe counters by saying that he does, truly and wholeheartedly. Radcliffe says that doesn’t matter, explaining that reality is just perception. Aida mentions that though their minds might be at peace, their physical bodies will give out eventually. He truly believes he’s relieving people’s pain with the Framework. Radcliffe, of course, finds this ridiculous. She feels this is a paradox, as she’s convinced that Radcliffe could one day change his mind and have her dismantle the Framework. ![]() She and Radcliffe have a conversation regarding her primary parameters, which are to protect the Framework at all costs while at the same time protecting Radcliffe at all costs. Over at Radcliffe’s lab, it’s shown that Aida’s building a brand new LMD (likely for the Superior, despite his wishes). Simmons says that she’ll tell Fitz when she sees him, then drops the hammer, releasing an engine block that was hanging from the ceiling. Apparently Fitz (the real Fitz) was just afraid of bringing it up because while he thought he knew what the answer would be, nobody can ever really be 100% sure. ![]() Fitz then mentions something about being together forever, and Simmons stops to comment on that, saying that it’s the first time Fitz has ever said anything about getting married. He has her heavily sedated, but she slowly frees herself from her bonds and crawls over to a hammer on the floor. Aida, though? Less so.Īt HQ, LMD Fitz is trying to download Simmons’ memories. Aida mentions to him that there are four LMDs in play now at HQ, and it’s only a matter of time until they replace the last two top agents: “Jemma and, of course, Daisy.” It’s also noted that their commands aren’t exactly subconscious-they’re all fully aware they’re LMDs, which Radcliffe angrily points out could result in loss of life, something he’s still adamantly against. ![]() Radcliffe is spending more and more time in the Framework, but Aida pulls him out (this time after 24 hours). The more evidence you try to present to prove your humanity only makes you sound like even more of a robot.) Then they have that impossible argument where they try to figure out who’s actually a robot. Simmons catches the alarm first on her datapad, and she makes a move for a gun nearby. As they bring it into the mechanics lab, though, a warning light goes off-apparently one of them tripped the LMD alarm. LMD May asks, “Are you saying we’ll eventually be able to be… together?” LMD Coulson answers, “I’m saying that in the Framework, we already are.”Įlsewhere, Fitz and Simmons are wheeling away the hardware they mentioned earlier. LMD May freaks out, and LMD Coulson tries to calm her by talking about Radcliffe’s Framework and how it was created to erase regrets. It’s at this point that LMD Coulson reveals that he’s actually an LMD, too, showing that his arm is whole-there’s no split or cut where his arm was chopped off way back when. There, LMD May is looking out at the snow, and in a truly classic sci-fi moment, she talks about having memories of snow, very specific memories about playing or being in the snow, but she knows that this is actually the first time she’s seen it at all. ![]()
