October 6, 1983
Melinda and Yo-Yo return on the Quinjet with Mack, Coulson's VCR, and Deke. Mack asks what's wrong, and Jemma says that they've lost control of the time drive as they jump again. She says that they'll jump forward two days, and she doesn't know what it means if they jump within a jump. Deke suggests that they disconnect the fuel cell regulator, and Enoch points out that they can't reach it because the field is cycling at 49 pulses per second and disintegrates anything it touches.
Melinda suggests that Yo-Yo could move fast enough between the pulses, and Yo-Yo points out that she lost her powers because of the Shrike. Daisy suggests that her mother Jiaying knows enough about Inhuman biology, and she's at Afterlife. Jemma calculates that they can get there, and Melinda preps the Quinjet. Mack wants to talk the ramifications through first, and talks with Jemma and Daisy.
They talk in the medlab, and Mack has Coulson reboot Coulson's LMD body. Once he comes back to "life" from the waist up, they tell him what the situation is. Mack worries that they could disturb the time line by fixing the time drive.
Melinda and Enoch set the course to Afterlife, and Mack calls to say that the mission is a go. He tells yo-Yo that she has it, and she leaves in the Quinjet with Melinda just before the Zephyr jumps. As the Quinjet flies to Afterlife, Melinda says that she was starting to feel more like herself until she picked up on Mack and Yo-Yo's reunions. Yo-Yo jokingly says that it's invasive, and they figure Melinda's emotional sensing powers will help her bond with Jiaying.
Melinda lands the cloaked Quinjet near Afterlife and they go to Afterlife. Li and Gordon run by, and Li tells the fleeing Kora that she can't outrun Gordon. Kora stops and asks the two Inhumans not to take her to Afterlife. Gordon and Li see Melinda and Yo-Yo, and Gordon teleports them to a locked chamber in Afterlife.
Later, Jiaying visits Melinda and Yo-Yo, Yo-Yo says that she was told to find Jiaying and she's an Inhuman, and needs their help. She explains that she was poisoned and lost her powers, and Li doesn't believe her. Melinda senses his feelings, and says that he believe her at least wants to. Jiaying confirms that Melinda isn't an Inhuman, and Jiaying says that humans die if they touch but Inhumans don't.
Yo-Yo picks up the Diviner and nothing happens, and Jiayang says that they'll do what they can for her. Once they leave, Li warns that they're exposing themselves by helping Yo-Yo. Jiaying says that if something took away Yo-Yo's gift, they need to know how it was done in case it's done to them. Li tells her to learn what she can, but afterward Yo-Yo and Melinda can't be allowed to leave.
Later, an Inhuman medic administers acupuncture while Melinda and Jiaying look on. Jiaying says that the treatment will help break down any poison in her body, and Jiaying says that it would help to know what the poison is. Yo-Yo explains that the poison killed a friend of hers but she doesn't know where it came from, and Melinda picks up Li's feelings and glances over at him. Yo-Yo thanks Jiaying for her help, and Li tells Melinda that he'll decide when and if they leave. When Melinda asks if Kora is a prisoner, Li says that Kora isn't Melinda's concern.
Melinda asks what he did to Kora, and Li draws a knife and puts it to her throat. Yo-Yo can't move at superspeed, and Melinda disarms Li. He disarms her but he draws another knife, and says that he wanted to see what progress Yo-Yo had made. Melinda tells Yo-Yo that she can handle things.
That night, Melinda and Yo-Yo talk. Yo-Yo doesn't think much of the treatments and wants to go back to the Zephyr. They hear Kora screaming, and go out in the hallway. Li is taking Kora away, and Jiayang is there and says that Kora will be fine. Jiaying that the final test results on Yo-Yo should prove her theory, and she leads them back to their room and locks the door. Melinda says that whatever was going on with Kora, it's not their fight.
The Zephyr jumps nearby, and Deke prepares to cut the power to the drive. The Zephyr powers down, and Deke radios Jemma that what they tried didn't work before the drive activates again.
Jiaying goes to the agents' room and says that the tests were negative and Yo-Yo's problem is in her mind rather than physical. Yo-Yo isn't impressed, and figures Jiaying can't help her. Jiaying suggests that Melinda use her empathic powers to guide Yo-Yo on an exploration of her emotional past. Melinda isn't interested, but Jiayang asks if they want to take what might be Yo-Yo's only chance.
Melinda and Yo-Yo meet in a room filled with candles, and the two women argue. Jiaying points out that physical contact makes the emotional bond stronger, and Melinda reluctantly puts her hand on Yo-Yo. Jiaying leaves, and Melinda says that all she's feeling from Yo-Yo is embarrassment. They spar and Melinda tells Yo-Yo to avoid her hits using her power. Yo-Yo has flashbacks of being young, and Melinda says that she felt doubt and guilt.
The two women go back to sparring, and Yo-Yo has flashbacks to a woman, Ruby. They hesitate, and Yo-Yo says that it was bad. Melinda points out that Yo-Yo didn't have regrets, they continue sparring. Melinda pins Yo-Yo, who has another flashback, and Melinda figures that they're getting ready.
The Zephyr stops jumping, and Daniel readies the parachutes. Jemma goes to check on the drive, leaving Daisy and a restored Coulson alone. Coulson talks about how he was thirsty without a body, when he was in the VCR, and it drove him crazy. He wonders if his feelings are programming, and Daisy talks about how Daniel rescued her.
Jemma and Daniel go to the cargo bay and prepares parachutes to jump. Jemma gives Daniel a prosthetic leg to replace his damaged leg, and Daniel admits that he was unfair to her back in 1973. As he looks at the leg, Jemma says that there's something she has to do. As she goes, the Zephyr jumps again.
Yo-Yo says that she was 10 or 11 when she stayed with her uncle and her cousin Francisco.
-----
The gang after Yo-Yo's father track them down and break their house, and Yo-Yo and Francisco hide. The gangers take Abela's necklace, and Yo-Yo sneaks out of the closet and takes the necklace. When the gangers realize she stole the necklace, the uncle, Oscar, tries to stop them and is accidentally shot. Once the ganger leave, Yo-Yo and Francisco emerge from hiding and go to their dead uncle.
-----
Yo-Yo blames herself for moving when she shouldn't have, and Melinda says that Yo-Yo is impulsive but that's not a bad thing. She figures Yo-Yo needs to forgive herself for what happened. They hear Li yelling to Jiaying, and Melinda goes out. He says that Kora escaped, and says that there's only been one solution to the problem.
Once they move out, Melinda emerges from hiding and follows them to the cell where Kora was held. When Melinda asks what happened, Jiaying says that she did it to herself. She explains that Kora is an Inhuman with the gift of projecting radiation, but holding in the radiation causes her pain.. Li says that Kora nearly almost destroyed Afterlife, and they hope to use the treatment on Yo-Yo to take away Kora's powers.
Two Inhumans bring in an irradiated guard, and Li confirms that Kora took his gun. Jiaying insists that Kora is afraid of Li, and Melinda says that's not what she's afraid of.
Kora runs through the field, then stops and prepares to shoot herself. Nathaniel arrives and uses his powers to destroy the gun, and tells her that she doesn't have to die. Kora asks who he is, and Nathaniel introduces himself and says that he was supposed to die as well. He tells Kora that he found an escape hatch and asks Kora if she wants to come along, and explains that Sibyl saw that Kora would be there and led him there. Nathaniel asks if she thinks Afterlife is a prison, and Kora says that it's her home. When she says that her powers aren't controllable, Nathaniel tells her to let them out.
A fleet of helicopters belonging to Nathaniel flies overhead toward Afterlife, and Nathaniel invites Kora to come with him as they unleash some chaos. He offers her his hand, and Kora considers it.
At Afterlife, an invading soldier prepares to gun down Yo-Yo. Her powers still don't work, and Melinda arrives and takes out the soldier. and Jiaying and Brian arrive.
On the Zephyr, Daniel gives Jemma her radio. She goes to a control panel and records a message to Fitz, saying the mission hasn't gone as planned. She says that they may have to abandon the Zephyr in 1983, and warns that it won't be easy but they'll find some way to be together again. Deke comes in behind Jemma and secretly listens to her as she tells Fitz that she won't stop trying to find him. Jemma says that loves Fitz, and Deke clears his throat to get her attention, and says that everyone is gathering in Command.
as the team make their way down the hall, Gordon teleports in and takes out a soldier preparing to ambush them. He says that there are too many of them. They find Nathaniel and Kora, and Jiaying tells Kora to get away from Nathaniel. Nathaniel tells Jiaying that she's put Kora through enough. Kora says that she's been trying to be something that she's not, and tells Jiaying that she turned on her and there's only fear in Jiaying's eyes. Jiaying insists that she loves Kora, and reminds her that she told her she would protect Kora from the bad things. Kora angrily says that Jiaying protected the world from her, and her eyes glow as she unleashes her powers. Li goes after her, and Kora kills him with a radiation blast.
Jiaying begs Kora to stop, and Kora charges at her. Melinda has Gordon teleport them to the Quinjet, and Jiaying refuses to leave her people behind, including her daughter Kora. Yo-Yo and Melinda says that they're not going to abandon them, and gives them a watch with coordinates to meet them. Once Gordon teleports away with Jiaying, Melinda takes the Quinjet up.
On the Zephyr, he team wait for the Quinjet to rendezvous. Enoch warns that the intervals between jumps will continue to get shorter, and they are moments away from catastrophic disaster. Mack gives the order for them to abandon, and the Zephyr jumps again.
Melinda flies the Quinjet to the rendezvous coordinates, and she tells Yo-Yo that they should have enough time to dock with the Zephyr when it arrives. Yo-Yo says that she hasn't regained her powers to deactivate the drive. The Zephyr arrives and Melinda docks the Quinjet with it right before it jumps again. Inside, Yo-Yo tells the others that the "cure" didn't work. She apologizes to Mack, who says that she did what she could. As they head to the Quinjet to evacuate, the Zephyr jumps again and they have 30 seconds until the next jump.
Melinda tells Yo-Yo that it isn't her fault. Yo-Yo figures that she's never going to get her powers back, then has an idea. She figures that she doesn't have to bounce back, and speeds to the drive. She moves between the pulses and turns off the drive, and the Zephyr stops jumping. Mack looks at the monitor showing Yo-Yo in the drive room, and he goes there. The two of them hug and Yo-Yo explains that she was holding herself back by bouncing back. She says that going to Afterlife worked out... for them.
In the medbay, Daniel finishes putting on the prosthetic lab. Daisy puts herself in the cryogenic healing chamber.
Coulson drinks water, and Jemma tells him that he'll have to power down for a few hours because he hasn't powered up yet. He enters his chamber and shuts down.
Enoch works on the Drive, and tells the watching Deke that he thinks he can get them home. He turns on the drive and then warns that it didn't work. The Zephyr jumps again, disappearing.
Nathaniel's soldiers capture the Inhumans at Afterlife and force them to kneel on the floor. Kora asks what Nathaniel is going to do with them, and he says that he's going to redistribute the Inhuman powers and give the world anarchy.
