Suggested by vadim_havard
The episode opens on the S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier as Phil Coulson rushes to find Nick Fury but ends up having to just tell Maria Hill that they found an alien symbiote. After telling her the two go back to the lab where they meet with Miles Warren. The episode follows the three as they test on the symbiote and try to figure out where it came from. Meanwhile somewhere else we see a mysterious figure in the shadows speaking with scientist Arnim Zola about the symbiote making its way to Earth. The mysterious figure asks Zola if Hydra knows about it yet to which Zola replies they and S.H.I.E.L.D are the only ones. The mysterious figure reaches his hand out of the shadows and points at a screen playing footage of a symbiote coming to earth 19 years ago in 2004. They watch the as the symbiote in the video kills 200,000 people in Japan alone. The figure tells Zola that an organization called S.W.O.R.D managed to capture the symbiote and eventually found a way to kill it with fire and sound waves. The figure comes out of the shadows to reveal his scarred face and tells Zola they are going to need that symbiote if the next step of their plan is to succeed. We cut back to the Helicarrier where they continue to test on it but after a couple of hours an alarm goes off alerting the everyone on the Hellicarrier that there has been a breach. Phil, Maria, and Miles go to see what it is but when they get back the symbiote is gone and so is the breach.
