Plot summary

Following Creel's theft of the Obelisk, Hunter is captured by Talbot's men. Creel absorbs the properties of the Obelisk and accidentally kills a waitress in a bar. He later meets Raina, but declines her offer of help. Talbot tries to persuade Hunter to work for him and sets him free, but Hunter returns to S.H.I.E.L.D., wanting revenge for his fallen friends. Agent Leo Fitz and the mechanic Agent Alphonso Mackenzie are able to build a weapon that can incapacitate Creel. As the team observes Creel making a deal with Whitehall's second-in-command Sunil Bakshi, Hunter disarms the other agents and tries to kill Creel himself.

Creel easily defeats Hunter but, just as he is about to kill him, Coulson incapacitates Creel with the new weapon. Coulson later asks Hunter to stay and help S.H.I.E.L.D., then tells Talbot that he is wasting his time tracking S.H.I.E.L.D. and turns Creel over to him. The Obelisk is later shown in the possession of Raina and "The Doctor" —Skye's father—who is asking the former to find his daughter.
