Plot

Victoria Hand greets them and takes Garrett into custody to take him into The Fridge a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. Nick Fury greets them and asks Fitz how his machine is doing. He doesn't talk so Simmons tells him.

Skye and Fitz go into The Base and she asks him why he didn't talk. He says whenever he has a secret and if a person who doesn't know about talks to him he accidently reveals it. She kisses him and he calms down.

Simmons and Coulson leave to find Fury again and tell him about capturing Garrett. He assigns Ward and May to find Agent Sitwell and interrogate him about what he said about having another on his team.

Coulson and Simmons get trapped in the elevator after Garrett calls them and tells him that the Clairvoyant who is hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D. cut the power. Ward and May realize the power was cut and ask Sitwell if he knows who did it. Sitwell asks him how he would know. Ward    says because he said something suspicious.

Coulson and Simmons pry open the doors and climb to the top. When they find Fury they tell him about Garrett. He rewards them with rooms there. Fitz and Skye are trapped in a closet with a door hooked up to the electricity. Once everyone gets out Sitwell is taken into custody for working for CyberTech.
