Chapter Summaries

Deacon Frost traced Baron Strucker’s living descendants and planned to capture Otto Strucker, prompting Daisy and Viper to intervene so the vampires would not destabilize Hydra. Daisy and Viper divided up the people who needed protection as Otto continued his work at the Worthington Industries Research Institute.

• Deacon Frost discovered that Otto Strucker and several other descendants of Baron Strucker were alive, and the vampires captured and killed three people with the Strucker surname while searching for them.
• Baron Strucker deployed troops to the United States after learning someone was targeting his bloodline, while Deacon Frost sought help capturing Otto at the Worthington Industries Research Institute.
• Daisy and Viper overheard the vampires’ plan and decided to protect the Struckers to keep Baron Strucker and Hydra stable.
• Daisy assigned herself to watch Otto at the research institute, while Viper took responsibility for Caitlin Strucker, Lauren Strucker, Andy Strucker, and the other secondary targets.
• Otto continued his decades-long effort to eliminate Mutant genes, believing he had removed them from his son with a treatment he developed at Worthington Industries.

Old Otto Strucker discovered that a child living between trash bins could suppress Mutant powers, and he hoped the child might help him cure the Mutant gene. When Deacon Frost came to seize Otto for information about a Baron, the child’s power left the vampire vulnerable to Otto’s gunfire.

• Old Otto Strucker realized that Mutant traits had resurfaced in his grandchildren and intensified his research into an improved inhibitor.
• Old Otto returned to the child between the trash bins and found that the child’s force field suppressed his Mutant cells and erased his powers.
• Old Otto decided the child might be the key to eliminating the Mutant gene and bringing him to the Worthington Research Institute.
• Deacon Frost confronted Old Otto about a Baron, and Otto’s reaction convinced him that Otto knew the Baron.
• Deacon Frost approached Otto, but the child’s force field affected him, allowing Otto to shoot him in the chest.

Old Otto killed Deacon Frost and the vampires with a pistol that suppressed their abilities, then took the hidden boy away. Daisy recognized the boy as Leech and arranged for Baldy to take him, while she erased Old Otto’s memories.

• Deacon Frost died after Old Otto shot him, and the vampires realized the pistol could kill them.
• The remaining vampires attacked Old Otto to seize his gun, but he shot them all while Baron Strucker secretly watched.
• Baron Strucker left Hydra agents to clear the scene, and Old Otto dragged the boy from the trash into his car.
• Daisy recognized the boy as Leech and had Baldy intercept Old Otto after he drove more than a hundred miles.
• Baldy took Leech, while Daisy used mind control to make Old Otto forget the killings and go home.

Daisy brought Leech into Hydra’s care and collected his blood, discovering that his ability could suppress her powers. She gave the blood to Dr. Lizard to test as a way to improve the Extremis Potion, leaving him to explore a method of suppressing Extremis’s dangerous side effects.

• Daisy used mind control to make Old Otto remember his murders and flee, then had Baldy take Leech to a Hydra base.

• Daisy arranged for Leech to stay at Mr. Sitwell’s home, offered him care and training in exchange for blood, and collected ten tubes after he settled in.
• At Skye Tower, Daisy told Dr. Lizard to test Leech’s blood and proposed shifting the Sentinel Robots’ purpose from attacking Mutants to defending against threats.
• Daisy suggested using Extremis to repair the body and a Leech-derived potion to suppress Extremis afterward and prevent its dangerous effects.

Daisy arranged for Dr. Lizard to study Leech’s cells as a way to control Extremis’s side effects and develop power-nullifying Sentinel Robots. Baldy’s quiet life caring for Leech ended when Agent Sitwell was summoned by Mr. Whitehall.

• A caller told Agent Sitwell that Mr. Whitehall needed his help, startling Baldy.

Baldy was summoned by Whitehall, who raided his home to recruit him and demand information about Hydra inside S.H.I.E.L.D. The meeting turned against Whitehall when his Inhuman cells suddenly malfunctioned and he spat up black blood.

• Bakshi brought Leech downstairs at gunpoint, and Whitehall tried to use the child as leverage.
• Whitehall's Inhuman cells suddenly went out of control, and he collapsed after coughing up black blood.

Whitehall collapsed after Leech’s power suppressed the Inhuman cells keeping his failing body alive. Daisy arrived, revealed Whitehall had murdered her mother for those cells, and left him dying without help.

• Leech’s power caused Whitehall’s organs to fail, and Bakshi and Baldy mistook his efforts to point at the child as an accusation against Bakshi.

• Daisy told Whitehall that he had killed her mother and used her Inhuman cells to sustain himself.

• Daisy waited for Chen Xiaoyi to reach her in the mountains and recognized that Xiaoyi carried a related Inhuman bloodline.

• Daisy gave the candidates three days to prepare and contacted Attilan; then Lockjaw Tetanus arrived to take them there with Daisy, Director Fury, and Agent May.

Daisy brought Agent May, Director Fury, and Andrew Garner to Attilan so Andrew and two others could undergo Terrigen awakening. Andrew emerged as a monstrous Inhuman, and Daisy, Black Bolt, and Maximus restrained him while Maximus helped him confront his hostility through an illusion.

Daisy and Attilan’s scientists examined three newly transformed Inhumans and identified the abilities and genetic flaws of Andrew Garner, James Slade, and Yoyo Rodriguez. After two days of training and emotional stabilization, Andrew had gained better control of his Lash transformation, while Yoyo’s memory problems remained unresolved.

• Andrew Garner transformed into an iron-blue monster, then returned to human form and learned he could control his ability with training.
