Derek and John are back this week to discuss VisionQuest Episodes 7 Immolation the penultimate episode of the season. Make sure you have watched it before you listen as we spoil all the big reveals and twists of the episode.

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 7 Directed by: Terry Matalas

Episode 7 Written by: Matthew Okumura

 In 1939, Phineas Horton creates J.I.M. to cope with the death of his son James. His focus on the creation of this alternate synthetic being alienates his wife and daughter. After Phineas sells their home to fund his obsession his estranged wife and his daughter leave him and emigrate to New York. His daughter takes Phineas' scientific notepad with her.

 In the present, Jocasta uses the collected bio-keys to unlock the nest which stores her nanobots. But a sixth key is required to unlock the cradle that she was unaware of. Using the keys sets off a chain reaction that brings The Client to both her and Vision. 

The Client offers to help Jocasta learn about her past and restore her missing memories, while he also offers Vision access to his subconsciousness to find his source code. He promises this code will fix Lisa and make Vision complete by allowing him to feel. In return Vision will surrender himself to The Client or face destruction. 

Requiring a significant energy supply, Vision enters his subconscious with help from the Paladin and a familiar weapon once wielded by Corvus Glaive. In his sub-processors Vision encounters manifestations of Ultron, the original Vision, J.I.M., and Horton. Speaking with J.I.M vision is forced to confront the reality that the memories he has are his own and he accepts that he Tommy as his son. J.I.M. provides Vision with Horton's original code, allowing him to neutralise the nanobot controlling Lisa. 

Meanwhile, Ultron and F.R.I.D.A.Y. follow Jocasta into her memories, where she finds that as Joe Carrington, she had a partner who resembled Ultron's human avatar. The Client, Carrington's partner, captures Jocasta as Ultron throws F.R.I.D.A.Y. off a balcony in Jocasta's mind palace

As Vision must now surrender himself to the Client, he leaves Tommy and Lisa asleep after they fly to London from Madripoor. Vision leaves Tommy a message and all episodes of WandaVision acknowledging him as his son and the loss of the rest of his family, Billy and Wanda.

After Vision is delivered to The Client by Paladin at a manor house resembling Phineas Horton's estate, the Client's men blow up the Paladin in his murder van as he leaves and the shadowy Client and owner of the estate with shot gun in hand is revealed to be Ultron's human avatar.

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 5 and 6 Directed by: Vincenzo Natali

Episode 5 Written by:  Christopher Monfette

Episode 6 Written by: Nicole Falsetti

Episode 5 Firewall Synopsis

Trapped in Ultron's attic within the Mindspace, Vision and the other AIs attempt to track Ultron. They find recordings showing Ultron talking with Tommy at a pub before allowing the Paladin to kidnap him, as well as a memory cache revealing that Ultron had leaked Vision's location to Paladin. 

They also discover that Ultron scanned Caterina Wells' face before Jocasta vaporized her, giving him possession of the final biomarker. Jocasta offers to reveal what the biomarkers unlock if Ultron gives the biomarker to her. 

Meanwhile back in the Mindspace's attic the AIs realize that lowering the firewall in their code is the only way for Vision to regain control of his body to rescue Tommy, though doing so also grants Ultron access to the digital world. 

Ultron meets Vision in the attic and gives him a choice - to keep him and them locked up or lower the firewall and save Tommy. Vision lowers the firewall that allows Vision to regain control while Ultron escapes the Mindspace, but with F.R.I.D.A.Y. in pursuit. 

Vision awakens alongside Lisa aboard a plane headed to Madripoor.

Episode 6 Deadlock Synopsis

Paladin brings Tommy to Madripoor to blackmail Vision and Lisa into surrendering, but they are interrupted when Ten Rings soldiers, led by Raza al-Wazar on behalf of the Client, attack them. 

Tommy and Lisa hijack Paladin's van with help from E.D.I.T.H. and assist Vision, while Paladin subdues Raza. 

Elsewhere, in her own Mindspace, Jocasta reveals to Ultron that the biomarkers unlock the nest, a vault of nanobots she created as Joe Carrington. Jacosta plans to deploy the nanobots to make humans more machine-like and to control their minds. 

F.R.I.D.A.Y., who followed Ultron into the Mindspace and disguised herself as an ordinary robot, alerts E.D.I.T.H. to the dangers of the nanobots, but Jocasta manages to infect Lisa with a prototype nanobot. 

Tommy uses his powers to deactivate it, saving Lisa but as they flee Madripoor, with an unconscious Lisa, Vision tells Tommy the truth about the WandaVision sitcom and his memories. 

Back in Jocasta's Mindspace, Ultron and Jocasta's relationship develops further as they embrace each other and share a kiss.

Derek and Chris return to chat about this weeks drop of VisionQuest Episodes 3 and 4 Reboot and Malware. Make sure you have seen both episodes before you listen along to our spoiler filled chat about them.

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 3 and 4 Directed by: Gandja Monteiro

Episode 3 Written by: Cindy Appel

Episode 4 Written by: Michael Taylor

Episode 3 - "Reboot"

Vision and Tommy go on the run after their escape from the Paladin's attack. The Adamantium bullets used on Vision begin to shut down his body until he uses battery acid to halt his permanent death.

Inside his neural network, the team of FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH realise they need to do a full Reboot to fully fix Vision. 

Meanwhile Ultron discovers that a serial killer called Butcherbird is leaving etched wings at the crime scene of their victims. When Paladin accidentally tracks the killer down he reveals it's an android on a murder mission. After he escapes, Paladin's client cancels their contract with him. 

While hiding out in a hotel, Vision convinces Tommy to overcome his fear of water and use his speed powers to restart Vision's broken body. But the reboot attracts the robots attention and the "Butcherbird" begins attacking VISION's mind space.

In Episode 4 - "Malware"

The Butcherbird Killer possesses Vision and threatens to harm Tommy if he interferes in her plan, but E.D.I.T.H. manages to expel the invading programme from his mainframe. 

Vision, Tommy, and the AIs investigate the killer and discover that her victims were all board members of Markridge Biotech, whose founders developed the first stable synthetic consciousness, the precursor to their Artificial Intelligence. The Butcherbird Killer has collected biomarkers from her victims including blood, fingerprints and an eyeball. The only surviving founder of the company is Katerina Wells. 

With Lisa's help, Vision and Tommy infiltrate a gala hosted by Katerina Wells, where Vision tells Tommy about the ancient prototype J.I.M., an unstable synthetic man whose emotions caused him to combust. 

Tommy realises Vision has kept Ultron's existence secret and storms away from the party. The Butcherbird Killer attacks the gala and reveals herself as Jocasta, a synthezoid based on Markridge co-founder Dr. Josephine "Jo" Carrington.

Unable to defeat her, Vision allows Ultron to take control. But Ultron manipulates Jocasta into killing Katerina Wells, preventing the synthezoid from obtaining the final biomarker. Ultron then betrays Vision and locks him and the other AIs out of their systems, and leaves the gala with Tommy in tow.

Vision Character Created by Roy Thomas and artist John Buscema

Creator and Showrunner: Terry Matalas

Episode 1 and 2 Written by: Terry Matalas

Episode 1 and 2 Directed by: Christopher J. Byrne

Episode 1 - No Strings

Years after the events in Westview, the original but rebooted Vision has returned to Edinburgh in Scotland.

He works in a local pub, attempting to learn how to interact with humans the way his former self did. In his down time, he lives in a virtual space where he is aided by a new family, all of Stark Industries former A.I. helpers, JARVIS, FRIDAY, U, DUM-E and EDITH. But in the attic of their virtual home he keeps his megalomaniacal father Ultron.

Ultron learns that someone has put a hit on Vision and, bored with his mediocre existence, Ultron leaks the location to the bounty hunter Paladin. 

But, unable to kill Vision on his first attempt, Paladin and his handler access the SWORD files relating to the Westview incident. They learn about a boy called Thomas Sheppard who claims to be the son of Wanda Maximoff and Vision.

Paladin kidnaps the impossible boy and threatens to kill him if Vision doesn't turn himself in.

In episode 2 - Theseus

A year ago, Thomas Sheppard was arrested after an incident to police in London. He has memories that can't exist of a time when he was the son of a witch and a robot. But, unable or unwilling to help him they send him to a St. Mabyn's Sanatorium.

On the transfer bus to the heavily guarded facility, Tommy meets kleptomaniac Lisa, The two quickly hit it off and, working together, they escape the bus and their fate.

In the present day, Paladin lays a trap for Vision by placing the kidnapped Tommy in the same prison hospital and inviting him to save his son.

Spurred on by Ultron and over confidence in his vibranium body, Vision walks into the trap taking out Paladin's mercenaries and saving Tommy.

Despite Paladin being prepared with Adamantium bullets, Vision just about escapes with his life. But the damage caused by the bullets almost leads to his death until JARVIS offers up his life to save the other A.I.s. 

With questions still needing to be answered, Tommy returns with a car to escape with Vision and his passenger Ultron.

Two billion dollars in the bank already and Spider-Man Brand New Day is already one of the biggest hits of 2026 and rightly so. Our full team are finally back to discuss all of this best moments from this years Marvel and Sony collaboration. Make sure you've watched the movie before you jump into our fully spoiler filled chat.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretin.

Written by: Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Based on characters by - Steve Ditko and Stan Lee

Four years after Dr. Strange erased Peter Parker from everyone’s memory, Peter has completely committed himself to being Spider-Man. He visits Aunt May’s grave, secretly checks in on Ned Leeds and MJ at MIT, and spends every other waking hour fighting crime across New York. When a tank goes on a rampage, Spider-Man first has to stop vigilante Frank Castle before stopping the tank. Inside, Peter finds a confused woman and something much stranger: an unseen entity that jumps from body to body inside the Department of Damage Control, eventually freeing Mac Gargan, aka The Scorpion. Yelena Bolova tells Peter this isn’t ordinary mind control. It's small potatoes but the attacks are connected to something called “V-Max.”

Stranger things get even more complicated when Ned returns to New York. Peter secretly follows him to a house-warming party, where he also sees MJ — now with another boyfriend. The sight of her sends Peter spiralling, and soon his own spider DNA begins to mutate. With help from Dr. Bruce Banner, Peter manages to create a device to suppress the changes. But when Spider-Man finally tracks the entity to The Scorpion, it possesses MJ and threatens to kill her. Peter discovers the truth: the entity is actually the mutant Jean Grey, who is searching Damage Control for V-Max. Jean takes control of the Hulk, leading to a massive fight with Spider-Man and Frank Castle. They eventually separate Jean from Hulk, but something goes horribly wrong — No Banner, No girl, only Hulk!

Peter manages to calm Hulk and capture Jean, but she mentions the name "Sarah" before passing out. With help from MJ and Yelena, Peter discovers that Sarah is Jean’s missing sister, who was experimented on by Damage Control and Director Metzger. And the mysterious V-Max? It was nothing more than words written on an air-conditioning unit in the room where Sarah died. When Jean learns the truth, her grief explodes into rage, and she takes control of a kilometre of New York and its citizens. Peter fights his way through mind-controlled Hand ninjas to reach her, then allows Jean inside his mind. There, through memories of Aunt May, Peter convinces Jean that she is loved and promises to help her.

But before he can save her, Frank Castle takes a sniper shot at Jean. Peter uses his new abilities to get Jean out of the way — and takes the bullet himself. Jean keeps him alive long enough for the doctors at Metro-General Hospital to save him. When Peter wakes up, Frank helps him escape as New York celebrates Spider-Man as a hero. Peter returns to his anonymous life, until he runs into Ned at a local bodega. This time, Peter introduces himself. He uses their old handshake, and Ned immediately knows how to complete it. For just a moment, it seems like his oldest friend might remember him after all.

Episode Synopsis:

After Cat Hardy learns that Ben Reilly is The Spider he takes her on a proper date to Millie's Diner. Ben reveals that he got his powers fifteen years earlier during the final days of World War I. 

After discovering German experiments on POWs he was liberating, he was bitten by a mutated half-spider prisoner. From that day on Ben had arachnid DNA.

Armed with an unmissable exclusive story about The Spider’s battle with the electric powered Dirk Leyden, Robbie Robertson reclaims his job at the Daily Bugle. 

He and Janet discover every metahuman had been treated by the same physician Dr. Alethea Faber before developing powers. 

While Robbie interrogates Dr. Faber and her secretary Ogden, The Spider steals medical files proving Faber tried to cure the metahumans but instead aggravated their conditions, and now they will all die if they keep using their powers. 

Meanwhile Flint Marko, now Silvermane's right-hand man, recruits Lonnie Lincoln and together they free Dirk Leyden from prison to join them. 

Now armed with his super powered muscle men, Silvermane warns Ben to keep the Spider out of his conflict with Mayor Morris. 

Worried for their lives, Ben asks Cat to leave the city with him and she agrees, but her former partner Flint Marko confronts her over hiring the fire powered Addison to kill Silvermane without telling him. 

Lincoln informs Cat that Faber believes seeing the Spider could help her find a cure, leading Cat to reveal Ben's secret to Dr Faber and Ogden.

Episode Synopsis:

Cat Hardy confirms Ben Reilly’s suspicion that she hired Addison to kill Silvermane. She reasoned that the club boss wouldn't let her live a happy life with Flint Marko after Silvermane murdered her first fiancé. 

But Flint is listening in to their discussion and, seeing them almost kiss, he feels betrayed and decides to return to work for Silvermane.

As his first job Silvermane uses Marko to intimidate Morris into backing off on his campaign ending Prohibition.

Meanwhile Robbie and Janet interview Lonnie Lincoln at the office. After careful investigation they learn the powers he, Addison and Marko have, come from experimentation on them when they were prisoners of war. He doesn't know much detail but directs them to Dr Faber who has been helping them.

Ben and Cat spend the night at his place, where he reveals that his fiance Ruby died from a criminal he caught seeking revenge. They both leave separately after hearing a metahuman is attacking the Diamond District. Both believe it's Flint Marko.

But the metahuman is a criminal with the ability to absorb and release electricity. Ben arrives in his costume as the Spider and eventually defeats him by shutting off the power in the area to prevent him from storing any more electricity. Once defeated, Mayor Morris uses The Spider's victory to boost his reelection campaign. 

Later that night, after observing the battle in the Diamond District, Cat returns to Ben's apartment and deduces that he is the Spider. She throws herself out of the window and Ben uses his powers to save her, before she kisses him.

Episode Synopsis:

Ben is hired by Silvermane to find who leaked his liquor transfer. Ben’s first port of call is to the hospital to investigate the officers injured in the sting operation. He finds out that the information came directly from Mayor Morris. 

Meanwhile Robbie Robertson goes to question Lonnie Lincoln about his connection to Flint Marko and Jimmy Addison. But their poor neighborhood is raided also under orders from Mayor Morris

In order to protect the people of the neighbourhood Flint Marko and Lonnie Lincoln use their powers against the cops. Robbie takes photos of the police attack and the powered individual. He tries to sell the story to his former editor, Howard Walters, at the Daily Bugle. He buys the story but has it rewritten to be sympathetic to the police instead of what are now dubbed “Monsters”. 

As they continue their investigation, Janet discovers Addison, Lincoln and Marko were former prisoners of war and Ben also finds out Carmedy lied about being Cat's husband to gather evidence on the Mayor and what he thought was his mistress Cat Hardy. Ben realises it must have been Cat that hired Addison to burn down Silvermane's mansion as she also set up the meeting with the Mayor. 

Flint Marko briefly considers escaping to live a new life with Cat Hardy, but abandons the idea due to his symptoms worsening further. Cat still tries to leave but Ben confronts her at Penn Station, before Winston captures them. 

But Ben was playing the long game as he worked for Silvermane. He frames Winston by using marked bills from Silvermane to pay off Vera Addison for her silence. Silvermane shoots and kills his right hand man Winston, but he cocks the gun and shoots again as the episode ends and the screen goes dark.

Written by Christopher Chen

Episode Synopsis:

Ben Reilly has a new case. He has been hired by Cat Hardy to investigate the disappearance of her bodyguard Flint Marko. Even though he suspects Cat is hiding information from him, Ben finds a photo in Flint's apartment. He discovers that Sandman Marko and Flameman Addison were former World War I soldiers in France. He also discovers that both worked as enforcers for The Big Boss Silvermane.

When pressed by Ben for the connection, Cat admits Silvermane owns the Alcove and says she has personal reasons for searching for Flint Marko unconnected to the club owner.

Ben's journalist friend Robbie Robertson follows up on his leads and interviews James Addison's widow and learns she has been spending the money Addison earned from burning down Silvermane's mansion on a luxurious lifestyle, but he gets no leads on who hired Addison for the Silvermane job.

Meanwhile, Marko's condition has worsened as his skin has remained the texture of sand. So he has chosen to hide with his friend Lonnie Lincoln, another member of his World War I squad from France.

After Silvermane's men threaten his secretary Janet, Ben chooses to become the Spider again so that he can intimidate Silvermane into leaving Ben and Janet alone.

But he later learns from Robbie that Silvermane was on his way to an alcohol shipment at the docks, where the police had planned to arrest him for his smuggling operation. So the intervention of The Spider unintentionally saved him from arrest.

Episode Synopsis:

In the 1920s, private investigator Ben Reilly once operated as the vigilante "the Spider" but retired after his fiancée, Ruby Williams, died. 

In 1933, Ben and another PI, Donegal, are hired to find criminal Jimmy Addison. When Addison reveals he can set himself on fire and threatens the PI, Donegal shoots and kills him. 

Later Ben Reilly is hired to investigate nightclub singer Cat Hardy, for infidelity by a man named Carmedy claiming to be her husband. Tracking her to the Redcliff hotel, Ben uses his webbing to discreetly stop Cat's supposed lover from assaulting her. While studying the photos he took, Ben and his secretary, Janet, discover that Cat's companion is Mayor Alfred Morris. Unsure about the reasons for the case, Ben decides to drop the case.

Another bombshell hits Reilly when he and Donegal learn that the man who hired them to investigate Addison, a man called Winston, is the right-hand man for crime boss Silvermane, whose mansion was burned down by Addison in an attempt to kill him. 

After learning the police recovered Addison's body, Donegal wants to further shakedown Silvermane for a thousand dollars for the information on Addison. Reilly advises him against it as he heads to the Alcove nightclub to try to make some money out of his photos and blackmail Cat. 

Elsewhere, knowing that Addison is dead Silvermane tortures and kills Donegal to get information on Addison for free, while Cat sends her bodyguard Flint Marko, a man able to turn his body into sand, after Ben. 

Ben decides to abandon the blackmail after learning of Marko’s condition. But the next day, Cat arrives at his office and hires him to investigate the sand man’s disappearance.

Derek, Chris and John return to watch Frank Castle find his purpose again in Punisher One Last Kill the Marvel Special Presentation. Sometimes, as Marvel fans with such a huge breath of excellent shows and movies, you have to watch something that has no real purpose. Despite a brilliant cast and some great action moments we couldn't find much positive to say about this one.

Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green

Written by Reinaldo Marcus Green with Jon Bernthal

Episode Synopsis:

Frank Castle, as the brutal vigilante known as the Punisher, kills members of the Gnucci Crime Family who are believed to be the last criminals involved in the deaths of his family. 

The Gnucci's former territory in New York City's Little Sicily neighborhood becomes overrun with crime. 

Castle lives in a Little Sicily apartment complex where he is haunted by hallucinations of people from his past. After locking up his Punisher gear, Castle goes to his family's graves to take his life but is stopped by a hallucination of his daughter Lisa.

Castle walks aimlessly through the chaotic streets, haunted by an apparition of his military friend Curtis Hoyle. 

He is cornered by crime lord Ma Gnucci, the matriarch of the Gnucci Crime Family, who seeks revenge for Castle's murder of her husband and three sons. Ma Gnucci reveals that she has placed a bounty on Castle's head, attracting every common criminal in the area. 

Returning to his apartment, he sees a vision of his friend Karen Page, who scolds Castle for his failures but also consoles him.

A small army of criminals enters the apartment complex and attacks innocent residents looking to claim the bounty on Frank Castle. 

When his apartment is set on fire, Frank escapes and ruthlessly dispatches criminals, fighting his way to the rooftop before jumping off. 

He has an opportunity to pursue Ma Gnucci, but instead decides to protect local shop owner Dre, his wife Debbie, and their daughter Charli. 

After the fighting is over, Charli gives Frank Castle a paper rose which he puts on Lisa's grave. Castle decides that he still has work to do as the Punisher.

Now fully tooled up Frank Castle once again returns to the streets with a new Punisher costume and arsenal. He stops a group of thugs from attacking innocent people and kills their leader.

Episode Synopsis:

As Karen Page's trial continues, Matt Murdock calls his first witness, Mayor Wilson Fisk. Matt presents the video testimony of the late Christofi Savva, who confirms that the Captain scuttled the ship on the orders of the Mayor because Daredevil was aboard and found the illegal weapon shipment. 

District Attorney Hochburg pushes to disregard the testimony of Christofi because he isn’t in the courtroom, so Matt reveals that he is Daredevil. He corroborates the testimony and gets the case dismissed since the entire programme from the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, to the safer streets act, to the court itself was set up to divert attention from the criminal Wilson Fisk. 

Outside the courtroom Bullseye foils Mayor Fisk’s backup plan by stopping the AVTF officers from assassinating Murdock. Instead Bullseye takes a shot at Fisk, but hits Buck Cashman. 

The attack prompts Fisk to lock down the courthouse. With his AVTF standing guard, Daredevil's supporters surround the building, encouraged by BB Urich to rise up in memory of all their friends and neighbours lost to the AVTF and Fisk’s laws so far.

As the threats from Officer Powell escalate, Cole North finally turns on him as he becomes disillusioned with his orders to kill retired detective Cherry. He lets the resistance into the courthouse as the Attorney General of New York state offers Fisk a deal to avoid charges. But, unwilling to step down, Wilson Fisk attacks and kills numerous protestors.

Eventually Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Angela DelToro fight their way through the AVTF officers until they reach Fisk. Matt eventually convinces Fisk to take the deal.

In the aftermath, Fisk leaves New York, the AVTF officers are arrested, Heather Glenn continues to spiral as she puts on Muse's mask and Jessica Jones reunites with Luke Cage, as Bullseye has replaced him in Mr. Charles's service. At the New York Bulletin BB Urich is hired by Mitchell Ellison and given a box of her uncle Ben’s reports to welcome her to the team.

As Matt Murdock and Karen Page fantasize about living a normal life together Matt is arrested and imprisoned for his actions as Daredevil.

At the funeral for Vanessa, Buck Cashman tells Daniel Blake to feed BB Urich false information to test her loyalty and encourages Heather Glenn to imitate Muse's actions to free herself from the trauma his attack has had on her. 

Meanwhile, back at their hideout Karen Page nearly murders Bullseye but is stopped by Matt Murdock. They argue, with Karen believing they have not only the right but the obligation to murder both Fisk and Bullseye because of what they have done. 

BB decides not to leak the information and almost kisses Daniel, but he confronts her about the previous leaks and reveals that he knows she’s connected to the City Without Fear broadcasts. 

Back in New York Karen Page joins a protest outside City Hall and shares the testimonies from the Red Hook prisoners onto the building urging them to Resist and Revolt. 

Matt Murdock visits Wilson Fisk at his own hideout and suggests they both leave New York to have peace, but Fisk refuses and they fight. Murdock wins but a broken Fisk asks what he will do, he can't arrest him and he WILL not kill him. 

During the protest, lead officer Powell kills young AVTF agent Saunders, who he had suspected of feeding information to Daredevil, and blames vigilantes. As gunfire rises causing chaos around City Hall, Karen Page loses her wig and is caught by the trigger happy officer Powell.

Episode Synopsis:

Years prior, while working as interns at Landman & Zack, Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson are assigned a criminal case involving one of Nelson's childhood neighbors, Lionel "Ray" McCoy.

The pair get McCoy released and Foggy “the Fembot” gives him their future fund savings so he can make a fresh start. However, McCoy narrowly avoids a young Buck Cashman, who had been hired to kill him by Fisk's fixer at the time, James Wesley. Wesley also arranges for an art gallery to serve as one of Fisk's fronts, leading him to meet Vanessa.

In the present, Daredevil helps the wounded Dex escape from the AVTF. Despite the latter's pleas to let him die, Daredevil is inspired by the memory of Foggy's selflessness and takes Bulleye to recover at the Punisher’s hideout where Karen Page is less than impressed.

After Daniel Blake leaks Vanessa's status to BB Urich, Cashman tests his loyalty by forcing him to drive them to Albany to bury Christofi's body.

Vanessa wakes up after successful surgery but seems to have suffered brain damage. Shortly after, her vitals fade and she flat lines as doctors attempt to revive her, while a devastated Fisk watches on.

Episode Synopsis:

Benjamin Poindexter starts out his day with a trip to the Bel-Air diner and samples their banana milkshake with whipped cream. While waiting he draws out Wilson Fisk’s Anti-Vigilante Task Force by pretending Frank Castle is attacking the patrons of the diner.

When they arrive Poindexter wastes no time in executing all of them with everything at his disposal from cutlery to toothpicks. Having sent his message to Mayor Fisk he returns to his apartment.

Meanwhile, in another hidden location, Karen Page films the testimony of the 19 escaped prisoners who now form part of the resistance. Jacques Duquanes takes his leave to return uptown leaving access to his considerable bank account to fund the rebels. As he leaves Christofi, the Cypriot first mate of Fisk’s sunken ship, arrives and shares everything he knows about the illegal weapons transport. Including the fact it was all signed off by Vasillas tou Enklimatos, a Greek name meaning Crime Lord. While being taken into protective custody by the US Marshalls, Buck Cashman arrives shooting and killing Christofi and his protection.

After learning of Bullseye’s attack at the Bel-Air diner, Matt suits up as a member of the AVTF and investigates the scene. He tracks a coin on the scene to his old church, Our Lady of Grace and after speaking to the seminary priest he locates Benjamin Poindexter’s apartment. They fight there but Dex escapes with a well placed can fired at a biker’s head.

In Fogwell’s Gym in Hell’s Kitchen, Mayor Wilson Fisk is readying himself for his three round boxing match against Mike ‘The Matterhorn’ Melendez. Hoping the fight will draw out Bullseye and Daredevil, Fisk sends Vanessa away to meet the Governor in Albany to keep her safe. But as soon as her business is complete she returns to her husband’s side. 

As Bullseye throws a glass statue at Fisk to kill him it is smashed and a shard embeds itself in Vanessa. But she got a shot off on Poindexter. Before Fisk can react, Daredevil has knocked Bullseye out through the window of Fogwell’s Gym to escape.

Karen shares full details of the Red Hook charter with the Governor of New York state hoping she will revoke it and after a brief interrogation of the captured AVTF agent, Matt trusts that he’s telling them the truth. The agent provides him access to the port at Red Hook and using Kristen McDuffie’s directions Daredevil finds his way inside the hidden facility.

But instead of getting Fisk’s illegal weapons, Matt chooses to free the prisoners fighting side by side with Jacques Duquesne to get everyone out. Beyond the walls Angela Del Toro, inspired by her uncle White Tiger, arrives to help the resistance.  

Angered by the attack on his facility Fisk goes ahead with his plan, setting off an explosion that kills all the workers who removed the weapons from The Northern Star.

Episode Synopsis:

To send a message to Mayor Wilson Fisk, Matt Murdock suits up as Daredevil and boards a ship on its way to the Red Hook Port. He discovers it is transporting military grade weapons to the free port. When the Captain discovers Daredevil aboard the ship he sinks the vessel.

Back in Josie’s Bar, Matt reunites with Karen to attempt to amplify the nefarious dealings of Mayor Fisk. But before they can carry through with their plan, Fisk’s team have pinned it as a terrorist attack orchestrated by the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.

Meanwhile psychologist Heather Glenn, interviews Jack Duquanes about his possible double life as the vigilante Swordsman. Her discussion provides good detail about Duquanes but not the key evidence DA Hockburg is looking for so with a little prodding Heather changes his answers to serve him up on a platter.

Concerned about the excessive powers Fisk is employing, the attorney general calls for oversight but, following a call from Contessa Allegra DeFontaine after a request from the mysterious Mr. Charles, the Attorney General offers his full support to Mayor Fisk.

 Karen continues to investigate Fisk’s nefarious goings-on and has recently teamed up with BB Urich. She shares advice from her former mentor Ben Urich to try to keep his niece alive while she’s in the vipers den.

As their investigation gets closer to locating the missing crew from the ship, it draws the attention of the brutal Anti-Vigilante Task Force who confront Matt’s investigator Cherry at his home. Daredevil is overwhelmed by the violent task force members as he gets distracted by Cherry’s stress induced heart problems. But, after the team learn his true identity they are executed by an unlikely ally. Benjamin Poindexter hits the Bullseye delivering a message to Matt Murdock. ‘You're Welcome’.

The finale has rolled around as Derek, John and Chris talk through Wonder Man Episode 8 'Yucca Valley'. A great capper on a fantastic season, with a movie premiere and a true show of friendship. Make sure you've watched the episode before joining us for our chat.

Executive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest

Directed by Stella Meghie

Written by Andrew Guest

Following the huge explosion he caused on the Wonder Man set, Simon returns to his apartment assuming that he will be caught by the Department of Damage Control. He instinctively phones his mum to tell her he loves her.

But Trevor Slattery calls him to apologise and says he has a solution: He revives his Mandarin persona and publicly claims responsibility for the explosion. No one ever saw that coming.

Agent Cleary knows that Trevor is just taking the blame for Simon, but goes along with it because the DODC needs more prisoners to justify their expensive Yucca Valley, California prison. 

Following Trevor's arrest, Director Von Kovak insists they continue filming and tells Simon to use Trevor's betrayal for the scene where Wonder Man is betrayed by Barnaby. Wonder Man is finished with Joe Pantoliano taking over the role of Barnaby and the film is a huge success. 

At the premiere, his clearly delighted brother Eric tells Simon he’s proud of him. Meanwhile, Janelle tells Simon that he now has his pick of roles for his next project. 

With his new found fame Simon decides to shadow a DODC guard, Chuck Eastman, who hates his job, under the guise of making a new film. This gives Simon access to the DODC prison under an alias, just as Agent Cleary discovers that Simon's powers use ionic energy and proposes to his boss that Simon could be an asset or a threat. 

Simon manages to slip his work shadowing Chuck and finds Trevor's cell where he uses his powers to break Trevor out of prison and fly away with him.

The full team are back to chat about Wonder Man Episode 7 "Kathy Friedman" as Simon Williams is concerned his secret will be exposed to the world by a journalist but he is not the target. As always we discuss the episode in spoiler filled detail.

Executive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest

Directed by Stella Meghie

Written by Kira Talise and Andrew Guest

Filming on the Wonder Man Movie begins. Simon Williams struggles to be personable with the crew and to communicate his thoughts on the script, but is helped by Trevor Slattery. 

At a dinner meeting with his team his agent Janelle informs the pair that The New York Times journalist Kathy Friedman is writing a profile on them, terrifying Simon who describes her as a character assassin of the highest order, who could discover and reveal his secret, just like she did with Joseph Gordon Levitt. 

He becomes paranoid after learning that Friedman talked to his ex-girlfriend Vivian, his mom, and brother Eric about him for her story. Vivian reveals to Simon that she knows he has powers, but she did not say anything about them to Friedman. 

Still concerned as they sit down for their joint interview with Kathy Friedman the next day, Simon is surprised to learn that Eric only had good things to say and he’s really proud of him. 

It wasn’t Simon who should have been concerned Kathy Friedman grills Trevor about what happened after his arrest when he returned to US soil and asks him what government deal he cut to avoid returning to prison, prompting him to walk out of the interview. 

Confronted by Simon, Trevor confesses the truth of his deal with the Department Of Damage Control to spy on Simon but promises that he will find a way to get out of it. 

Upset and overwhelmed, Simon goes to a Wonder Man soundstage and unleashes a large explosion that destroys the set.

Executive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest

Directed by Tiffany Johnson

Written by Roja Gashtili & Julia Lerman and Andrew Guest

Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery immediately drive to director Von Kovak's mansion for the callback, joining other actors in the running for Wonder Man and Barnaby.

Exhausted and lacking sleep, Simon is paranoid as the callback begins. Kovak pairs the actors with one another for chemistry tests via improvisational exercises. While Trevor impresses the group, Simon falters with his improv skills. Simon confides in Trevor that he is nervous about Von Kovak pushing him to expose himself, but Trevor encourages him that he is more than his powers.

Simon and Trevor are finally paired together, which impresses Kovak so much he casts them both in the lead roles.

After being dropped off home by Simon, Trevor is picked up by the DODC for failing to apprehend Simon, but Trevor says he's almost there and begs them to give him more time.

Simon and Trevor celebrate their call back at a bar in town, but Simon becomes anxious. Trevor guides him through a breathing exercise while he ignores calls from Agent Cleary, who is pressured to close the case soon.

The two are cornered by a drug dealer, Patrick Connor, that Trevor owes money to, forcing Simon to use his powers to incapacitate him and his henchmen.

But after Simon's use of his powers, they spot a boy who has recorded it with his GoPro, and the two give chase to retrieve the footage. In the car, they read a scene sent by Janelle where Trevor's character, sidekick Barnaby, betrays Wonder Man for a price.

They spot the bicycle courier, Jayden, and follow him into a club. He tells them that he will erase the footage if Simon uses his powers to help him get back his stolen motorbike from a man named Esteban.

Arriving at Esteban's house, Esteban tells them that Jayden is lying. Connor and his men return and hold Jayden hostage at gun point in exchange for Trevor. Trevor convinces Jayden to give him the footage so he could delete it.

With all the commotion, the police arrive and engage in a gunfight with Connor's men; Jayden escapes and reconciles with Esteban. Simon and Trevor flee and learn from Janelle that Kovak wants their call back at his home now.

In the standalone episode of Wonder Man Episode 4 "Doorman" we discuss the cautionary tale of how the Doorman clause came to Hollywood productions and how it can chew up and spit out even those that don't want fame. We chat about the episode in spoiler filled detail so make sure you've watched this one before joined us.

Executive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest

Directed by James Ponsoldt

Written by Zeke Nicholson

Simon shares his concerns with Trevor that if his abilities are revealed to the world he will lose his career because of Hollywood’s “Doorman” clause. Unaware of the history, Simon explains to Trevor who caused the change to Hollywood’s inclusion of powered individuals.

A few years ago, DeMarr Davis was a doorman for the Wilcox club in LA. Brushing shoulders with wealthy customers, musicians and actors he loved his job. But when he encountered some otherworldly goop from the Roxxon Corporation he developed special abilities. He now has the ability to teleport people and objects through solid matter.

When a fire starts in the club, threatening the lives of everyone inside, DeMarr uses his new Doorman powers to get everyone out to safety. Eternally grateful for saving his life, Hollywood actor Josh Gad gives DeMarr a job as his assistant. 

DeMarr soon gets a role on Josh’s movie “Cash Grab” using his powers in a pivotal scene. The stunt works and DeMarr Davis becomes The Doorman, the superpowered actor with his own catch phrase. 

But it’s not Ding Dong for long as the public quickly get tired of DeMarr’s schtick. On the downward spiral, a glimmer of hope comes in the form of Josh offering him a role in “Cash Grab 2”. But when they try to create a new super powered sequence for the sequel it all goes horribly wrong. As one cash bag after another is safely transferred through Demarr it's time for Josh Gad’s character to also make his escape. But J-Gad goes in and J-Gad doesn't come out, disappearing, never to return.

Hollywood was shocked and created a clause on all productions that would stop people with powers acting in any production ever again.

Derek and John are chatting about Wonder Man Episode 3 "Pacoima" as Trevor goes to meet Simon's family. We want to hear your feedback as the season goes on make sure you share it at the address below.

Executive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest

Directed by James Ponsoldt

Written by Madeline Walter and Paul Welsh

While Simon Williams is still waiting for an answer for his Wonder Man audition, the Department of Damage Control are concerned their funding will be cut. Their mission is to protect the US from super powered threats but their purpose built prison remains half empty and pressure is coming down from Congress to reduce the DODC’s budget.

Agent Cleary has information on two incidents that might include Simon Williams. An explosion at his home as a child and a porta-potty explosion on the set of The Rookie while Simon was there. In order to connect these, Agent Cleary threatens Trevor Slattery to interrogate Simon’s family and friends at his mum’s birthday party.

At the event Trevor learns a new kitchen has been installed with an island. The very thing Simon's mum has always wanted. But Trevor learns very little about Simon except that he’s always been alone and he’s always been lonely. His family, friends and neighbours don’t understand his acting career and believe he’s lazy and overly dependent on his family.

After everyone leaves the party, Simon’s brother Eric pushes Simon to admit he got fired from American Horror Story and give up on his acting dreams. The stress sends Simon over the edge and his powers explode out of him destroying his mother’s newly treasured kitchen island.

Later Simon apologises to Trevor for his explosive powers that have never been witnessed before by anyone outside of the family, but empathetic to Simon’s loneliness, Trevor chooses to destroy the taped evidence from his wire instead of delivering it to Damage Control.

Meanwhile Simon’s agent, Janelle, calls to inform him that both actors have callbacks for roles in Wonder Man, but Simon is concerned his whole career would be over if anyone finds out about his powers because all Hollywood productions ban powered actors following the case of Demarr “Doorman” Davis.

Episode Synopsis:

A short while ago after flying back to LA to reignite his acting career, Trevor Slattery was instantly arrested by the Department of Damage control for his role as The Mandarin. Agent Cleary offers Trevor a way out of his return to prison if he brings evidence of the dangerous powers of Simon Williams.

Meanwhile following his audition for Von Kovak’s Wonder Man, his agent Jannelle calls him. The casting director for the movie wants to give him a shot in a smaller indie movie. It’s a bit part where he’ll play a waiter. All that’s needed is a quick self tape of his lines and he’s got the cameo.

This will be great for his career, but the pressure gets to Simon and his powers rise, exploding out like an earthquake inside his apartment. Unable to use his apartment for the self tape, Simon reaches out to Trevor for help.

After several more failed attempts Trevor brings him to his former co-star, Joe Pantaliano’s house as a favour. When Simon and Trevor clash with Joey Pants over his lack of respect for the art of acting they leave.

With a new respect between the two, Simon invites Trevor to his apartment, where they finally record the perfect self tape and submit it to his agent.

As Simon celebrates the successful submission Trevor finds the damage from his super powers but pretends it doesn’t phase him.

Trevor is auditioning for a role in the reboot of Simon's favourite character Wonder Man. He feels the role is his destiny and with Trevor's help to trust the words and not overthink it, Simon delivers an excellent audition for the lead role.

Trevor brings Simon for a drink to celebrate this small win but after he leaves, the former Terrorist gets a phone call asking if Simon suspects anything, he's very dangerous and needs to be brought in.

Spoiler Filled Synopsis: The Nova Corps shoots down the ship, but the group is rescued by the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, who reveal that Bruce Banner willingly absorbed the Infinity Stones' energy after their destruction and has transformed into "Infinity Hulk" to prevent it from destroying Earth. 

But having amassed enough zombies to defeat Hulk, Wanda arrives to take the stones' energy for herself. Hulk fights off the zombies, Zombie Abomination, the giant-sized zombies, and the Asgardian Zombies before the group arrives to defend him, but they are soon overpowered. 

With the arrival of a zombified Thor, he soon kills Blade, Sara, and the London Master as the overwhelming hordes also kill Shang-Chi, Katy, Valkyrie, Rintrah, Parker, and Lang. 

Hulk unleashes a powerful blast to kill Thor, but it leaves him vulnerable and allows Wanda to take the stones' energy. Despite her initial refusal, Kamala is persuaded by Wanda to help her remake the world. 

After a blinding explosion, Kamala wakes up and reunites with Riri and Kate, with everything seeming to have gone back to normal. However, reality flickers, and Kamala sees the real Riri fighting zombies, who tells Kamala she has hacked the system and that what she is seeing is not real, leaving Kamala shocked.

Spoiler Filled Synopsis: After the end of What If episode 5, Peter Parker, Scott Lang's head, and T'Challa arrive in Wakanda only to see that the country has been conquered by a zombified Thanos. They fight Thanos alongside Thor, Rocket, and Groot, but Thanos kills Rocket and Groot, gravely injures Thor, and attempts to snap the Infinity Gauntlet. T'Challa sacrifices himself to push Thanos into Wakanda's vibranium core and destroys the Infinity Stones while Parker and Lang are saved by the remaining sorcerers of Kamar-Taj: Rintrah, Sara, and the London Master. 

In the present, Kamala's group reaches New Asgard, with Khonshu convincing Valkyrie to let them inside. The Asgardians have been feasting on food provided by Wanda herself, who explains that she has regained control and is actually after Kamala's powers to use them to "heal" the world. 

But the food is revealed to be zombie remains that infect the Asgardians and Alexei, who also had a nibble. In the fight to escape the Asgardian zombie horde, the zombies kill Zemo, Death Dealer, and Jimmy Woo while Thor fights Wanda to buy time for the group to escape in an Asgardian ship into space. 

Kamala activates the transmitter, but the already-stationed Nova Corps reveals that Earth has been quarantined and orders the group to turn back or be incinerated.

When Shang-Chi is bitten, Wenwu bestows the mystical ten rings to Shang-Chi to contain the infection and sacrifices himself to give time for Death Dealer to help the group escape. 

In the present, after fighting off Skrull bandits, Shang-Chi's group arrives at Helmut Zemo's sanctuary, the Raft, where they meet Kamala's group. Both groups agree to work together and Blade reveals that the spaceship to get the SOS transmission broadcast from Earth's orbit is located in New Asgard. 

Along the way, Zemo attempts to sacrifice Kamala's group to the infected Talokanil for safe passage. Instead, a zombified Namor leads his people to attack the Raft while Zemo and John Walker attempt to flee in an escape pod. Namor kills Walker, Rick, Denise, and Sandra before Kamala kills him with the group's help. 

When the Raft begins to sink, Yelena sacrifices herself and stays behind to manually override the launch of the last remaining escape pods. The group successfully escapes and travel to New Asgard, while Yelena toasts her fallen allies before the zombies break in and devour her brains.

John and Derek are back with The Eyes of Wakanda Episode 4 "The Last Panther". Another great Marvel series from executive producer Ryan Coogler comes to an end with an episode that wraps up the past and present and sets the future of Wakanda in motion in the series finale.

Executive Producer: Ryan Coogler

Series helmed by: Todd Harris

Episode Written by: Geoffrey Thorne

Episode Directed by: Todd Harris

Spoiler Filled Synopsis: In Ethiopia, in the middle of a raging battle between the Ethiopians and the invading Italian army, Prince Tafari and the War Dog Kuda recover the Wakandan axe made from Vibranium that was lost to the sea when Noni battled The Lion.

On the return to Wakanda with the artifact, an unknown high-tech entity phases in front of the vehicle driven by Kuda. While initially perceived as a threat they discover the entity is in fact a future Wakandan Queen who has teleported to their time to save Wakanda and the earth from an invading alien army called The Horde.

The Queen informs them that the dire situation confronting her time is because Wakanda never integrated into the wider world and so The Horde picked off humankind followed by Wakanda. This resulted from a hinge point created by Killmonger who, ultimately through his intervention to secure and lose the Wakandan throne, convinced the true heir, King T’Challa, to engage with the outside world.

Armed with this information and convinced she is telling the truth, Prince Tafari and Kuda head back to the City of Adwa to return the axe and so set up the chain of events leading to its theft (or repatriation) by Killmonger from the British Museum.

In explaining their actions to the Wakandan Council, Prince Tafari’s only regret is that he wishes he could have seen the future that he and Kuda fought for!

• Kuda - STEVE TOUSSAINT
• The Intruder / Black Panther - ΑΝΙΚΑ ΝΟΝI ROSE

Derek and John are back for another tale of the War Dogs with Eyes of Wakanda Episode 3 "Lost and Found" and look who is in the snowy mountains of China. We chat all about it in our spoiler filled discussion of the episode.

Executive Producer: Ryan Coogler

Series helmed by: Todd Harris

Episode Written by: Marc Bernardin

Episode Directed by: John Fang & Todd Harris

Spoiler Filled Synopsis: In Kun’Lun, China, 1400, Agent Basha infiltrates this high mountain society to recover a Wakandan artifact lost for over a thousand years. Pretending to be a lost traveller he is taken in and cared for by a woman called Jorrani. During his recovery he is drawn into the community by Jorrani and they develop feelings for one another. At the city's Dragon shrine Basha and Jorrani take time to offer meditation at the city’s sacred Dragon statue where he spots the artifact as the tongue of the dragon.

But after several weeks, Basha, now back to full health, attempts to quietly recover the artifact but he can not remove it from the statue and has to take the entire head. He manages to escape Kun’Lun in his hidden flying craft despite being caught stealing the sacred object.

Back in Wakanda, he is greeted by Captain Evo, head of artifact security, who is concerned that the intel for this mission was off. But Basha arrogantly flaunts how easy the mission was and how primitive he saw the people of Kun’Lun. But as Basha and Ebo replace the artifact they suddenly realise that he has brought back an unexpected visitor from Kun’Lun who has infiltrated Wakanda.

Basha finally catches up with the masked infiltrator who has made their way to the artifact collection to return the sacred Dragon to Kun’Lun. As they fight it is revealed to be Jorrani who is none other than Kun’Lun’s protector - the Iron Fist.

Deploying her powerful glowing fist, Jorrani manages to finally get Basha’s attention where he learns that the people of Kun’Lun had not knowingly stolen the Wakandan treasure and that in fact over the last 1000 years the Dragon and the artifact has become a more important and sacred symbol to her city and society than it ever was to Wakanda.

Knowing this Basha and Ebo concoct a story to hide Jorrani’s presence in Wakanda and in turn Jorrani plucks the tongue from the statue's head saying if Basha had only asked she would have helped.

The Iron Fist returns to Kun’Lun with the Dragon head and Basha learns humility.

The history of the war dogs takes us to Troy in Eyes of Wakanda Episode 2 "Legends and Lies". This episode gave us a very interesting take on Achilles and Odysseus as a Wakandan spy infiltrates their ranks to reach Helen and Paris.

Executive Producer: Ryan Coogler

Series helmed by: Todd Harris

Episode Written by: Marc Bernardin

Episode Directed by: John Fang

Spoiler Filled Synopsis: In 1190 B.C., the famous attack on the heavily fortified City of Troy by Odysseus is taking place. Each attack is repulsed by the Trojan forces, even those led by the legendary Achilles and his band of Myrmidons.

After another failed attempt to storm Troy, Achilles and his trusted friend and right hand man Memnon collect their thoughts around the campfire. Despite the deep brotherhood between Achilles and Memnon, Ferris, another member of the Myrmidons, is suspicious of Memnon who is an outsider.

Despite Achilles' trust in Memnon, little does he know that Memnon is a War Dog from Wakanda. He is at the siege of Troy to recover a Wakandan pendant from around the neck of Helen of Troy.

As the Myrmidons, led by Achilles, attempt another attack on Troy this time using Odysseus’ Trojan Horse tactic. They successfully infiltrate the city and let the rest of the Greek army in to attack. But the alarm is raised and in the ensuing battle Achilles sees Memnon peel away towards the palace as he is surrounded by the Trojan forces and left for dead.

Memnon recovers the purple amulet but is seen by Achilles who escaped the Trojans. Achilles believes he's been betrayed and that Memnon is in fact a Trojan spy. They fight one another and following blow after blow between the two Memnon cuts his friend’s heel. Despite slowing Achilles down, Memnon cannot convince his friend to stand down and as the fight rages Achilles is killed by Memnon who places the coins on his friends eyes for the ferryman.

Six months later, back in Wakanda, B’Kai (aka Memnon) tells the leader of the War Dogs, Noni, that the mission to Troy has left its mark and he feels like a stranger in his own home as he remembers his deceased friend, Achilles.

With one of our team lost in another realm, John and Derek return to discuss Ironheart Episode 4 "Bad Magic" in our spoiler-filled podcast. We may have gushed a little too much about the MCU arrival of one of our favourite Marvel witches but we make no apologies.

Directed by Angela Barnes

Written by Amir Sulaiman

Episode Synopsis:

Knowing that Parker Robbins, aka The Hood is on her trail, Riri analyzes the piece of The Hood’s cloak she recovered, which she discovers is an ancient energy source that Parker draws upon. 

Meanwhile Eziekiel Stane (aka Joe McGillacuddy) has been arrested for the crew's heist after being implicated by the biomesh left behind by Riri, and he is very resentful towards her when she visits him in detention. 

With things stacking up Ronnie, Riri’s mum, gets increasingly worried about her daughter and wants to help, bringing her to her friend Madeline Stanton, a former Kamar-Taj trainee, and her daughter Zelma. 

The Stantons help examine the fragment of the hood and detect that it is from a dark dimension that is likely influencing Robbins, before abruptly ushering Riri and Ronnie out of the shop. Ronnie shares her frustrations about her daughter never opening up to her, but Riri leaves in her iron suit after pushing back against her mother’s assertion. 

Frustrated in her lack of findings with the cloak fragment, Riri meets up with Xavier, who tries to support her but is later horrified by N.A.T.A.L.I.E. emulating his late sister's image. N.A.T.A.L.I.E. leaves when Riri contemplates Xavier's demand to delete it. 

Elsewhere, The Hood breaks Eziekiel out of jail to recruit him as Riri's replacement, and Slug assists his efforts to implant bionic enhancements in his body, while secretly giving Parker access and control over the bionic enhancements.

With everything now in place, Parker sends the crew on an extra mission this time to kill Riri, telling them she killed Cousin John.

Directed by Samantha Bailey

Written by Francesca Gailes & Jacqueline J. Gailes

Episode Synopsis:

While celebrating their successful operation against TNNL at Parker's headquarters, Clown plays around with Parker's mysterious hood. But before Riri and Clown can investigate more, his right hand man John angrily confronts them.

Parker calms the team down and starts planning for their next heist on a secure facility known as Heirlum. This time they're having difficulty with blackmail leads and John tries to call the whole thing off, but The Hood pushes them onwards.

Riri wants to investigate the properties of the Hood, especially after being told it's magic, but she has more than enough problems dealing with Joe and her new AI.

Joe McGillicuddy has plans that he insists she looks over, while at his house Riri learns he has a bigger secret than she thought. Joe is actually Ezekiel Stane, the son of Tech genius Obidiah Stane, who died trying to kill Tony Stark. But he entrusts Riri with some of his experimental bio-mesh skin on the provision that it doesn't get traced back to him.

Riri uses the bio-mesh skin to help get some cloaked Tech inside Heirlum for their next job. She wants to get a sample of The Hood while Parker is busy with the heist.

But things go awry and Riri triggers the alarm system. As they all escape, John learns of Riri’s attempted betrayal and confronts her, promising to demote her with his trusted knife. But Natalie manages to get through the security systems of Heirlum to save Riri with the Iron suit. As she does, John remains trapped in the secure greenhouse and suffocates from the biosecurity measures.

Inconsolable at the death of John, Parker screams for The Hood to show its true self, but instead it shows him the death of John and an image of Riri’s Iron costume.

Safely home Riri realises things were worse than she thought as she left Ezekiel Stane’s bio-mesh skin behind her, implicating him in the unsuccessful heist.
