Hydra fails to learn the location of the Braino-Saur despite their Image-Inducer. Stark tells SHIELD's directors it was designed to disarm Hydra's Betratron Bomb orbiting above Earth. Agent G helps Fury escape but he refuses to promise not to harm her father, the Supreme Hydra. Dum Dum, Gabe and a SHIELD squad use the captured Hydra saucer to locate their HQ.
