Coulson, May, Daisy, Simmons, Mack, and Yo-Yo are taken by an unknown group while Fitz is left behind. The leader of the group that takes them says that Fitz isn't "on the list". When the group awakens they are in the presence of a rock that melts, the result of which creates a monolith through which they are transported onto a space station.
