PLOT:[]
After the church Santa Maria de las Flores in Miami, Florida, was burnt down, the only remaining intact object, a 500-year-old painting, is discovered to have strange markings engraved on its back. The "Miracle Painting" is later set to be unveiled at a fundraising event for the church, which S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Phil Coulson and Agent Melinda May infiltrate with the help of Agents Lance Hunter, Skye, and Mack. While undercover in the event, Coulson attempts to start a discussion with May about a contingency plan in case Coulson loses his mind after previously being injected with an alien substance, though May avoids the topic. When they realize that Brigadier General Glenn Talbot is also at the event, Coulson attempts to negotiate with him before their cover is blown. Though Talbot seems to be willing to cooperate, Coulson decides to speed up the mission, going after the painting immediately.XXXXXAfter finding that Talbot had already confiscated the painting, Coulson agrees to meet with him after debriefing his team. Meanwhile, May follows Talbot, who is actually Hydra agent Sunil Bakshi using S.H.I.E.L.D. technology to take on Talbot's voice and appearance. May is attacked by Agent 33, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent brainwashed into Hydra's service, who knocks May unconscious and uses the same S.H.I.E.L.D. device to take on her voice and appearance. Agent 33 goes to the Bus, a S.H.I.E.L.D. plane being used as a mobile command center, where she secretly plants a computer virus before taking Coulson, who believes her to be May. After a conversation with Agent 33, including a discussion about the contingency plan, in which May would become Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Coulson deduces that she is not actually May, turning on her, and drawing the attention of Bakshi, who was ready to torture May to gain S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets.XXXXXBakshi flees with the painting, with Coulson in pursuit, while May grapples with Agent 33. On the Bus, the virus starts destroying the plane's electrical systems, and it takes the mentally and socially impaired Agent Leo Fitz, along with Hunter, to stop it. Coulson knocks Bakshi unconscious and takes the painting while May defeats Agent 33. Afterwards, May reveals her own contingency plan – to take Coulson into the Australian Outback to hide away from civilization, though he orders her to follow through with his plan instead.XXXXXIn an end tag, Raina, en route to investigate the painting, is confronted by Daniel Whitehall, who gives her 48 hours to return the Obelisk to him or be killed.
