S4:E18 - Jess and Jared recap and discuss “No Regrets."
Jess starts this one by calling out the episode's author as both "wonderful" and an "emotional terrorist," which Jared feels sounds about right.
Mace & Coulson infiltrate the Hydra conversion camps. Meanwhile, Framework Fitz tells Daisy he knows about "her world," but AIDA/Ophelia has misled him, portraying them as invaders from another reality/dimension, not the world of their real lives/selves. May's Framework change, while supposedly leaving her with no regrets, has also led to her having nothing to lose. The episode leads Jess to pose the question, how connected are Framework and IRL AIDA, exactly? Jemma resists with the A.I. sentience of the "Non-Player Characters" of the Framework, though it's challenged by Framework Mace and Ward. Mace & Coulson sort of switched roles in the Framework. AIDA tries to bribe Daisy with Lincoln's resurrection, revealing the entire schtick of the Framework as "one changed regret," for everyone, but she doesn't but it. While in Hydra's custody Daisy gets her spy on and talks to Radcliffe through the vents and learns about a secret backdoor beyond AIDA's reach/control, and they formulate an escape plan from the Framework. Mace & Coulson's mission brings us back to Trip, or at least a very emotional reunion for us as viewers with his Framework equivalent, and Coulson is compelled to save his former students from his Framework life as a teacher from Hydra's programming. Hydra bombards the building with the missiles opens May's eyes, both to their cruelty to the children in the camps, their disregard for collateral damage, and the heroism of Mace, Coulson, and Triplett. Seeing Mace die to save them, crushed under rubble from the building, turns May to the resistance, and the episode ends with her sneaking a Terrigen crystal to Daisy to spark her Inhuman powers...Ooooooo!
Also, we talk a little about how we like people in Florida, but not Florida so much. And we talk a little about dealing with depression during the COVID-19 crisis, and not beating yourself up so much, or comparing struggles/tragedy right now. And, the Playground...the Bus...are the S.H.I.E.L.D. creators obsessed with grade school?
