In this episode, we finally found out what that was.
A sniper suddenly emerges and opens fire.
Meanwhile, Daisy shoots herself up onto the roof and grabs the sniper.

Meanwhile, Daisy shoots herself up onto the roof and grabs the sniper.
headquarters, scientists are still investigating the aftermath of the AIDA incident.
With both Coulson and Mace gone, Talbot has taken up temporary leadership of the base.
Fitz is at Radcliffes house commiserating about the assassination attempt on Mace.
This poses a problem for the dark doctor, as he tells his new AIDA after Fitz leaves.
Daisys interrogating the prisoner.
Hes not telling her anything.
May comes and whispers with Daisy about their game plan.
Now theyre getting somewhere.
Burrows is, in fact, on the Quinjet, and hes a little more chipper than his comrades.
Unfortunately, the attempts not over.
The pilot loses control of the plane and the whole thing crashes into a forest.
Mace immediately wants to head out and look for Burrows.
Radcliffe and AIDA check in on the real May, who is alive but not doing so well.
Shes strapped into a whole bunch of gadgets.
Theyre supposed to be keeping her calm and sedated, but its not exactly working.
She keeps twitching and sweating and her vital signs are off.
NEXT: Project Patriot
Talbot assembles the agents on hand to discuss the plane crash.
Mace and Co. are certainly looking for Burrows location.
Mace insists theyre just looking for a body, but Coulson and Mack suspect something fishy.
They soon catch a glimpse of their enemy as a truck outfitted with Hydra technology wheels by.
Coulson and Talbot wiped out the last of Hydras infrastructure, but that just sent the rats scurrying.
Fitz is still despondent about her betrayal and death and thinks the program still had good potential.
Simmons insists it was obviously a mistake Nathansons death is proof of that.
She tells Fitz to let AIDA go.
May actually wakes up in her prison and starts ripping off equipment.
She manages to kick Radcliffe a few times but is ultimately stopped and again sedated by AIDA.
Maybe this is a sign of greater fissures in this relationship, too.
Daisy wonders if she missed any important interpersonal developments while she was gone, but LMD May remains coy.
Before they reveal the details, though, we get to see them firsthand.
Coulson and Mack come to the rescue, but the cats out of the bag.
Mace is not an Inhuman and, in fact, never had natural super-strength at all.
The now powerless director heads for a nearby cabin with Coulson and Mace to plot their next move.
Their advantage is that while Mace doesnt actually have his super-strength, their enemies still think he does.
Mace, meanwhile, implements his plan of distraction.
They barricade themselves inside the cabin, but luckily the cavalry is there to help.
Human May needs her own enemy to fight, Radcliffe has discerned.
They need a much harsher simulation for her.
Radcliffe isnt the only one working with AIDA anymore, however; back at S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson confronts Talbot about the Mace secret.
It would be awesome to see them do more of that.)
He offers to resign and reinstate Coulson as director, but Phil has another solution.
Mace is a good face for S.H.I.E.L.D., so hell continue in that role.
Now things are really kicking into gear.
This seems like a tantalizing new direction.
It was good to see some developments with FitzSimmons, though.
