Mace, in this universe, is a true hero.
When Simmons tries telling him that his world is fake and meaningless, Mace refuses to accept it.
Except he did, and the woman he killed was real.
The line is blurring, even for a rationalist like Simmons.
Despite his commitment to brutality, Fitz has been unable to successfully interrogate Daisy.
So AIDA tries her hand at interrogating Daisy.
She notes, once again, that all she did was fix everyones biggest regret.
Naturally, shes done this by taking choice away from everyone else.
Its a classic fascist formula.
His motivations come into focus when his dad shows up as another Hydra scientist.
Trip got some important information about Hydras top-secret project, but unfortunately got busted.
While freeing him, Coulson sees some of his former students being herded into a quarantine building.
Trip and Coulson start freeing the kids as Mace takes on a juiced-up May.
When May enters the collapsing building to confirm Maces death, she finds him and the other S.H.I.E.L.D.
agents struggling to save kids.
Thankfully, Maces sacrifice was not in vain.
Its go time now.
