The ATCU release information about Lincoln Campbell to the public, enlisting other intelligence agencies to help capture him. Coulson admits to Daisy that Mack planted a tracker on Lincoln the last time they met, and she calls him to try to convince him to let SHIELD help him, but he hangs up and destroys the tracker. Coulson parlays with Price and tries to convince her that panicking the public is not a good idea, and to let SHIELD take Lincoln in rather than the ATCU. She threatens to release footage of Daisy from the hospital CCTV, so Coulson agrees to let the ATCU take Lincoln if they let Daisy go. Meanwhile, Lincoln seeks refuge with his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor, John Donnelly, but after seeing a news report about Lincoln, a terrified John calls the ATCU and threatens Lincoln with a metal baseball bat. When Lincoln disarms John with his powers, he accidentally triggers a heart attack that kills John.
