"Parting Shot" originally aired on ABC on March 22, 2016, and according to Nielsen Media Research, was watched by 2.88 million viewers.
Imprisoned at an Interpol facility, Morse and Hunter are interrogated by Duval, who wants them to admit that they are SHIELD agents, so Russia can blame them for the deaths of three government officials and declare war on the US in revenge. Flashbacks to the previous day depict the events which led to the agents' imprisonment. Following the events of "The Inside Man", Malick's plane lands in Siberia, and Morse and Hunter pursue him and Petrov to an abandoned facility they intend to repurpose into the Inhuman sanctuary, which has been banned by the Russian Prime Minister, Dmitry Olshenko. May, Daisy and Mack join Hunter and Morse, and the five of them infiltrate the facility, discovering the dead body of Olshenko's personal attaché. Cabinet ministers opposed to Olshenko arrive to meet with Malick and Petrov, who reveal that the attaché was murdered by General Androvich, the Minister of Defence, revealed to be an Inhuman who can manifest and control living shadows made of Darkforce. Malick suggests they have Androvich assassinate Olshenko, who soon arrives looking for his missing attaché. Malick departs, leaving Androvich to make his assassination attempt, but the SHIELD team causes a distraction, and Hunter rescues Olshenko and kills Petrov. Androvich unleashes a Darkforce shadow, which subdues Daisy and Mack before attacking Olshenko and Hunter, but it dissipates when Morse kills Androvich, after which she and Hunter are arrested by Olshenko's bodyguards while the other agents escape.
