SHIELD Academy scientist cadets Seth Dormer and Callie Hannigan go swimming in the pool late at night, only for the surface to freeze; Dormer is almost frozen but is rescued by another student, Donnie Gill. Fitz and Simmons are contacted by Principal Anne Weaver to consult in the investigation, accompanied by Skye and Ward.

Meanwhile, Coulson and May travel to Mexico to find Richard Lumley, Linda Avery's ex-partner who went off the grid after she was murdered. Lumley reveals that he, Avery and other agents went to China in search of an 084, which turned out to be an infant girl (Skye); the other agents and an entire village died to protect her. Avery hid the child within the foster system, installing a SHIELD protocol to ensure that she be moved from one home to another to protect her.
