SECRET INVASION

S1E5 — Harvest

SPOILERS!

Opens in a hospital hallway; the president is wheeled into ER, and Fury tries to get to the president’s subconscious and tells him to not trust Rhodey. Fury takes up sentry outside the double doors.

Gravik gets back to base, and KO’s a would-be rebel for daring to speak up against him.

Back at the hospital, not-Rhodey gets accosted by Fury, and makes it clear to the ex-Director of Shield that there’s little to be done, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not-Rhodey’s con-men aim their guns at Fury as he heads toward the ER doors.

The title credits roll.

Place card, London. Sonya shoots a Skrull in his office demanding information.

Back at New Skrullos. Some mutineers get a jump on Gravik, quite literally, but he’s stronger than them and defeats them. Gravik is enraged and kills Beto in front of base camp; they’re horrified.

Fury speaks with G’iah, and she reveals that Gravik has this thing called The Harvest. Fury says he’s going to Finland. But why Finland? He does not elaborate.

Sonya interrogates a couple. The woman and her husband are both brought out; he momentarily takes her hostage, Sonya mocks him and sends a bullet through his head.

G’iah takes a moment with her father Talos, and heads to Priscilla’s place. G’iah breaks in easy.

Not-Rhodey tells the president about Gravik’s plans.

Gravik calls Fury, who gets on a plane.

G’iah and Priscilla set fire to Talos’ funeral pyre for a final goodbye, and reflect.

Priscilla talks of facing down those who want her dead; speaking of the devil, they come blasting down her door, guns ablaze. The unexpectedness of it is really something. There is a shootout; several henchmen meet their deaths.

At the immigration desk in Finland, the woman has a wanted notice for Nick Fury taped near her desktop.

Fury is disguised as a man named “Kerhonen”, and when safe, he takes off the identity mask we more or less saw last in CATWS. The photostatic veil, they called it. Also known as the “Widow’s Veil”. He meets with Sonya in her car, and she drives them off.

Place card, “294 KM from the Russian border”. Fury and Sonya discuss Gravik’s plans. The “Harvest”, Fury says, is as follows: “Nearly every Avenger spilled blood in the Battle of Earth. Even Carol Danvers. In the aftermath, some were went in to collect that DNA. Some with the ability to blend in. Nobody knew about them but me and the collectors, led by…” Gravik, says Sonya. Fury agrees: “Which is probably where he got the idea for the Super Skrull machine.”

Fury and Sonya arrive at an old cemetery with Fury’s name on it. Which is interesting, considering that he’s got another one somewhere else; last we saw that one, was at the end of CATWS. Here, Fury’s headstone reads: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Sonya looks at the headstone and asks whether he has others. Fury confirms that yes, he’s “got these all over the place, you know? Dead men need options.” Which is true. Nobody’s been able to get their hands on him yet. Fury says that he chose Finland because he and Priscilla used to honeymoon there. Weird place to have a gravesite, but if it’s far enough away for anyone to not ask any questions, then it has done its job.

Fury goes into a mausoleum to get ready. He’s got his jacket, gun, and eyepatch in three different caches. He walks out, saying, “It’s time, let’s finish this.” Feels like a semi-fourth-wall break, because next episode is literally the last episode. The title music plays at his exit.

Thoughts: Also another dark episode full of people operating in the morally grey area. The little callbacks to past MCU projects, like CATWS, for instance. Interesting episode all round.
