Synopsis for "The End of A.I.M.!"

A pair of A.I.M. agents, fleeing the fight with Fury, are picked up on the road by "Number Nine" of "The Secret Empire"-- which turns out to be another branch of "THEM"! But as they drive off, the A.I.M. men are gassed unconscious, as "Number Nine" turns out to be the long-missing Gabe Jones, working undercover! Fury clues in the V.I.P.s as to the situation, while Jasper trails Royale to A.I.M.'s mountain-side hidden base-- just before the entire place is destroyed in a colossal explosion! Dugan comments on how they preferred blowing themselves up because they were discovered, while Fury feels "someone bigger" finished them off when their usefulness ended. When they're almost killed by a mysterious energy ray, Fury realizes "THEM" and HYDRA are one and the same, and it's up to S.H.I.E.L.D. to find them, before they strike first.

Synopsis for "If Kaluu Should Triumph..."

Fighting off Kaluu's initial attack, Doctor Strange attempts to fight back but Kaluu has erected a mystical barrier around his Sanctum Sanctorum to keep the Ancient One and Strange trapped. Outside in the streets, Kaluu unleashes his mystical might on the barrier, attracting attention of the police.

Inside Strange and the Ancient One must battle against creatures conjured up by the Kaluu, after much battle Strange manages to defeat the creatures with the Eye of Agamotto. Outside the police try to stop Kaluu who immobilizes them with a spell then unleashes a powerful attack on the Sanctum, intending it to kill Strange and the Ancient One. However, upon entering the Sanctum, Kaluu is infuriated to find that Strange and the Ancient One had somehow managed to escape.

Notes

Pop Culture and Historical Notes[]

  • After a handful of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are busting Dugan's chops for his steely disposition he remarks that if he wanted comedy he'd watch The Three Stooges. The Three Stooges were a comedy act that performed slapstick performances and other silly quipping routines.
  • Fury remarks that he'll have to make like Chet Huntley and David Brinkley and report the news to the brass in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. This is a reference to The Huntley–Brinkley Report where the two were co-anchors that fed daily news stories to the American people.
  • Some S.H.I.E.L.D. radio operators describe Fury as looking as relaxed as Rip Van Winkle, this is a reference to a short story about a character with the same name who drinks some powerful alcohol that has him sleep for twenty years. The radio operators are simply stating that Fury looks calm and collected despite the danger posed.
  • Fury references the comedian Soupy Sales, who was a kid's entertainer that routinely ended his act with taking a pie to the face. Fury states that, he "has more important things to do than play Soupy Sales fer a buncha stuffed shirts", in this instance Soupy Sales is used to mean that Fury refuses to act like their clown or entertainer.
