WARNING: The following contains Secret Invasion Episode 5 SPOILERS, proceed with caution!
In Secret Invasion Episode 5, Nick Fury managed to get President Ritson to safety. However, he is immediately kicked out of the hospital by James "Rhodey" Rhodes, who reveals that the video of Gravik pretending to be Fury shooting Maria Hill will be released to global media. Meanwhile, the Skrulls are beginning to question Gravik but he quickly deals with those who are against him, killing Pagon and Beto in the process.
Gravik also has another devious plan as he tells the Skrull pretending to be Rhodey to tell Ritson that the attack was by Russians with the help of Skrulls. It's a risky move but one that the villain is willing to make just to get leverage on Fury.
But why does Gravik need leverage? As Fury meets with G'iah, she reveals that Gravik only has a few DNA samples that he stole because he couldn't find something called the Harvest. It's a name that Fury is familiar with and as he reunites with the always entertaining Sonya Falsworth, we learn that the Harvest is actually a collection of the Avengers' DNA.
Gravik makes a deal with Fury to stand down as long as the latter gives him the Harvest. Fury agrees, retrieving the Harvest but he also stops to make a last-minute phone call to a mysterious individual, telling them it's time to "finish this."
Who did Nick Fury call? There are a lot of theories ranging from his old friend Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel to Agents of SHIELD character Daisy Johnson. We're not sure either but we're eager to find out who this game-changer is going to be next week.
Secret Invasion Episode 5 also featured the unexpected return of Black Widow star O-T Fagbenie as Rick Mason, Natasha Romanoff's friend who helps her procure specific items. It's a welcome comeback and also an intriguing one considering that Rick seems to be everyone's go-to concierge of sorts.
