Noelle Mabry, Frank Moran and Ralph Lammie Jr. attend a casting session where they view a recording of Clark Gregg inviting them to join the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Academy.
Noelle Mabry is brought into an indoor pool where Elizabeth Henstridge appears on a monitor. Henstridge presents her with a situation inspired by the events of "Beginning of the End". A Leo Fitz lookalike is tied and locked underwater, and to rescue him she must solve three math-related challenges. Once completed, she receives the code which is "8-0-4", dives in and tries to unlock the lock. The code turns out to be incorrect. Brett Dalton takes over the transmission and tells her he has changed the order of the digits and that only a real Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. fan would know the correct order. Mabry successfully guesses the order to be "0-8-4" and saves "Fitz". Henstridge then offers her a part as an agent on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Frank Moran is driven to an airport where Ming-Na Wen and Henry Simmons appear on a monitor. Wen and Simmons present Moran with his challenge which is inspired by Phil Coulson's dive from the quinjet into the portal in "Closure". Moran must skydive and land on a designated S.H.I.E.L.D. landing spot. Before he can jump, Brett Dalton appears on a monitor and tells him that he first must answer three Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D questions; each mistake causes the landing spot to be smaller. Moran answers 2 out of the 3 correct and successfully lands in the designated spot. Wen and Simmons then offer him a part as an agent on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Ralph Lammie Jr. is driven to an outdoor obstacle course where Luke Mitchell appears on a monitor. Mitchell informs him that this simulation sees him emerging from his cocoon and emerging as an Inhuman with the obstacle course testing how well he adapts. After successfully completing the course on time and recovering the coordinates to a S.H.I.E.L.D. extraction point, Lammie enters the car and is driven to the point, but on the way there Brett Dalton appears on the monitor in addition to a Hydra car in pursuit. Dalton tells him that he has to beat the Hydra car to the extraction point while answering questions, with incorrect answers giving Hydra a lead. After successfully reaching the point first, Mitchell appears on the monitor and offers him a part as an agent on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
