Through their conversation, we learn Nick Fury is on S.A.B.E.R., a space station he’s supposed to be building for the US government (it seems more like an excuse for exile if you ask me). Agent Prescod also realizes the “Everett Ross” we see is not the real Ross, and attacks him, ending up being killed by the fake Ross, who runs away while a supposed Russian man runs after him and Talos Maria Hill tracks him down. While we learn Maria Hill was actually following “Ross” to save his life as he falls from a random building’s roof, we learn he’s not the real Everett Ross, but he’s a Skrull. And the Russian man following him is undercover Talos. As the fake!Ross turns into a Skrull, Maria Hill looks at Talos and says “He’s one of you”, and Talos says “He’s one of THEM”… hinting at what Agent Prescod has said before.
While he’s at her house, Fury leaves one of his microphones and camera to hear what she’s up to, asks questions about bombs missing from Kazakhstan, and says he wants to be part of whatever her plan is to fight Skrulls. She tells him he has changed and he should go back to the spaceship and dismisses him.
In the next scene, we’re 312km southwest of Moscow, and we see a man approaching what seems like a military facility. A woman behind the facility’s gate approaches the man, asking to show his true self before letting him in…and he turns into a Skrull. The facility is, of course, the one Fury, Talos, and Maria had been searching for. She welcomes him and drives him to the actual Skrull camp – what looks like an abandoned nuclear facility?, as she tells him they only grow Skrull products and it’s an all-Skrulls little city.
At the safe house Nick, Maria, and Talos listen to Sonya’s discussions with her agents about her plan to stop the Skrulls from conquering Earth…and they decide to intervene and track the Skrulls down before THEY get to exchange bombs. At the same time, the woman gets to work, as one of the guys from the compound commands her to deliver the bombs before the attack. As Maria, Talos, and Nick follow the lead, they point to the woman as a person of interest, and they also find the place and the man who’s supposed to deliver the bombs. As Nick and Talos discuss with the man, they learn – with us – he’s actually a Skrull.
Next, we see Fury in a bar with Maria, talking about the past and how much he has changed since the Blip, saying he hasn’t been in contact in the past few years, and that she thinks he’s not ready to fight for this war as he should. She asked why he abandoned Earth and he said he actually had a crisis of faith and he only came back because he owed it to Talos. Maria asks if he actually owes it to someone else, but this person is not actually mentioned – I’m curious if she’s talking about Natasha or what.
I have to be honest…I don’t believe Maria is really dead, always remember that no one is really dead when it comes to Fury.
