As part of their mission to learn the truth about Skye's true identity, Phil Coulson and Melinda May had travelled to Mexico City in order to track down Richard Lumley. While they waited for Lumley to appear from a dress shop that acted as a cover for Identity Document Forgery, Coulson and May had sat in L.O.L.A. and discussed Lumley and how he had been able to go off the grid. When asked about why she was getting involved with this, May insisted that Skye deserved their support, as she had been helping Coulson's Team on their missions and learning the truth is what she needed.

Seeds12 — Richard Lumley attempting to run away

Just as May was able to disclose to Coulson that she had been having sex with Grant Ward, they had then spotted Lumley walking out of the store, as May followed him on foot, while Coulson had remained in L.O.L.A. However, Lumley soon realized that he was being followed by May and attempted to escape through an alley, with May in pursuit. Lumley then managed to catch her by surprise and had fought May, although he was overpowered and attempted to swallow a Cyanide Pill on commit suicide, although May managed to prevent him to do it, but he had then used the opportunity to knock her down and attempt to escape once again.

LolaSeeds — Phil Coulson blocks Richard Lumley's way

Before Lumley could escape, Coulson had blocked the alley with L.O.L.A., so Lumley then attempted to climb the fire escapes of the alley to escape. Coulson activated L.O.L.A.'s flight mode, as he then identified himself as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, something that Lumley was very relieved to hear, as he thought they were the same men that killed Avery, and he asked Coulson if they were there to talk about the baby girl. Coulson and May had then taken Lumley onto the Bus in order to ask him about what happened with Skye, before allowing him to return to Mexico and remain in hiding.^[3]

In order to avoid being arrested, Grant Ward and Agent 33 had managed to escape to Tijuana, Mexico.

With Agent 33 now trapped, Coulson called Ward and brought him in for a meeting, with Deathlok first scanning Ward with his Backscatter X-Ray Eye Implant to ensure that he did not have any weapons that he could attack Coulson with, before allowing him to go over to Coulson.

Ward and Coulson — Phil Coulson being reunited with Grant Ward

Ward had then sat down with Coulson, who explained that he had needed Ward's help with tracking down Baron Strucker and List, although Ward noted that he was no longer a member of HYDRA and did not have those connections anymore. In order to gain Ward's assistance, Coulson offered him the opportunity to understand Project T.A.H.I.T.I., which would wipe all Ward's memories and allow him to begin his life again, without being hunted down by S.H.I.E.L.D.. Although he was still wary about Coulson's offer, Ward agreed to help, also bringing Sunil Bakshi to help get them a meeting with List, who would then lead them straight to Strucker.^[6]

Unaware of her powers, Yasdan threatened to get physical, only for Jones to throw him across the beach, which was caught on camera and went viral. Jones returned Cassie to Mrs. Yasdan, who expressed her anger at Mitch, resolving to have him put in prison. As Jones suggested she let the matter slide for Cassie, Mrs. Yasdan took offense, demanding to know if Jones thought she was unfair to her daughter.
