The team investigate a far off town engulfed in a mysterious fog. There, they encounter a royal family of superpowered inhabitants known as the Inhumans, who not only have their own business with the town, but seem to be connected to the fog.
Tropes:
- Continuity Nod: To Agents of S.M.A.S.H., with Hulk remembering the Inhumans (and Lockjaw) from his run-in with them over there.
- Handwave: Hawkeye and Black Widow are absent for the episode, being away on a SHIELD mission.
- Hates Being Touched: Black Bolt.
- Make It Look Like an Accident: Seeker supposedly just crashed his ship in a town that happens to have a Nuhuman in it. The end of the episode proves it really wasn't, but he needed the plausible deniability.
- Mythology Gag:
- At the end of the episode, Ultron communicates with Seeker while covering himself with a red hooded cloak. Ultron's initial appearance in the comics was as "the Red Hood", before turning out to be a robot.
- While the episode never specifies how Seeker found out Dante had Inhuman genes, in the comics it's because his power (as the name "Seeker" would suggest) allows him to track Inhumans.
- Never My Fault: Gorgon accuses the Avengers of mistrusting and judging the Inhumans, when he attacked Iron Man and started the whole brawl simply because Iron Man asked an innocent question. He never apologizes, either.
- Nonchalant Dodge: Black Bolt initially tries doing this with Mjolnir, but it catches him on the return.
- Police Brutality: The guards of Attilan see Hulk teleport in with Lockjaw and assume the worst, even more so with Lockjaw's injured paw, coming to the conclusion Hulk's abducted him, and start shooting.
- Politically Incorrect Hero: And even hero is stretching it with Gorgon, who in addition to all his other charms grumbles about the idea of Inhumans and humans mixing at all.
- Skewed Priorities: Black Bolt hates people touching him so much that when Thor tries to reach him, he choses to try and attack Thor rather than help deal with Inferno's out-of-control powers.
