Summary:


In 2018, Belova and fellow Black Widow Sonya visit a woman named
Annie, who has been helping deprogrammed Black Widows. While
there, Belova becomes a victim of the Blip. In the present,
Bishop returns to Eleanor's house and tells her about Duquesne's
shell corporation, leading Eleanor to call the NYPD and have him
arrested. Bishop returns to her apartment, where she finds Belova
waiting for her before the latter reveals her past and mission to
kill Barton.[c] Meanwhile, after recovering at Grills' apartment,
Barton dons the Ronin suit and confronts Lopez at the auto shop
where he killed her father. During the fight, he unmasks himself
and attempts to convince her to let go of her vendetta and leave
his family alone. He reveals that an informant working for
Lopez's boss wanted her father dead, but Lopez initially
disbelieves him. Bishop arrives to help Barton escape, while
Lopez becomes suspicious of Kazi, who was absent on the night of
her father's death. The next day, Belova texts Bishop, revealing
that she was hired by Eleanor to kill Barton and that Eleanor is
working with Lopez's "uncle", who Barton identifies as Kingpin.
