Summary
Blackmail. Illegal porn. Undercover at a gay bar. The Nice Guys sure are at it again.
“Porn? I can throw a rock in this neighborhood and I’m gonna break the window of a porn store.”
March gestured anxiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Healy paused. “Ohhhhh. The nasty stuff. Whips and handcuffs. Girls and animals.”
“Close,” March said, grimacing. He really, really didn’t want to have to explain this. “Think more like…. Disco.”
“Disco?” Healy raised an eyebrow. “What, like the queer music? You think the back room of that store is full of porn for… For disco fans.” He nodded thoughtfully a couple of times. “And you’re an expert about this?”
For a second the whole world went white around the edges and March thought he might pass out. He was too sober for this conversation. What exactly had Healy noticed that morning, how obvious exactly had his full-body reaction to Healy’s hand on his neck been? “I was a happily married man!” March said, and as soon as it came out of his mouth he knew it was wrong. Too fast, too high-pitched, too loud.
Incriminating.

Summary
The Sokovia Accords were supposed to leash the Avengers. Instead, they gave Eva Stratt a shopping list for the end of the world.
Fresh off the bleeding edge of Siberia, a broken Tony Stark discovers the sun is dying—and that Stratt has weaponized his stolen genetic records in an attempt to draft him for a four-year, one-way suicide mission into the dark. At the Compound alongside Dr. Ryland Grace, a rumpled junior high science teacher who just figured out how the solar parasite breeds, Tony is forced into a chaotic partnership over volatile space sludge.
To Stratt, sacrificing three lives to save seven billion is basic math. To Tony Stark, a one-way ticket isn't a tragic necessity—it’s just a design flaw. It’s time to break the rules, rewrite the physics, and make damn sure the universe's most expensive floating coffin gets a steering wheel.
And he, and Doctor Ryland Grace, would not be taking it.

Summary
It was easier to treat Jon like a monster when he wasn’t shivering against his back, brokenly humming—wait, was that…
“Are you trying to do ‘Hey, Jude’?” Tim demanded.
Jon stopped, stiffening. “Mm hrmh mm mmh hm,” he said defensively.
“You really can’t hold a tune, can you, boss?”
*
It was just an ordinary walk to a restaurant. Tim had insisted that if they were going to talk, there would be no tape recorders or weird Archives ghosts listening in. A bit of fresh air wouldn’t kill him, Tim had said. What could go wrong?
By the time Jon spots the white delivery van, it’s much too late.
The Stranger kidnaps Jon. Tim comes along for the ride.

Summary
'Unbeknownst to Robby, however, he would not be leaving, and it was entirely due to that conversation. Because of that conversation, he was going to lose one of his doctors today.
He did not know this yet.
Nobody knew this yet.
They wouldn’t know until twenty minutes later, when Whitaker went to do that neuro check on the man in South 14.
AKA: What if instead of Emma who gets assaulted in Episode 11, it’s Whitaker, and then things go from bad to fucking catastrophic very, very quickly, because turns out Whitaker’s a very, very good liar, with a very, very large and very, very dangerous secret?
What if Robby’s guilt is strong enough to stop his doomed-ass sabbatical, due to the overwhelming responsibility he feels to 'atone for what he's done'?
What if Whitaker has a chronic condition and some really shitty history he never discussed with anyone, and Robby can't stop being a doctor, no matter how much he keeps trying?
