Just imagine how stabby he’s gonna feel next week! (Let’s not dwell on the questionable logistics of all this.) Talos then figures he has the all clear to spitefully stab Gravik in the hand the next time he mentions G’iah. At first, Gravik seems confident to the point of foolhardiness, holding a secret meeting in a museum where, pontificating on whether he’d choose to have his deeds written in oil paint or blood, he loudly proclaims to “choose blood all day long.” But his seeming lack of discretion is explained just a few minute later, when Talos lunges for him - goaded on by talk of G’iah - and suddenly the pair are surrounded by several dozen Graviks, making the museum look a bit more like Skrull territory than a truly public space. (Again, this feels kind of like a prequel to the actual Secret Invasion comics series, in which Skrulls imitate the powers of everyone from Wolverine to Captain Marvel.) “While they’re at each other’s throats,” Gravik says, “we’re going to break their backs.”Īs the infiltration falls into place, G’iah accompanies Gravik on a public meeting with Talos at the National Portrait Gallery in London, waiting in the car and discreetly passing intel about the compromised submarine Neptune to her dad’s side. Gravik also tells his council that the Skrulls’ long-term plans no longer involve merely changing faces, but changing powers - essentially creating their own superheroes. While Fury takes a little domestic break, Gravik is busy, constructing a plan for three Skrull operatives to infiltrate the Royal English Navy and attack a U.N. Doesn’t that predate the blip, at least in part? If he got that mad at Talos, why doesn’t he seem to feel the same way about the person who he nominally shares a home with?

I’d still argue that Fury way underplays his sense of betrayal, or even curiosity, over the possibility that Varra knew the entire Skrull population had since come to Earth. “Staying away … that leaves a mark.” This reorients the conflict at hand: Yes, Fury has always known that he’s married to a Skrull, but in the past he was able to trust her as one of the “good ones,” like Talos now, the show implies, her loyalty may not be quite so strong. It’s a clever twist on the first time two lovers lay eyes on each other: Fury knows Varra, but not in this particular form.īack in the present day, Priscilla/Varra gives her husband a stern (but not that stern, all things considered) talking-to about his absence - about how he essentially made her a widow twice over by returning from the blip, then leaving Earth when he returned. “Betrayed” almost immediately clarifies the situation it even flashes back to 1998 for a glimpse at what seems like an early moment in their courtship, when Fury encounters Varra in her newly chosen human form during a little espionage-and-clandestine-hand-touching session. Director Ali Selim subsequently semi-confirmed that I was wrong, revealing in a Deadline interview that the script had Fury knowing, while also admitting that it was shot ambiguously in the final episode, for reasons I’m not entirely clear on. Several folks in the comments posited that this was a twist for the audience, but not Fury, who must have known his wife’s, uh, immigration status. Last week, Secret Invasion ended with a hazy bombshell: the revelation that Priscilla Fury, Nick’s long-unseen wife, is actually a Skrull.
