In Secret Invasion episode 4, the Skrull insurgents, led by their newly appointed general Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir), embark on their most audacious mission yet – the assassination of the US President. Meanwhile, Nick Fury confronts the painful truth about his Skrull wife Priscilla/Varra (Charlayne Woodard), as well as other shocking revelations that ultimately result in a devastating loss. Here's the compelling conclusion of Secret Invasion episode 4, delving into the intricacies of the storyline.
Rhodey Is Finally Confirmed To Be A Skrull
In Secret Invasion episode 4, an astonishing revelation comes to light regarding Col. James "Rhodey" Rhodes. He is exposed as a Skrull operative working under the command of Gravik. Being a valuable asset due to his close ties with President Ritson (Dermot Mulroney), this imposter, posing as Rhodey, has undoubtedly been supplying Gravik with confidential information about the US government for a considerable period of time. However, it is also confirmed that Fury has been aware of the truth about Rhodey, quite likely since their conversation in Secret Invasion episode 2, where the fake Rhodey referred to him as "Nick". After all, it is an established fact in the MCU that nobody refers to Fury by his first name.
Talos Killed By Gravik In Secret Invasion Episode 4
In the final moments of Secret Invasion episode 4, the joint efforts of Fury and Talos to rescue President Ritson proves disastrous. Gravik, disguised as a Russian soldier alongside his Skrull forces, launches an attack on the President's motorcade. With the assistance of Talos, Fury manages to successfully retrieve Ritson. However, Talos falls victim to Gravik's stabbing before Fury can react. Nevertheless, Talos' Extremis powers swiftly heal his injuries after Fury shoots Gravik. Forced to prioritize Ritson's safety, Fury swiftly evacuates the scene, leaving Talos' lifeless body behind as the episode concludes.
