Unveiling the Mystery: Cracking the Secret Invasion Episode 3 Ending

Note: The revised content will be provided below.

In Secret Invasion episode 3, titled "Betrayed," more insights into the Skrull rebellion's agenda were unveiled. This episode aired on July 5, 2023, on Disney+. The focus was on Nick Fury, portrayed by Samuel L. Jackson, who takes on a prominent role as the former Director of SHIELD in Phase 5's Secret Invasion. He returns to Earth to confront a faction of Skrulls who are planning to take over the planet. As of the release of episode 3, titled "Betrayed," the series has reached its midpoint, and significant revelations have been made regarding Fury's personal relationships, Talos' activities on Earth following the events of Captain Marvel set in 1995, and Gravik's true intentions to enhance Skrulls into superpowered beings.

Every episode of Secret Invasion concludes with a suspenseful cliffhanger. The series premiere, titled "Resurrection," featured the death of Maria Hill, while episode 2, titled "Promises," disclosed that Nick Fury is married to a Skrull named Varra, also known as Priscilla in her human form. Episode 3 follows a similar pattern. The episode confirms Gravik's plan to create Super Skrulls and reveals that he has already acquired the Extremis substance. Additionally, G'iah, who is part of the Skrull resistance, betrays her comrades by assisting her father in preventing a nuclear launch that could have triggered World War III. The episode delves into the impact of Fury's absence from his wife in the MCU, culminating in a thought-provoking ending in episode 3 of Secret Invasion, which can be interpreted in various ways.

Who Was On The Phone To Fury’s Wife? Was It Rhodey?

Charlayne Woodard made her debut as Varra, also known as Priscilla Fury, in episode 2 of Secret Invasion. However, it was only at the end of the episode that it was revealed that she is Fury's wife. Episode 3 delved deeper into their relationship, focusing on Priscilla's struggles with Fury's frequent absences after being snapped away by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, and his subsequent departure from Earth to work on SABER. It is hinted that Priscilla has more to her than meets the eye, as she has been receiving mysterious phone calls from an unidentified caller. One such call occurs at the end of episode 3, while Priscilla is retrieving a gun from a safe deposit box.

The identity of the person calling Priscilla remains unknown (referred to as "Man on Phone" in the episode's subtitles), but there are a few possible contenders. The most likely candidate could be Pagon, a prominent member of the Skrull resistance portrayed by Killian Scott. Pagon seems to have significant influence within the Skrull rebellion, suggesting that he could have been the one denying Priscilla's request to speak to Gravik and acting as a substitute. The intentions of Pagon and the rebellion concerning Priscilla are unclear, but there does appear to be a connection between her and Gravik in episode 2 of Secret Invasion.

Why Fury’s Wife Is Betraying Him

One possibility for the mysterious caller to Priscilla in Secret Invasion episode 3 could be James "Rhodey" Rhodes, known as War Machine. Don Cheadle reprised his role for Secret Invasion, but his character appears to have taken on a more political role rather than being a full-fledged superhero like in previous MCU projects. An interesting theory suggests that Rhodey might actually be a Skrull in Secret Invasion, having infiltrated the Avengers for several years. This theory could potentially tie him to Gravik and Priscilla Fury. In episode 2, Rhodey was seen firing Nick Fury, which could be seen as a strategic move by the Skrull rebellion, although nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

If it's disclosed that Priscilla had been in contact with a member of the Skrull rebellion, which appears increasingly probable, the question arises as to why she would betray her husband and his mission to safeguard humanity. This inquiry may have found an answer in Secret Invasion episode 3, where Fury inquired of Talos why he chose to aid in quelling the rebellion despite his belief in Gravik's actions. The same line of reasoning can be applied to Priscilla, along with every Skrull residing on Earth. Fury's absence during the Blip, followed by his voluntary withdrawal to work on SABER, may have only exacerbated this situation, driving Priscilla even further into the embrace of the Skrull resistance.

Priscilla expressed her anger towards Fury's decision to leave Earth after his return in Avengers: Endgame, stating that she had found her true self during his absence. Additionally, Fury questioned Priscilla about her contact with Gravik, hinting at a deeper connection among the three individuals. A prevailing theory suggests that Gravik is the adopted son of Nick Fury and Priscilla, taken in by them in the late 1990s. This implies that Priscilla may have a stronger bond with Gravik, her Skrull son, and his cause, rather than with Fury, her human husband.

However, it is also possible that Priscilla is being coerced by the Skrull rebellion, potentially against her will, to betray her husband. Being a Skrull, it is likely that high-ranking members of the rebellion, including Gravik, are aware of her marriage to Nick Fury. Exploiting this connection would weaken their primary enemy, Nick Fury. By compromising his wife, forcing her to betray him, and casting doubt on the stability of their relationship, the rebellion aims to make Fury even more vulnerable. The truth behind this situation will potentially be unveiled in Secret Invasion episode 4.

Why Secret Invasion Just Killed Off G’iah

In a shocking twist, Secret Invasion episode 3 concluded with the unexpected demise of G'iah, the daughter of Talos, who had been actively involved with the Skrull rebellion. Emilia Clarke made her debut as G'iah in Secret Invasion episode 1, portraying a strained relationship with her father following the unsuccessful relocation of the Skrulls by Nick Fury and Carol Danvers, as well as the untimely passing of her mother, Soren. Despite their familial issues, G'iah worked tirelessly within the Skrull resistance, providing crucial information to the team. This all reached its climax in Secret Invasion episode 3.

During this episode, G'iah revealed to Fury and Talos about an impending nuclear attack planned by a British submarine targeting a United Nations aircraft. Such an act would have caused worldwide outrage and potentially triggered World War III. However, owing to G'iah's assistance, Talos and Fury successfully thwarted the strike. In the process, G'iah's status as a double agent was exposed, leading to a confrontation with Gravik after her attempt to escape. As Gravik had previously threatened Talos, he shot G'iah, seemingly ending her life. This was confirmed by her transformation back into her Skrull form, which occurs upon death. Nonetheless, G'iah's fate in the MCU may not necessarily be sealed.

G'iah may have potentially staged her own death as a means of escaping Gravik's control, although she would still have suffered severe chest injuries from a gunshot wound. Another possibility is that G'iah could be resurrected, perhaps as part of Gravik's experiments with the Super Skrull, as seen in Secret Invasion episode 3. If it is confirmed that G'iah is indeed deceased, her demise in Secret Invasion will undoubtedly provoke a strong reaction from Talos. Secret Invasion has already showcased a fraction of his power, but with the added motivation of vengeance, he could become a formidable adversary for Gravik and the Skrull rebellion.
