There is no way out for Jemma (Elizabeth Henstridge) and Daisy (Chloe Bennet) in the upcoming episode of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." season 4.

Titled "Identity and Change," next week's episode will finally reveal the identity of Hydra (Mallory Jansen). According to the official synopsis, Daisy and Jemma continue to struggle with finding an escape route to the real world. While they try to flee from the "Matrix"-like Framework, the identity of the Inhuman leader of the Resistance is unveiled.

ABC has released a new poster for the upcoming episode that gives fans a first look at Jansen's manipulative Hydra. "All hail Madame Hydra," reads the text on the image. The network also launched a sneak peak, which shows Daisy and Jemma meeting up with other familiar characters inside the Framework. Mack (Henry Simmons) appears to be hugging his daughter, while Simmons tells Radcliffe (John Hannah) that he should help them. "I'm afraid there is no escape from this place," Radcliffe responds.

Executive producers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen recently caught up with Entertainment Weekly to share their thoughts on the introduction of the female supervillain. "Since we're bringing back Hydra in the Framework, we thought we'd bring it back with a force to be reckoned with," the producers said. "Madame Hydra is a villain with the perfect combo of strength, sexy, and scary. We've thrown many challenges Mallory's way and she's always up for the task. We're excited for fans to see how she makes Madame Hydra come to life."

In the Marvel comics, Madame Hydra is also known as Viper, who later became a foe of the Avengers and the X-Men. This is the third role Jansen has played on the ABC series. Earlier in the season, Jansen was first introduced as Aida, the Life Model Decoy (LMD) made by Radcliffe. The said LMD was developed based on Agnes, a real person whom the actress also portrayed in the current installment. She was a terminally ill character who was also Radcliffe's former love interest.

The fourth season of "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT on ABC.
