Walk in the Park[]

- ―Carla Talbot to Glenn Talbot[src]
Talbots defend themselves from Carl Creel
Carla Talbot was walking with her husband and son through Potomac Plaza in Washington, D.C. jokingly discussing George's future. The eleven-year old told his parents that since he liked boats, he wanted to be in the United States Navy. After Antoine Triplett planted a phone on Glenn so Phil Coulson could warn him about the HYDRA Assassin Carl Creel who was coming to murder him, her husband told her to get George and run.[1]
Taco Tuesday[]
- "Put your face on the carpet!"
"Okay! God! What is wrong with you?! God, I-I-I even brought those little pork taquitos that you like so much." - ―Glenn Talbot and Carla Talbot[src]
Talbot continued her usual tradition of visiting her husband Glenn in his office on Tuesdays with tacos for lunch. On one occasion, she called Glenn to inform him that she was stuck in traffic and would be late; Glenn appeared confused, claiming she had already arrived before he hung up the phone.
Glenn Talbot mistakes Carla for Agent 33
When she finally arrived at the office, she found the guard was missing, so she walked to Glenn's office. When she found him, he immediately pulled his gun on her, ordering her to lie on the ground. Talbot did as she was instructed, horrified at her husband's shocking behavior. Glenn realized he had made a mistake, as his offices had been attacked by a shape shifting assassin who had taken her appearance earlier.[2]
Family in Danger[]
Talbot leaving Glenn Talbot inside the airport
- "Don't leave like this, Carla. It's not my fault. I just couldn't say no to the president."
"Yes, you could have. You just didn't want to." - ―Glenn Talbot and Carla Talbot[src]
When Glenn Talbot was appointed at the head of the ATCU by President Matthew Ellis, Glenn and Talbot's son George was kidnapped by HYDRA leader Gideon Malick so Malick could blackmail the Talbots. Talbot blamed her husband for what had happened, stating that he had always favored his career over his family and that they had to pay for it. Talbot then left her husband to somewhere she would be safe. Thanks to Phil Coulson and S.H.I.E.L.D., George was released and returned to Talbot.[3]
Losing a Husband[]
Carla witnesses her husband's slow recovery
Talbot visited Glenn Talbot in the hospital after he was shot in the head by an LMD of Daisy Johnson. She was approached by General Hale, who told Talbot that she wanted to transfer Glenn to another facility where he could receive more suitable treatments. Although Talbot was initially reluctant about the idea, she agreed when Glenn had another rage outburst due to his brain damage, which made him yell at their son George. Unbeknownst to Talbot, however, Hale was a leader of HYDRA who imprisoned Glenn at the former HYDRA Preparatory Academy.[4]
Dangerous Call[]
Carla is forced to use Faustus on Glenn Talbot
- "Glenn, the doctors said you should take a deep breath. Calm your mind. You know what is best. What is best is you comply."
- ―Glenn Talbot and Carla Talbot[src]
Talbot was found by General Hale's assistant, Candice Lee. When Glenn Talbot called Talbot after he was released from the HYDRA Preparatory Academy, Talbot was forced by Lee to use the Faustus method on her husband so he would fulfill his secret mission ordered by HYDRA: kidnapping Robin Hinton.[5]
Husband's Return[]
Carla reunited with her husband
- "What's the matter? Cat got your tongues?"
"I'm just surprised. With everything going on in the world, I didn't know..." - ―Glenn Talbot and Carla Talbot[src]
Talbot was at home with her son George Talbot when she got the surprise of seeing her husband, Glenn, returning home shortly after she was called by S.H.I.E.L.D., who warned her about Glenn's recent empowerment and the effects it had on his sanity. Talbot indeed sensed that something was not right with her husband and asked whether he felt all right as he talked with George and demonstrated his powers. Talbot insisted that she and Glenn had to talk and tried to have George go into his bedroom, only for her to be attacked by Glenn, who blamed her for having contributed to the activation of his Faustus indoctrination.
Talbot is attacked by her husband
Pinned on the wall by Glenn's gravity manipulation powers, Talbot swore that she had no idea that what she said would harm him. However, Glenn refused to hear her out and threatened to absorb her within his own body, which would have killed Talbot. Nevertheless, Talbot was saved by the arrival of S.H.I.E.L.D.. who had come to stop her husband. Although they failed, Glenn left the house without further harming Talbot.[6] Talbot was later widowed when her husband was killed by Quake during the Battle of Chicago.[7]
