And though I would suspect next week, she’ll at least try to talk to Andrew, I think we can all agree that’s not going to go well, and that now we are facing the prospect of a season where we have two ex-SHIELD members as villains for the team to deal with over the season: Ward for the Hydra thread and Garner for the Inhuman thread. So much so, his Inhuman side, Lash, has made it his mission to kill them all and put them out of their misery. Of course, now May knows. We also have a good idea of why he keeps denying Daisy anyone on her team. So, we now have an answer of why Garner left May in Hawaii. If your girlfriend’s ex wants to visit from Phoenix, you do not buy him a plane ticket. Hunter: Do you think you should? He’s the competition. And from the looks of it, we’re all going to wish he hadn’t.įitz: What, you don’t think I should help Simmons rescue Will? Garner himself was right–there was no way he should have survived. Oh, by the way, all the doubters were right. I think the scene was supposed to be funny, but I was laughing for the wrong reasons.Īnd then, just as I was about to give up, all three plots suddenly came together, with the answer: Andrew Garner. Oh we’re done with him? Let’s just prop him back in the car. We’re supposed to believe any of that? Why do we need to punch banks in the face to get his blood–hello, THE MAN HAS BEEN SHOT, he should be bleeding rather profusely. I’m headdesking because somehow the entire episode seems to have gone off the rails into ludicrous speed.
Daisy and Mac facepalm because Hunter’s gone out and shot a guy. I could almost hear Han Solo mutter “Boring conversation anyway.” (One thing the show did right this week? Lots and lots of ass kicking by Bobbi and May.) But speaking of unbelievable, let’s now turn to that scene with Hunter, Daisy and Mac in the truck. I was relieved when the ass kicking finally started in that scene. Not only that, but when May and Bobbi find themselves locked up in a bank vault, and need to talk their way out, the entire premise was fairly unbelievable. It is amazing to me how incompetent SHIELD is when it comes to tracking Hydra. And for 90% of the episode these three threads, as far as we could tell, basically had nothing to do with each other. Not only did they have nothing to do with each other, but each was cringe worthy in their own way.Ĭoulson: “You know I run a spy organization, right?” Instead we focused on Coulson and Rosiland, Daisy and Co, and Agent May’s going after Hydra. Fitz and Simmons were basically backburnered completely for the other plot lines. Not that this week’s episode was bad per se–it began and ended with pretty big bangs. But after last week’s semi-tour de force, this week had a lot of things that reminded us of SHIELD‘s weaknesses.
As Morse fights off the Hydra members, the dying Strucker tells May that Garner survived his attack because Garner is Lash.This week marks the 50th episode of Agents of SHIELD, and I think the show would have been better off if that anniversary was last week. Malick instead turned him over to Hydra in exchange for a future favor. May and Morse trace Strucker to the apartment of Gideon Malick, who Strucker sought sanctuary with. Price tells Coulson that she wants to ‘cure’ the Inhumans because she could not help her husband, who died of cancer. As an analysis proves that Banks is not an Inhuman, they realize that they are at the ATCU facility, and witness Coulson seeing a captured Inhuman arrive in suspended animation.
They find Banks, knock him out, and take some of his blood, before sneaking a camera into a building that he was headed to. Since Johnson and Mack never made it to the ATCU facility, Coulson visits it himself, while Johnson, Mack, and Hunter believe that Price’s right-hand man Banks may be Lash. Hunter is replaced by Morse on the Ward mission she and May begin tracking Strucker. finds Garner alive after Strucker fled the scene.
