Here's What You Missed On Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In preparation for tonight's highly anticipated return of Agent's of S.H.I.E.L.D let's review what happened in the past two episodes leading up to the winter hiatus.
Repairs 1x09

Nothing like a little supernatural S.H.I.E.L.D. episode to make are heads spin. This episode was really intense and left us all to wonder if people with supernatural powers were real or just a myth.

  • Ward and May actually did the deed: the plot twist of the last episode which made it look like Ward would end up with Skye after she offers her comforting services to him. However it was Agent May that won the lottery of Ward's fine abs that night. I still can't get over it (#TeamSkyeWard)

  • FitzSimmons believe that they should prank Skye because she has never been to the academy and is basically the freshman of the clan. What at first seems like fun and games bites Fitz on the ass later down the road. They also contract a far fetch story about Agent May and how the name "The Calvary" came to be.

  • We finally learned where the name "The Calvary" which was given to Agent May came from. While on a mission with Coulson she took it upon herself to save her men. She entered with no guns and killed approximately twenty trained assassins. None of her men died that day because of her, but a part of her died which explains partially why she is the way she is. May has always been this person with a cold exterior, protecting herself. At the end of the episode when we learn she was the one who put the shaving cream on Fitz' face you can see that she is still who she used to be deep within,

  • The main victim of this episode Hannah Hutchins believes that God is out to push her and that Demons are the ones destroying everything / one around her. And she wasn't ... entirely wrong. Tobias who worked with Hannah and developed a crush on her caused a workers accident killing himself and three others. Tobias goes on to haunt Hannah protecting her from all the bad in the world. Tobias was stuck between Earth which was almost like his purgatory and Hell. In order for him to stop jumping from one dimension to another he had to let Hannah go.

 Favourite Episode Quotes

  • "It's a delicate situation so you're bringing in warm AND fuzzy?" - Skye

  • "1990's technology at it's best." - Coulson
The Bridge 1x10
In the explosive Winter Finale so much happened that we were left saying "OMG, did that really just happen?" The answer is "Yes, it really did." After rewatching the episode today after a few weeks I still can't wrap my head around what happened, but hopefully tonight will relieve my worries or intensify them... guess we shall see.

  • Ah centipede super soldiers how wonderful. You knew this wasn't going to turn out good at all. The centipede technology nearly killed Mike in the pilot. Also, Edison and Rena are the definition of bad news. But I can't help but think these Super Soldiers are badass even though they work for the wrong people.

  • Speaking of Mike Peterson, seeing him again brought a smile to my face. Seeing him in a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility alive and stronger than ever was a nice thing to see. There was literally no better person to bring to help with Rena than him... or so I thought.

  • My heartaches for Skye because she is trying so hard to find out who her real parents are. Coulson and May are doing everything to SHIELD (I had to) Skye from the truth. Apart of me thinks Agent May is her mother but then that kind of seems too good to be true so it might not happen. BUT if it does, I called it ... so you're welcome. I love the dynamic between Coulson and Skye he's like her protective father and she needs that in her life. 

  • Rena takes away Mike's son as all bad characters do. She needed the leverage for what we assumed was for Mike. But plot twist they wanted Coulson. You're lying to me if your heart wasn't racing for the last 5 mins of the episodes. When Mike hands over Coulson in exchange for his son, he leaves his son in Skye's hands and returns to take Coulson back. Rena has the surrounding areas blow up and it looks like Mike is dead in the fire. I sincerely hope not... but it DID NOT look good for him. On the other side of things there was Ward camping out as a shooter on top of a tower and the helicopter that counts Coulson and Rena shot at him and Ward goes down. AND NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT. I'm a pretty emotional person when watching television and I was screaming. It's not a good look for me.

  • The following questions remain like why did Rena take Coulson when apparently Mike was the key to step 3. What actually happened to Coulson in Tahiti because I really need to know. When is Maria Hill coming back because she knows what happened in Tahiti and I need her back. 22 minutes of Cobie a week is not enough you guys... it's not.
Favourite Episode Quotes
  • "Did I beat Captain America's time?" "Not even close." - Mike
  • "When did you stop talking?" "3 embarrassing sentences ago." - FitzSimmons
The winter finale was EXCELLENT and tonight's episode could not come any faster. Happy 2014 everybody I really have a good feeling about this year. See you soon.
