Last week left us with a plot twist that would make many an avid watcher of the series extremely angry. This plot twist? Agent May seems to be in on some secret plan with someone, having set up an unapproved phone line connected to someone not revealed to us. Is she under Director Fury’s command, or worse, under the control of the Clairvoyant? This week didn’t exactly clear things up on that front.
There are then three pairs of SHIELD agents searching for three different Clairvoyant suspects, one in a prison in Milton Keynes, one a nineteen year old lad and another an apparently comatose old man who had been involved in a car accident. Deathlock appears on the scene of the latter, cue a load of explosions and shots, and one of the agents left in critical condition. However smart thinking Fitz had put a tracker in one of the bullets and the team track Peterson to an old race track, where they locate the old man, Thomas Nash, hooked up to some machines and a wheelchair.
Now here, we focus on the emotions given to us in this scene. The Clairvoyant is well known for reading people and knowing how to get them to do what they want. He boasts that Skye will eventually get killed by Centipede because she has something they want, a bullet suddenly rings out and he is killed by none other than Agent Ward. It makes clear who Lorelei was talking about when she said Ward had feelings for someone else, it must be Skye.
There is no denying a lot occurs in this week’s episode. More questions are raised than answered and it leaves you wondering who is working for who and, ultimately, who is the clairvoyant? Were they just led on a wild goose chase only to be killed by the real clairvoyant, who could possibly be Agent Hand? Hopefully, our troubles will be quenched by the end of the series, as it’s all definitely heating up.
