Agents of S. This episode started to feel like we were really getting somewhere with the season - at least the team are all headed in the same direction - even if they are all at risk by the end of the episode! They make the jump β and we get a beautiful shot of earth being revealed behind the moon.
On Earth, Sarge Clark Gregg is eager to get on the road, but Mack Henry Simmons and the rest of the team have questions and want to know what his plan is.
He has to be waiting there to kill it. Was anyone at this point still wondering who the Creator was? Mack figures Sarge would abandon one member or his team β but not two. Mack checks to make sure Sarge has everything he needs and tells him again that Sarge is in charge. Batman Movie anyone??? Deke goes all new-age β until Mack tells him to stop. Mack goes for blackmail. Instead of being creeped out by Snow talking about his beautiful soul, Deke is completely turned on. And we immediately cut to Izel making a Shrike β because no one saw that coming, right?
This season has been a bit heavy-handed, I have to say. Jaco is in the containment pod and Pax chained up. We get a terrific scene between Gregg and Bennet β who are always terrific together. Sarge tells her that all he sees is random. Daisy changes tactics. She asks him how old he is. The only thing that matters is stopping the monster or figuring out how to survive if they fail β because everyone she knows is about to die.
Did everyone he knew die? Back on the ship, Fitz and Simmons work on the communications to try to contact the base. Izel checks in on them. Clearly talking about Sarge. We also get a nice scene between YoYo and Mack. YoYo reassures him that everyone at S. Mack knows that Sarge is holding back. Toad is in the middle of eating some puffs when he becomes the next crew member that Izel infects with a Shrike. Mack points to birds surrounding what looks like a woman with some kind of bars radiating out from her to a circle surrounding her.
