The stakes were finally raised on Agents of SHIELD “Devils You Know.”
Here’s our review…
This Agents of SHIELD review contains spoilers.
We had the Inhuman stuff with a return of the monstrous Lash.
Dont get me wrong, I really dig Lash.
She was the redhead with same powers as popular X-Factor character Jamie Madrox.
This time she was on the side of the angels.
Daisy managed to hold Lash off and even witnessed the monster transform into a human being.
So who is the creature, really?
Hopefully that reveal will be handled a bit better than some of the shows mysteries of the past.
So the Inhuman stuff churns ever onward as does Simmons acclimation back on Earth.
Bobbi also had a precognitive feeling that Hunter was in deep trouble, and she was right.
Which brings us to the true shock of this weeks episode.
Last week, Hunter had to endure an epic asskicking and was granted a meeting with the HYDRA honchos.
This seemed like a long game plot thread but it all came to tragic fruition this week.
Hunter was indeed made by Ward.
If May didnt back off, Ward would order Garner killed.
Now, Im sorry for so much recap but I really wanted to stress the impact of this twist.
Ward did the unthinkable.
This changes the whole dynamic within the core SHIELD team and also provided May with a character changing moment.
This could be the event that forever sets her down a heroic path.
He was needed to help ease the burden on all these new Inhumans.
Garner was never needed more by SHIELD and he was taken because of Hunters rash decision.
But Werner is here now to pick up the complete and utter bastard slack from his dead daddy.
Now, someone get that kid a monocle.
