ThisAgents of SHIELDreview contains spoilers.
Its your fault, Stark!
Maybe the rise of Hive and his crew of Inhumans kind of prove Stark right.
They are deadly and unregulated and out for their own agenda.
It also raises the stakes as now; Hive can transform anyone into a mindless Inhuman foot soldier.
Which is just one reason that its suddenly really bad to be an Inhuman.
Lincoln isnt thrilled by this so the electric Inhuman contacts Daisy to help him escape.

At first, I felt this little plot point was a bit haphazard.
I mean, Lincoln saw Daisy take down an entire S.H.I.E.L.D.
HQ, why would he want to join with her, accords or no accords?
A good portion of this weeks episode saw Lincoln trying to escape with Daisys remote help.
Lincoln frees himself from S.H.I.E.L.D.
HQ and commandeers a Quinjet.
He is on his way to Daisy when it is revealed that he never left.
Instead, May plays Daisy and sends Lash in Lincolns place.
It is a ballsy play by May, sending her transformed ex-husband into the lions den (bee hive?
), and it pays off but with a price.
Now, May has to deal with the consequences of her play.
She lost her husband, but really, she lost him to Lash long ago.
Daisy is free because of Lash, a being once seen as a monster.
Man, this show raises the stakes the episode after a film debuts, doesnt it?
Remember the episode afterWinter Soldier?
Let me tell you, there is a catharsis in finally watching Hive Ward get beat down by Lash.
Yeah, theres a price, but these actions freed Daisy and now our team is back together.
But for how long?
The dreaded death of an agent is coming next week in the season finale.
The episode makes it seem that the dead agent in Daisys vision will be Mack.
Remember the floating chain and cross?
Marvel Moments
Of course, the whole episode is bouncing offCivil Warwith mentions of the events of the film.
Ive said it a million times, I love that sort of cross media synergy.
We have a nice little memorial to Peggy Carter as well this week.
I guess if Coulson appeared inCivil War, he would have been on Team Cap.
And speaking of S.H.I.E.L.D., where the heck is Nick Fury during all of this?
You think Nick would have popped up somewhere.
The Alpha Primitives first appeared inFantastic Four#47 and were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.
The comic book Alphas were very strong but almost mindless.
The inclusion of the Primitives is a really nice tribute to some classic Inhuman lore.
