More good evidence for character-driven emotional connection: Elena/YoYo (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) and Mack (Henry Simmons) reconcile with an awkward conversation followed by a passionate kiss.

team needs to rediscover its characters’ hearts and connections that link emotion with the characters. For the show to move beyond the guest-of-the-half, the core S.H.I.E.L.D. She even makes a comment about her becoming director as something that would only happen in the “comic book version”. I don’t think it was lost on writing team that Coulson and Daisy represent alternate universe versions of the Director. In the episode’s subplots, Daisy, Coulson, and Mace have a come-to-Fury meeting about trust and teamwork midway through the episode. While Coulson (Clark Gregg) doesn’t count Reyes out, with an off-handed reference to the “previous” Ghost Rider’s return, fans probably should although a fiery head hugging Aida into oblivion in the season finale isn’t out of the realm of poetic endings. Regardless of the disconnect between Ghost Rider and the main line of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), this plot allowed for some meaningful social commentary on smart people living with ethnic bias and economic distress. His political instincts remain intact, however, as he explains the sudden appearance of Daisy/”Quake” to the press, and giving her a legitimate way back into S.H.I.E.L.D.īefore the science fiction completely reasserts itself, though, the devil once again saves the day as Reyes initiates a ghostly atomic implosion that takes the already dying Morrow with it. He moves from “optics” to “tactics” as he initiates a “plan B”, which also fails. With the shadows now fully illuminated, Director Mace (Jason O’Mara), also joins the fray.

In another tie to reality, reality TV becomes a character as news trucks descend on S.H.I.E.L.D. Unfortunately, it isn’t too sophisticated for Aida’s matrix, and what it contains not only rewrites her knowledge base, but providers her access to new information about inter-dimensional physics, and seemingly tweaks her moral compass as well. Evidence, not magic.Īnd the magical book, The Dark Hold, turns out not to be a book, but a user interface to some data retrieval technology too sophisticated for the human brain.

She reaffirms her innocence to Fitz, who holds up a tablet full of data and says, “now it’s true”.

As Fitz examines the gauntlets protecting Daisy’s (Chloe Bennet) arms from her own shockwave, they banter about her not being the cause of the recent seismic activity. The return to science floats across the entire episode. All the weirdness starts to make some sense, save Reyes/Ghost Rider’s possession. I don’t know if the show runners and writers have been reading this column or others like it, but the return to more traditional science fiction is more than welcome. He creates a “demon core”: a plutonium-based trap designed to take down this world, leaving one in which he can create in his own image. Meanwhile, Morrow progresses rapidly through the periodic table on his way to making compounds, and eventually life, out of nothing. The bigger the rift, the bigger the displacement. The universe comes under threat not because Morrow can create matter from nothingness, but because he steals quantum energy from another dimension. Fitz discerns “grand larceny” as the answer. The answer to “how you create energy from nothing” permeates the episode.

With “The Laws of Inferno Dynamics”, the mystery of Robbie Reyes/Ghost Rider (Gabriel Luna) and his uncle Eli Morrow (José Zúñiga) start to ravel in the heads of Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge), as well as in the head of android Aida (Mallory Jansen). finally started grounding their supernatural season with science. In a season that’s so far flirted at the very edges of credibility, for a show that already requires a concentrated dose of belief suspension, Team Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
