'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Season 2 Episode 15 'One Door Closes' Review

Non Spoiler Review- This episode was the best episode of the series yet. It provides answers to many questions, and is one of the most action-packed episodes of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' and everyone in the cast delivers a great performance.

*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******

Highlights of the episode 

1. Gordon takes Skye- At the end of the episode Skye unleashes her powers on a S.H.I.E.L.D. taskforce sent to retrieve her. She is then distraught and calls for Gordon to help her and he teleports her to the Inhuman base. I'm excited to learn more about this group of Inhumans, etc.

2. Skye loses control- When Skye loses control she accidentally kills an agent. I enjoyed the visual effects used for this as it is done in low motion and you can see the vibrations. It is also revealed Skye doesn't control seismic activity but actually controls vibrations.

3. Lance Hunter officially joins S.H.I.E.L.D.- At the very end of the episode we see Coulson at what I assume is a bar in Tahiti and Lance Hunter joins him and signs his name on a napkin. He then tells Coulson that is his contract and that he wants to join Coulson. I can't wait to see the two of them try to take on the other S.H.I.E.L.D. next episode.

4. S.H.I.E.L.D. vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.- In the episode the "Real S.H.I.E.L.D" infiltrates Coulson's base and takes over. It seems as though this is the foundation for 'Captain America Civil War' as it has two opposing factions of S.H.I.E.L.D. fighting over their different perspectives and the two factions disagree about superhumans.

 

5. Banner built the cabin- Skye discovers a giant fist that is later confirmed as the Hulk's when she removes a board. IT is also confirmed that Banner was the one that constructed the cabin but I find it odd that it is a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility made by Banner.

6. Fits-Simmons- It seems as thought Fitz-Simmons are reunited as best friends or whatever they were by the shock of the two S.H.I.E.L.D. factions. They are even referred to as Fitz-Simmons throughout the episode. I hope to see their relationship repair itself in the future episodes.

7. The "Real S.H.I.E.L.D." is born- There is a series of flashbacks in this episode that go back to the day SHIELD fell and the "Real S.H.I.E.L.D." is born. It was interesting to see the ideals that formed this new S.H.I.E.L.D.
