'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D' Season 2 Episode 21 and 22 'SOS Part 1' and 'SOS Part 2' Season Finale Review

Non Spoiler Review- Definitely the best episodes of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' as of yet with plenty of plot twists, surprises, and awesome moments. After this finale, I immediately wanted Season 3 and can't wait to see the show return. 

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

Highlights of the finale 

1. Cal saves Daisy by killing her mother- One of the series' most powerful and emotional moments was when Cal chose to kill Jiaying to save Skye. This showed that Jiayang was the monster the entire time and was a defining step for Cal to progress as a character. 

2. Enhanced team- At the end of the episode Coulson speaks to Skye regarding a new team of enhanced agents that he wants Skye to lead. I'm curious to see what kind of enhanced will be on the team and who will join the series. I'm quite excited to see an enhanced team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. 

3. Coulson loses an arm- When Coulson, Fitz, and Mack confront Gordon they are fighting to protect the terrigen crystals in place and when one almost falls Coulson catches it. Mack then chops off Coulson's arm to save Coulson. I didn;t see this coming and I wonder if Coulson will be given a cybernetic arm or mechanical arm. 

4. Simmons absorbed- The very end of the episode ends on a huge cliffhanger as Simmons is looking at the artifact they have possession over when it swallows her and returns to it's normal shape. I'm very interested and curious to learn what this is and what it does, etc. I anicipate learning of Simmon's fate. 

5. Worldwide terrigenesis- The terrigen crystals that fall off of the aircraft carrier dissolve in the ocean and are then absorbed by fish which are then turned into fish oil, etc. So I think worldwide terrigenesis will happen to many people who use fish oil pills. This will likely result in many deaths and more inhumans.

6. Ward forming a team- After Ward escapes from Shield's rescue mission he goes to a bar and looks at a picture of Agent 33 mourning her death at his hands accidentally. He is approached by Hydra agents and he then kills one of the men and tell the others they work for him and they all shout "Hail Hydra". I wonder if this means Ward will become a head of Hydra, a new villain or what will become of him but I do enjoy his character when he is evil.

7. Fitz-Simmons- There are a few great Fitz-Simmons moments throughout the episode where Simmons basically admits she has feelings for Fitz and at the end Fitz asks her on a date. I really enjoy these two characters and hope to see their relationship further explored next season.

8. Mister Hyde- We finally see Cal transform into Mister Hyde after taking some of his serum. It wasn't that much of a visual transformation but he enhanced his strength for sure. I'm glad that they finally showed that Cal is indeed his comic book counterpart Mister Hyde which they have teased all season long. 

9. Character Deaths- Many characters die in this episode including Gordon, Jiaying, and reina. I was very surprised to see Reina killed off given that she has been in the series since the beginning but unfortunately she meets her demise at the hands of Jiaying. Gordon is accidentally killed as he teleports into Fitz's pipe killing himself. I was not expecting the finale to kill off as many characters as it did but it makes up for the lack of characters staying dead in the MCU.

10. War between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Inhumans- The major plot of the finale is that Jiaying was orchestrating this war between S.H.I.E.L.D. and Inhumans. It was interesting to see the groups fight one another and what kind of tactics both groups resorted to.
