![]() Keep in mind, we’ve opened seasons with Fitz suffering severe brain damage and Simmons trapped on a hostile alien world, so seeing the duo happy, in bed together, discussing football, it’s all kind of refreshing. It seems like the two star crossed lovers are in the healthiest place they’ve ever been. I think I am most pleasantly surprised by the Fitz and Simmons dynamic. It kind of feels like we are in virgin territory here with the plot not being taken up by HYDRA or Inhumans. ![]() Speaking of HYDRA, this had to be the first episode in Agents of SHIELD history where the word HYDRA wasn’t uttered once (unless I just forgot). Even though SHIELD is now back to becoming a fiercely powerful intelligence entity, the episode spells out that there are protocols in place so things can’t get all HYDRA again. May as a field leader, Fitz in pretty much the same place he’s always been, and a bunch of new faces. Some of those new dynamics consists of Simmons as a high level aid to the new director. Coulson and Agent Mack are hunting Daisy as well as trying to find Inhumans to register for the Sokovia accords so there’s a whole new dynamic within SHIELD. There’s a new director of SHIELD and Agent Coulson is relegated to field operative. Daisy is on the run and you can tell she’s troubled and tortured because she’s wearing really dark eye makeup. Daisy witnesses Ghost Rider do what he does best: unleash righteous vengeance on some Aryan skinhead punks.įrom there we get an act one reintroduction to our major players. I thought we were going to have to wait until sweeps. That’s right, they actually gave us Ghost Rider before the first commercial break. From there, things get a lot cooler and less misogynistic as Daisy in her Quake identity confronts Ghost Rider for the first time. Seriously Marvel, you’re better than that. It cost us the world.But enough about me, what of our beloved agents? “The Ghost” kicks off with a shot of Daisy’s ass as she pulls on a pair of black panties. After all, Coulson was absent from all of 2022 sequences from "The Last Day." Further, future Yo-Yo told her younger self that they couldn't save him - and that they shouldn't waste their time trying: "Phil Coulson is dying, and you have to let him. This confirms what we've seen in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Whatever alien voodoo was holding me together, Ghost Rider burned through it. ![]() "I didn't know how to tell you, and I didn't think I should," Coulson admitted. At some point, sir, your heart will just stop beating." I can only surmise that it is progressing at a rapid rate.

It's tissue that appears to have been dead for several years." It isn't caused by anything I've ever seen. The MRI shows necrotic tissue branching out from the scarred area surrounding Coulson's life-threatening - life-ending injury to his heart and left lung," she explained with a waver to her voice. Simmons was able to fix him up, but she discovered the true extent of the damage in the process. As he fought back amid a flurry of protestations, he found himself unable to breathe and collapsed. However, when activated, the gravity device would pull anything near it into the fear dimension, meaning the mission might result in death - or worse.Ĭoulson volunteered immediately. Someone would have to go to the tear in space-time in order to insert a gravity device of Fitz's design, which would temporarily close it until he was able to come up with a more permanent solution.

Even as they spoke, the bleed from the fear dimension grew worse, quickly spreading to the upper levels. This tear in space-time opened a small doorway to what Fitz described as a "fear dimension," which caused the team's worst fears to manifest in the Lighthouse. The subsequent explosion leveled all three Kree monoliths, creating a tear in space-time. The beginning of the episode found Fitz inspecting the damage of the Kree beacon, which General Hale had wired to blow.
