Well now that you are still with us, "Turn, Turn, Turn" was depicted as the tie in episode to Marvel's blockbuster Captain America: The Winter Soldier that opened this weekend. We rejoin the team while they are confronting Agent May about her secret phone line that she reveals to be a direct line to none other than Nick Fury. Coulson is not sure if he can trust her so he locks her up for a while.
Meanwhile, Agent John Garrett was being shot at by SHIELD drones and joined the team on The Bus after they helped save him. The Bus has had its initial destination changed to go to The Hub after orders from Victoria Hand. When the team arrives at The Hub, they believe that Victoria Hand is in fact the clairvoyant and want to wipe all of the info they have gathered so she and Hydra cannot get their hands on it. Skye backs up all the info and gives it to Ward, which will prove to be crucial later on.
The team escapes The Bus and goes on a mission to rescue Simmons and Triplett, who went to The Hub for research purposes. With Skye and Ward off on their own, Garrett, Coulson, May, and Fitz set out to find Victoria Hand and take her down. While on this mission, Coulson discovers that Hand is not the clairvoyant after all and it has been his good friend Agent John Garrett. Garrett reveals that he is not only the clairvoyant but also a Hydra member that helped take over SHIELD.
Coulson, May, and Fitz get in a fight with Garrett and some Hydra henchmen, with Fitz and Coulson taking down Garrett. Once Ward finds out, he requests that instead of staying with the team, to travel with Hand and personally lock away his former S.O. Hand and Coulson do not see a problem with that and let Ward go on his way. Coulson tasks his team of "allies" to repair the plane so they can survive. But while, Coulson is repairing a plane, Ward causes mayhem on another. He turns and kills SHIELD officers and Victoria Hand, showing his true allegiance not only to Garrett but also to Hydra.
Marvel delivered a strong episode for the second week in a row and the writers have 5 episodes left to prove they deserve a second season. What do you expect to see in the final episodes of this season? Is Ward really a Hydra member?
