Season 2 of Agents of SHIELD has been a crazy ride. The inhuman story has been at the forefront of this season but there has been a very interesting secondary plot forming the past few weeks. Back in episode 9 "Ye Who Enter Here," Bobbi Morse (Adrianne Palicki) and Mack (Henry Simmons) revealed that they have another agenda and that their loyalties may not entirely lie with SHIELD.
The two have been snooping around SHIELD headquarters and scanning Director Coulson's for information. During "Who You Really Are," Bobbi, also known as Mockingbird, and Mack encounter Vin-Tak, a Kree warrior, and are instantly overpowered. Their lack of strength brings them to wonder if they should call for backup, and they don't mean more SHIELD agents.
Mockingbird and Mack have debated on bringing Lance Hunter (Nick Blood) into the fold but Mack has been opposed to this idea. Based on upcoming episode synopsis's it appears that we could get an answer on what is going on in the next few weeks. But who wants to wait that long? Not me. So I thought I'd share my theory on how things might turn out.
I've been thinking about what the two newcomers could be up to and this is basically what we have to go on- They have both been with SHIELD for some time, with Mockingbird taking time to pose as HYDRA. Luckily, they are not HYDRA but they do know how it feels to find out close friends are not who they said they were. They are both highly trained in fighting and have past ties to Hunter.
I have come to the belief that Hunter may actually be the key to it all. A quick Google search or Marvel comic knowledge about Lance Hunter and maybe you know where I'm going. Are Bobbi and Mack actually part of another secret intelligence organization?
In Marvel comic history, Hunter eventually becomes the Director of STRIKE, Special Tactical Reserve for International Key Emergencies. STRIKE is basically the British version of SHIELD but the two have worked together countless times.
It seems likely that Hunter will eventually be brought on board to Mack and Bobbi's plan and if they are members of STRIKE, then it could be starting Hunter down the path of ultimately reaching his role in the comics. Bringing another friendly organization into the mix could prove to be helpful, especially with a lot of villains on the way.
Hunter is on to the two of them and it is only a matter of time before this becomes a big enough problem that Mack can't just sleeper hold out of. This will be an interesting subplot for the rest of season 2 and maybe a bigger plot line in the future of Agents of SHIELD.
