Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Skye is torn between her loyalty to S.H.I.E.L.D. and her connection to the Inhumans as tensions rise between the groups — and Coulson reveals a secret he’s been hiding from even those closest to him.
Our Take
This is a setup hour, and it feels like one. The Skye tension gets some decent material and Coulson’s big reveal lands well enough, but too much time goes to characters standing around arguing about who should distrust whom. Still, the ending sets up the finale with real momentum, so it’s worth sitting through the slower stretches.
