Episode Summary & Review
Summary
After the Sokovia Accords, S.H.I.E.L.D. is under new management. Jemma is advising the new Director, Coulson and Mack are in the field, Melinda is training an elite strike force, and Daisy has gone rogue taking down Watchdog resources. She comes across a mysterious serial killer known as “Ghost Rider” who is apparently the Spirit of Vengeance…. and will stop at nothing to get his grisly revenge.
Our Take
Season four opens with a darker, moodier tone that mostly works, and Gabriel Luna’s Ghost Rider makes a genuinely unsettling first impression. The scattered team setup takes a while to click, and the new Director tease feels like stalling, but Daisy’s rogue arc gives the hour some real weight. A solid if slightly uneven restart.
