Spoiler Alert: Tonight, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is back, tonight on ABC with its mid-season return. This half of Season 2, the show will focus on Skye’s (Daisy) newfound Inhuman superpowers after the death of BJ Britt’s Agent Trip.
The official plot synopsis for tonight's all new return episodes of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., titled “Aftershocks,” reads:
“In the wake of the war with Hydra, surprising ramifications surface and put the team's solidarity at risk. Meanwhile, Hydra's actions could unearth a traitor at S.H.I.E.L.D.”
It was recently revealed that Skye was an Inhuman, who acquired the newfound ability to create earthquakes. Now executive producer Jeffrey Bell has opened up about Skye discovering how to control her powers, telling Variety:
“Instead of montaging Spider-Man on the subway having fun for about three minutes learning his powers, we can actually explore what it means to go through that. At the beginning of the season, we tried to take Skye, who wasn’t a SHIELD agent at beginning of last year and, coming in this season, really grow her up as a character and as an agent… Now there’s a whole new start and entering us into whole new world of Inhumans and what that means for her and how it affects other characters. Those are all really fun stories for us to explore.”
Another big issue is the death of Agent Triplett ( B.J. Britt). Fitz actor Iain De Caestecker went on to discuss, Trip’s death and how it will effect the series:
“The big thing from the midseason finale is the death of Agent Triplett, and that’s the first time someone who’s been really integrated in the team has [died]. And then with what happens to Skye, someone on our team that’s been affected like that, it just brings [the danger] home a lot more, I think.”
Be sure to tune into the all new episode of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., tonight at 9:00 p.m. eastern on ABC.
