“Agents of SHIELD” Recap: The Apocalypse Contingency

“Avengers: Infinity War” is finally in theaters, but that’s not stopping “Agents of SHIELD” from their usual problems involving alien invaders. In “Option Two,” the Confederacy attacks the Lighthouse, splitting up team SHIELD and forcing them to fight for survival. While Daisy goes dark for a secret mission, Yo-Yo reveals a secret.

Trojan Horse | The imprisoned Talbot reveals to Coulson that he was transmitting the Lighthouse’s location to the Confederacy and moments later, their spaceship arrives in the sky. Talbot keeps saying that he can make things right, but Coulson still doesn’t trust him.

Speaking of trust issues, Mack finds out that Yo-Yo killed Ruby and is angry that she sunk to such a low. The equally pissed Daisy is sent by May on a mission to secure Robin and her mother, with May secretly asking her to obtain information on Cybertek’s programs. Daisy discovers that the HYDRA tech they need to potentially save Coulson is in her mother’s grave, which she doesn’t hesitate to desecrate.

Lockdown | Once the aliens, who bear a shocking resemblance to the Reavers from “Serenity,” start coming in, Coulson accidentally engages the Lighthouse’s nuclear attack protocol, sealing everyone in the Lighthouse for fifteen years. To make matters worse, the aliens destroy the only system that could reset the protocol. The team splits up to survive, and Talbot is stuck with Simmons in the lab, leading to a breathtakingly stupid moment.

From All Around | Talbot knocks out Simmons and is so determined to make things right, that he leaps into the infusion chamber that somehow hasn’t been destroyed and infuses himself with ALL the Gravitonium. He uses this to make short work of the incoming attackers and then take Coulson up to the surface with him. Glenn Talbot is the Destroyer of Worlds??? Um…

“Agents of SHIELD” airs Fridays at 9pm on ABC.
