Non-stop action, surprise, elation, and agony are the name of the game in the season finale of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., S.O.S. Whether you were rooting for Skye or Raina, Ward or Bobbi, Cal or Coulson, everyone was ready to do what had to be done. There are plenty of cliffhangers to wonder about for next season, and the fall can’t come soon enough.
Join us for show news, episode analysis, our new “Coul-Sass” feature, and our “Sandbox Mailbox” for listener feedback! This week we talk about subtle FitzSimmons moments, the redemption of Mack, the descent into darkness for Ward, and the tough choices for many of the characters in this breakneck-paced finale.

I think the Ward-Bobbi stuff also made a good set-up event for Bobbi to go into her spin-off with Hunter, but that’s not happening now; still it was a great story. I thought it was an inhuman Jaiying healed from. Jaiying said the stone was a weapon, but do we know she was being honest in that moment? It could be a weapon or it could be something more and Jaiying wanted it for herself so her story was a way to protect it; it’s not illogical that Gordon would take her at her word given his actions in this episode. It’s definitely a big mystery for season three.
I agree with Mike, I wouldn’t rush to call Raina a good guy, but she’s a good guy in the sense she’s against Jaiying’s plan for war. Can we have a poll link for none Facebook fans to vote on as well with the “Sassy Coulson” bit? I like “It’s a big boat with poor signage.” for the Sassy Coulson moment from the finale.
I think Ward will blame Bobbi and May for Kara because he’ll rationalize to himself if Bobbi had just said she was sorry then May wouldn’t have been there and he’ll blame May of course of Kara having to take her face; bad guy Ward is definitely interesting. Elizabeth will be in season three thankfully; she suggested the rock could have transported Jemma somewhere much like what happened to Jane in “Thor: The Dark World” which is a possibility. I’m definitely intrigued by that plot.
