The gloves are off (in more ways than one) in One Door Closes! Bobbi and Mack have been made, and the “real” S.H.I.E.L.D. is forced to make their move, but our team still has a few tricks up their sleeves. As Coulson meets up with the long-absent Hunter, what will their next game plan be?
Join us for show news, episode analysis, and our “Sandbox Mailbox” for listener feedback! This week we talk about the likelihood of Fitz and Simmons turning, the true allegiance of Bobbi and the doubts she may feel, the awesome power of Skye and her future with Gordon and the Inhumans, and the shady motives of at least some of the members of Gonzales’ team.

I wonder if it was Inhumans aboard the ship that maybe Gonzales captured? He’s very into capturing Skye. It could also be a weapon that’s factored into the movie franchise; we’ll have to wait and see, maybe we’ll get more before the season end.
I loved the Hulk fist print Easter egg, that was cool. I do think it’s unfair of Gordon to try and make S.H.I.E.L.D. out as villains because as Mike said Skye put herself in the power restraint room, not anyone else; yes Coulson put her in the cabin but he didn’t force her inside and Simmons is trying to help her because she knows Skye doesn’t want the powers right now, so their execution might be questionable but they haven’t done anything to Skye really that Skye herself hasn’t okayed. It was a good scene though like so many in this episode.
I don’t think Simmons is going to join the “real” S.H.I.E.L.D., at least not in the expected way; she might join as a spy for Coulson like Bobbie and Mac did, but I don’t think she’s going to pick Gonzales over Coulson and the team. She might even help bring Bobbie onto Coulson’s side; I think Bobbie is heading that way already and along with Hunter she might come over, but Jemma could cement it. I think Bobbie should keep her questioning of Coulson because that makes for interesting debates if she poses other options to his plans at times.
I’d like to see Hartley back. The end scene with Skye’s powers was great, very “big screen moment”. I still have debates about Skye’s powers; I hope they don’t make her too powerful too fast. I do hope we see Gordon mention Skye’s mom and Skye realizes it so she can get more involving her; that could be a good moment.
