Agents of SHIELD keeps putting out great episodes this season. Last week’s wrap-up to the season premiere was a great one, giving us some solid character development while helping to feed some of the key mysteries that have been set up for this season. This week, the mysteries and the Obelisk were set aside as we finally learned what Simmons has been up to. We also got some stellar acting from Ian De Caestecker, who is the MVP of season 2 thus far, and a look at how all of our characters have changed and progressed since last season, and how the family dynamic of the team has shifted. We also saw the return of one of last season’s dangling threads, perhaps setting the stage for more returning characters from last year. So without further ado, let’s jump into “Making Friends and Influencing People” written by Monica Owusu-Breen and directed by Bobby Roth.
