Agents of SHIELD took a week off and returned with an exciting episode that took a big step forward for some of the big story arcs of the season. The last episode moved some of the key pieces around but this week gave us some big forward momentum along with a healthy dose of revelations, with presumably more to come. We learned some new information about the Guest House, the alien, and TAHITI, not to mention a solution to the alien writing puzzle. Ward got to stretch his wings, setting out on a plan that kept me guessing throughout the whole episode. In all, it was a fast-paced episode that set the ball rolling for the second half of the first half of season two (the second quarter?) going into the winter. So let’s jump into “The Writing on the Wall,” written by Craig Titley and directed by Vincent Misiano.
