Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Recap With Spoilers: Repairs

The episode begins in a small town, where a woman enters a convenience store to get some groceries. The man behind the counter, reading a newspaper article on which she’s featured, confronts her about the death of a man in an industrial accident where she was the manager. She tries to avoid the conversation, then to get out of the store, but the man won’t let her do either; eventually items begin flying off the shelves at him. When he tries to chase her down, entire displays start to hurl themselves at him while she tries to escape. Ultimately, he runs from her in fear. As he passes the newspaper rack, the papers are all on fire; the gas pumps outside are pouring gasoline out all over the parking lot, and it’s seeping toward the flames. The man flees and, while the woman hides in tears inside the building, the gas pumps explode.The episode makes no bones about the fact that Ward and May are sleeping together now; they’re at a hotel together when they get the call. Ward is very meticulous about his plans to avoid anyone else on the team figuring it out, but by the time he’s done explaining his plan, May has already just walked out the front door of his room.Back at HQ, Coulson is debriefing Skye on the mission–which is, essentially, to interview the woman (who survived) and determine whether she’s really telekinetic.
