Tonight's episode of Agents of SHIELD threw a major twist at fans by taking the Ghost Rider out of Robbie Reyes and giving him a new host.

SPOILERS for Agents of SHIELD Season 4, Episode 7: "Deals With Our Devils" follow.

"Deals With Our Devils" opened with Robbie Reyes, Phil Coulson, and Leo Fitz stuck in a realm between dimensions and unable to communicate with the rest of their team. The otherworldly being that is the Ghost Rider that has possessed Robbie up until now sense that he was being dragged back down to hell. It is not a feeling the Ghost Rider is happy about.

After making Robbie feel ill for a time, the Ghost Rider decides to evacuate Robbie's body. He quickly finds a new host among the SHIELD team, possessing Mack and immediately setting out to find the Eli Morrow.

The host swap doesn't last. Quake gives chase and Robbie, unbeknownst to Daisy as he is still spectral, rides along with her. When they arrive at a Chinatown gang hideout, Quake sets about dealing with the gangsters that Ghost Rider Mack hasn't already killed.

Robbie, still spectral, goes on ahead and catches up with Mack, but he finds Ghost Rider talking directly through Mack's voice and body. The Ghost Rider is unwilling to give up Mack, saying there's plenty of rage in Mack for him to feed on. Robbie reminds the Ghost Rider that they had a deal and he decides to make a new one: if the Ghost Rider will help Robbie deal with Morrow, Robbie will help Ghost Rider get repay any outstanding debts of vengeance he has on Earth, Hell, or any other plane.

The Ghost Rider agrees to this plan and leaves Mack to repossess Robbie and the two disappear while Mack regains his senses. However, it is clear that that Ghost Rider's possession left some lingering effects on Mack. After Coulson and Fitz return, Mack waits by the portal AIDA built for the occasion. Robbie and Ghost Rider come through ask Mack if he wants to help them settle their final score.

The story will continue in the Agents of SHIELD midseason finale episode, "The Laws of Inferno Dynamics," next week on ABC.
