** TITLE CHANGE **

ASTONISHING CHANGES THROW COULSON’S TEAM INTO ALL NEW JEOPARDY, ON THE MIDSEAON PREMIERE OF “MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.” ON ABC

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” returns for a dynamic, action-packed second half of season two, TUESDAY, MARCH 3 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Editor’s Note: The episode title “Epidemic” has been changed to “Aftershocks.”

After discovering an alien city with ties to his resurrection, Coulson and his team destroyed it before the forces of Hydra could claim its secrets, eliminating the villainous Whitehall (Reed Diamond) in the process. But new threats to the world have arisen, including Skye’s father, Cal (Kyle McLachlan), who now seeks retribution against Coulson for stealing his revenge against Whitehall; a disturbing alliance between former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Ward (Brett Dalton) and Agent 33; the enigmatic Raina (Ruth Negga), who struggles with her transformation into something inhuman by the alien Obelisk and seeks vengeance; and Skye (Chloe Bennet), who developed mysterious new powers from the Obelisk but whose lack of experience with her new abilities may threaten the safety of those she loves.

Meanwhile, Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki) and Mack (Henry Simmons) begin the next phase of a plan which seems to have grave repercussions for Coulson and his team, who are unaware that there’s another mysterious force moving against them. And as Hunter (Nick Blood) is forced to make the biggest choice of his life, Coulson will find his mission threatened by this shocking endgame.

In the midseason premiere, “Aftershocks,” Coulson’s team must deal with the consequences of their war with Hydra as shocking revelations threaten to tear them apart, and Hydra makes a dangerous move that may involve a traitor in S.H.I.E.L.D.’s midst.

“Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” stars Clark Gregg as Director Phil Coulson, Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Grant Ward, Chloe Bennet as Agent Skye, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Nick Blood as Lance Hunter and Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi Morse.

Guest starring are Henry Simmons as Alphonso “Mack” Mackenzie, Ruth Negga as Raina, Adrian Pasdar as Brigadier General Glenn Talbot, Henry Goodman as Dr. Levy, Kyle Maclachlan as The Doctor, Jamie Harris as Gordon, Simon Kassianides as Sunil Bakshi, Donzaleigh Abernathy as Trip’s mom, Philip Labes as young Gordon, Dichen Lachman as Jiaying, Alvin Ing as Yat-Sen, Fred Dryer as Octavian Bloom, Kathryn Leigh-Scott as The Baroness, Joel Polis as The Banker, Kyle David Pierce as accountant, Maz Siam as The Sheikh, McKay Stewart as scientist #1 and David A. Jansen as agent.

”Aftershocks” was written by Maurissa Tancharoen & Jed Whedon and directed by Billy Gierhart.

    ReplyDelete
  3. i thought they meant an alliance between Ward, 33 and SHIELD not with Ward and 33 DAMN IT!!! i had such high hopes AARRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  4. And the action keeps coming in a good way! So many things to happen in the span of the one hour from the sounds of it but they have been really keeping up a fast, consistent pace this season it's been great.

    ReplyDelete
  5. When did Palicki get upped to regular?

    ReplyDelete
  6. eh and where's the "Adrienne Palicki upgraded to regular" news bit?!

    ReplyDelete
  7. uh, I'm so excited and jittery.And still 3 weeks left. I can't withstand anymore...

    ReplyDelete
  8. 3 weeks?! you're sure?

    ReplyDelete
  9. me too, they did a number on me with that. I had to read it twice.

    ReplyDelete
  10. This is gonna be awesome. Oh, and they finally upped Adrianne Palicki to regular. About time.

    ReplyDelete
  11. 2 weeks and 4 days ;) I will count hours, minutes and seconds soon ;) I'm so impatient.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Didn't even notice. Yay

    ReplyDelete
  13. yeah me too, to make sure. how awesome would it have been

    ReplyDelete
  14. holy crap it's basically here already!

    ReplyDelete
  15. i don't want to be a pessimist but maybe it's a mistake?

    ReplyDelete
  16. Palicki being promoted? I hope it isn't a mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  17. yup, maybe one day. I don't give up hope.

    ReplyDelete
  18. They changed the episode title? Kinda bummed, "Aftershocks" was both brilliant and punny. I hope that the news of Adrienne being promoted to regular are true, the team needs Mockingbird. Hell yeah for more ladies.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yay! I can't wait. I kind of liked Aftershocks as the title though. Skye's mom is back, too.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yay! I love all of this news except for the title change.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I guess
    it's in the "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. stars (...) Adrianne
    Palicki as Bobbi Morse" part of the text.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I doubt it is a mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Wait a moment, HOLY SHIT. Why is NO ONE talking about the fact that Skye's MOTHER has finally been given a NAME?! "Dichen Lachman as Jiaying", OH MY GODS.

    ReplyDelete
  24. The synopsis does list her under "the show stars" people, not "guest starring", so I don't think it's a mistake.

    ReplyDelete
  25. time flies (although it's still too long), but that also means that the next 12 episodes will be gone soon and we have to wait months again...*sigh*

    ReplyDelete
  26. Adrianne Palicki now a series regular. Hell yeah. The more we get of Bobbi Morse, the better.

    ReplyDelete
  27. The Baroness - the tie-in to the movie Captain America - Civil war.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I pointed that out before they changed the title

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh my god, if Adrianne Palicki being a regular is actually true I could not be happier. She's great in the role (such a badass) and I was so afraid that she wouldn't last longer. Seriously such good news I cant even believe it.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I love bobi and lance's banters.Glad to see we'll get to see more of her.Great news!

    ReplyDelete
  31. It's funny, Raina "who struggles with her transformation into something inhuman by the alien Obelisk and seeks vengeance" was the one who asked for it so eagerly.

    ReplyDelete
  32. She probably got transformed into something she doesn't like and is now pissed.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Yes to Adrianne becoming a regular! Wish Henry would be upped too but I'm really happy about this. And Skye's mom has a name!

    God, I need 2B in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ah, okay, sorry.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I feel so much glee right now. Tough! Our Skye got the cool power.

    ReplyDelete
  36. so many new faces in one episode... i'm a little concerend that we not getting enough character time from the "old" team

    ReplyDelete
  37. On any other show become a regular would be a good thing but this show is produced by Whedons. On Buffy, the episode they made the actress that play Tara a regular they killed off her character. I'm afraid of something like that happening again.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I knew they were going to do this with Raina. She was so gung ho about becoming an Inhuman and now it sounds like she's going to be horrified by what she's become. Poetic justice at its finest.


    Zero mention of what Fitz and Simmons are up to. I swear, Marvel purposely omit that stuff just to mess with me.


    When does Henry Simmons get promoted to regular? This show needs more Mack.

    ReplyDelete
  39. there's a definite hope that he will be back on the team right?

    ReplyDelete
  40. okay NOW i can be ecstatic about Adrianne Palicki, unless she's like Lyndsy Fonseca on Agent Carter

    ReplyDelete
  41. yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas , adrianne palicki is a regular , her character is the 2nd best thing after the amazing improvements in basically everything this season, so happy :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. why bring me down? LOL but yeah it's still crazy long

    ReplyDelete
  43. they did the same with Lyndsy Fonseca on Agent Carter

    ReplyDelete
  44. it IS pretty cool, how crazy would it be if she's alive even though we saw what happened to her but maybe she can heal fast next to not aging

    ReplyDelete
  45. surprised too, i wouldn't think she'd care

    ReplyDelete
  46. i miss that so much, i loved it when it was our core team, Ward included

    ReplyDelete
  47. i like that: poetic justice, and Mack's pretty much an alien racist

    ReplyDelete
  48. Joss isn't in charge of the show, though. Mo and Jed can be mean but they're not that mean.

    ReplyDelete
  49. as the saying says : be careful what you wish for

    ReplyDelete
  50. I doubt Marvel would let them kill off Mockingbird even if they wanted to.

    ReplyDelete
  51. In my view he will.And I will hang on to that hope until the end. He's my favourite character on AoS and in general.

    ReplyDelete
  52. The Baroness has a connection with Baron Zemo (Daniel Brühl), a character who will appear in that movie.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Adrianne as regular is the best news ever!!! I adore her and her character, so happy!

    ReplyDelete
  54. What is Bobbi and she working with mac........another traitor!

    ReplyDelete
  55. YES. Change approved. More Palicki is so, so approved. Can't wait to see what's going on with Bobbi and Mack. And Agent 33 and Ward for that matter; they're both wild cards, and that can only be fun.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Aww yiss! Bobbi being a regular is the best news.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yup, it's how we know the princesses are safe on OUAT too - Disney would not let that happen.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I did too -- I've already stopped tuning in. I'm not sure if I'll ever bother catching up on the last two episodes I missed and I don't know that I'll bother tuning in when it does come back.

    ReplyDelete
  59. um they made Ward into what he is, so they're a little bit mean

    ReplyDelete
  60. you consider 33 in the same level as Ward? isn't she full-on evil unlike Ward who's more good?

    ReplyDelete
  61. 33 was brainwashed. Ward was not, which he has said himself. And he knows she's brainwashed, so if he's not actually trying to help her break out of that and using her do what he wants, then that's pretty damn evil. And there's all the other bad things he's done while not brainwashed. So switch those around - Ward is the more evil one, while 33 is potentially the one still being used to do bad things more or less against her will. Although if he is trying to help her be not brainwashed anymore, then I'll give him points towards the whole redemption thing. The "disturbing alliance" thing sounds more like he's just using her though, and replacing himself for Whitehall in her poor brainwashed head.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Great news! I love Bobbi.

    ReplyDelete
  63. no i think he's going to help her, i'm still confused by the brainwashing, isn't it glitchy i mean Gill was coming back to himself before, well you know...

    ReplyDelete
  64. I think it's kind of hilarious. Serves her right, too.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Or he might have just found a way to snap out of it. Some event, or something to do with his powers, who knows? I personally don't hold a lot of hope for that, given how their team-up has been described, but I will give Ward credit if that's what happens. I just don't think it will.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Gill was Gifted, and that probably jacks with the brainwashing process. It may be more effective on regular humans like Agent 33.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Probably a flashback, though.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Imo that was one of the best decisions ever.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think it fits her character. She wanted to become someone special, perhaps get kick-ass powers or something, but the Terrigenesis clearly changed her appearance too, and we know that Raina has always been fond of her looks and used them a lot to get what she wanted.

    ReplyDelete
  70. so the brainwashing was only glitchy because Gill was Gifted?

    ReplyDelete
  71. Probably. But it WOULD be interesting to see someone with, for the lack of a better word, Wolverine-type powers.

    ReplyDelete
  72. that's true, i guess i saw her as a true fanatic of the Inhuman possibility that she wouldn't care what happened to her

    ReplyDelete
  73. why? and don't say he was boring i hate when people say that

    ReplyDelete
  74. Mmh...good question...

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'm clueless...

    ReplyDelete
  76. LOL, true but they're not as mean as Joss has proven himself to be.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Epidemic looks liek there is more than one people with new powers. Excited to see wha is become of Raina and her new path.
    What in the world are Bobbi and Mack working on?

    ReplyDelete
  78. THAT i can agree to LOL

    ReplyDelete
  79. Yesss! Adrianne is a series regular! So happy for her. Bobbi is one of my favorite characters ever and I can't wait to see her kick more ass in the second half of the season. Also, I'm very interested in seeing this Bobbi/Mack storyline come to a head. Wonder what they're hiding from Coulson and the team.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Pretty excited!

    (I haven't been particularly enamored with Adrianne or her take on Bobbi, but I was expecting her to be promoted anyway)

    ReplyDelete
  81. How exciting. I like Bobbi, and I've been very worried she'd just go away, so this is a nice surprise.

    ReplyDelete
  82. This is far better, ward needs to earn that for it to be good writing.

    ReplyDelete
  83. YAY!!!! Best news ever. So glad that Adrianne is now a regular cast member. Now, we just need our show back on TV. Can't wait :)

    ReplyDelete
  84. Ward is NOT good.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Confirmed by ABC.

    ReplyDelete
  86. And ABC changed the title back to Aftershocks, lol

    ReplyDelete
  87. Personally, I would have preferred Henry over Adrianne to be honest.

    ReplyDelete
  88. i'm completely glad that they did

    ReplyDelete
  89. so was Lyndsy Fonseca on Agent Carter and she's just recurring

    ReplyDelete
  90. Oh god we're so screwed I can't wait

    ReplyDelete
  91. Firstly yay for Adrianne becoming a regular, seemed the most logical thing really.


    Secondly I'm very intrigued by what Bobbi, Mack and by extension Hunter are up to now. I assumed it was that Bobbi and Mack were secretly reporting back to Hill or Fury but this makes it seem a bit more serious.


    Finally I love that Raina is going to be all bitter and pissed off, from what we saw at the end of the last episode she is clearly transformed into something hideous and as a person who has previously always looked great and worn lovely dresses, I'm guessing she isn't happy at this at all.

    ReplyDelete
  92. and I think Skye is now Agent Skye was that there before?

    ReplyDelete
  93. um why? because he's not with the team, has he tried to kill them? stop their missions?, NO! so he's not evil but he's good maybe not not full hero good more of an anti-hero

    ReplyDelete
  94. maybe she's a snot otter LOL

    ReplyDelete
  95. He almost caused the death of FitzSimmons and that has left Fit permanently damaged. He killed Koenig and Hand without giving it a second that. He allegedly killed his brother and parents. (no matter what happoened in his childhood, that doesn't justify that.) And you still think he's not evil?


    I just don't understand Ward supporters/apologizers.

    ReplyDelete
  96. throwing them off the Bus was their ONLY shot at surviving garrett, and the reason is becuse he was abuse his entire life

    ReplyDelete
  97. Yeah, they barely survived. For all he knows, they were certainly going to die. And suffering abuse is no excuse to murder someone.

    ReplyDelete
  98. what would have rather have happened? Grant letting them out of the box, try to fight garrett and then all three of them dying in the process? There was no way in hell that they could've survived if that happened and don't forget emotionally brainwashed maybe not like 33 but brainwashed either way

    ReplyDelete
  99. You must have paid too much attention to Brett Dalton's pretty face and abs to notice the part where Agent 33 was brainwashed by Hydra (as in LITERAL brainwashing, unlike Ward, no matter what the apologists/shippers claim).

    ReplyDelete
  100. I wanted them both (and BJ).

    ReplyDelete
  101. She's not doing it for me... So even though I was expecting it, I don't really care...


    Don't get me started on BJ's situation. Still super bummed he's gone :(

    ReplyDelete
  102. Don't bother. You're arguing with people who substitute the actual content of the show with their favorite SkyeWard fanfiction to support their claims. No amount of logic is going to help.

    I wonder what the same folks would be saying if Ward was being played by, say, Patton Oswalt. I've a sneaking suspicion they wouldn't be quite so forgiving towards his actions in that case.

    ReplyDelete
  103. You got that right. I wanna repeatedly hit my head against a wall when I read their justifications for Ward's acts.


    And, lol, that would be totally true.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I just noticed Talbot in the guest list. So looks like he is not dead after all.

    ReplyDelete
  105. There and back again hahahaahahah

    ReplyDelete

    I hope that full time Bobbi Morse = better Bobbi Morse. Before I get ganged up let me explain:

    Mobbi Morse is "Mocking Bird" She's an AVENGER!. Or at least she will be (eventually). If that's the case then she should be MUCH, MUCH better than everyone else on the SHIELD team. That's because the Avengers are the elite. The cream of the crop.

    Do you remember when Lady Sif came after Lorelei and they had the road house bar surrounded: Coulson told all of the SHIELD agents to hold back and let Sif go in alone. With Mockingbird it should be similar to that. She should be able to go into any room and mop up by herself. She's that good, or rather she should be.



    The way Bobbi Morse is coming across now isn't bad: it's good. It is. But it should be POW AWESOME! and it isn't. Her first appearance with the Hydra guards in the corridor when she saved Simmons was impressive but after that its been just OK. She should be noticeably more skilled, advanced and formidable than her team mates and right now she's just one of the team.

    ReplyDelete
  107. March 3 needs to get here RIGHT NOW! So excited for the second half of the season!


    I'm glad Adrianne Palicki is a regular now, I was always worried they'd kill her character off. And we need more Mockingbird kicking asses with her eskrima sticks.

    ReplyDelete
  108. When I pointed out that the whole "Ward was trying to save FitzSimmons by ejecting them out of the plane" argument is BS anyway because HE captured them and brought them to the plane in the first place, the reply I got was: "Someone obviously spotted them so he went to get them." The level of ridiculousness they would go to in order to polish Ward's image is difficult to believe.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Am I really the only person bothered by the fact that there's absolutely no mention of Trip?

    ReplyDelete
  110. So true.

    And all the "stand with Ward" crap on twitter is so ridiculous. And it drives me up the wall well people compare him to Romanoff.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Like @Alex Forrest, he was the one who captured them both.

    ReplyDelete
  112. I would truly love Skye and Ward to be endgame but for now I don't think its going to happen and I have a sneaking suspicion that Luke Mitchell's character might be Skye's new love interest!!

    ReplyDelete
  113. I'm glad. More fitting title.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Not too mention killing those two Shield men at the Fridge, helping release all the dangerous people there and helping Hydra get all the dangerous tech, and killing/injuring (at best) those Army troops sent to bring him in.

    Agent 33 has no choice in her actions due to the brainwashing, he willingly chose to kill.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Since at best it's just going to be them talking about his death why would they mention it. There's little comparison to say Bobbi/Mack up to something (betraying the team maybe) for example.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Yasss, so glad to see Adrianne promoted to regular! More and more Bobbi yes!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Who could she be seeking vengeance against? She did it all to herself.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Well, he's a lot more interesting post-heel turn, that's for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Yes, she did. But I think she will be undiscerning and blame others for what happened to her. Maybe she will direct her vengeance against Shield and Skye, who got away much better than she did. Or maybe she will surprise us...we will find out.

    ReplyDelete
  120. That wouldn't make sense. SHIELD and Skye were trying to stop her from going through with this. I could see her holding a grudge against Cal though.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Well, he's dead, so he probably won't be doing anything in the episode, or appearing in it. Is there a reason why he WOULD be mentioned?

    ReplyDelete
  122. Of course it wouldn't make sense to us but if she'll be undiscerning and delusional she might do something senseless. But Cal is a very possible option.
