Just in time, too Daisy got shot by a Watchdog on the way and needs medical attention.

As Simmons works on the wounded shoulder, Daisy passes her a blood-spattered piece of paper containing Inhuman data.

Daisy thinks she can stop it, but she needs to get in to the system herself.

Ive missed you, too, Simmons responds.

Meanwhile, someone is visiting the mysterious Uncle Eli in prison, but its not his nephew Robbie Reyes.

First up is Coulson, back in a suit now after the official S.H.I.E.L.D.

unveiling; hes curious about what Eli was doing at Momentum Alternative Energy Lab.

agent expected on his first try.

Mack recognizes him immediately from their previous run-in, and the chase is on: Lola vs. Ghost Rider.

Well, Robbie doesnt flame out, instead trying to use his powerful engine alone to outrace the S.H.I.E.L.D.

Game over, for now.

Daisy is also nervous.

Shes come up with a plan for Simmons to sneakily insert a flash drive into the S.H.I.E.L.D.

server that will allow Daisy to get inside and stop the Watchdogs.

Since Simmons is such a high-ranking agent now, that woman has to do whatever she says.

This plan works perfectly, and allows Daisy and Simmons to see the Watchdogs next target.

Prime among them: James, a.k.a.

only when she needs them.

Suck it up, Daisy; Simmons is coming along.

NEXT: Deals with the devil

Robbies now in a containment module.

Coulsons conversation with Robbie goes a bit like past ones with Daisy: Is he an Inhuman?

No, he made a deal with the devil and has the flaming eyes to prove it.

Well, sure, but only those who deserve it.

Coulson and Mack do a team huddle to go over Robbies story.

Mack believes in God, so its not a stretch to believe in devils and ghosts.

Coulsons a little more skeptical, since most of the gods he knows turned out to be aliens.

Daisy clearly trusts Robbie, though, and that goes a long way in Team Dads book.

Coulson decides to release Robbie from the module and make his own deal with the devil.

Daisy and Simmons find James at his new workplace: a fireworks shop.

He tells them to meet him by a nearby warehouse after work.

Robbie asks about Lucy, the initial ghost woman who started all this trouble.

Eli then beat Joseph into a coma for revenge a concept Robbie now understands quite well.

Just then, speak of the devil, ghost Lucy is visiting the comatose Joseph.

May is getting grumpy about still being stuck in Radcliffes lab, and swears in Chinese under her breath.

AIDA effortlessly translates it, which makes May wonder how she knows Chinese.

This mishap aside, May says she likes AIDA: all business, no nonsense.

Later, she asks Radcliffe why Fitz lied about her.

Shes programmed not to lie isnt that because lying is bad?

Well, Radcliffe explains that lies arent inherently bad.

They can even save lives sometimes.

And in this case, Fitz may very well have saved AIDAs life.

This plotline running alongside the first season ofWestworldcertainly makes for a disquieting comparison.

NEXT: Hellfire and brimstone

Simmons and Daisy meet James at the warehouse, as instructed.

As she aches from newfound arm pain, James quickly blows away their cover.

He even finds a big ol chain in the locker with them.

Huh, he notes, upon seeing the chain.

When James throws it at him, he grabs it and throws it right back.

Daisy and Simmons run off to meet Coulson and Mack.

Had to see that coming, Coulson notes, genre-savvy as ever.

The result is a giant explosion that also sets off a bunch of beautiful fireworks.

Robbie quickly emerges from the rubble, dragging a chained-up James behind him seared, but still breathing.

The episodes closing feels more like a whole scene unto itself than a typical tease for whats next.

The gang is back together now, mostly.

This episode brought several plot threads together, but had to spend a lot of time mired in exposition.
