Escape from the Twilight Zone
Now THAT was one hell of an episode, True Believers.
Now we pick up right where we left off.

In her absence, May wants to use the newly recovered Darkhold to try and rescue their missing friends.
Mack thinks thats a bad idea, but hes getting a little antsy himself.
Luckily, Gabe has Daisy there to cheer him up.
Daisy is well-acquainted with loss at this point, and knows the feeling when someones gone this isnt it.
Gabe notes that if Robbie were here, hed go straight after Eli.
NEXT: There they are!
Its a really fun effect.
Now, the three of them are getting sucked into the hole.
Theres a lot to freak out about here, but Fitz naturally worries most about Simmons.
The Ghost Rider spirit, however, is not even taking that chance.
Daisy takes Robbies car and heads out in pursuit.
Robbie invisibly hops in beside her, deciding this might be his last best chance to take out Eli.
In Simmons absence, Mace has sent the relevant technology and information to Radcliffe and AIDA.
Finally, AIDA steps forward and offers to read the book herself.
May tells her to go for it.
He grabs one poor thug and demands he talk using Ghost Rider eyes.
Ive escaped it before.
Im never going back.
The president didnt take kindly to Coulson keeping S.H.I.E.L.D.
Fitz is still mostly mad and sad about Simmons.
Simmons, of course, is handling herself just fine.
The heartbeat slows, and the cocoon starts to crack.
Coulson notices their sepia-toned liminal state is slowly getting darker.
They must be getting dragged down further into the abyss.
Suddenly, a real hole opens and Coulson starts getting dragged in.
Robbie, meanwhile, is trying to convince the Ghost Rider spirit they need to stop Eli.
There is no we, the spirit responds from within Macks body.
Thats good enough for Ghost Rider, which leaves Macks body and disappears with Robbie.
Mack crumbles, but later recovers and waits by AIDAs portal until Robbie comes through.
Robbie asks for Macks help settling his last score.
Now that hes a human again, the first thing Fitz does is confront Mace about Simmons.
The episode ends on a bit of a dark note, however.
As Radcliffe celebrates their victory, AIDA is busy reading more of the Darkhold.
It was a long wait, but Id say this episode was worth it.
