[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”27492″ img_size=”579×325″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]We have reached the penultimate episode for Marvel’s Agents of Shield Season 6. Episode 11 sets the stage for next week’s 2-hour exciting season finale. So let’s see what we learned
From the Ashes
Calling Dr. Benson
What is Sarge?
Meanwhile, Deke and Fitz-Simmons are trying to figure out a way to defend the team from Izel’s ability to possess them. It would be the only way for them to get close en
ough to stop her. At the same time, they are monitoring Sarge in his containment cell. As they work, and despite their best efforts thus far, they are unable to hypothesize how Izel’s powers work. Without understanding how she manifests them, they can’t find a way to neutralize her abilities.
Not a Cure for Your Loneliness
May interrogates Sarge In her effort to draw the Coulson side out. It is her hope that if she can somehow extract his memories, it will draw that side of him that is Coulson to the forefront. For his part, Sarge insists that the memories he is experiencing have no meaning. He is not the Coulson May remembers and in fact, they are not HIS memories. Sarge reasserts: “I am not the cure for your loneliness!” He emphasizes that when in a moment of rage, he pounds the metal table, leaving a sizable dent in the metal as May leaves him.
Upon leaving Sarge, May talks to Daisy who agrees with Sarge’s assessment. She believes he is NOT Coulson. Instead he is something else entirely. He is a weapon. One that she believes is strong enough to stop Izel. The question remains: What are his abilities? What is he hiding? May tells her if she does what she is planning, and it goes sideways, it’s on Daisy.
In Search of the Temple
You Mean Nothing to Me
Meanwhile at the lighthouse, Daisy takes her turn at questioning Sarge, focusing on what is inside him and what he did to the table. He again questions if Daisy has “Daddy Issues” with his Coulson shell. She rebukes his comment telling him he means “nothing to her,” but then leaves the room. Afterwards, she talks again with FitzSimmons and they again tell her they are not close to finding a way to combat her abilities. She tells them they must because she is getting no where with Sarge.
Jemma questions if her difficulty getting through to Sarge is because she is not listening to what he has to say. She explains that in the past, whenever things got to hard to bare, Daisy had a pattern of not facing it. She went on the search to find Fitz because she didn’t want to face that Coulson was gone. Now she is staring him, or what looks like him, in the face. She reminds Daisy they are there for her.
The Letter
Facing Thomas
Returning to the Zephyr, Izel uses the gravitonium orb containing the monoliths’s energies to create what Benson does fear the most, his dead husband, Thomas. He slowly materializes and points the finger at Benson for his accident and for choosing to take him off of life support. Izel was able to threaten Benson not with his own death but with having to face Thomas over and over again and the grief that comes with it. Unable to bare that pain, Benson breaks and gives Izel the location of the temple.
While unable to prevent Izel from coercing the location of the temple, Mack and YoYo are able to create a distraction for Izel that allows Benson to escape within an escape pod. Izel reveals that since she already has the temple’s location from Dr. Benson, it is of no importance. Mack however, says that with Benson free, he will give the SHIELD team the location. Izel hopes that is true. Her people will require host bodies once she has opened the door to allow them to cross over into our world.
Sarge Awakens
His Inner Coulson
Blocking the Body Snatcher
The Return of Flint
A New Mission, New Targets
In the end scene, we return to the Chronicoms. Altarah tells the Chronicom hunters that their planet, Chronyca-2 can be saved. However, the hunters want to conquer a new world and designate it Chronyca-3. When Altarah protests, they kill her and set out with a new mission and a new set of targets. But what are those targets and what role might Enoch play?
So there we are. We have three different factions in play: Izel and her phantom friends, Daisy, May, perhaps Sarge/Coulson and the Shield team, and the Chronicoms with their mysterious agenda. What will transpire and whose side will Sarge/Coulson take? We have a two-hour final to figure it all out. Are you ready to see how Season 6 wraps up? Especially since we know that next season is the last for Marvel’s Agents of Shield? Share your thoughts on From the Ashes and all of Season 6, here on GeekVibesNation.
