May barges in and interrupts their conversation. Nevertheless, Andrew fantasizes about blowing a giant hole in his chest. Joey seems like a genuinely good person who wants to help S.H.I.E.L.D. He has the Magneto power to manipulate metal, and has made great strides in being able to control his abilities. You may recall Joey from the season premiere.

headquarters, May is told that Andrew is off-site at a training facility called the Cocoon, where he’s evaluating a recent Inhuman recruit named Joey to determine if he’s ready for field duty. By the time she gets back to S.H.I.E.L.D. I’m sure she justifies this as trying not to set him off or put anyone else in danger, but it seems needlessly risky to me. Some of the Inhumans he’s killed or tried to kill haven’t really done anything bad at all.Įven though May has been told Andrew’s secret, she frustratingly decides to keep this information to herself. However, it’s clearly a bit of moral equivocation on his part. That explains why he hasn’t killed Daisy yet. Although he has little control over his urge to kill Inhumans, he sees himself as judging the good ones from the bad ones and only taking out those who might be a threat. Also, from his perspective, what he’s doing isn’t evil at all. So, at least we know that Andrew wasn’t always evil. He later comes out of this cocoon a changed man.

This establishes that May believed she had a real shot at happiness with him. He always seemed like such a nice guy prior to this.Įpisode ‘Chaos Theory’ opens with a flashback to six months earlier, as May and Andrew took a vacation together to Maui. psychologist – as well as May’s ex-husband – Dr.

Fortunately, the show makes a stronger case for it this time.Īs we learned at the end of the last episode, the Inhuman-murdering monster known as Lash turns out to be the friendly S.H.I.E.L.D. After having already done that with Grant Ward in Season 1, ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’ pulls the stunt again this week, on a lesser scale. That generally involves a lot of desperate ret-conning that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

As a rule, I’m not a big fan of it when TV shows reveal a shocking plot twist that a longtime recurring character is secretly evil.
