When Marvel announced that Ghost Rider was coming to Agents of SHIELD… I figured it would be a couple episode arc where they try to capture him, they realize he's trying to do good and he ends up disappearing. Then we'd get back to the Inhumans story.
Nope.
How does Ghost Rider: Agent of SHIELD sound to you? The most recent episode has Phil Coulson and Alphonso 'Mac' MacKenzie capture Robbie Reyes after a car chase that pitted Lola vs Lucy. We also get the Inhuman James (Hellfire) vs Ghost Rider.
A few important things happened here. The team feels like it's coming back together with Daisy Johnson and Jemma Simmons working together, Leo Fitz doing tests on Agent Melinda May and everyone ending up together at the same place at the end. We also got the Coulson humor back… like the line after James and GR, battling each other with fire, drop into a fireworks shop and Coulson says: "You had to see that coming."
But the most important thing may have been a moment on the Quinjet when Coulson is talking to Daisy and Robbie. He shows them an image of the Darkhold, the ancient book of spells and evil, and tells them that the Inhuman stuff will have to wait, find the book is now the priority. I think this moment was for the viewers as much as to recruit those two. Folks are tired of the Inhumans. We've spent most of the series dealing with them when we weren't dealing with Hydra… and those two stories crossed over. It's time to put the team back together and focus on a new bad guy.
Oh, and there was of course the foreshadowing scene with AIDA and Doctor Radcliffe as he explains to her when it's okay to lie. I'm sure THAT's not going to come back to bite him in the ass later.
This was one of the better Agents of SHIELD episodes in a while. Here's hoping they keep on this new path.
