Team Coulson proves their mettle without Agent Coulson in the intense opening sequence to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11.
A new sneak peek has been released from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11, giving fans a look at the episode’s exciting opening sequence. The episode, titled “The Magical Place,” will mark the return of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. from its winter hiatus – and promises to solve more than one pressing mystery.
In the sneak peak, released on the show’s official Facebook page, Agent Coulson’s team chases down a criminal named Vanchat (Aiden Turner) who deals in alien metals.
The opening sequence of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11 begins with this Vanchat fellow selling Chitauri scrap metal to a well-heeled client. The deal is interrupted by Agents May and Ward, who send in flash-bomb and attempt to apprehend Vanchat. Vanchat initially escapes May, but is forced into the elevator by a squad of FitzSimmons’ D.W.A.R.V.E.S – used in a combat scenario for the first time. Skye then hacks the elevator, shooting Vanchat up to the roof where he is greeted by a new team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and Victoria Hand. Hand tells him that she hopes Vanchat can help them “find a friend.”
The friend in question is almost certainly Agent Coulson, who is conspicuously missing from the mission after being captured by Centipede in episode 10, “The Bridge.”
Though we know that Coulson’s team will be desperate to rescue their absent leader, it’s interesting to see that S.H.I.E.L.D. is similarly concerned. The organization has been shown to posses a shady moral compass, so we can’t help but wonder whether their concern is for Coulson’s safety, or the secrets about his mysterious resurrection that Centipede is convinced he can divulge.
The official synopsis for Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 11 focuses on that much-coveted information.
Coulson uncovers vital information about the mystery of his death, but, with Centipede out for blood, this knowledge may come at the cost of one of the team.
