Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1, episode 19, “The Only Light in the Darkness,” aired tonight and gave us goosebumps. Check out our recap and let us know what you thought!

Orientation
-Episode starts with a random man asking a stranger for a ride, but when he refused the random somehow turned off the guy’s car by waving at it, and then killed the man by touching him.
-Back on The Bus, Ward tells the team that Hydra was already at the Fridge when he got there, and that Quinn got away and he shot Garret in the back of the head.
-Ward wants Skye to upload the contents of the hard drive to their new headquarters to “back up” but Coulson gives Skye another mission instead.
-Skye looked at the database of the inmates and found the man from the beginning of the episode, Marcus Daniels.
-Coulson wants to split up the team to help find Daniels, but May doesn’t like that idea.
-Eric doesn’t want to let anyone from the team leave without going through orientation, which is answering questions through an intense lie detector chair, basically.

Good Test, Bad Test Giver
-Eric starts interviewing them all while they sit in the lie detector chair, and Skye’s given name is Mary Sue Poots!
-Coulson explains that Daniels can absorb energy, and he’s going to be really tough to stop. Yikes.
-After some intense interrogation, Ward passes the test by saying he came here for Skye, which isn’t a total lie.
-Fitz meets with Ward in the hallway, and Ward tells him to tell Simmons what’s on his mind. Bro, calm down it’s a friendSHIP!
-May meets with Coulson, and she explains again that she doesn’t know who was in charge of T.A.H.I.T.I. Coulson explains that Fury isn’t around anymore, and she needs to follow his orders or go elsewhere.
-On the plane to Portland, Coulson explains that Daniels is obsessed with a woman, Audrey, who was his only “light in the darkness,” and Simmons thinks it’s oddly romantic. We agree! They think that as long as they find that women, they’ll find Daniels.
-In Portland, the team finds her and manages to get her away from Daniels before trapping him with a bunch of light beams.
-Daniels is a lot stronger than they’d anticipated, and he shot them with some dark energy substance that blew them backwards before disappearing.

Departure
-Skye is with Eric when he finds out that the lanyards had trackers in them. She gets the idea from that to then hack the NSA to see the footage from the breakout, but Eric thinks it’s a bad idea.
-Ward comes in, and agrees to the idea when Eric changes his mind and also agrees after Ward tried to get Skye to decrypt the Fridge’s hard drive again.
-Meanwhile, in Portland Audrey explains that she’s scared of Daniels and she knows the team is now CIA, but S.H.I.E.L.D. She also points out that she was in love with Coulson before he died, and the team is like “whaaaa,” all while Coulson hears everything in the other room.
-Coulson doesn’t want to go in there because she’s finally moving on, but Fitz has an idea to draw Daniels out using her.
-On the bus, Ward was going to attack May when she gets a bag and she says that she’s leaving since Coulson can’t trust her anymore.
-Ward walks into Eric’s office, and he mentions that Skye got through the NSA’s firewall and has the footage from the breakout, which should be loading any minute. And Ward then closes the door. UGH. WARD.

So Many Reveals
-Simmons explains that they need Audrey to play the cello to draw Daniels to them, and Fitz prepares.
-Skye walks into the Eric’s office and he isn’t there, but Ward walks in and congratulates her for getting the feed.
-Ward tells her that May left, and that what he felt with her is different from what he feels with Skye.
-They start drinking and Ward says there are things about him she wouldn’t like, and that he’s not always good.
-Ward explains that when he was younger his brother would make him beat up his younger brother, but Skye is confident that he’s a good man. And they start making out, when she finds blood on his face and he says that one of his cuts must have opened up and walks away.
-Skye finds Eric’s iPad with where everyone is on the team, while Amy plays in the theater and attracts Daniels.
-Skye finds Eric dead on the roof and notices that Ward is coming to find her, while the team attacks Daniels with new light beams that Bruce Banner made, but they fail.
-Daniels goes toward them and uses his own beam to stop them from attacking Audrey, when Skye goes into a bathroom and freaks out about Ward.

Fakeout!
-Ward is on the lookout for Skye, who’s hiding in a bathroom and trying to find out what’s going on.
-Before Audrey wakes up, Coulson makes sure she’s alive before running off so she doesn’t find out.
-Skye confronts Ward in the hallway, but doesn’t let on that she knows. In fact, she kisses him!
-Ward says that they need to leave right that second, and takes Skye to the bus.
-On the plane back to the bunker, Coulson says that he wants to get things right with May. Aww.
-They get back to the bunker and the plane is gone, and they don’t know where anyone is.
-Meanwhile, Ward is taking Skye to the place where she can decrypt the hard drive.
-May is in Ontario, and gets picked up by her mom who gives her a file about Maria, who she’s looking for.
