Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. - Episode 14 Review

Agents of SHIELD's story arcs are being added to each week now, and I for one am glad. If a series has such a complex storyline, then almost all episodes should do something for it (something I wish the US version of The Tomorrow People would do). This episode of the series is no exception, and consequently adds to its brilliance.
After last week's shocking cliffhanger ending, its fantastic to see the characters working together (sans Skye) and to see their reactions. May beating the living daylights out of Ian Quinn is my personal favourite moment from her so far.
Its clear that this Clairvoyant all the bad guys are BFFs with is some kind of psychic and is almost certainly trying to use Coulson, but who is he or she? A popular theory is an Artificial Intelligence leading to next year's Avengers: Age of Ultron but we'll see. Its clear that whoever it is, it isn't relying on Quinn or Raina any more to do the dirty work, so what is it's aim?
The episode guest-featured Agent Garrett, who was an interesting character with ties with Ward and Coulson. His charm managed to give the episode a sense of fun that would otherwise be absent in the circumstances given.
It's heavy featuring in the mountain base worked, as well as posing many questions as to Coulson's resurrection. What was the body he found? Who owned the facility? And, most importantly, what exactly is the GH drug?
Its clear that this is another episode to add to the Coulson Lives storyline, and now we have to wait for next week to see how Skye is.
Overall, this episode was great. Incredibly difficult to review, but with its simply plot, shocking twists and fantastic CGI and sets, it definitely is a series highlight. 8/10
