Yes Men

Yes Men is the fifteenth episode of the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Synopsis
When Coulson and his team are attacked by Lorelei-a deadly seductress who escaped from Asgard-Thor’s Lady Sif, her longtime nemesis, steps in to try to save them.

Plot
Lorelei ditches her previous victim for a biker whose gang she enslaves for her plans to create an army. While talking to Skye, who has finally awoken from her coma, the team is summoned by May to investigate an energy reading in the desert consistent with the imminent arrival of an Asgardian. They encounter Lady Sif, who has come to Earth seeking Lorelei. Reuniting with Coulson, she explains that Lorelei escaped imprisonment in Asgard during the attack of the Dark Elves and that to neutralize her power to control the minds of men, she must fit a special collar around Lorelei's neck that prevents her from speaking. The team and Sif travel to the biker bar Lorelei is using as a hideout, but during the battle, Lorelei enchants Ward and escapes with him. They go to Las Vegas, where Lorelei and Ward have sex in a hotel room, but when Coulson, Sif, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. team catch up, the two are nowhere to be found. They realize too late that Ward and Lorelei, planning to eliminate any threats to Lorelei's rule, have commandeered the Bus with help from an enchanted Fitz, who locks Sif in the interrogation room and imprisons Simmons in Skye's recovery room. Coulson, pretending to be under Lorelei's power as well, learns of Simmons' location and frees her. Lorelei encounters May and claims that Ward revealed to her that despite their sexual relationship, his heart is with someone other than May. Simmons and Skye help trick Lorelei into entering the interrogation room, where Sif confronts her; while they fight, May is forced to do battle with Ward. Sif finally manages to disarm Lorelei, and despite Lorelei's attempts to get Sif to kill her, Sif fixes the collar to Lorelei's neck, undoing her enchantment on Ward and Fitz. Sif thanks Coulson for the team's aid and says that she will bring Lorelei back to Asgard on Odin's orders, and let Coulson be the one to tell Thor he is not dead. May ends her relationship with Ward. Coulson goes to Skye and confesses that he discovered the drug used to revive them both was alien in origin based on his own suspicions and information provided by Sif. Despite how disturbed Coulson is by this fact, Skye remains optimistic, and Coulson swears that they will get answers, beginning by tracking down the Clairvoyant once and for all. He orders Skye to keep the origin of the drug a secret until Nick Fury gives them the truth. It is revealed that May is secretly monitoring Coulson when she makes a call and tells the party on the other end that "Coulson knows".

Trivia

 * In the comics, Lorelei was the sister of the Enchantress. Both possessed similar powers, both were enemies of Thor and allies to Loki.
 * In this episode, it is stated that Sif is under orders to bring back Lorelei to Asgard, and that those orders came from Odin himself. However, based upon Thor: The Dark World, we know this is not actually true. Odin is actually Loki using his powers to appear as Odin.
 * Sif mentions that she has in fact met many alien races, many of which where also blue - the same color as the unknown alien in the previous episode "T.A.H.I.T.I." One of those races, called the Kree, were also mentioned. The actual identity of the alien has yet to be revealed. Sif also names the Alpha Centaurians, a shout out to Yondu, a character in the upcoming Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy.
