Repairs

Repairs is the ninth episode of the television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Synopsis
Coulson and his team are haunted by a ghost that threatens to destroy them all, and only a secret from May's past can save them.

Plot
A mysterious force threatens Coulson's team when they bring in a StatiCorp safety inspector named Hannah Hutchins who is blamed for an explosion that killed some technicians at StatiCorp's Particle Acceleration Complex where it is believed that she has manifested telekinesis by Coulson. Fitz and Simmons plan a S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy-style prank on Skye revolving around May's past.

After the plane makes an emergency landing, they soon discover that the mysterious force is actually a Particle Acceleration Complex worker named Tobias Ford who is trapped between Earth and "Hell" (which Tobias believes that he is being dragged to) following the explosion and is targeting Hannah to protect her from those who would try to harm her as he accidentally caused the explosion to get time with Hannah. After Ford defeats Ward, May manages to defeat him at a nearby barn and convinces him to let go, causing Ford to disappear to an unknown location.

Skye is thanked by Coulson for identifying Tobias Ford and getting to know more about May's past. Coulson's team plays a game of Upwords as Fitz comes in with shaving cream on his face, unaware that May was the one who pulled that prank.
