S.O.S. Part Two

S.O.S Part Two is the second episode of the two-part season finale of the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the forty-fourth episode overall.

Synopsis
S.H.I.E.L.D. puts everything on the line to survive a war that blurs the line between friend and foe. Coulson and his team will be forced to make shocking sacrifices that will leave their relationships and their world changed forever.

Plot
At the Playground, Calvin Zabo's heart suddenly stops due to the drugs he took from the three vials. Simmons manages to save him by injecting adreneline into his body. The drug turns out to be the missing ingredient in his formula as he awakens up with super strength and a lot of anger. He rampages around the base before Coulson manages to pin him to the wall with a S.H.I.E.L.D. SUV. Coulson talks with Cal and tells Cal that he wants the best for Skye too. He helps Zabo realize that Jiaying is the one getting in the way of Skye and happiness. Cal finally agrees to help Coulson and his team to stop Jiaying.

Meanwhile, Grant Ward, unhappy that torturing Bobbi Morse will not succeed in getting an apology out of her, decided to do something that will hurt her: hurting someone else. Ward rigs the door to the room Bobbi is in by placing a gun behind herthat will fire at the first person who opens the door. Ward turns on Bobbi's phone so that Lance Hunter and Melinda May can track her and find her. May, Hunter, and other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents appear on the scene, oblivious to the trap. Kara Palamas manages to kill one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and steal their radio. May devises a plan to defeat Ward and Kara. She tells the agents to meet somewhere using the radio. Kara, overhearing the call, uses the Photostatic Veil to put on her "May" disguise to meet the agents. Ward runs into Kara, disguised as "May" and immediately shoots her several times before realizing who he just killed. Hunter finds Bobbi's room, opening the door only to... have his life saved by Bobbi! Bobbi, unable to warn Hunter, had leaned over in front of the gun and took the bullet in her shoulder. May and Hunter rush back to HQ with Bobbi while Ward escapes.

In Afterlife, Jiaying establishes her authority by showing that she is willing to kill anyone who gets in her way. Skye watches Jiaying murder Raina, who claimed her visions showed destruction of the Inhumans if Jiaying continued to lead them. After Skye realizes how insane her mom has become, she refuses to fight with the Inhumans. As the Inhumans proceed to attack the Illiad, Skye is locked up with things around her arms that prevent her from using her powers. Mack, who stayed back on the ship after finding out that Robert Gonzales was dead, finds Skye and rescues her so that they can defend the ship together.

As the Inhumans take the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship, they plan to use the Terrigen Crystals to transform (or simply kill) as many S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as possible. Coulson and the team arrive at the scene, where Mack and Skye are busy trying to stop Jiaying. Skye finds Lincoln, who was having doubts about what Jiaying was doing. Skye was on the verge of convincing him to help when Mack runs in and knocks Lincoln out. When Cal finds Jiaying and confronts her, Gordon comes and teleports Cal into a locked closet.

Coulson, Mack, and Fitz find the Terrigen Crystals in the ventilation room, and Fitz busies himself with setting up a trap using disrupters that will prevent Gordon from teleporting out of the room. When Gordon teleports in, a 3-against-1 fight begins, with Coulson armed with a giant wrench, Mack with a fire ax, and Fitz with a pipe against Gordon's limited teleporting powers. It's Fitz who lands the killing blow (accidentally) when Gordon teleports, solidifying impaled by the pipe. The Terrigen Crystal in his hand falls to the ground and Coulson saves the day by catching it inches above the ground. His arm slowly turns to stone before Mack... CHOPS OFF HIS HAND!!

Skye finds Jiaying on the ship's deck and confronts her after using her powers to sink a plane preparing to leave witht eh Terrigen Crystals. Jiaying is willing to kill her own daughter, and almost manages to before Cal comes the the rescue and kills Jiaying with his bare hands (and super strength).

The episode ends with Cal undergoing the "T.A.H.I.T.I." project and losing his memories and becoming a veterinarian. Skye starts a super-powered faction of S.H.I.E.L.D., May takes time off from S.H.I.E.L.D to make amends with Andrew Garner, and Ward becomes the new leader of H.Y.D.R.A. Fitz and Simmons' newfound relationship is cut short when Simmons is sucked into the mysterious Kree stone because Fitz accidentally opened the box.
