- "Do you know where this temple is?"
"That's what the Diviner shows you. Only the worthy are allowed inside to witness its true power." - ―Skye and Raina
...Ye Who Enter Here is the ninth episode of the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Synopsis[]
S.H.I.E.L.D. discovers the ancient city before HYDRA, but uncovering the secrets may require one of Coulson's team to make the ultimate sacrifice. Meanwhile, Melinda May and Skye race to get to Raina before Daniel Whitehall takes her.
Plot[]
Skye has a dream
On the flight back from Australia to the Playground, Skye has a nightmare. In the dream, she's running through the Playground wearing a white midwestern flower dress. She then stops, as she hears the song "Daisy Bell" playing in the background. Suddenly, she finds herself in the lab, where Phil Coulson is looking at a strange box while holding a Chinese newspaper. When Skye tells him they have a mission to prep for, Coulson reaches for the box, which she pushes out of the way. The dream then cuts to Coulson and Melinda May who are preparing to abandon a baby despite Skye yelling at them to come back. She then finds herself holding the box which starts showing the symbols that Coulson carved, she then turns into stone. Her dream is stopped when Coulson wakes her up.
In Vancouver, Raina is at a coffee shop with her friend, Chad. She tries to convince him to take her to Shanghai, when she sees Melinda May. Raina tells the woman that the point of a Tracker was not to be stalked. Removing her shades, Agent 33 wearing May's face, tells her that Daniel Whitehall wants to talk to her. As Raina flees, Sam Koenig grabs her and uses the Cloaking Umbrella to hide her from HYDRA.
Meanwhile, Coulson preps his agents to find the hidden city. When Billy Koenig informed him that Raina was in trouble, Coulson decided to separate his agents into two teams, one to enter the city under San Juan, the other to protect Raina in Canada. Alphonso Mackenzie notices that Bobbi Morse and Lance Hunter are growing closer once again, so he asks her on the way to Puerto Rico if Hunter is replacing Isabelle Hartley on their mission. She tells him that Hunter does not know about it and will not be involved.
At the Vancouver safehouse, Skye is attacked by Agent 33; Hunter helps her to knock the HYDRA operative unconscious. While awaiting for May to extract them, Raina tells Skye that she could touch the Diviner without dying. When Skye reveals that Whitehall has the Diviner, Raina realizes that he wants her alive and tries to surrender; May prevents that from happening.
Phil Coulson and Bobbi Morse in San Juan, Puerto Rico
Morse's contact, Diego assists Coulson and his team with entering Castillo San Cristóbal, a garrison that was built above the hidden city, but Diego refuses to enter because of stories of it being haunted and that those who entered have never left. Leo Fitz decides to work for Jemma Simmons, but not with her, making her leader of the science team.
In the cloaked Bus, Antoine Triplett asks the Koenig brothers how many there were; they jokingly tell him thirteen but do not give a definitive answer. Raina tells Skye stories that her grandmother told her of the Kree and their desire to destroy humanity except for the chosen few selected by the Diviner. She lets Skye know that Skye's Father found her in Thailand and sheltered her. Raina then debunks Skye's belief that she is an alien. During the conversation, Raina reveals that if the unworthy enter the temple, they would die. However, before Skye could warn the San Juan team, four HYDRA Quinjets surround the Bus.
Alphonso Mackenzie goes crazy
The San Juan team find a hundred-foot shaft leading to the temple. Fitz sends his D.W.A.R.F.s into the hole, but they loose signal when they hit the bottom, so Mack is sent down to investigate. When he finds the dead drones, he runs his finger around to symbols on the ground, which then glows blue. His hand becomes tattooed with the same symbols which causes his extreme pain. When he is hoisted up, his eyes turn red as he tells Coulson to run before slapping him away. Morse fights the enhanced and mind controlled Mackenzie hand-to-hand until she could get to her battle staves. Mackenzie is able to resist I.C.E.R.s and blows from the team. Mackenzie throws Simmons into the shaft, but she is saved by Coulson. Fitz, holding a gun, pleads with his friend to stop his battle so he will not have to shoot. As Mack approaches Coulson and Simmons, Morse electrocutes him which causes him to collapse and fall back into the shaft. When Morse asks if they could save her friend, Coulson replies that the zombiefied man is not Mack.
Grant Ward takes Skye and Raina
Grant Ward traces the signal from Raina's tracker and boards the Bus to collect her. He finds himself surrounded by May's team, all holding their guns. Ward predicts that all would die if a firefight started; though the Koenig brothers have him in a crossfire, they do not shoot. Skye, remembering that Sunil Bakshi was captured because of him, tells Ward to pick a side; he assures her that he has. Ward promises that the four HYDRA Quinjets will not attack if Raina is relinquished to him. He also tells them he wants Skye too, so that he can bring her to her Dad. May angrily agrees.
Agent 33 reports to Whitehall that Ward has been successful in obtaining Raina, but he also captured Skye through his promise. Whitehall reminds her that Ward is not authorized to make such a promise and orders her to still attack the Bus.
