"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Season 4 Episode 8, "The Laws of Inferno Dymamics," is literally playing with fire and presents earth-shaking revelations to keep fans at the edge of their seats anticipating what comes next. That twist in the end forebodes of a new arc in the series.
Inverse.com did not miss pointing out the show's reference to Ultron and the Sokovia Accord when Coulson (Clark Gregg) confessed to S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Jeffrey Mace (Jason O'Mara) that AIDA (Mallory Jansen) is actually an android. Still, AIDA gets another mission with S.H.I.E.L.D. with the Director mentioning that she'd be dismantled after. While the episode centers on the team's struggle to end the problem in Eli Morrow (Jose Zuñiga) and his growing powers, this first scene is neatly tied up with the twist at the end involving AIDA.
In an interview with Collider.com, executive producers Jed Whedon and Jeffrey Bell reveal that the Life Model Decoy (LMD) program is set to create an interesting play between characters and what's real against what (or who) is not. Forbes divulged that AIDA has taken captive the feisty Agent Melinda May (Ming Na Wen) but has released an LMD version of May. How then will this affect the existing trust issues of the team? Can we trust Coulson to know May enough to realize that they have a fake in their midst?
Meanwhile, S.H.I.E.L.D. continues to struggle with trust. Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet) had gone rogue because of this. She has now rejoined the team reluctantly but keeps everyone at arm's length. Director Mace finally sheds his coat and tie to join the team in the field as an armored inhuman, after Coulson reminds him that S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to be a team to defeat Eli. On the other end of the trust spectrum, shippers can finally rejoice at the kiss by Alphonso 'Mack' Mackenzie (Henry Simmons) and Elena 'Yo-Yo' Rodriguez (Natalia Cordova-Buckley) sealing their pairing.
However, much love has been lost between Robbie Reyes (Gabriel Luna) and Eli. ComicBook.com reports that Robbie confronts his uncle but the latter has enough powers to stop him from turning into Ghost Rider twice over. He eventually succeeds with the help of the team, but he sacrifices himself to be sucked into the alternate dimension with Eli to avoid letting his power-crazed uncle escape.
What is AIDA planning with May? What's next for Phil and his team? Fans will have to wait until January to find out.
