AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.: Secrets Are Uncovered In The New Promo For Season 5, Episode 15: "Rise And Shine"
They're baaaaack! As Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. heads into its possible endgame, an old adversary has resurfaced and now, Coulson may be facing the end of the world. Come check out the new promo now!
"Cut off one head, two more shall take its place. Hail Hydra!"
So, in an unexpected twist, tonight's closing moments revealed that General Hale (Catherine Dent) has actually been secretly working for the (unsurprisingly) still-active Hydra, who Coulson (Clark Gregg) and company had previously vanquished at the end of season three.
The true identity of who she's working for remains a mystery as the person was left in the shadows, but we did see him/her hand Hale a suicide pill that was very similar to the one used in the post-apocalyptic future, meaning that Hydra may, in fact, be the cause of the end of the world. In an post-episode interview with Entertainment Weekly, executive producers Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen teased, "Hydra’s goals are almost always based in helping people and building a better world for all!," before adding, Sarcasm, it’s hilarious. Coulson holds a lot of keys on his key chain and we can only imagine they want one of them.”
Watch the new promo for episode fifteen, titled "Rise and Shine," below:
COULSON DISCOVERS GENERAL HALE'S DARK SECRET, ON ABC'S 'MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.'
"Rise and Shine" - Coulson uncovers General Hale's true agenda, and it could be the end of the world if S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't help her, on "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," FRIDAY, MARCH 30 (9:01-10:01 p.m. EDT), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.
In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director (Jason O’Mara) to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack (Henry Simmons), and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. They have been trying to track down and capture Daisy (Chloe Bennet), aka Quake, who has gone rogue in an attempt to atone for sins from the past. But with the world believing that Daisy is a dangerous outlaw who has taken down banks and bridges, the new Director has no qualms about taking her down for good. Agent May (Ming-Na Wen) is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) have taken a big step forward in their relationship. But with Simmons’ new promotion as Special Advisor to the Director in Science and Technology, Fitz, as well as her former team members, finds it hard to confide in or trust her since she’s now the Director’s confidant.
