SYNOPSIS:
A mysterious force threatens Coulson's team when they bring in a safety inspector named Hannah Hutchins, who is blamed for an explosion that killed four technicians, and who Coulson believes has developed telekinesis from the explosion. After the plane makes an emergency landing, the team discovers that the mysterious force is actually one of the technicians named Tobias Ford who is trapped between Earth and "Hell" following the explosion. Tobias "targets" Hannah in order to protect her from those who would try to harm her. It is later revealed that Tobias caused minor safety issues and filed safety reports to get time with Hannah. One of his issues inadvertently caused the explosion. May manages to defeat Tobias and convinces him to let go, causing Tobias to disappear to an unknown location. Coulson tells more about May's difficult past and how he wants to help her recover. May later pulls a prank on Fitz, revealing that she is healing.

An interesting episode with a double-meaning - more mystery, more uncertainty about what expect powers might turn up, and an interesting surprise or three along the way:
1. The source of the telekinetic ability
2. The reason for the actions
3. May + Ward
And then some more interesting character development, this time about May - the story of her as the "cavalry", and then Coulson's recounting how it changed her. And then at the end we see something left of that.
While Agents of Shield is never going to reach the heights of Avengers Assemble, there's been a lot of thought and development behind all the characters, which comes out nicely, bit by bit.
