From Wiki:
While at a S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy, Ward, Fitz, Simmons, and Skye investigate an attack upon Seth, a popular cadet, with an "ice machine", a device that can freeze people and their surroundings. During their time there, another ice machine freezes cadet Donnie Gill though the agents are able to save him. While the rest of the team interrogates the other cadets, Fitz befriends Donnie, seeing much of himself in him and helping him solve a problem with a new power source Donnie has invented. Meanwhile, Coulson and May head to Mexico City to find a former agent named Richard Lumley, who tells them of a mission 24 years earlier involving an 0-8-4, which turned out to be Skye, who apparently has some sort of superhuman abilities. The team deduces that the cadets are building a bigger ice machine for Ian Quinn. With the better power source, Seth and Donnie give Quinn a demonstration, creating a massive ice storm. Though the team apprehends Donnie, Seth is killed by the storm, and Donnie gains apparent cryokinetic abilities. Later, Coulson calls Quinn, who is revealed to have connections to the "Clairvoyant".
An episode more memorable for the Skye subplot, not least the apparent truth of her origin - and all the further questions that raises. My personal presumption at this point is that The Clairvoyant has predicted that Skye will bring down their organisation - or some otherwise important future act - hence why she must be killed - rather than some special mutant ability. However, why would SHIELD categorise the baby as an 084?
The campus tension seemed to fade to nothing - "Oh, no, a superstorm! We're all in great danger!" (Pause) "We'll just stay inside and let it pass".
