Be careful what you wish for could be the theme for the mid-season return of this superhero sci-fi series.

Raina, transformed by the mists, goes on a rampage against Simmons’ staff who are preparing to flood what’s left of the alien city.

Now resembling something of a human porcupine, Raina is enraged when she meets Skye’s father Cal and says Skye got the transformation she dreamed of.

“A lifelong dream is lifelong,” he declares, adding there is no fix for her state.

Fitz is distressed by Skye’s blood test results, while Skye is distressed that when she is distressed, things start shaking.

My favourite, Ming-Na Wen’s Agent May, gets some Hong Kong- style gunplay during an otherwise hammy shoot-out staged to confuse Hydra.
