Producers threw a wicked twist in Paradise Lost.
Hive (Brett Dalton) revealed his true appearance in the latest Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
A horrific Hydra ceremony uncovered.
The secret of Gideon Malick (Powers Boothe) exposed.
Stephanie Malick seemed destined to become the bride of Hive, perhaps give birth to this Inhuman’s heir.
But just when you think Malick was finally getting the ultimate punishment…
SPOILER ALERT!
If you have not seen this week’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. yet stop reading now.
OK.
Here it comes.
Flashbacks revealed Hydra sent human sacrifices through the “liquid rock” from earlier seasons to Maveth to be devoured by Hive via a lottery. The young Gideon betrayed his brother and saved himself like their father.
Malick’s sin came back to haunt him. Hive may be wearing Grant Ward’s body now but he once inhabited his betrayed brother’s body.
Nathaniel Malick got his revenge and showed his brother the ultimate lesson in “sacrifice” when he kissed Stephanie and killed Gideon’s daughter.
With Gideon Malick more unnerved than ever and seeing what he’s unleashed…will the cold villain turn on Hive and join forces with Phil Coulson to bring down the Inhuman?
Hive finally gave a glimpse of his true self to his followers.
The story turns to Daisy and her united team of Secret Warriors next week.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.airs Tuesdays at 9 pm on ABC.
