So, for some reason everyone seems to have skipped this thread to go straight to the one for episode 18. Doesn't anyone have any theories or speculation to offer on what happened in Bahrain, why May is "The Cavalry" or if Eva Belyakov is in any way a comicbook character?

Would be nice to see who the person with powers they were up against. Did May kill them before rescuing everyone or did they get away?

It's the little girl .I remember the story being that she was the one with the power .

If I remember correctly the little girl (Katya, apparently) was a victim or hostage of the person with powers (Eva Belyakov, I think, the woman in the promo "looking for pain").

It seems like last season (though maybe I'm mis-remembering) there was an 'unwritten rule' that a thread for the next episode wasn't to be put up/created until the previous episode aired. So ideally the EP 18 thread wouldn't have been created until this one, 17, had aired. Kind of wish we'd stick to that.

As for this episode... I'm excited to get more info on what exactly happened in Bahrain Can't wait

 

[Brownbear]

Agent May is just so bad ass, finally a Melinda May centric episode, we've been hearing about the Calvary since season 1, time to find out what happened!

 

[ctsketch]

Whatever it is...she deeply regrets it

 

[The Shrike]

Whatever it is...she deeply regrets it

Maybe she was forced to shoot the gifted person who was endangering everybody's lives, and in the process she plugged the little girl too?

This seems like an odd time for a backstory episode
with so many threads going on and the action ramping up leading into the last few episodes, I really hope this isn't just a flashback episode and has some real bearing on the current storylines

 

[reddog271]

as strong as this season is going. I trust they are doing this for a very good reason. it must tie very well into the inhuman story and why she's leaning towards working with nuShield

May and Skye ? The possibly different ways she views how to deal with someone Gifted or Powered seen as a threat .If she went in there just to kill this kid which is why she took it so hard afterwards and how would she treat her and Phil's protege in the same situation.
Her and Bobbi seem to be having the same struggle here .Would May flip to pointySHIELD ?

Seriously though .Bet it's some charity for orphans from what happened in Bahrain.Mr May is a boy scout so its gonna be something on the up and up.

If it's connected to the debate about what to do with enhanced individuals, I think it makes sense to explore it now.

dam loads in that. May getting lied to, a flip from about this time last year.
bit out of the blue and sort of undermines how we where led to believe, dependent coulson is on may. what if its just to store all the koenings. Could be kree blood related, could be some sort of fury shenanigans, if its on the up it might answer why he didn't recruit a whole tier of shield agents, he dismissed them and didn't bother, ouch.

In the back of my mind, I keep thinking that Fury is the one with all the shell accounts. And he's the one spending all the money, buying bunk beds and all.

 

[Brownbear]

what if coulson was informed by fury to setup a refugee location....? in case of a big threat.. ultron is coming in 2 weeks after all...

 

[ajmccarrell]

I'm betting something else, I'm betting Coulson stole the missing Diviners and is acting as the Kree still.

If that's the case, he'll need another Kree temple.

How did he know where they were ?

 

[ajmccarrell]

How did he know where they were ?

His Kree DNA told him where to go, same as the carving. I think he's completing the mission.

He didn't know anything about the Diviner (singular) hence the going down into the temple to see what the f### it did.

So given he didn't know anything about the singular one ,and as far as we know ,all any of the GH subjects were getting was the map to the city .How would that lead to him other Diviners .If that was the case would he not have got directions to Gordo's crib as well seeing as he has one in his living room ?

My guess is that after WW2 Jiayang went and tracked them down as she had contact with the other one
