Halfway through the season, let’s take stock: The mystery about Agent Coulson’s resurrection is in full swing; Agent May took her place as one of the most badass women on television; Fitz and Simmons continue to be a needed human element in the show; Ward has gone from robot to complex character in just a few episodes…and Skye just sort of exists. The bulk of the action this week centered on Peterson. When fans last saw Peterson, he was taken down by the Agents after a rampage in New York. Now, Peterson is training to be an Agent and must help Coulson take down a group of Centipede super soldiers. Peterson’s path of redemption has been one of the show’s more effective character arcs and his need to make up for his time as a monster makes him a sympathetic character in a very classic Marvel sense. There is a sort of a “Hulk” feeling around Peterson, a man who fears his powers but wants to use them for good. Sadly, Peterson has a weakness, something the enemies responsible for Centipede can exploit: his son, Ace…which leads to the episode’s cliffhanger. What is bad for the Agents might be good for fans, as Peterson betrays Coulson to save his own son to the Girl in the Flower dress. As she takes Coulson away in a combat helicopter, she tells him that she wants to know the secret of his return from the dead, something fans are clamoring to know as well. Could the mysterious Girl in the Flower Dress unlock the secrets of Tahiti? Fans will have to wait to 2014 to find out. Marvel Moments: Coulson’s cellist. Seriously, the guy talk between Ward and Coulson while cruising in Lola was one of the best moments of the season.
