 recap: Episode 13:

Someone watching an old movie, eating a steak. Coney Island, New York. Someone knocks. She goes to the door. Cal looking for Carla. She opens the door. Asks if they're with SHIELD? He says absolutely not. Cal introduces the 2 special guys with him. Asks her how long it's been since she touched someone. She slams the door in his face. Looks at her hands. Opens the door. They remove the shackles off her hands. She has blades for fingernails. Cal wants her to join up. Make SHIELD pay. Together we're a force. What do you say? She's in.

The hanger. Skye in her cell. Coulson brought her dinner, a grilled cheese sandwich. He says Trip was not your fault. She says I'm steady.

Coulson and May discuss Skye. She says anyone on the Index has to go through a psych eval. He tells her to reach out to Andrew.

Bobbi and Simmons. She's looking at the DNA. Fitz shows up looking for a case. Leaves. Bobbi tells Simmons that Fitz's intentions were good. She says science was sacred. He's different now and our relationship won't ever be what it was. A betrayal of trust like that changes everything.

She talks to Mac on the phone. He's taken Hunter to a safe house and locked him up. She says sit tight, she'll arrange an extraction. And give Hunter a beer or something.

Andrew talking with a student. May shows up. Long time. Yeah. SHIELD needs your help. They go to his office. He says he moved on for a reason. She says Coulson is Director now. And Skye is a good agent. I'm her SO. He's upset that she didn't return his call after SHIELD fell. If I do this, there are conditions. My sessions with her are private. She says it's a different SHIELD. They shake hands. He says he talked to her mom. May's not surprised. Her mother hasn't forgiven her for divorcing him.

Cal and crew go to a gate. Kill the guard. And break in. To a Maximum security psychiatric facility. Uh oh!!

May and Dr. Garner arrive. Coulson greets them. His phone rings. He tells Bobbi about the break-in at the facility. Index people were housed there. He asks about Hunter. She says permanent isn't his thing.

Simmons with Garner. Debriefing him on Skye.

Fitz and May. He says her ex seems nice.

May tells Skye about this. It's nonnegotiable. She says Andrew is good. She says I grew up in the system, I hate them. You'll like this one. I was married to him.

Skye bombards Andrew with questions about May. He says how long will you deflect. Why'd you shoot yourself? She says it was an icer. I did what I had to to protect my team. He says of course, you're an agent, and you're afraid of losing that. He says we eloped. Not in Vegas, thought Melinda does love Vegas. Skye says I shot myself because I couldn't stop what I was doing. How does it feel when it happens? Terrifying.

Coulson at the scene with Bobbi. She plays security footage. Coulson says we have to get into that basement now. 2 prisoners were housed here. Bobbi gets attacked. She takes him down. David Engar is missing.

He's with Cal. Bobbi and Coulson find a message. "Fight on."

Cal says SHIELD will come to us. He drives into a town in Wisconsin.

Andrew joins May. She pours him a drink. He asks if she's seeing anyone. Nope. She asks about the frame on his desk. He says you look good. She asks if he's hungry. He says he's not that hungry. LOL.

Fitz and Simmons. He says May and Andrew are talking in the kitchen. She wonders why they broke up.

Skye's powers going off. She's asleep! Dreaming. They wake her. She stops the shaking. Andrew says he'll stay. May gets the rest out.

Bobbi with Coulson. Going over Cal's criminals. She sent an encrypted message behind his back.

Cal's crew at a diner. Carla suggests moving on from SHIELD. Cal says we can't let them get away with taking things from us. They took my little girl and she's still there! He breaks a mug. I tried to improve myself with chemistry. But I keep working on a formula, always tweaking. We can't be afraid. We're going to shine a light on them.

Coulson says Hunter isn't hard to read. How long were you sleeping together? She admits she should've said something. Says she broke it off. Hunter fell into his old patterns. Mac has gone to find him. History repeats itself. Coulson figures that Cal is in Wisconsin. Cal is luring him home.

Andrew and Skye talk. What were you dreaming about? She says I don't remember. He pushes. She deflects with humor. And sarcasm. He says you're avoiding the truth that you have abilities triggered by pain. Face it or you don't sleep again. She says I was looking through a scope and then the scope was looking at me. The room shakes. She says no, I'm not doing this. The plane is taking off. May! Andrew goes to the cockpit. She says Coulson needs backup. You were in session and I didn't want to interrupt.

Carla unmasks the stolen guy. Cal says go make it count. They protect their ears. The man walks onto a football field at a school. And roars. All the teens fall instantly unconscious. Or dead? Birds fall out of the sky, too. Cal is thrilled.

Hunter's trying to get free. Mac brings him dinner. Pizza and a beer. Mac says he's just doing what has to be done. Remember when we met? Hunter says you're not going to soften me. What the hell are you and Bobbi in to? Mac says you'll know soon enough. Hunter says Dubai was a cover. I wasn't SHIELD, so you didn't tell me. Lies is what I remember.

Andrew and May argue. Skye says I'm helping. Andrew says no, this is an emotional powder keg. Skye says I can control my feelings. I'm doing it right now! Tell my dad I'm on the Index.

Coulson's dad was a teacher. Died when Coulson was nine. Cal speaks over the loudspeaker. Coulson says we wait for May. Cal says you killed the man I wanted to kill for 2 and a half decades! Aren't you going to help these kids, Phil? Will you stand by while we hurt them? Coulson walks out there alone. Lights come up. He's surrounded. Cal has one of his guys take Coulson's weapon. Cal comes on the field. May arrives with Skye. Says we put her on the Index. Now do we contain her or put her down? Your call. Heh.

May says let these people go or your daughter dies. Cal says you've been changed and it's wonderful. What's your thing? I hoped it'd be wings. They brainwashed you. You won't kill her. But you're capable of such things. Maybe they'll listen to you. He gives the microphone to the voice guy. The the eyeless guy takes Cal! Coulson and May get into it with the Indexers. Bobbi fights with Carla. Andrew got Skye out of the way. Bobbi finds Carla in the locker room. May's fighting the strongman. bobbi knocks Carla out. Coulson knocks out the computer guy. Ground shakes. Then Skye stops it, but her skin..... Coulson runs to her. She passes out.

She wakes up in bed. Simmons says we gave you something to help you sleep. Skye asks about her bruises. Simmons says you have over 70 fractures in your arms. You were directing your powers inward. Simmons made her casts. May says we'll figure this out.

Simmons and Coulson. She suggests 2 different categories. Enhanced and Other. He says research is a priority, and keep this between us.

Andrew and May. He's recommending Skye leave SHIELD altogether. She needs a safe place. May says this is safe. He says you can say that after Bahrain? He says he's not staying. SHIELD hasn't really changed. And he has a reason to stay out of danger. Goodbye, Melinda.

Mac and Hunter go to out. We work for SHIELD. The real SHIELD. The logo is on the wall. So, part of SHIELD went super underground separate from Coulson. Separate from Fury's orders, too? Who is in charge? Where did they get resources?

Cal in a room. Everything is broken. Eyeless man opens the door. Cal asks why didn't you take Daisy? Why am I here? He says you're making too much noise. Cal says I'm protecting us from SHIELD. Man says you're not part of us. You're a science experiment. Cal asks what happens to me. That's not for me to decide. Cal walks out.

Next week - May doesn't know how to handle Skye. Coulson tells her to figure it like she always does. Team allies with a new SHIELD. Edward James Olmos arrives. New SHIELD has a committee.
