Agents of SHIELD- "Face My Enemy" 112

Coulson and Melinda tangoing!!!! 

               In Florida there is mysterious painting that has been saved in a church fire. The painting has the strange markings we've been seeing. Hunter and Skye get access into an important party involving the painting. Coulson and May get into a party. They turn off their cons and tango. Chat about old times. Totally ship that, Phillnda forever!. :)  The team doesn't know the mission is personal to Phil. They think it's just a standard op. Turns out General Talbot is there! Great.... there goes May and Coulson's cover.  Coulson tells him the mission could benefit both of them. 

                Back at the plane, Hunter tells his marriage story..... again. May starts to flirt with the guy who owns the painting. Talbot talks and rats them out. May and Coulson have to quickly get the painting. Laser grids!!! Which May walks straight through like the awesome chic she is. "They already know we're here.".  After a false turnout we learn that Talbot already took the painting. Then we see Talbot calling someone. It's Dr.Whitehall! He finds about May and Coulson through Talbot.  M&C get caught by Talbot, he knows about the writing and wants Coulson to get the truth. Skye is digging about the mission, the team talk about past relationships. Fitz isn't bonding! 

                May goes to find Talbot. Turns out Talbot isn't Talbot and May gets knocked out. *Cue shocked face* Hydra! Fitz thinks he isn't part of the team. Plus, they switched the lab without consulting him. His and Simmons lab! Agent 33 (who've we have seen in previous episodes) as "May" infiltrates the plane and gets Coulson to come with her. Hydra threatens the real May. The bus is shutting down due to being sabotaged by Agent 33/ "May". Coulson finds out about Agent 33. The thing that tips him off- May hates coffee! May gets free.

Gotham -"Arkham" 111

                 Open to Penguin being in Gordon's apartment. James threatens Penguin/Oswald which leads to him telling Gordon there is a war coming and he can help him. A "unknown" man murders Councilman Jenkins late at night. Chief gives the case to James and Harvey. They head out to investigate. Fish is hiring a new singer but the reality is she needs a new "weapon".  Evidence shows up from Arkham. In politics turns out the Wayne's had a plan for housing in Gotham which gets support. James go to Wayne Manor to get info about Arkham and the recent murder. Alfred informs James that Maroney is the only one strong enough to go against Falcone which could ignite a war. Bruce's parents housing plan could die with it. Harvey calls James, Councilmen Zeller (who is one of Falcone's men) has been kidnapped. 


                  Chief believes it's politics driving these murders. Maloney sent out a hit first then Falcone. Arkham is mixed in there too. Edward (Young Riddler!!!) detects that the councilmen were killed by the same person. Harvey and James go to the Gotham lock up to get intel about a possible suspect, GCPD arrive at Richard's work, our suspect Richard gets his "fun creation" aka killing weapon ready to stick James with. Tensions are high. Suddenly, Harvey calls James back over while Richard escapes.

                   Bruce has bad nightmares about his parents, he's looking up Arkham files for connections between the recent murders and his parents. The restaurant that Oswald works at gets shot up. Backup guys come and find Penguin who managed to salvage some money. James comes home early and Barbara says long hours and long nights worry her. She finally asks about Oswald. He finds out Renee told her, she tells him about her past relationship with her. Don Maroney's comes back to the restaurants furious. He congratulates Oswald for saving the money and promotes him to Manager. Back at the station, Harvey finds the real Richard is dead, our murderer took his identity. He goes to find Fish. Another girl named Lyza is a possible suspect for Fish's job, with her singing skills and seduction powers. Harvey needs Fish to find the killer, she can find anyone. Falcone can't afford to lose but he's old and weak.

                   Oswald contacts James about another hit on a councilman. He finds the next target is the mayor, and goes to his house to protect him. The fake Richard is right outside. Eventually he gets inside, James and him get into a fist/gun fight. Again, Harvey comes in saving Gordon's life. They both end up shooting the suspect. Barbara stops by the station, and apologizes about keeping her relationship with Renee. Gordon won't let up on the Oswald thing. She tells him "You can either let me in or let me go.". Fish has her two new girls fight for the job. The one who can sing and seduct wins. We also find out Oswald actually had the restaurant shot up to raise his position. Arkham Asylum is being reopened.... yay? The mayor is making the plan seem "good". Falcone gets to build a housing project, Maroney gets to build up the city. Everybody wins, at least for now.

Dash is getting the inside scoop of the Emma/Jordi/Leo triangle. NJ has Britney and Emma accompany Kara to her high school's homecoming. While at Kara's school Leo saves Emma from being nervous and gives her a rose and eventually she becomes a popular unicorn among the students. Eva plays the cool mom and lets Jordi go to the movies with Dash, which soon after leads to him passing out. Back at homecoming, Kara is humiliated by people being nice to her and feels pitied. Leo once again saves the day by making her feel better with admitting to everybody who the real Kara is-a mean and sarcastic b!%$# and Kara kisses him. Later, after everybody is back in the hospital, Eva ends up leaving again for good even after Doc tries to convince her to stay. Leo visits Emma who's mad that he defended Kara.

Agents Of SHIELD-"Heavy Is The Head" and "Making Friends and Influencing People" 108&109

 

                         Last week's episode is gonna be short. Basically the new rookie Hunter who we saw survive in the first episode was testing Coulson and General Talbot. Fitz has been talking more and found a friend.  Carl Creel got contained. Onto this week's episode.

The promo shows Simmons!! 

Long review time. 

                          As a clock ticks Dr.Whitehall wants Agent 33 of SHIELD to surrender. She is loyal and will never work for Hydra. We see Jemma Simmons getting ready for her work day at...... Hydra. Skye is at the shooting range while May gives her advice on control. The guys come in and asks Skye if she ever went to the academy. She didn't, she also admits to never shooting anyone. May catches up with Director Coulson and they know about Agent 33 getting captured. Simmons is doing sample checks she sees a file on Donnie Gill (from last year!). As she gets home we hear someone in the house. Coulson checks her fridge, and bought her real groceries. While having dinner Jemma debriefs him about Donnie being a possible Hydra target. He tells her to be safe as a double agent. Undercover is all about selective truths. The team gets the story on Donnie.

                     Skye is working with Ward (her asset) on Hydra and their techniques for capturing people. In lovely Casablanca, Donnie is discovered by a couple Hydra agents. Jemma is escorted and has to tell about her past at SHIELD and her knowledge of knowing Donnie. Back to idiot Dr. Whitehall torturing Agent 33. The team goes to find Donnie except Fitz. Simmons has to leave with Hydra to find Donnie as well. Fitz isn't liking all the secrets so he goes to visit Skye's asset. And cue me crying, because oh god this scene is emotional. Quickly, we see Skye and the team jumping out the plane to find Donnie. Ward tries to talk with Fitz but he brings up his brain injury. Then Fitz starts to take the oxygen out of his room and tells him about Donnie. 

                        Jemma finds Donnie, they talk. Coulson finds out that Hydra brainwashed Donnie. Hunter has a shot on Simmons! No!! May sees that it's her and keeps her safe but still remains her cover hidden. Jemma gets back to Hydra. They quickly brainwash Donnie to keep themselves safe. Skye shoots Donnie into the ocean when he starts to freeze the boat. Back at the plane, Skye talks with May about shooting Donnie and Simmons being undercover. May tells her she'll be fine, just like Skye herself. 

Coulson chats with Fitz about his previous meeting with Ward. He tells Fitz about Jemma being undercover. Once again, in Dr. Whitehall's office we see him talking about raising Simmons position in Hydra so to speak. Skye goes to see Ward, he tells her about her father being alive. And one day if  he'll let her he would take her to him. :) So that's some hope for Skyeward!!! Yay!! :D   

Gotham-"The Balloonman" 107

SK (Cat) and James discussing the Wayne's murder case


                          Once again I missed the first four minutes due to my TV connection. So I opened up to Lt.Cranston being a jerk to James our favorite cop. Turns out Selina (Cat) gets to stay for a bit. She tells Gordon about her proof in witnessing the Wayne's murder. Lucky for James the evidence that Cat was a witness is in a sewer fin. He does find the proof that places her there but still have to find guy. Selina ends up getting out of the cuffs. Fish speaks with the MCU unit and they inquire about her knowing Oswald, she tells them that Gordon did it due to Falcone blackmailing him. Rumor has it Falcone beat Fish's "boy toy". Oswald gets found by a mysterious guy and ends up killing him then steals his money. And of all things goes and buys  a sandwich! Definitely not creepy at all.  

                            Back at Wayne Manor, Alfred is fencing with a reluctant Bruce. After a session Alfred finds the Wayne's police report that Bruce took. While back at the station Gordon gets a visit from the MCU unit about Oswald. He denies shooting him (because we know he didn't!). Then we see Oswald trying to get a job but gets denied due to his lack of experience. Gordon tells Harvey about his fun MCU visit. Oswald finds his way to get a job (Hint-he took out a employee). Lt.Cranston gets pulled up by balloon while being a bad cop. Balloon man killed the dirty cop-Lt.Cranston which comes out in the press. Barbara is worried about Gordon's safety again. He reassures her but says "Everyone has to matter, nobody matters.".

                             Gotham Police finds that the next target of the balloon man is possibly in public. Harvey remarks "You kill a cop, it's a job safety issue" so he goes looking for this balloon guy in "all different ways". Oswald gets the job but has expectations and is told that his job is a great opportunity. He agrees when an old friend shows up. Harvey gets a lead to an apartment and ends up arresting a suspect. Fish's boy toy feels bad and Fish tells him it was her fault. Renee (MCU chic) visits Barbara and notices she got high like in the old days. She needs truth about Gordon possibly killing Oswald. We find out they used to be together. Renee tells her that she deserves better and tells her to ask him where he was the night Oswald disappeared.

                              The cops find a suspect. They realize that the balloons rise up then pop so they come back.  Literally moments later a balloon falls. Gordon knows who the balloon man is. Oswald aka "Palo" who is a momma's boy sees an old "friend" and talks to him happily. We see another balloon fall this time with a priest,. Armond is Gordon's suspect who is actually "good guy" but corrupt.  Armond points his gun at Harvey. He just wants to make a difference but is pissed off and there are consequences. Minutes later Armond gets pulled by his own balloon. James being the hero he is pulls on. Harvey shoots balloon and once again saves James's life.   Armond gets put in an ambulance. Later that night, we see Bruce watching the news from earlier. Gordon comes home, Barbara is glad he's okay. Gordon says "The city is sick, everybody in power lets this city down.".  She believes in him. It;s a nice moment until Oswald shows up at his doorstep. Then we are cliffhangered!  

    Next Monday Oswald wants to help Gordon and Bruce begins to believe Gotham is being taken by criminals.
