Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Recap: T.A.H.I.T.I.

THIS IS THE EMERGENCY SPOILER ALERT SYSTEM...YOU ARE ADVISED TO READ AT YOUR OWN RISK...

When last we left off Quinn (the bad guy) had shot Skye, Mike was Deathlok, and Coulson had learned what had happened to him. Coming back, Skye is in critical condition and it is not looking good. Could they be killing off our favorite hacker? Well, the Team is not about to let that happen. May physically takes out her aggression on Quinn and his face, while Coulson decides there's nothing they won't do to save her. So they head to Bethesda, where Phil had been worked on and brought back to life.

The place is actually hidden under the mountains. Fury is refusing to see or even talk to Coulson, but did finally release Phil's full medical file to him. Phil finally can read what had been done to him. Though he doesn't fully understand it, he does understand that one of the experimental drugs used on him could be used to help save Skye. In the meantime, S.H.I.E.L.D. is angry that Phil refuses to release Quinn into their custody. Their response is to send Agent John Garrett and Antoine Triplett. Triplett takes a shining to our Simmons. Garrett was Ward's S.O., so the two other agents decide to help Coulson find this experimental drug to save Skye. Garrett gets to beat up Quinn and get some answers. 

The facility in question is not willing to help Coulson and his team. So he, Fitz, Ward, and Garrett break in. They kill the two guys guarding it, only to find out the base is rigged to explode. That and there are no doctors kept on site. Coulson and Fitz set out to find the experimental drug. Coulson finds the room where his brain was messed with. He then finds the room where the drugs are kept. I thought that the drugs used would be linked back to the Super Soldier Serum. Turns out, it's not. Fitz finds it, and runs off to get it to the Bus to save Skye. Garrett and Ward are unable to stop the bomb from going off, so Ward goes and finds Coulson so they can leave.

They all make it back to the Bus in time and Simmons goes to inject the serum into Skye while Coulson attempts to suddenly stop her. The bomb detonates and buries the facility under an entire mountain. The serum works, and Skye pulls through. Though she's still unconscious, she's alive and will make it!

May confronts Coulson about why he didn't want them to use the serum on Skye. He tells her that he was afraid Skye would suffer like he did. In reality, we get a flashback to Phil entering a room entitled T.A.H.I.T.I. Where a bunch of tubes lead him to open a strange door and find a blue top half of an alien body, kept in stasis while he's being used to make this magical G.H. serum that saved Phil and now Skye.

What is going on here!? What is S.H.I.E.L.D. up to? They seem to have no boundaries when it comes to what they're willing to do. 

Next week we get to see more of Lorelei, an Asgardian, and apparently the lovely Lady Syf is making a guest appearance!
