Spoilers, obviously:
With SHIELD determined to stalk,
Coulson's left to wait out the clock.
But he proves tricky prey,
And soon gets far away,
Now joined by Hunter and Deathlok.
And Skye, never to be outdone,
Finds the Inhumans' place in the sun.
And, as is tradition,
Gets three-scene exposition
That could have been covered in one.
May's in the cell once used by Ward,
But her ability strikes a chord,
Olmos lets her live,
And then offers to give
Her a seat on alterna-SHIELD's board.
With Skye as a one-woman bomb,
Raina's presence threatens her calm.
So "The Elders" decide
That Sky should have a guide,
Who turns out to somehow be Skye's mom.
Coulson wants to clean SHIELD's clocks,
But also free Skye from her locks.
Ward will be recruited,
And, also, Fitz looted
That little black mystery box.
To keep a tidal wave at bay,
Barry ran 'til his legs gave way,
Running so fast
That he went to the past,
Albeit by only one day.
Though he's warned the tiniest ping
Can alter the pendulum's swing,
We all know he'll stave
Off the huge tidal wave,
And, in doing so, change everything.
And with this new temporal dawn,
Iris' love is now gone,
Captain Singh survived
Cisco's still alive
And Captain Cold's a mafia Don.
As always, the show simply pantses
Itself when it tries at romances.
Barry's in a daze,
Acts in stupid ways,
And nearly dashes all his chances.
The baddies have Cisco in hold,
Making guns that shoot heat, fire, and gold.
But through pain and doubt,
He soon gets himself out,
Though Flash has to bargain with Cold.
The romantic strife tends to smother
Its vastly superior other.
But though it lacks style,
The ep's still worthwhile
For the scenes with Cisco and his brother.
SPOILERS
Mason Bridge is about to arrive
At the truth about how Wells connives,
But before that gets out,
Reverse-Flash comes about,
Kills him and destroys his hard drive.
