The divisions of S.H.I.E.L.D. doubled last week on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D" when Bobbi Morse and Mack revealed to be working for the "real" S.H.I.E.L.D. under the command of Robert Gonzalez.
In tonight's episode titled "One Door Closes," the two teams come to blows as Bobbi returns to collect the toolbox that Director Fury handed over to Phil Coulson in the season one finale, effectively making him the new director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Before the trouble begins, Coulson realizes Mack's loyalties lie elsewhere and confronts the mechanic about a device he put in the toy replica of Coulson's beloved car, Lola. Mack technically doesn't lie when he says that he's loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D., but which S.H.I.E.L.D. will jeopardize his relationship with Coulson's team.
Flashbacks to the day S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, the climax event of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," reveal how the team led by Gonzalez formed in the wake of Hydra's takeover. "S.H.I.E.L.D." welcomes back Lucy Lawless whose character, Isabelle Hartley, banded together with Bobbi and Mack on a compromised S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
Their small team goes in search of Gonzalez and find him sitting in a destroyed conference room. He rightly questions their allegiance when they claim not to be a part of Hydra as trust was (and still is) at a premium.
Stuck in the safe house, Skye will need to find a way to escape this other S.H.I.E.L.D. team that wants to collect the young agent exhibiting strange powers. Agent May makes it her mission to save Skye despite the chaos. Meanwhile, Skye struggles to control her new abilities and later makes a decision that will irrevocably change her life.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." airs on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EDT on ABC.
