This was soon followed by her quake orb attack against Mac and Coulson, literally tearing the Mac LMD apart and proving once more that Daisy is a badass Inhuman.

Unlike last week, once Daisy finished her pre-fight speech her ensuing encounter with the Mace LMD carried the weight it promised and provided a great, visually pleasing finishing blow. Once Daisy pulled a shaking Simmons into her arms though and the realisation hit that they were not LMD’s and thus not alone I could feel the emotional release and also the inevitable strength that that certainty brought.

Both characters were unsure of the other’s allegiance and Daisy’s subsequent suggestion of mildly quaking Jemma to ensure they were both human/Inhuman and not an android was understandably met with resistance. Having Daisy not being compromised resulted in possibly one of my favourite moments in the show’s history her encounter with Simmons. LMD or no, this was a traumatic moment for Simmons and fed into her ensuing encounter with Daisy. Simmons’ subsequent ‘murder’ of Fitz was a great moment, seeing him pleading with her to stop and Jemma only briefly hesitating before jamming the blade into his neck. Although I was mainly aiming my suspicions at Fitz up until he stabbed Simmons in the leg it was very difficult to know who was the LMD and in fact if they were even aware of it themselves. I can’t stress this enough but both Iain De Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge were on top form here from Fitz’s heart-breaking pleas for her to lower the gun to the uncertainty creeping into Simmons’ words as she accused her partner and best friend of his treachery. The reveal that Daisy was not in fact an LMD and that the fourth model was Fitz was a wonderfully delivered twist and resulted in an incredibly emotionally charged back and forth between Fitz and Simmons. Jed Whedon made his directorial debut with ‘Self Control’ and the entire episode from start to finish was handled with an incredible amount of integrity and resulted in one of the finest episodes Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4…Īfter the excellent reveal that was the closing scene of ‘ The Man Behind the Shield’ last week ‘Self Control’ had a lot of pressure to give us an appropriate payoff and oh my stars and garters did it deliver.
