Ward lets down his wall for Skye again as he faces his failure to protect Simmons and the others from threats that can't be dealt with through violence. As Coulson counsels one of the firefighters infected by the alien disease, he tries to find meaning in his own brush with death. Mortality is a big issue in tonight's episode. Fitz is especially troubled, and he oscillates between the roles of counselor and tech cheerleader as Simmons attempts to develop an anti-serum to cure herself. Coulson immediately quarantines the young scientist, but he and the rest of the team are hit hard by the prospect of losing a member of the band. The who-done-it quickly morphs into a who-got-it as we discover Simmons, the team's resident bio-expert, contracted the alien virus during their initial investigation. A group of first-responders to the Battle of New York kept a discarded Chitauri helmet as a trophy, but its original owner was the carrier of an electro-pulse virus that causes infected humans to self-combust. After a freak electrical storm, a Boy Scout troupe leader's corpse is somehow left levitating in the middle of the woods.ДЄs the body count rises, the team soon discovers that they're dealing with a threat unlike any other they have faced before: this week's big bad is not a person, but a mysterious alien disease.

returned this week with a classic ghost story turned murder mystery.
