15. One Door Closes

Gordon visits Skye to tell her of his home, where she can be safe and learn to control her powers without S.H.I.E.L.D.'s gloves. Coulson confronts Mack about the model car and his behavior, deducing that he is a mole. Morse steals the toolbox from Coulson's office and takes over the base's systems, allowing her and Mack to evade capture and the rest of their faction to attack. Their organization was formed after the Hydra Uprising and fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., when Morse, Gonzales, Mack, and Hartley disobeyed Fury's orders, saving hundreds of loyal S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Gonzales realized all the harm caused by Fury and his secrets, now wanting S.H.I.E.L.D. to exist without them. He and his colleagues fear potential alien and superhuman phenomena that could endanger the rest of the world, including Skye, but, when they try to detain Skye, she accidentally unleashes her abilities. Horrified at what she can do, Skye agrees to go with Gordon. May helps Coulson escape from Gonzales and Coulson soon finds Hunter, who agrees to become a permanent agent.
