History Recap / AgentsOfSHIELDS6E08CollisionCoursePartI

* {{Blackmail}}: Mack is able to wrangle Deke for ''10%'' of his company in exchange for him helping Sarge's team and keeping his mouth shut to Daisy about his VR game.

** [=Fitzsimmons=] blow off Boyle for being concerned with Toad leaving his candy lying around, which he's very stingy with. At the end of the episode, the entire crew minus [=FitzSimmons=] is under Izel's thrall.

* RedOniBlueOni: The Anthropologist Chronicoms are blue, while the Hunter Chronicoms are red. The Anthropologists led by Enoch, while saddened by the loss of their planet, have come to accept it and want to simply find a new home for the survivors. Altarah's Hunters are in denial, driven by the insane goal of trying to go back in time to save their planet from the Shrike (as [[ComicBook/IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] would tell them, [[Film/AvengersEndgame that's not how time travel works]]), and engage in StupidEvil tactics by killing anybody who can't help them or disagrees with their violent methods.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Fitz is jealous of ''himself'', or rather his dead alternate future self who already got married to Jemma. He even acknowledges just how ridiculous he's being when Jemma calls him out on it.

!!Tropes in this episode:

--> "So we're in a truck that we can't stop with a bomb that we can't find with a girl who can't quake, and I gave up 10% of my company for the experience!"

* DoomMagnet: Deke notes that S.H.I.E.L.D seems to attract all sorts of bad stuff. He suggests his shaman could help with that.
* ExactWords: Mack promises Sarge that he and the other agents will stay in the base while Sarge goes after the Shrike. Then they follow Sarge anyway, in the Zephyr, their base in the air.

* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Deke and Snowflake ([[OddCouple yup]]) go at it -- or at least [[CoitusInterruptus are preparing to]] -- ''in the back of Sarge's truck'', with only a curtain for privacy.

* OddCouple: Snowflake and Deke. Yes, really. What really sells it is that May, Daisy, and Sarge are equally disgusted.

* OutGambitted: Mack is able to turn the tables around on his "deal" with Sarge, by successfully keeping most of his people in containment, and putting Daisy and May on his team. Mack rightly suspects that, contrary to what Sarge says, he's really tired of losing to the Shrike so he has no choice but to take Mack's terms. It's then subverted when Sarge was still one step ahead of them, having left Jaco behind on purpose as an escape route through his portal tech.

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Pax and Jaco are left with only a single guard watching them, who gets close enough to Pax that Pax kills him. After being re-contained, they're ''still left with only a single guard watching them'', who does absolutely nothing when Pax conspicuously messes with Jaco's jacket. Sarge then emerges through a portal in the jacket and promptly kills the guard.

* UnreliableNarrator: Izel and Sarge each claim that the other is the bad guy; given that Izel infects the crew minus [=FitzSimmons=] with Shrike parasites, Sarge is probably on the level.

* ExactWords: Mack promises Sarge that he and the other agents will stay in the base while Sarge goes after the Shrike. Then they follow Sarge anyway, in the Zephyr; their base in the air.
* FakeDefector: Pax pretends to tell the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent guarding him Sarge's plan, only to strangle him with his chain.

* HumanoidAbomination: Izel is revealed to be one. According to Incan mythology, she's a demon who hates all living things who escaped from a realm of fear and darkness thousands of years ago, who's been searching this universe for the Monoliths -- or as she calls them "Di'Allas".

* TheGuardsMustBeCrazy: Pax and Jaco are left with only a single guard watching them, who gets close enough to Pax that Pax kills him. After being recontained, they're ''still left with only a single guard watching them'', who does absolutely nothing when Pax conspicuously messes with Jaco's jacket. Sarge then emerges through a portal in the jacket and promptly kills the guard.

* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: Earlier in the episode, Deke talks about negative energy like Snowflake does and later on when Snowflake says she wants to spill Deke's soul, his response is to thank her sincerely.

* ThereAreNoCoincidences: Daisy believes there has to be a reason why Coulson and Sarge are genetically identical. Sarge disagrees, saying that in his century of life and dimension-hopping, the only constant has been randomeness.

* ThereAreNoCoincidences: Daisy believes there has to be a reason why Coulson and Sarge are genetically identical.

* CrazyJealousGuy: Fitz is jealous of ''himself'', or rather his dead alternate future self who already got married to Jemma. He even acknowledges just how ridiculous he's being when Jenna calls him out on it.
