History Recap / AgentsOfSHIELDS4E2MeetTheNewBoss

** Robbie vs Daisy, round two. He walks through everything she hurls at him and knocks her out with a flaming weapon. He doesn't even need the Rider's help this time, since Daisy's bones are in no shape to handle her powers.

* RealityEnsues:
** After spending the entire episode deliberately damaging her van with her powers (to antagonize Robbie while he tried to fix it), Daisy is unable to get the van (which wasn't in great condition to begin with) to start during the stinger, forcing her to abandon it.
** Due to the damage to her bones from the use of her powers (indicated to be overuse and pushing well beyond her limits) without the gear Simmons built for her, Daisy is unable to put up any sort of a fight when she pushes Robbie's BerserkButton, and unlike last time, Robbie doesn't even [[HulkingOut transform]] into the "other guy".

* NotSoDifferent: Robbie says this in regards to Daisy in regards to them both being vengeance seekers. She thinks its because they're both Inhuman.

* WontTakeYesForAnAnswer: Coulson immediately starts to explain why he disobeyed ordered to go after Daisy last episode, only for Jeffrey to let him off the hook before he can finish. Coulson admits he had an entire speech ready, which Jeffrey says he can use next time.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Coulson stepped down from being Director on his own because of "a whole host of reasons" and wanted a "powered person that people could trust". Now he's staring to regret it due to disagreeing with Jeffrey more and more, as while Mace clearly respects Coulson, he also has very definite ideas about how to run S.H.I.E.L.D. and isn't concerned about Coulson's approval.

** During a conversation between Coulson and Jeffrey, it's mentioned that Coulson wanted the new Director to be a powered person that the public could trust, like Captain America. In the comics, Jeffrey was a member of the World War 2-era teams the Liberty Legion and the All-Winners Squad under the identity of The Patriot, and was later retconned to have been the third [[LegacyCharacter Captain America]] while Steve was missing.

Now he's staring to regret it due to disagreeing with Jeffrey more and more, as while Mace clearly respects Coulson, he also has very definite ideas about how to run S.H.I.E.L.D. and isn't concerned Coulson's approval.

* ArbitrarilyLargeBankAccount: Discussed, when Jeffrey is trying to convince Coulson to lead a tour of government officials around the Playground. He states that when S.H.I.E.L.D. was in the shadows, they may have had the resources to build something like the ''Zephyr'', but not anymore with government oversight and funding.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Coulson stepped down from being Director on his own because of "a whole host of reasons" and wanted a "powered person that people could trust". Now he's staring to regret it due to disagreeing with Jeffrey more and more.

* InternalReveal: Mack finds out that Elena has been in touch with Daisy for a while now.

** The Darkhold is an artifact from the Marvel comics, created by an ElderGod as a repository for his considerable knowledge of dark magic.
** During a conversation between Coulson and Jeffrey, it's mentioned that Coulson wanted the new Director to be a powered person that the public could trust, like Captain America. In the comics, Jeffrey was a LegacyCharacter for Cap.
* NecessaryEvil: While shipping May off to who-knows-where definitely makes one question Jeffrey's motives, having her bound in a straightjacket is an entirely reasonable precaution to keep her from being a danger to herself and others. After all, one of the Chinese gangsters was able to seriously injure himself because he was only being held prisoner without restraints.

** When May attacks Jeffrey, a barrage of punches and pipe to the chest don't even make him flinch.

** After spending the entire episode deliberately damaging her van with her powers (to antagonize Robbie while he tried to fix it), Daisy is unable to get her van (which wasn't in great condition to begin with) to start during the stinger, forcing her to abandon it.

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Fitz and Simmons try talking about [[DoingInTheWizard ways that the "ghost" could be the result of some kind of scientific phenomenon]], Mack notes that maybe, just maybe, [[DoingInTheScientist it's a real ghost]].

* WorfHadTheFlu: Daisy gets it even worse in this episode. When she's attacked by Robbie for mentioning his brother, she can barely manage a few attacks before he lands a strike on her fractured arm and knocks her out. Last time, she held her own until the Rider took over. Her bones and general constitution are even worse in this episode.

* YearOutsideHourInside: The ghosts had no sense of time passing while trapped in the boxes. The first ghost heads back to what was her home only to find that a new family bought it years ago. The second ghost worries that they could have been trapped for hours until she explains that it's been years.

* TheUnintelligible: One of the ghosts, Vincent, has it worst since the rest of the group can't understand him even while he is obviously screaming on top of his lungs.

* SuperStrength: Jeffrey has strength enough to easily NeckLift knock out May.

** After spending the entire episode deliberately damaging (and antagonizing the person trying to fix) her van with her powers, Daisy is unable to get her van (which wasn't in great condition to begin with) to start during the stinger, forcing her to abandon it.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Daisy's justification for leaving S.H.I.E.L.D. and refusing to "come home" with Mack and Fitz is that she has to do what she's doing and has to do herself. Robbie would say this is just more death-seeking penance.

* DoingInTheWizard: Subverted. Analysis of the box reveals it's some form of incomprehensible technology and FitzSimmons assume that technobabble created the ghosts in an energy lab (similar to Tobias from the first season) but the ghosts themselves attribute their creation to a book called the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Darkhold]], so they were definitely made from supernatural means, and Robbie believes Ghost Rider, a supernatural entity, is connected to them.

** She says nothing during the whole thing, except that she's doing "[[IDidWhatIHaveToDo what needs to be done]]", thanks them for the patch up and walks away.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Coulson stepped down from being Director on his own because of "a whole host of reasons"
and wanted a "powered person that people could trust". Now he's staring to regret it due to disagreeing with Jeffrey more and more.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Coulson stepped down from being Director on his own, but he's staring to regret it due to disagreeing with Jeffrey more and more.

* DeadpanSnarker: Jeffrey has his moments.

* DoingInTheWizard: Subverted. Analysis of the box reveals it's some form of incomprehensible technology and the ghosts hail from an energy lab, but they attribute their creation to a book called the [[TomeOfEldritchLore Darkhold]], so they were definitely made from supernatural means, and Robbie believes Ghost Rider, a supernatural entity, is connected to them.

* IDidWhatIHadToDo: How Daisy justifies her leaving.

* NotSoDifferent: Robbie says this in regards to Daisy and she agrees.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Whatever else he might be up to, Jeffrey does show signs of this. He wants Coulson to lead the tour group not as a demeaning punishment, but because Coulson does know more about SSR and S.H.I.E.L.D. than practically anyone else, which is needed to impress the visitors. He quickly adjusts when Simmons tells him not to visit the containment cells, comes up with a better idea and then credits someone else for having it. He only uses as much force as needed to knock May out (and then quickly checks her vitals). He doesn't flip out on Coulson for going after Daisy alone, and seems honestly apologetic that they have to treat her as a wanted fugitive.

* SlaveToPR: Jeffrey is this, {{justified}} as he wants to bring back S.H.I.E.L.D. as a legal, legitimate organization.
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Fitz and Simmons try talking about [[DoingInTheWizard ways that the "ghost" could be the result of some kind of scientific phenomenon]], Mack notes that maybe, just maybe, it's just actually a ghost.

* StoryBreadcrumbs: The group of ghosts is apparently somehow involved in Robbie's backstory.
* SuperStrength: Jeffrey has it, which he uses to easily knock out May.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Daisy gets it even worse in this episode. When she's attacked by Robbie for mentioning his brother, she can barely manage a few attacks before he lands a strike on her fractured arm and knocks her out. Last time, she held her own until the Rider took over.

** Due to the damage to her bones from the use of her powers (indicated to be overuse and pushing well beyond her limits) without the gear Simmons built for her, Daisy is unable to put up any sort of a fight when she pushes Robbies' [[BerserkButton bezerk button]], and unlike last time, Robbie doesn't even [[HulkingOut transform]] into the "''other guy''".

* WrongGenreSavvy: Fitz and Simmons try to find a scientific explanation behind the ghost who left the box. While there is one for the box, the ghost really is a ghost.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Jeffrey's idea of "treating" a possessed May is tying her up in a straitjacket and putting her in a Quinjet to who knows where, instead of putting her inside one of the containment modules, which makes one question his NiceGuy persona. However, since the Chinese gangster who went unrestrained managed to seriously injure himself by bashing his own brains out on the walls, binding her as such is a justified precaution, though his secrecy about the affair is still questionable.
