As the world comes to grips with the existence of superheroes and aliens, agent Phil Coulson assembles a small group of highly skilled agents; the team's first assignment is to find a man with extraordinary -- and potentially devastating -- powers and the young computer hacker that's encouraging him to reveal himself to the world.
Hunted and running out of solutions, Coulson puts his team right in the line of fire in the hopes of saving them all. But with General Talbot, Hydra and Creel all on the attack, can they possibly survive? Meanwhile, a mysterious Doctor harbors some dangerous secrets that could destroy one of our core team members.
In the digital series premiere, a Double Agent infiltrates the set of Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Working for a shadowy figure known only as the Mastermind, he encounters series regular Ming-Na Wen (Agent May) and show co-creator Jed Whedon as he works to stay ahead of Marvel Security and uncover secrets of the show.
The Mastermind gives the Double Agent his most dangerous mission yet. After a run-in with Brett Dalton (Grant Ward), the set is put on lockdown by Marvel Security. While in the midst of a desperate cat and mouse chase, our Double Agent has an unexpected interaction with Elizabeth Henstridge (Agent Simmons).
On the run with a stolen copy of the Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. finale, the Double Agent finds himself in a desperate car chase with Marvel Security. The Mastermind’s true identity is revealed and our adventure culminates in a startling conclusion. Special appearance by Clark Gregg (Director Coulson).
Three diehard fans attend a casting session only to find that they have actually just enrolled at the Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Academy. Clark Gregg welcomes the new recruits and sends them off to begin the rigorous evaluation process. Do these recruits have what it takes to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?
The Recruit must prove that they are courageous enough for field work as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent by completing this high-altitude challenge inspired by Director Coulson’s perilous skydive in the episode “Closure.” Ming-Na Wen (Agent Melinda May) and Henry Simmons (Agent Alphonso “Mack” Mackenzie) introduce the mission. Brett Dalton (Hive) makes a surprise visit and raises the stakes with a devious twist.
In this simulation, the Recruit assumes the role of a newly reborn Inhuman on the run from Hydra. The Recruit must race through an obstacle course and recover coordinates to a S.H.I.E.L.D. extraction point before his time expires. Luke Mitchell (Lincoln Campbell) encourages the Recruit along the way, but Brett Dalton (Hive) adds a high-speed twist to the challenge.
In light of the Sokovia Accords, and with Hydra obliterated, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been legitimatized again and no longer needs to operate in the shadows. Since the world presumes that Coulson is dead, the organization needed a new Director to be the face of the organization. Coulson finds himself back in the role as an agent and teamed with Mack, and together they are tasked with tracking down and confirming the presence of Enhanced people, aka Inhumans. Agent May is tasked with training specialist strike teams, and Fitz and Simmons have taken a big step forward in their relationship.
Elena Rodriguez meets with Daisy Johnson privately. The two discuss a secret mission they shared around the time Johnson went rogue from S.H.I.E.L.D. Now that Johnson has returned, Rodriguez wants to make sure their stories are consistent in efforts of throwing off Director Jeffrey Mace. In a flashback, Rodriguez meets with Phil Coulson as he clears out his office after stepping down as director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Rodriguez contemplates signing the Sokovia Accords, but is hoping to seek out Victor Ramon, the man responsible for the death of her cousin.
Director Mace sets a meeting with Rodriguez to have her sign the Sokovia Accords. As she does, she informs Mace about Ramon, who tells her that under the agreement of the Sokovia Accords, Rodriguez has to follow a certain procedure before going after Ramon. Unsatisfied, Rodriguez steals Mace's S.H.I.E.L.D. access card to help her get more information on Ramon.
Leo Fitz and Jemma Simmons examine Rodriguez, during which she secretly learns Ramon is in Baltimore, Maryland. As she sets forth with the mission, she runs into Mack, who is on a mission with Coulson to track down Johnson. As Coulson and Mack's Quinjet takes off, Melinda May informs Rodriguez that Mace's credentials have been reported missing. Rodriguez realizes that May is aware that she took them.
Agent May accuses Rodriguez of stealing Mace's credentials, with Rodriguez reluctantly returning his access card. May advises Rodriguez to be mindful of her "sloppy" work and that she would not tell Mace. Instead, May grants Rodriguez access to another Quinjet headed to Baltimore, allowing her to move forward with her mission. Rodriguez finds Ramon and botches his plans to leave the city. She reminds him that he is responsible for her cousin's murder. As their encounter intensifies, one of Ramon's henchmen knocks out Rodriguez.
Held captive by Ramon, Rodriguez realizes that he is attempting to sell an Inhuman weapon to members of the terrorist organization called the Watchdogs. Rodriguez is rescued by Johnson, who had come for the weapon, and holds off the Watchdogs attacks for Rodriguez to go after Ramon, who had tried to escape.
