(Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), revolving around the character of Phil Coulson and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as they work with "Big S.H.I.E.L.D." to take out a dangerous new weapon.

Clark Gregg reprises his role as Coulson from the film series, and is joined by series regulars Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, and Elizabeth Henstridge. Maximiliano Hernández guest stars as Jasper Sitwell, reprising his role from the films, while Saffron Burrows is introduced as high ranking S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Victoria Hand. "The Hub" originally aired on ABC on November 12, 2013, and according to Nielsen Media Research, was watched by 6.67 million viewers in its original airing. The episode received a mostly positive critical response, with the character development and the moral ambiguity of the larger S.H.I.E.L.D. organization ("Big S.H.I.E.L.D.") praised. ==Plot== Agents Phil Coulson, Melinda May, and Grant Ward infiltrate a Siberian prison and break out an undercover agent carrying intel classified S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 8. Trainee Skye is frustrated when Coulson refuses to tell the team what the information is, based on their clearance, but the others explain that if every agent had all the information, the entire organization would be vulnerable. At The Hub, a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility run by Agent Victoria Hand, it is revealed to the Level 8 Coulson and Level 7 May and Ward that a South Ossetian separatist group has built a weapon called the Overkill device, which uses sonic vibrations to trigger other weapons from great distances. Ward, a field specialist, and Agent Leo Fitz, a weapons technology specialist, are tasked with finding and disabling the device within 24 hours, before the separatists use it to declare independence from Russia and Georgia. In the Caucasus Mountains, Ward discovers his contact from a previous mission is dead, but Fitz uses his technology and engineering knowledge to win the support of locals, who smuggle them across a disputed border. At The Hub, Skye is determined to find out how Fitz and Ward are going on their mission, despite her restricted access. She works with Agent Jemma Simmons to gain access to a restricted panel, though high-ranking agent Jasper Sitwell is knocked unconscious in the process. Skye discovers that there is no extraction plan for Fitz and Ward, but when she confronts Coulson, he tells her to trust the system. Coulson then confronts Hand, as he himself had not been aware of the lack of an extraction plan, though she tells him to trust the system. Fitz and Ward infiltrate a separatist base and find the device, and though Ward realizes that there is no extraction team, they carry on with their mission. Fitz successfully disables the device, and then re-engineers it for hand-held use, using it to help Ward fight off assailants. As they attempt to escape, the rest of the team arrives to rescue them, Coulson having disobeyed orders to save them. At The Hub, Hand tells a recovered Sitwell that she had known Coulson would do this all along. Afterwards, Coulson reveals to Skye that he had found a document that she had been searching for regarding her history, and tells her that it contains information on a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent that dropped her at an orphanage when she was a baby. Later, May agrees to help Coulson find more information on the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent in question, and it is revealed that she had been murdered. In an end tag, Coulson is denied access to his own death and recovery file. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Hub (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
