IR TV Review: MARVEL'S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D. - EPISODE 10 ("Stolen") [ABC-S7]

The aspect of consequence but also perception figures heavily into Episode 10: "Stolen" of Season 7 of "Marvel's Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D." After the previous episode, which in any series would be hard to top, the follow-up might feel like a let-down, just by the nature of the energy of the previous episode. In its inception, the story of the ep is a little jarring because the location is not automatically assumed. Certain structures are in play and there is a plot angle that needs to be accomplished. Again the Sousa/Daisy interconnection is important. But without giving anything really away, it becomes about truth in the greater sense of the word. How Daisy vs. Sousa sees the world sometimes does not take into account all the variables. The key in this episode is characters and their belief or perception in what they ar seeing. That continues to change which speaks to the new time angle of what is going on. Whether this affects or impacts the next phase is still to be seen but every move is made or conceived for a specific reason, even if it is a minor detail in the construct of the universe. "Stolen" works slow and steady but this more readily set ups the structure of the new twists to come.B+
