Season 3 episode 3 of “Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” continued the events after Jemma Simmons’ (Elizabeth Henstridge) big rescue.

In episode 2, titled “Purpose in the Machine,” Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker) finally solved the mystery on how to unlock the Kree monolith, and the team went all the way to an English castle to retrieve Jemma. Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennett) successfully replicated the machine using her abilities, and Fitz took the risk by entering the portal and bringing Simmons back. Johnson’s power destroyed the monolith afterward.

In episode 3, titled “A Wanted (Inhu)man,” Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the team are still searching for new Inhumans who recently discovered their powers. Andrew Lincoln (Luke Mitchell) is one of the Inhumans who is particularly being targeted by the ACTU. Lincoln discovers that he has powers related to electricity, and Daisy (Chloe Bennet) tries to convince him to join her. In episode 1, Lincoln told Daisy that he did not want to be part of S.H.I.E.L.D. and ran away.

Daisy, Mack (Henry Simmons) and Coulson try to look for Lincoln to protect him before the ACTU, led by Rosalinda Price (Constance Zimmer), hunt down the Inhuman. Rosalinda also comes across another Inhuman who recently discovered his special abilities.

Hunter (Nick Blood), in the meantime, shows that he will stop at nothing to have revenge against Grant Ward (Brett Dalton) and HYDRA.

Although fans speculate that Fitz and Simmons may eventually develop a romantic relationship after they had a brief sweet moment at the end of episode 2, the actress told Entertainment Weekly that it may still be too early for their characters to move beyond friendship.

“I think she’ll be leaning on him even more. The first word she says when she comes back is Fitz. All she wants to do is be close to him. She has a nightmare and he’s by her bedside. She crawls over and then can fall asleep because she’s close to him. It’s so far away from being romantic at the moment. He’s just there for pure comfort,” Henstridge explained.

Season 3 episode 4 of “Marvel: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” will air on Oct. 20 on ABC.
