Agents of SHIELD: Synopses for Next 3 Episodes Released and Confirmed

The promo for the episode gives us some clues about what the Agents of Shield will encounter in "Paradise Lost". Hive, formerly known as Grant Ward played by Actor, Brett Dalton will be at the forefront of Episode 16: Paradise Lost. From the promos, we can see that Hive is no longer hiding his intentions and will likely be taking over Gideon Malick's place as head of Hydra. And with an Inhuman like Hive at the helm of a billion dollar entity, it spells trouble for everyone, most importantly the Agents. The synopsis for Episode 16: Paradise Lost is enscribed below.

Tidbit gathered from the Synopsis of Episode 16.

Not much else can be derived from the synopsis for "Paradise Lost" but the cast list sporting several 'Malick' names means we'll be introduced to the Malick family in Episode 16: Paradise Lost. Though with Hive's potential regime change coming, Gideon Malick's life may be in danger despite some screen time devoted to his family in the upcoming episodes of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. We do know that Hive will not be hiding in the shadows any longer, by taking his Inhuman army along with him in his nefarious quests. The promo for "Paradise Lost" has Hive revealing his true nature to Gideon Malick, as well as Hive's accomplice, Giyera fighting with the Agents. Nothing else is relevant in the promo, other than the quick screen shot of a plane or spaceship, floating in orbit with someone bleeding on-board. In whatever circumstance, it's probably not a good sign that someone is bleeding in space. The repercussions of the scene won't be known until tonight when Episode 16 "Paradise Lost" premieres. The information isn't relevant but the synopsis for Episode 17 "Team" and Episode 18 "The Singularity" have been released and are listed below.
