Ep 6. A Fractured House

The show Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. follows a team of agents who work for the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division (S.H.I.E.L.D.). In season 2 episode 6, entitled "A Fractured House," the team must deal with the aftermath of a terrorist attack on the United Nations by a group known as the "Real S.H.I.E.L.D."

The episode begins with a news report on the recent attacks at the UN. The Real S.H.I.E.L.D. is taking responsibility for the attack, claiming that they are the true S.H.I.E.L.D. and that the organization has lost its way under the leadership of Director Coulson (Clark Gregg). Meanwhile, the team is scrambling to figure out what happened and who is responsible.

Amidst the chaos, the team receives a message from Agent May (Ming-Na Wen), who has been investigating the Real S.H.I.E.L.D. on her own. She informs them that she has located their base and is en route to ask for their help in taking them down. Coulson and the others agree to meet her there, but they quickly realize that they have been set up. The base is rigged with explosives, and they barely manage to escape before it explodes.

Back at their own base, Coulson and the team realize that they need to devise a plan to take down the Real S.H.I.E.L.D. without causing any more destruction or harm. They come up with a plan to infiltrate the Real S.H.I.E.L.D.'s facility and take out their leaders, including Robert Gonzales (Edward James Olmos), who is leading the charge against Coulson.

To do this, they stage a fake break-in at their own base in order to make it seem like they are vulnerable. The plan works, and the Real S.H.I.E.L.D. sends a team to attack them. At the same time, Coulson and his team infiltrate the Real S.H.I.E.L.D.'s facility. They manage to take out several of their leaders, but they are eventually outnumbered and forced to evacuate.

As they make their escape, they are confronted by Agent May, who has sided with the Real S.H.I.E.L.D. She tries to convince them to join their cause, but Coulson refuses. In the end, they manage to get away safely, but not before realizing that the situation between the two factions is far more complicated than they had initially thought.

Overall, "A Fractured House" is a thrilling episode that delves into the divisions within S.H.I.E.L.D. and the consequences of those divisions. It is a testament to the show's ability to balance action, suspense, and complex character development, and it sets the stage for even more exciting episodes to come.
