In episode 3 of season 4 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., titled "Uprising," the team continues to deal with the aftermath of the Ghost Rider's debut in the previous episode. The sudden influx of Inhumans, people with special abilities resulting from exposure to alien terrigen crystals, has caused an unprecedented rise in hate crimes against them from humans. Daisy and Simmons go undercover to investigate a radical group that believes Inhumans should be exterminated, while Coulson and Mack work to protect an Inhuman woman with a unique gift from being hunted down.
Meanwhile, May is still recovering from the traumatic experience of being trapped in another dimension, but her recovery is cut short when she discovers that Quake is working with S.H.I.E.L.D. again. The two old friends have a heart-to-heart about their complicated relationship and the consequences of their actions in the past.
As tensions between humans and Inhumans escalate, S.H.I.E.L.D. is forced to confront a new threat from an old enemy. The Watchdogs, a hate group that was previously thought to have been defeated, resurfaces with a plan to use stolen Chitauri technology to wipe out all Inhumans in the city. Coulson and his team must race against the clock to stop the Watchdogs and prevent a massacre.
Overall, "Uprising" is a high-energy and action-packed episode that tackles timely issues of discrimination and hate, highlighting the ongoing struggles of marginalized communities and the importance of standing up against oppression. The episode also features strong character development, exploring the complicated dynamics between the members of the team and their personal struggles.
