‘Agents of SHIELD’ season 2, episode 17 preview: Chloe Bennet’s Skye tries to move mountains

This scene below from Tuesday night’s “Agents of SHIELD” is a true tease. It is all sorts of powerful watching Jiaying do what she can in order to teach Skye the proper way in which to channel some of her powers, but right when everything starts to truly become powerful, the scene comes to an end.

The cliffhanger it leaves us on here is ultimately rather simple: Did Skye manage to actually make the earth move? She is instructed by her trainer / secret biological mother to find a new way to make her power manifest. Everything in this world already has a natural vibration, and she is not making the mountain move; it is doing that all its own. It is not human, and also cannot be hurt. It is probably as powerful of a training scene as there has ever been.

If Chloe Bennet’s character can be properly trained in order to be a true superhero, then there is no doubting that she will be a serious asset moving forward to SHIELD … that is, if that is really what she wants now. We do not want to make any rash judgments or presumptions here, mostly because this is not a woman who is entirely predictable at the moment. We do not know entirely what it is she is going to want with her life out of this. All we really know is that she is someone who has gone through something terrible in many ways, and she needs to discover herself on the other side.

Ultimately, consider this scene one stage of this self-discovery.
