"One Door Closes" is the fifteenth episode of the second season of the American television series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. (Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division), revolving around the character of Phil Coulson and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as they face a rival faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. The episode was written by Lauren LeFranc and Rafe Judkins, and directed by David Solomon.
Clark Gregg reprises his role as Coulson from the film series, and is joined by series regulars Ming-Na Wen, Brett Dalton, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, Nick Blood, and Adrianne Palicki. Lucy Lawless, whose character was killed in the season premiere, returns in flashbacks during the episode.
"One Door Closes" originally aired on ABC on March 31, 2015, and according to Nielsen Media Research, was watched by 4.26 million viewers.
On the day S.H.I.E.L.D. fell, S.H.I.E.L.D. engineer Mack is saved from Hydra double agents by agents Bobbi Morse and Isabelle Hartley, who have infiltrated the devastated S.H.I.E.L.D. aircraft carrier Iliad on former director Nick Fury’s orders to save the commanding officer, Robert Gonzales, and to sink the ship and its sensitive cargo and give S.H.I.E.L.D. at large a chance to survive against Hydra. They find Gonzales with a severely wounded leg, and struggle to assist him. Morse plans for Hartley to clear the way for Mack to get Gonzales to safety, while she sinks the ship, but when Hartley finds other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents fighting back against Hydra, she and Mack convince Morse and Gonzales to help them rather than kill them by sinking the ship, going against Fury’s orders. This was the beginning of their own faction of S.H.I.E.L.D., one that is against Fury and his secrets.
