List of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. episodes

"Providence" is the eighteenth episode of the first 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 scramble to survive following the destruction of their organisation. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. The episode was written by Brent Fletcher, and directed by Milan Cheylov.

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, and Elizabeth Henstridge.

"Providence" originally aired on ABC on April 15, 2014, and according to Nielsen Media Research, was watched by 5.52 million viewers.

Ward rescues Raina from prison and takes her to an abandoned SHIELD base in Cuba, now repurposed by Hydra. He introduces her to Garrett, who gives her the drug samples he collected from TAHITI and instructs her to synthesise GH325. Ward provides Raina with the drive containing the Bus data, while he and Garrett raid the Fridge, killing the SHIELD personnel stationed there. Garrett reveals that the Slingshot program, in which weapons are fired into space to keep them out of the wrong hands, is a deception, and all the weaponry is instead stored in a secret vault; they retrieve the Tesseract weapon found in Peru, the gravitonium generator and the Berserker staff, and also release numerous prisoners, including Ian Quinn.
