Plot

Alphonso "Mack" Mackenzie with him to San Juan, Puerto Rico
, below which is the alien city.

On the way, Mack questions Morse about the relationship she has been rekindling with Hunter, asking her if she will let Hunter in on "the other thing", which she says she will not. Simmons tries to open up to Fitz about her feelings for him, wanting to explain that he is her best friend, but before she can he tells her that he is leaving the Science division to work with Mack in the garage, feeling that he is just getting in her way. In San Juan, Morse is concerned that Coulson wants to use the power of the Obelisk for himself, as that is what previous Director Nick Fury would do. Coulson assures her that he isn't Fury, and that unlike Fury, he has an "acceptable losses" number of zero. A contact of Morse's then directs them to an old guard tower, said to be above an entrance shaft to the city, but leaves due to stories that the tower is haunted.

When Skye tells Raina that Hydra has the Obelisk, Raina realizes that they want her because she is "worthy" of its power, and could take it to the alien city. Wanting to do this to find out what she could become, Raina attempts to give herself up to Hydra, but is prevented by the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. En route to San Juan, Raina tells Skye that

Kree to decide who is worthy to inherit Earth. Only one of these people, like Raina and potentially Skye, can go to the city with the Diviner and unlock its true power. Realizing that those not worthy should probably not enter the city, Skye attempts to warn Coulson and his team, but their communications are jammed by Hydra, who had followed a tracker embedded in Raina. S.H.I.E.L.D. traitor Grant Ward
boards the plane and takes Raina and Skye, as well as the coordinates for the city, before promising not to harm anyone else.

In San Juan, not knowing of the potential danger, Mack is lowered down to the city. He touches a symbol on the ground, and it starts glowing, causing great pain for him. The team pulls Mack back up, but he is overcome with rage, his eyes turn red, and he attacks them. Morse manages to subdue him, and he falls back down the shaft to the city. Coulson then orders the entrance be blocked off.

In an end tag, Agent 33 tells Hydra leader

Daniel Whitehall
that Ward let the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents go, and Whitehall tells her to rectify this mistake.

Production

Development

In November 2014, Marvel announced that the ninth episode of the season would be titled "...Ye Who Enter Here", to be written by Paul Zbyszewski, with Billy Gierhart directing.[1]

Writing

Explaining Skye's nightmare at the beginning of the episode, executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen stated, "She's having some gut feelings and they are manifesting in her dreams. Are the dreams foreshadowing something? Perhaps." Executive producer Jed Whedon added, "Mainly, they serve to show how afraid she is of all of this. In the audience's mind, there's a little bit of a sense of not obsession, but her interest in this lifelong journey of finding her parents. All of this is tied together emotionally." Going on to explain Skye's mindset when she hugs Coulson before he leaves for the city, Tancharoen said, "When we first met Skye, she's always been someone who goes off of instinct and impulse. Through the course of this season, in her training with May, she's toned that down and learned how to be an agent, suppressed emotion and been there for the fight first. It's a nice moment that brings us back to the old Skye and the heart of her relationship with Coulson, which will always have elements of a father–daughter relationship. For some reason, she feels more concerned than usual about this mission, so she gives him a hug. It's just a nice way to see that she's that old Skye that acts on impulse and wants to show she cares."[2]

Kree. Other members of that species play significant roles in the 2014 film Guardians of the Galaxy.[7][8] Asked whether this counts as the series' tie-in to Guardians, Whedon stated "It is a very far away other galaxy, so it's a little bit harder to have one of them walk into our set, so a direct tie-in is a little bit more challenging, but it's all one universe, so there's always opportunity for more. ... In Guardians, we saw parts in our universe that we hadn't explored yet, so it shows we're a part of that too."[2]
