“That is the twisted logic that they feed you when you become a Nazi! It’s in Chapter 1 of the SHIELD handbook Red Skull, Big Freaking Nazi!-Skye to Ward.
Below are the overview from Wikipedia so I dont miss any of the important details.
From Wikipedia:
Episode 18: Providence
Ward frees Raina from her confinement and introduces Garrett to her as the Clairvoyant. Despite her initial disappointment that Garrett does not actually have any powers, he tasks her with conducting research on the Guest House drugs for Project Centipede, which was secretly backed by HYDRA. Meanwhile, Colonel Glenn Talbot (Adrian Pasdar) contacts Coulson and informs him a military team is en route to the Hub. Not trusting Talbot, Coulson leaves with the team and Triplett. He orders Skye to erase the identities of all the team members, including Ward. However, when Coulson collects the team's badges, he discovers a hidden message with coordinates in the Canadian wilderness. There they discover the hidden S.H.I.E.L.D. base, Providence, run by Agent Eric Koenig (Patton Oswalt). Coulson learns from Koenig that Fury is alive but is told to keep the information secret. He also learns from May that Fury did not oversee the T.A.H.I.T.I. project. Elsewhere, Ward and Garrett infiltrate the Fridge, freeing its prisoners and stealing weapons including the Berserker Staff and the 0-8-4 from Peru. At the HYDRA base, Raina informs Garrett that the hard drive containing all of Skye and Simmons's research is specially locked with a password only Skye holds, prompting Garrett to send Ward to Providence to obtain it. Later, Ian Quinn is brought to the HYDRA base. Though angry at Garrett for Quinn's imprisonment, his ire is softened when Garrett shows him that he has Quinn's gravitonium, which was retrieved from the Fridge.
Episode 19: The Only Light In The Darkness
Koenig subjects Coulson's team to a rigorous lie detector test, which Ward narrowly beats to maintain his cover. Afterwards, Coulson takes Fitz, Simmons and Triplett to stop Marcus Daniels (Patrick Brennan), a superhuman possessing the Darkforce and former Fridge inmate, who is obsessed with cellist Audrey Nathan (Amy Acker), Coulson's former love interest. After rescuing Audrey, they devise a plan to lure out Daniels. The group overload him with energy, causing him to explode, and incidentally knocking out Audrey. Coulson briefly comforts her before withdrawing, as he plans on telling her he is alive someday. Meanwhile, May leaves the team after repairing the Bus, tired of Coulson not trusting her. Skye and Koenig hack the NSA to get eyes on the Hydra attack at the Fridge, forcing Ward to murder Koenig to prevent discovery and he tries to seduce Skye. Skye finds Koenig's body and realizes that Ward is with Hydra. In order to avoid suspicion by Ward, Skye joins him as they steal the Bus before Coulson and the others return to Providence. Later, May is picked up by her mother (Tsai Chin) in Ontario, Canada and is revealed to be searching for Maria Hill.
Episode 20: Nothing Personal
While May meets up with Hill in Washington, D.C., Coulson's team discovers that May, Ward and Skye left Providence. Simmons discovers Koenig's body while Fitz finds a message left by Skye informing them that Ward is a member of Hydra. Providence is assaulted by Talbot and his troops, having been led there by Hill; when Talbot demands the team turn themselves in, Coulson manages to convince Hill to help him and they escape. Meanwhile, Skye leads Ward to the diner where she met Mike Peterson and secretly tips off the police. She reveals that she knows his secret and escapes while he fights the police, but Deathlok appears and captures her. Skye refuses to decrypt the hard drive, forcing Deathlok to nearly killing Ward with one of his weapons to convince her. As Ward tries to fly the Bus, he is confronted by Hill, who stalls long enough for Coulson to sneak on board through the landing gear. Coulson frees Skye and they escape from Deathlok in his car, Lola. Deathlok then attempts to convince Ward to let them go now that the drive is decrypting on Garrett's orders, but Ward refuses. The team retires to a hotel, where Skye reveals she left a trap in the hard drive. Later, May returns and shows Coulson the contents of a flash drive she recovered from his "grave," specifically a message to Fury from the director of T.A.H.I.T.I. The file is a video of Coulson himself informing Fury that T.A.H.I.T.I. must be shut down because of horrific side effects the drugs had on test subjects, which could only be mitigated by erasing the victim's memory of what happened.
Grade: 3 1/2 Monsters (out of 5). There are only two episodes left in season 1. Where will it all end? I do think a 22 episode season is too many. It allows the plot to slow to a crawl. I would prefer 10 finely tuned episodes instead. See "Vikings" as an example.
