- "The Real Deal" is the 12th episode of the fifth season, and the 100th episode overall, 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., it revolves around Phil Coulson and his team of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents as he reveals the details of his bargain with the Ghost Rider, while they deal with a space-time rift that manifests their worst fears. It is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and acknowledges the films of the franchise. The episode was written by Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jeffrey Bell, and directed by Kevin Tancharoen. Clark Gregg reprises his role as Coulson from the film series, starring alongside Ming-Na Wen, Chloe Bennet, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, Henry Simmons, and Natalia Cordova-Buckley. The episode features prominent references to previous seasons, including past characters and events, with J. August Richards reprising his role as Deathlok from earlier seasons in a guest appearance. Notably, the episode includes the wedding of Leo Fitz (De Caestecker) and Jemma Simmons (Henstridge), which the writers included as a moment that would satisfy long time fans of the series. The wedding was filmed on location in Placerita Canyon State Park. "The Real Deal" originally aired on ABC on March 9, 2018, and was watched by 3.78 million viewers within a week. This came after a marketing campaign for the episode that included roundtable discussions, hosted by Patton Oswalt, with the cast and crew discussing the making of the first 100 episodes, as well as the art program titled "The Road to 100", which saw the release of five posters, each commemorating the key events of the series' first five seasons. The episode received positive reviews, with critics praising its emotional weight, Richards' return, and the cast's performances, especially those of Gregg and Bennet. Critics also highlighted the Fitz and Simmons wedding as a satisfactory moment for viewers. (en)
