The Agents of SHIELD can now have their pick of Directors.

Dead Character Returns On 'Agents of SHIELD', Who Will Appear In 'One Door Closes'?

It seems there are those who are not particularly pleased with Fury's successor, Mac (Henry Simmons) and Mockingbird (Adrianne Palicki) included. Instead, the two agents have been serving a different master - and an entirely different SHIELD - the entire season. Now that their cover has been compromised courtesy of Hunter, Robert Gonzales' (Edward James Olmos) shadow organization seems to be prepared to move on Fury's Toolbox.

As viewers brace for the events of "Love in the Time of HYDRA" (and the return of Ward!), Clark Gregg (Coulson) dished on Coulson's history with Gonzales.

"He is a SHIELD agent that Coulson was familiar with from their shared past," Gregg said, according to Most News. "He was definitely in a different part of SHIELD when the HYDRA insurrection happened, and they come together and discover what they've both been doing since. More than that, I cannot say."

We all know why Mac doesn't want Coulson in charge - he thinks his obsession with the alien city was entirely misguided - but what agenda is Gonzales pursing? Find out more when "Love in the Time of HYDRA" airs on March 24 at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.
