Three diehard fans attend a casting session only to find that they have actually just enrolled at the Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Academy. Clark Gregg welcomes the new recruits and sends them off to begin the rigorous evaluation process. Do these recruits have what it takes to be a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent?
Elizabeth Henstridge puts the Recruit's intelligence to the test inspired by the episode "Beginning of the End." The recruit must quickly solve a complex series of equations before time expires in order to rescue Fitz, who's trapped underwater.
The Recruit must prove that they are courageous enough for field work as a S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent by completing this high-altitude challenge inspired by Director Coulson's perilous skydive in the episode "Closure." Ming-Na Wen and Henry Simmons introduce the mission. Brett Dalton makes a surprise visit and raises the stakes with a devious twist.
