Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' may not yet have a season 2 pickup, but that isn't stopping the team from building steam toward its impending finale. This coming Tuesday's "Ragtag" will see Coulson and May going undercover for Cybertek to research Deathlok, also dipping into Ward's past to reveal what put him on the path to becoming a Hydra traitor. Find out Garret (Bill Paxton)'s recruitment methods in the latest clips!

The first sneak peek from Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' penultimate installment "Ragtag" sees Coulson and May attempting to go undercover, using the adorably-bickering Fitz and Simmons as earpieces, though the Cybertek scientists are none-too-impressed with their inventions to date. Meanwhile, Hero Complex got a look at the opening minutes of the hour, which dip back 15 years to see how Garret first recruited a young Ward into S.H.I.E.L.D.
