Keep both eyes open and direct them toward the season finale, airing in just a few short weeks — because that's the next place you'll see super-spy Nick Fury.

Samuel L. Jackson is set to reprise his role as Marvel's one-eyed shadow operative in the final episode of "S.H.I.E.L.D.'s" first season, according to what the man himself revealed to Vulture this week. He stopped short of spilling any story details ("I don't talk about Marvel's business," he said, "None of us do."), but based on the events of we can certainly take a guess.

By the way, that's your signal that major "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" spoilers are ahead. Last chance to turn away.

Still here? Okay! Let's talk about what Fury popping up in the "S.H.I.E.L.D." finale tells us about where the show is headed.

At the end of "Winter Soldier," S.H.I.E.L.D. is dismantled, and Nick Fury is presumed dead — to the world at large, at least. Cap, Falcon, Black Widow and Maria Hill all know better, as Fury has traded in the eyepatch for sunglasses, and his sleek leather attire for a casual hoodie, all in an attempt to lean into the situation and embrace his "death." Heck, the guy even has a tombstone and everything!

What's Fury up to next? It's hard to say. In his final "Winter Soldier" appearance, he asks Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson to accompany him on an upcoming assignment. The two soldiers politely decline. But there's someone a lot more likely to accept Fury's marching orders ...

The final battles of "The Voice" hit the stage Monday night (April 7), and only five singers were left standing on the coaches' teams.

Coaches Adam Levine, Shakira, Usher, and Blake Shelton sent out their remaining singers for the final five battles of the singing competition before the new playoff round, and there was no shortage of impressive vocals, tough decisions, and knee-weakening falsettos from Usher himself.

Here's how the final night of battles went down:

Last Steal of the Show
When Bria Kelly and Madilyn Paige found out they would be matched up for team Usher, they were a little confused. Sure, they're the youngest of the competition, but their vocal talents are completely different. Usher paired them together because he knew that the two singers would help the other overcome their personal challenges: Kelly would benefit from emulating Paige's tenderness and control, while Kelly's confidence would rub off on Paige. On the battle stage, Usher's method proved to work, both singers rising to their personal occasions, although Levine and Shelton were left "desiring more." Shelton even said he didn't think either one stood out. Usher declared Bria Kelly the winner, and with only one steal left in the competition, Shelton hit his button for Madilyn Paige.

Usher's Climactic Vocals
Usher's name was written all over Team Adam's final battle pairing. First, Levine matched up Brittnee Camelle and Jake Barker, two singers he stole from Usher. Then the pair chose to sing Usher's challenging song "Climax." Usher suppressed a smile throughout their performance, and deemed it unfair to critique a performance of his own song. ...

When Macklemore texted Kendrick Lamar to apologize for , he caused an even greater firestorm than his win alone had. But not everyone thinks the backlash was warranted.

"All these rappers talking sh-- about Macklemore because of the text, but they wouldn't be saying that sh-- if I sent the text out," Schoolboy Q told The Source.. "Or if Maino sent the text out. Bro, if Maino sent the text out and put it on Instagram, n----s would be quiet. They wouldn't say nothing."

The TDE rapper, who collaborated with Macklemore on "White Walls," came to the Seattle MC's defense following plenty of criticism.

"That sh-- was wack as f--k," Drake told Rolling Stone in February regarding the text, which read, in part, "I robbed you." Drizzy, who was also nominated in the Best Rap Album category, didn't stop there, though.

"This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick," he continued. "Whether people wanna say it's racial, or whether it's just the fact that he tapped into something we can't tap into. That's just how the cards fall. Own your sh--."

Kendrick, meanwhile, wasn't as scathing with his take. "That text surprised me, but Macklemore is a genuine dude," he told Billboard. "However it panned out, I wish him much success. He touched people's souls, and no one can take that away. Really, the whole Grammy moment was incredible. Not everyone gets that shot."

In addition to the Grammy controversy, Q talks ...
