Poor Fitz. Tell Simmons you love her! And her say, "I know, you doofus, I love you too"! He really is coming unglued all over the place.

To be honest, I'd forgotten about Skye's van and network of hackers. Her van probably got cannibalized by SHIELD, and I thought most of the hackers got arrested.

At least there was a mention of Stark.

"Huh." How very Coulson. "If I step out, are you going to shoot me? Because if you are, I'm not going to step out."

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was screaming at the TV not to restart Ward's heart. heh.

I really kinda loved Hill in this. She even got to do a little asskicking with Coulson!

Hubby was sure it was a fake heart attack, but Ward was certainly pissed.

Hooray for Skye's reasonable reaction to Ward still trying to woo her into cooperation! I don't think she ever considered believing him.

My one major objection to Skye's plan was starting the 'you are disgusting' speech before the cops actually got their hands on Ward. It was very, "let me tell you my diabolical plan, Mr. Bond."

Connie mentioned my fave line of the episode, "Cuz, if you are, I'm not going to step out." Perfect delivery.

I didn't love that Hill was all defeatist. Maybe she was just being realistic, but after everything she went through in the Avengers, I'd have expected her to be more gung ho with the saving the world from Hydra...vs. rolling over because all the toys are gone.

Speaking of toys, poor Lola. Man. She's a beater now. I loved that Coulson said, "I can't talk about it."

Wow, that was a lot of plot in that episode. Tons of shit went down.

I'm pleased we didn't get weeks of the team not knowing about Ward, and/or chasing around after Skye. Or weeks of Skye trying to fool Ward while he gaslights her.

I did think the bit with Ward admitting his feelings was interesting, because it really is basically like a psycho with a fixation--rather Spike-like, actually. Except he's got none of Spike's charisma.

I am however having a problem with thinking of Skye as someone really creative and impressive and cool under fire when she comes across as so damned young. I don't know how old Chloe Bennett is, but Skye looks like she's about 20.

May climbing out of Coulson's grave was pretty damned awesome. And I wonder: what does she think about Ward, and having missed identifying his true loyalties?

Oh, and I loved Mike pointing out to Ward that it wasn't personal. Heh.

I think we're supposed to think that she learned how to survive on her own at a very young age, but the show did such a shitty job of building character in the first third of the season that she's also been the wide-eyed ingenue for way too long.

Man, Coulson just can't catch a break.

I was so proud of Skye for leaving the message, I'll overlook a lot of what y'all are complaining about. And seeing Maria Hill and Coulson slip seamlessly take out all the special forces guys with no verbal consultation made me very happy,

Mike Peterson's "just following orders" line was perfect.

Lola! The blase parking guy asking for $20 bucks had to be done, but Coulson reaching for his wallet really sold the bit to me, somehow.

"Huh" is right, Phil.

I laughed out loud at the LA parking bit. So true! Yeah, your car just fell out of the sky. What? $20.
