I'm wondering if Ward's escape might be his brother's idea. If his admittedly unreliable childhood narrative is correct, Ward's brother had him doing some bad things. I could see how the senator might find it useful to have an agent like that available in the world with some plausible deniability attached. If the senator said, "Bring him to me in this manner," and said manner was something the senator knew Ward could escape, the end result would look like what we saw. Meanwhile the senator could be all, "How did that notorious criminal escape?"
Dawn: Are you kidding? Dr. Keiser: I never kid about my amazing surgical skills.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Still, regular handcuffs? Ordinary people without his training have dislocated their thumbs to get out of handcuffs.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yeah, I was all like "Oh, wait for -- yep, there's the fucking thumb."

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Seriously, "don't give him an inch" wasn't supposed to refer to his cuffs, but the closeup that showed how loose they were had me convinced I could have slipped them.
Did like the line to Simmons about how he didn't know Fitz before so he doesn't think of him as broken. I have a friend who was badly burned in a fire and I've often been glad I didn't know her before - I don't see what she's lost, so she's just who she is.

I mean, he's the fucking superspy, your best and brightest, and you have random lackeys transporting him? With regular cuffs?
I'm pretty sure that Coulson meant for Ward to escape.

Also, the Brugges fight scenes were badass. The main baddie's mistake was getting too close to May. NEVER do that!
Also also, I would like a Tshirt that says, "WWMD?" because basically she'd just give you a look that shuts you up. A very useful superpower.

I lied, I need to share this image from the Mary Sue. It is true on so many levels.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm pretty sure that Coulson meant for Ward to escape.
I seriously hope so, because there's really no other excuse for those handcuffs.
Poor FitzSimmons.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
One thing I forgot to mention: May's been married before? Was I reading her look in response to Bobbi's question correctly?
