Non Spoiler Review- This episode brought the season back with a bang. It maintained the high quality episodes this second season has had so far, and proved why the show is vital to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1. Fitz helps out Skye/Daisey- Throughout the episode Daisey is kept in quarantine because the team thinks that the terrigenesis is a virus and don't understand quite how the terrigen crystal worked. Fit comes to the realization that Skye is the one who caused the earthquake when she becomes nervous and everything is destroyed in the room by seismic tremors. It seems as though he will turn on her but swaps her new blood sample with her old one so the results would matcha and the team would release her from quarantine. Fitz tells her it will be their secret, I liked this episode because it revealed that Fitz somewhat understands her because he doesn't want her to feel different and outcast as he did following the loss of oxygen to his brain.
2. Heads of Hydra are cut off- It was fun to watch Coulson dupe Hydra into assassinating each other, but he obviously didn't remember their motto that two more shall take it's place. Also the man seen with Baron Von Strucker makes a cameo and Baron Von Strucker is even name dropped. I hope Strucker appears on the show at some point because we have seen very little of him and Hydra needs some strong leadership.
3. Inhumans- We learn more about the man with no eyes we saw during the midseason finale. His name is Gordon and he can teleport after terrigenesis. At the end of the episode he rescues Reina and calls her beautiful which is odd given her change in appearance but mirrors what Skye's mom told him in a flashback. I'm curious to learn where he is taking her and how many other Inhumans he is working with but I'm sure these questions will be answered by the end of the season.
4. An interesting flashback- The flashback I discussed a little above shows Gordon as a child who just experienced terrigenesis and seems lost and confused because he is blind and can teleport which is a very strange combination of changes. Skye's mother comforts him in the flashback and it is revealed she had a hand in guiding children through terrigenesis.
5. Reina's new form revealed- The revelation of Reina's new appearance was interesting and I think it is ironic given her fascination with flowers because roses have an inner beauty and thorns. This is somewhat supported when Gordon tells her "Hello beautiful" which is similar to what Skye's mother did to comfort him in the flashback and possibly shows that she has an inner power that will be revealed to be beautiful. However she really reminded me of one of the mutants from an X-Men film who I can't recall the name of.
6. Mack and Bobbi continue scheming- So it seems that Mack and Bobbi are both still working together on some secret plot and I am very interested in learning more about it. I wonder who they are really working for given they were looking for Fury's toolbox.
7. Trip is mourned- I felt they managed to settle the aftermath of Tripp's death perfectly because each of the team was affected and they each handled it in their own way. I can tell nothing will be the same for the team after.
