Non Spoiler Review- Definitely the best episode of 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' so far. We meet new faces, learn about some of the shows secrets like the alien writing, Skye's father, and further setup for the future of the season. We also character development for Fitz, Simmons, Skye, Reina, Coulson, and Bobbi Morse (who is new in this episode), as well as Skye's father. Overall a great episode and I'm eagerly anticipating next week's episode!
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1. Mockingbird- The best parts of the episode was the introduction of Bobbi Morse, also known as Mockingbird. I liked the reveal that she was also undercover amongst Hydra so she could watch Simmons. She has an awesome action sequence where she takes out some Hydra agents which is familiar to the Black Widow scene from 'Iron Man 2'. I have a gif above displaying part of the scene.I'm excited for the future of the character and can't wait to see her kick some more Hydra butt.
2. Skye's father offers to help Hydra- the big twist of the episode was the ending where Skye's
father comes to Hydra for help. He tells Whitehall in the Obelisk's native language it is known as The Diviner and that he knows more about it and tells Whitehall he will teach him how to use the Obelisk in exchange for killing Coulson and all of S.H.I.E.L.D. So I'm assuming we'll learn much more about the obelisk in the future. It looks like Whitehall is planning on using it as a WMD to kill all of Hydra's enemies though which is revealed in a conference meeting after Hydra attempts to replicate it's effects at a party.
3. Fitz and Simmons reunited- One of the short moments that was very great was that Fitz and Simmons are finally reunited. I have two gifs above that show the scene. i like how fitz was so used to seeing the imaginary Simmons that he wasn't sure she was real. He also seemed to speak more clearly so maybe Simmons will help to improve his condition but I doubt the full brain damage can be undone.
4. Reina attempts to blackmail Coulson- Another big twist is that Reina blackmailed Coulson demanding Skye in return for not telling Hydra that Simmons is undercover. I was very shocked that Coulson was ok with this but we now know that was because Bobbi Morse was there to extract her safely.
5. We learn more about the alien drawings- We now know that the language is called The Diviner and that it is most likely some kind of map. Also Coulson tell Skye everything he knows and that it's a negative reaction to the GH drug but something in Skye prevented her from having a similar reaction.
