Non Spoiler Review- A very thrilling episode with the atmosphere of a midseason finale or a larger scale episode with plenty of twists, drama, and action. This episode followed up nicely to the last episode, which I still consider to be one of the best of the series, and I can say this episode is up among the best episodes of the series as well. If this is just the buildup to next week's midseason finale, then I'm very excited to see just how grand the midseason finale will be and I think that it will definitely hold up in comparison.
*******There will be Spoilers from this point on*******
Highlights of the episode
1, Coulson dives in the portal after Ward- The episode ends with a huge cliffhanger. Hydra opens another portal and Ward takes some Hydra soldiers and Fitz through the portal with him. Coulson in his pursuit of vengence is so determined to get Ward that he jumps out of his quintet and lands in the portal to take out Ward since he had a clear shot at the portal from the quintet.
2, Secret Warriors- This episode finally gets the first team of Secret Warriors together, which will consist of Joey, lincoln and Daisy. I've been waiting for this since the season's benign since it was heavily teased before the season came out. I liked how they built up to the formation of the team but it's slightly underwhelming that it only has three meters as of now so hopefully new Inhumans will be introduced that can join the Secret Warriors soon.
3. Ward kills Rosalind- The biggest twist of the episode came in the opening scene, which seems very normal at first with Rosalind and Coulson on a date eating burgers. Then suddenly Rosalind is shot in the neck and begins to bleed out. Coulson can do nothing but sit there and watch Rosalind die unfortunately. Several blocks away Ward pulls his eye away from the sight of his sniper rifle. He then calls Coulson telling him he now knows what it feels like to lose someone he loves. I thought this was a very tragic character death, especially since viewers just got the opportunity to start to learn more about Rosalind and I liked the character especially in her scenes with Coulson as the two worked well together and had great chemistry onscreen.
4. Coulson's hunt for Ward- Despite being saddened by Rosalind's sudden death I did like how it fueled Coulson's arc this episode. This episode saw a new side to Coulson where he was very vengeful and out for Ward's blood. I thought this was a great direction for Coulson's character and thought it certainly was one of my favorite aspects of this episode.
5. Fitz agrees to help Hydra to save Simmons- I always have enjoyed Fitz Simmons moments and this moment is no exception. Fitz and Simmons are captured by Hydra due to the fact that they've been to the planet and back and know more about how to use the portal, etc. They are separated and each questioned and tortured in different ways, Simmons physically and Fitz mentally. Fitz didn't want Simmons to be harmed so he offers to help Hydra in exchange for her safety. I liked how they had a small moment before Fitz was forced to enter the portal. I hope Fitz returns from the planet as he is one of my favorite characters.
