    Re-watch thoughts

    An awesome episode as usual, it starts with a fun hi-jinks shield mission and ends on one of the most WTF moments of the show ( I am forever grateful it was a two parter and I didn't have to wait for the next one!) . It has action, suspense, comedy, heartfelt moments, shocking twists..it's the whole package! Also that damn necklace was the cruelest trick the writers thought of, I love the hot potato game that commenced this episode!

    • Goofs
      They have Hive in stasis and being delivered to Shield's base. Even though he's the biggest villain they've faced and he could possibly ruin Earth and the human race as they know it, they have no guards around him. They treat him like a simple FedEx package and only Fitz and one agent are there to handle his move inside.
