With all the espionage this show feeds off and all the 'Superheroes' it serves, I find it fascinating that after just 2 episodes this season, the most intriguing story line centers on Fitz and Simmons. There is just something universal about wanting to see someone at their lowest point in life to rebound and regain their former self. It's not much, but every time Fitz is on the verge of remembering something, it's a huge win. Really looking forward to finding out what has become of Simmons and what her relationship will be toward Fitz. Most likely.....not good. There will definitely be some resentment from him toward her once he does remember that she bailed on him.

Well, we finally get the answer we have all been waiting for since the start of the season and it's a doozy. It turns out that the reason Jemma Simmons left SHIELD and Fitz is that she is now working as a mole in Hydra. If they can't defeat them from the outside, why not try from the inside. I think their intention is noble and that they think this is a good idea that is going to work. But this is how I see it playing out. Eventually Simmons will in fact be turned and become a real soldier for Hydra and the one person that will be able to bring her back to the good side will of course be Fitz. It HAS to be him and I think in the process of bringing her back, it will in essence save himself.....bringing back the part of him that is now missing. I really liked the scene where Fitz confronts Ward for the first time since he tried to "kill" him and Simmons. Very powerful moment for everyone involved.

Even though I knew that Adrianne Palicki as Mockingjay would be making her debut in this episode, I knew absolutely nothing about the character and it paid off in a big way for me at least. Everyone else that is an avid reader of all things Marvel and the characters within already knew what I didn't know...that she is an Avenger. But since I was completely in the dark about her, I really did buy that she was a Hydra soldier. So when Raina threatened to exposed to Hydra that Simmons was the mole and Coulson didn't back down and let her become the 'sacrificial lamb' for the team, it was with great glee that I saw Bobbi / Mockingjay "turn" on Hydra to extract Simmons from danger. The other cool thing was seeing her in action. She's kinda like the Black Widow in a way. If you can't get Scarlett Johansson on the show, this is the next best thing. The long awaited reunion between Fitz and Simmons was more sad that anything else. She really f*cked him up by leaving.

Damn good episode that finally reveals exactly what Coulson and other Tahiti patients have been writing. Turns out that it's a City. What City.....who knows. Where it's at.....your guess is as good as mine. Even though we didn't get everything, it was enough to make this a solid hour and I like that Ward is now out and about and seemingly handing SHIELD high priority targets, which makes me think that my initial thought of him being a Triple Agent back on point. Why am I not surprised to see Joel Gretsch pop up on this show? He seems like a perfect fit given all his other alien-ish series he has done over the years. I hope that Brian Van Holt has a much larger role to play in the future.
