An absolutely stellar star for the season, this episode establish a grim tone that will haunt the show for the rest of days, but it works! Shield is in the crossfire, held together by the willpower of few agents, those who come back from season one are changed by the months that passed, some have left? new faces arrive and some old faces return,some come and leave right away, which sucks because I liked them a lot just in that one episode!
The heartbreaking stuff with Fitz is not easier on rewatch, particularly for anyone who watched past certain episodes in later seasons, because Fitz's arch and growth is a pillar of this show, it's almost uncanny watching it unfold!
I also really loved the music in this episode, as well as the production design, Creel's powers are dope and Coulson's speach game was on point! so many good quotes!
