Warning: Spoilers
I think this is one of the best episodes this season, it's not really a favorite of mine because it's rather too depressing, but writing-wise, it is suburb! this episode could be titled the life and death of Robin, such a unique character, she sees time in a non-linear fashion, past, present, future are jumbled in her mind, so she warns of people deaths after the fact or she tells people info that they won't need for years!! the flashbacks were quite powerful as we get a glimpse of what our team would look like in the future and it is sad! it was confusing the first time I watched it because I didn't catch the loop idea until the last flashback (when Fitz mentions it), but when I thought about it, it makes sense. Though I have spent way too much time trying to explian it to my sister so perhaps it's not as understandable as I think it is, that said, I love that the show took this approach to time travel, framing it as a series of events that keep repeating but the agents experience them out of sequence, sort of makes it harder to follow but more interesting than things we have seen a million times before! I gotta say, Ming Na was great this episode, seeing May be a mother figure to Robin was so unexpected, but Ming pulled it off and by the end of the episode I was so invested in that relationship I cried! Also shout out to Mack and Yoyo, as far as B plots go, they had very cool fight scenes, and they balanced out the episode! One more thing, while I don't think Voss has the right to off Daisy, I totally understand where he is coming from, I just wish he didn't kill Deke's dad, kinda hope Deke got to meet him, I was sad we didn't get to see that!
