    • Trivia
      Daniel Whitehall subjects the captured Agent 33 to the Faustus Device. In the MCU, the Faustus method of brainwashing was developed in the 1940s by Dr. Ivchenko (aka Dr. Faustus) who appeared in the first season of Agent Carter (2015).
    • Goofs
      When May says that the Maribel del Mar cargo ship is frozen in ice in the Port of Casablanca, Triplett's reply is: "Iceberg in the Middle East?" Casablanca is in Morocco, on the Atlantic coast of Northwest Africa quite far away from the Middle East.

    Rewatch thoughts
    Another great episode, this episode starts with a happy rom-com-esqe song, which I've had on my playlist for the past 4 years after hearing it on the show, it's not really relevant just an interesting fact. Anyway, I liked the return of Donne, the introduction of Hydra's brainwashing techniques, and finally getting to see what Jemma is up to. Also this episode features one of the award worthy performances by Iain (Fitz) which brings me to tears everytime I watch it.
