Emotional, Intense and heartbreaking

This episode had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, after alternating between space and earth for the last couple of episodes, this episode takes on both fronts and propels them into new exciting directions. But the episode isn't really action heavy, most of the intensity comes from characters decisions and revelation, there is betrayal, anger, threats and tears! Also May kicking serious ass because of course she does! The flashbacks in this episode were hauntingly beautiful. This episode also brings out a mystery from earlier seasons and ties it back into the current storyline, as well as draw connections between the events on earth and the events in space, I love when the show does that, it feels like it was planned all along, even though in TV it's hard to plot stories far in advance but the AoS writers manage to make it feel seamless . I am very excited for the next episode!

Quotes
Sarge: So, how'd he die? The guy said you wouldn't leave Coulson's side, but the way you're staring at me... Did you kill him? Oh. It's the other thing. Okay. Okay, now we're getting somewhere. And he died. So sad. So this... this must be really messing with your head.
Melinda May: I didn't kill him, but I am going to kill you, and I'm gonna make sure it hurts.
Sarge: So, this imposter - what was he? Synth? Shape-shifter?
Melinda May: He was a person. What are you?
Sarge: Not buying it. Out of the whole galaxy, he just happened to be on a planet that I ended up on? Try again. What was he?
Melinda May: Decent. Everything you're not.
Sarge: Well, you know what they say - every dream is someone else's nightmare.
Melinda May: Look, *you're* the imposter. And if you don't know that, then you're worse off than I thought. I know where Phil Coulson was born, who his parents were, seen pictures of him as a kid. I know how he lived and died. Everything. So, the question you should be asking is who the Hell are you?
