*SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE FOLLOW*
So after last weeks weaker episode we were straight back into the action this week as Coulson and the team came to the realisation that everyone's faviroute moody agent was Hydra. (And no I'm not talking about Mai) But we picked up straight where we left off last week with Coulson and the team co I back to find a empty base with the place deserted and one dead agent with a subtle message. We also saw Maria Hill star in the show this week and oh how I wish she was full time cast member because she was brillaint. It tied nicely in with the end of Cap 2 which if you haven't seen yet then why the hell are you still watching Sheild because that film is spoiled for you now. It was also a great chance to see her and Coulson on screen together who we haven't seen this pair up since Avengers when Coulson met his death.
So Maria Hill came back this week as she left just one of many meetings and interviews about Sheilf and how she had to try and explain how this top goverment agency had been compromised. It was also great to see her just look around and pick out all the people following her from the woman not really reading her texts to the fake tramp with a trolley. That was until they all mysteriously ended up knocked out on the ground when we find out ninja Mai got rid of them so that her and Maria could chat privately. Mai played a small role in this weeks episode as she tried to find out the secrets of the Tahiti project and uncover the secrets that even she didn't know about the cover up. But we're get to that secret later because it was a shocker to put it bluntly. But Maria and General Talbot who if I am getting it correct is the general that chases down Bruce Banner in the comics someone can let me know if that's right or wrong. But they turned up at the base this week where Maria put it out straight for Coulson that there was no more sheild and that their team should just go their separate ways now. That agent fury wasn't coming back and that the task he was taking on to take down Garret wasn't a mission anymore but a personal vendetta. It was just the words that Coulson had to hear seeing as he has still been going under the assumption that there was a organisation to fight for. It was good to see the first real cameo from one of the cinematic universe characters seeing as thier previous attempts such as the woman from Thor and Nick Fury cameo haven't exactly been amaizng. It was a much better episode for the show this week and a lot of they I feel comes from Maria Hills inclusion in the episode.
So Mai had a small part to play this week as she left the team last week and was picked up in a car by her mother where we quickly learnt that it's very much mother like daughter. So after findingg Maria and explaining to her the situation she goes in search for answers by digging up Coulsons grave. (Remember as far as the rest of the world is concerned Coulson is dead) She digs up his grave to get the one remaining peice of evidence that they buried in his empty coffin a tape on project Tahiti. It's a level 10 tape that can should only have been watched by Director Fury but those times are over. So this was the biggest shock of the episode and it really changed things up because I feel the Reveal at the end of the episode really answered more questions about the project. So we eventually find out at the end of the episode that it was a video from Coulson to Fury I know shock moment that was. It was great because I don't know if anyone else was the same but I just wasn't expecting it at all. So in the tape he is handing in his resignation as he can't bring himself to be part of the Tahiti project any longer. He also advices that they cancel it and destroy any evidence of it that this avenger revival programme was a death sentence and the subjects that they used on it didn't survive for long after. That the only way they managed to combat the effects (this is where I feel he should have kept his mouth shut) is by wiping thier memory's so that they have no memory of it ever happening. It was a shock for Coulson and it makes me wonder what will happen to Coulson and Sky now because they both have the serum inside of them. It also brings the situation into question of that where does that leave Coulson now because now he knows the truth will his mind slowly start deteriorating until he loses it compelty. With only two episodes left I'm sure that we will see this situation worsen as he's now lost everything that ever mattered to him. Well I'm sure that we are in for an exciting two last epsiodes especially as Ward becomes more and more loyal to Hydra and thier cause.
So talking of Ward how he just annoys me he's the male version of Mai isn't he he has no expression on his face whether he's happy sad or angry it's all the same face. So him and Sky made thier way to LA as Sky started to decrypt the file for Ward or well that's what he thought anyway. She was actually just biding her time till the team could get her location and get her back safely. I inj the stand out point of Ward and Sky scenes this week was when she punched him in the face it was just so satisfying to watch because I never liked his character anyway and I like him even less now. So along with Ward sky had to deal with Deathlock who Garrett sent I would guess to make sure that Ward stayed on task and didn't let his feelings get in the way. Also he knew that Sky wouldn't let him die so they used him almost dying to get the file back. Their scenes were where the episode felt weak for me as Ward has always felt like the weakest character of the show as they have never developed him in anyway. But next week that is certain to change as we find out just how this young man became a ruthless killer for sheild. Sky also has a bad poker face as she tried to stall long enough for the team to find the plane which they eventually did and Coulson being her knight in shinning armour saved her. As they escaped in his red flying car that we haven't seen since the premiere episode I think. It was great little scene and it reminded me of a low budget winter Soilder scene instead of a helicarrier falling out of the sky it was a car.
I think the person that I really felt for this week is Fitz most because he's my faviroute character is the show and the relationship between him and Simmons has been great how it's developed over the last few weeks. Seeing Fitz finally lose it this week with everything has his friend turned out to be Hydra you felt for him because it looked like his whole world had just come crashing down. The whole episode I felt centered around how the team dealt with the shock of Ward being Hydra. Seeing everyone take it in a diffrent way was great and I just would love to see Mai or Coulson fight it out with him because he certainly needs a good kicking for what he's done. While the episode wasn't perfect I think the last few episodes has left things in a good position heading into the finale and who knows maybe were see Coulson make an appearance in Avengers 2??
But overall the episode was much stronger this week with the shock ending it just put the icing on the cake to a brillaint thrilling episode of the show. We had a flying car crashing out of the sky, Deathlock action, ward getting a smack in the mouth how could it get any better really. Just bring on the final two epsiodes as this show is going from strength to strength.
