The Girl in the Flower Dress
Agent Skye: Skye was finally caught in this episode, caught playing both sides of the field that is and you knew it was coming. As a huge One Tree Hill fan in my past life to say I squealed over Austin Nichols as her ex-boyfriend would be the understatement of the century. They're chemistry was electric and I couldn't help wishing he wasn't a bad guy so he could stay around for a longer time. I couldn't help but feel bad for Skye because she was in such a tight spot. She has grown so close to the people with in S.H.I.E.L.D. but can't let go of her Riding Tide past. At the end of the episode you learn she is just trying to find her parents, and you can't really blame a girl for that. Coulson told her that there are some things you really don't want to know the answers to, so it makes me wonder if her parents are dead or turned into like evil scientists of some sort. I am quite intrigued to learn more about her family life and why it screwed her up so bad.
The Girl in the Flower Dress: One of the creeper villains this season. She is trying to capture those with "gifts" and increase their power while teaching them how to nature it. Essentially trying to turn people with powers, famous Super villains who will be recognized for years to come and remembered. Learning that the Girl in the Flower Dress was associated with the psycho scientist from the pilot was interesting. Whenever the actress is in shows I've seen her characters are always up to no good i.e The OC and Prison Break and this was no exception. Instead of trying to help "Scorch." be remembered, they extracted his platelets that were fire resistant. At the end of the episode you are left to wonder who she was visiting in the prison and who is their clairvoyant that doesn't like to be touched.

FZZT
In one of the best episodes of the season if not THE best of the season it was refreshing to see Fitz and Simmons in the foreground and have Skye in the background. As much as I love Skye, it is nice to see new information on the other four characters we are supposed to identify with.
The Chitauri Helmet: What I love about this show which I've said every week is how the continuity from past movies and comic books always weaves its way into the show; as it should. With the perfect post Avengers tie in we learn that the firemen who were first respondents in the Battle of New York kept a Chitauri Helmet as a souvenir. A costly mistake that transferred electrostatic virus within them, killing them in a strange matter. The virus was transferred by an electric shock transferred by the friction caused by rubbing the Helmet or in Simmon's case by touching the body.
Jemma Simmons: It was nice to dive more into the emotions of Jemma, and we learned pretty quickly that Elizabeth is a great actress and nailed the emotional bits. When examining the body out in the field, Simmons gets an electric shock and eventually contracts the virus. I have always been a huge fan of the dynamic between Fitz and Simmons and am always left wondering brother/sister vibe or something more... when I figure it out I will let you know. We learned that they have always been together and are sort of a packaged deal. It became super emotional when Simmons tried to knock Fitz out and sacrifice herself so that nobody else would become infected.
Agent Coulson: You are a liar if you didn't get emotional in the Avengers when Coulson "died". It was a big deal and when this show started I wondered when they would address it and how. Last night we learned that he did in fact die for 8 seconds and recalls the experience as "beautiful". It is to be expected that he feels different and has changed because parts of him died that day in New York and they are never coming back. So what I am left wondering is how did he come back to life? The spear that Loki killed him with pierced his heart which would take more then a little CPR to revive him. So what sort of technology does S.H.I.E.L.D. have locked away that could help bring him back to life from that massive blow that quickly.
Quotes:
- "Working up a good sweat sir?" "I don't sweat... I glisten." - Simmons & Coulson
- "This guy makes Captain America look like the DUDE." - Skye
- "I'm completely normal.. a little heavy on the iron. Don't start calling me Iron Man." "I wasn't planning on it." - Coulson & May
Jammed packed action in the past two weeks and this show seems to be going in one direction and that's up with increased drama and more stories unraveling I am quite excited for it to continue. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
