- Quotes
Leo Fitz: [after Fitz tries to eat a sandwich and Ward throws it in the river] What the hell?
Grant Ward: There are *dogs* tracking us, and you bring a prosciutto sandwich!
Leo Fitz: I can't believe you just did that.
Grant Ward: This is a mission, not a picnic.
Leo Fitz: Oh, I'm well aware it's not a picnic, Mr. Save the Day.
Grant Ward: What's that supposed to mean?
Leo Fitz: Oh, come on. You obviously get off on it; being the guy who gets to throw the last punch, who always swoops in to save the girl. And, now you've destroyed the world's most dangerous sandwich. Congratulations.

It was great to see Fitz and Ward go on a mission together. It was good to see them bond as Fitz kept proving to Ward that he is of use in the field, winning over an angry Russian gang, using the Overkill device, and kicking a guy in the face. I liked how it led Fitz and Ward to like and trust each other even more.
Big Shield was also really interesting to see how much power they have around the world. Victoria Hand was very comic book accurate, being the hardass boss with a tactical mind. It might have seemed bland and offputting but I liked it because she was no nonsense but still likes Coulson.
Skye and Simmons' adventure bordered between interesting and awkward. While they were looking more into how much Shield compartmentalizes and sort of values lower agents less, they also gave us a really odd scene with Simmons trying to seduce and subdue Sitwell. Yeah, she's a terrible liar, but that was hard to sit through.
+ Fitz and Ward bond + Fitz in action + Big Shield and Hand - Skye, Simmons and Sitwell conundrum
Final Score: 8.4/10
