ok that episode was AMAZING

Spoiler!

The Frame work is literally hell,

Jemma is/was dead and though they showed a nice grave in England at the end of the last episode she was actually buried in a mass grave at the now shut down shield headquarters.

We saw that the frame work is designed to take away the things that gave people pain.

May always felt pain about killing the inhuman girl in Bahrain, so in this world she didn't kill her and the girl was bought to the States and ended up killing 30 kids in Boston. Because of this, Hydra took over and destroyed Shield and it was a popular decision as the State became more important then the individuals. For May it meant that she never lost her ruthlessness and she became the number three in Hydra

Daisy, never transformed so she work up in this world as Sky an agent in Hydra. While she expected to see Lincoln in this world, she is actually in a relationship with Grant Ward.

Coulson never joined Shield which was the source of his pain, instead he became a teacher and fully bought into the Hydra message to the point that when Hydra came to his class room to take away a suspected inhuman kid, Coulson was ok with it.

Poor Fitz biggest pain was actually his relationship with Gemma, and probably their argument over his inability to see the results of his actions. So with no Gemma in his life, he became the second highest guy in Hydra, a ruthless doctor that's ok with torture and murder. He's also a source of great power and fear.

So anyways, Gemma runs to Coulson and finds out that Coulson and none of the Shield members have memories of their real lives, not only that, but the ability to do things without consequences is extremely seductive.

Daisy actually interrogates the brother of the senator in the real world who's a inhuman, and she reveals to Grant that there is a mole in Hydra helping the inhumans. The Doctor (Fitz) takes over and torture tests poor Vijay)

Anyways Sky meets Simmons at a park bench that has a beacon that will wake them up in the real world, but Hydra shows up and they get into a confrontation with Ward who had followed them, but in a massive twist, Ward kills a Hydra agent and helps them escape, in this world, that random bit of programming that is Ward is a good guy.

Ward helps Sky and Gemma to a safe house and they decide to wake up get Yo-Yo and come back with a plan, but the beacon doesn't work, someone has rewritten the exit.

We go to Hydra headquarters as Firtz is meeting with the director who is Aida. I'm not sure if its the real Aida or not, but she assures Fitz that she's secured the exit and Fitz wants to protect what they've built and she needs his creativity and then they make out. To me I believe that Fitz actually knows he's in the frame work and because of the lack of Gemma in his life, simply doesn't care.

The last scene has Sky in Coulson's car begging him to remember her and at first he denies it, then when she emotionally tells him that she has always gone to him for help he calls her daisy.

Random thouhts

There's a flaw in the framework. Coulson had a file folder that had relics of his former life, articles in the paper, the Tahiti post card and page after page of him writing "Its a wonderful place"

The scene of Gemma crawling out of the mass grave was creepy and well done.

In the classroom Coulson was asked if Hydra were Nazi's and he said that Hydra had been around for 100's of years so they couldn't be Nazi's.

There were no funny lines in this at all unlike most agent of shield episodes, I thought that was really well done as this is an entirely dark and evil world.

May is a complete monster, it seems like her desire to not kill the kill and then seeing it blow up in her face has stripped her of all of her humanity.

There was a really nice touch with all of the almost ww2 era propaganda posters on every wall.

All in all a terrific episode to return the series too TV, it was dark and grim and we almost felt there was no hope until the very last line in the episodes. We know there's a resistance but we don't know who's in it, however we didn't see Mack in this episodes so either he's completely stepped away from it all or he's in the resistance, but they didn't even try to find him.

We also didn't see the mad scientist guy who invented the frame work, I have this theory that he was thrown in and his biggest regret was Aida so he's going to be in the resistance.

Loved it.
