Another dead character comes back to life as Sunil Bakshi returns, in the real world he's a long dead Hydra goon, in this version he's Hydra's version of Bill O'reilly, including a scene where he completely hits on a female co-worker, that wasn't accidental and pretty well done.
Daisy became Quake and basically celebrated it by throwing Aida/Ophelia out a window breaking her back. In the frame work she's human, I kept expecting her to get up terminator like, but nope, she's paralyzed in the frame work.
The looking glass device that Hydra is developing is actually being built in the real world on the oil rig owned by Ivanov. The looking glass device will allow Aida to build a human body which will allow her to circumvent her programming and kill all of the main characters in the show, her current "Limitation forces her to protect them all except for Simmons and Daisy who are a threat to the Frame Work.
The relationship between Fitz and his father is complicated and we saw his dad's real character as Radcliffe basically told him that in the real world he abandoned Fitz and became a drunk and a loser after which Radcliffe was beaten within an inch of his life. So what's complex, in a scene after Fitz is told that the Shield agents escaped he threw a hissy fit and his dad dressed him down about it forcing Fitz to take a step back. After that though, Fitz informed him that he wouldn't tolerate his failure in finding the Shield fugatives.
All of the main characters have decided to leave the framework and it was decided that before they went they would release the footage of the destruction of the enlightenment center and the death of the Patriot.
This episode was about the very complex relationship between Grant Ward and Daisy. He learned that he can't go with them to the other world and he lamented that he was such a son of a bitch in the real world. Daisy basically told him that by what he had done here that there was clearly some good in real Grant. Ward then decided to pull off the suicide play and stop Hydra from stopping the broadcast. We then learn that people have gathered in front of the station to fight Hydra. The Revolution seems to have begun.
Meanwhile Fitz asked crippled Aida if he could go with her to the real world and she agreed, I think its going to be really tough to redeem him if he leaves the framework and tries to kill the shield agents in the same world.
At the same time Ivanov tells Aida in the real world that he has discovered the whereabouts of Daisy and Simmons on the Shield Jet and he's going to shoot it down.
This was a plot heavy episode with a real key focus on Ward. I can't help but think that this is the end for him and he had a great moment where he asks Daisy if he can have his Daisy back.
There were some great fight/action scenes in this episode as well, and the scene where Ophelia is blown out the window was really well done.
At the start of this series I think we all thought that Chloe Bennett was a weak actress, but she's really grown into this role. I also wanted to say that Mallory Jensen has been outstanding as Aida, and her goal isn't completely evil as she merely wants to become human and be treated as an equal.
On another note, I really hope that this show is renewed, its now gotten to the point where this season and last season have been really strong, and on top of that Phil Coulson's character really deserves a send off season.
BTW as an addon there was a really neat little easter egg for Bill Paxton in this one as during a news broadcast on the info line it noted the passing of American hero John Garrett, it was a really nice touch from the writers. RIP Bill
