The Honey Moon

Spoiler!

While I wouldn't say that this series is moving at breakneck speed, its certainly moving towards what seems to be the inevitable, and that's the destruction of the Earth. It just feels at this point that whatever Shield does, Hydra is one step ahead, or fate is ushering the team towards the inevitable future.

As of now, this series has broken into three distinct story lines.

The dynamic between Hale and Rudy

The Dynamic of the Daisy lead shield

The story line of Coulson and Talbot and Coulson upcoming date with the Grim Reaper.

In terms of the dynamic of the Daisy lead shield, its pretty clear that Daisy is having some problems with leadership and she seems to be striking the wrong note with the rest of the team to the point that just as we see Coulson returning, we've seen Fitz, Simmons and Yo Yo. Actually the episode ended with what I felt the writers taking a shot at the absurdity of this seasons story line as they returned to England to fight Robots. When you hear that statement in a vacuum you can actually see the humor in it.

With Fitz and Simmons and Yo yo on a mission to destroy the infusion chamber and end the cycle you almost feel hope that the world isn't going to end as they smash key components of the Chamber only to have Robo Ivanov show up with his squad of Death Troopers.

However while Yo yo managed to dispatch Ivanov and shut down the droids but we did learn that her awesome robot arms don't work with her mutant and shorted out the first time she jumped.

Meanwhile we see Ruby pursuing Talbot and Coulson, and she manages to reach them just as Daisy and her team try to extract Coulson. However Daisy and Ruby have a clash and we find out that Ruby is actually able to dodge Daisy's blasts, but Daisy wins in the end. Of course she gave an order to Deke who promptly ignored it and got critically shot for that.

When Ruby returns home Hale angrily locks her in her room, but Strucker free's her and tells her that he has the secrets of the chamber, so Ruby beats up her mom and they head to the chamber with the Gravitonium.

Of course they capture Fitz and Simmons and put them to work fixing the machine, again proving the theory of inevitability. You have a sense that Ruby is going to merge with the Graviton and the insanity of Quinn and Hall and all hell is going to break loose.

So at the end of the episode just when things aren't bad enough they get worse, as Talbot phones home and is activated by Hale to be a Hydra sleeper agent.

Tidbits.

Deke wakes up from surgery completely blasted out of his mind, and hilarity ensues as he asks Mack if they have a secret handshake and embarressingly admits that he loves Daisy.

Yo Yo once again tells the team that Coulson must die.

May rips into Coulson about his choices and then tells him that she loves him, but maybe its in the weird platonic way.

That particle chamber looks shockingly like Captain American's creation chamber.

When Hale raised Ruby she was supposed to raise the perfect Monster, the new leader of Hydra. Instead she's created the Frankenstein who filled with hurt and neurosis who really needs to kill Daisy and fullfil her destiny to feel whole.

3 episodes left to the end of the world.
