Who are they setting up to inherit HYDRA now? Von Strucker?

I was surprised no one said anything in the thread at the time but they mentioned him in that first scene around the hydra table with wine, but the guy said it with a heavy accent so I almost didn't catch it.

Yeah I had captions on so I caught it. I wonder if they're just setting up Age of Ultron fallout and we're just gonna have Muad'dad/Inhuman people as the remaining antagonists for the season (and whatever Bob and Mac, and Ward end up doing)

Awesome episode. It was hilarious how EASY it was to tricky Hydra into killing each other off. That's the downside to being in an evil, secretive organization built aroun d backstabbing. No trust at all.

Best plan that Coulson has ever had.

I hope they deal with the Skye stuff quickly or it will be super annoying.

Her jumping from zero to kill all mutants people with powers was pretty drastic and lol. Could have built up to that more slowly.

Simmons had that whole flirty thing going on with Tripp, she liked him a lot. I'm not surprised that she didn't take his death well and is lashing out a bit at that kind of stuff in response.

Yeah, it wasn't completely out of nowhere given her relationship with Tripp, but it did feel kind of rushed. Oh well.

Don't forget that Raina also just superkilled three people right after she watched them wheelbarrow out Tripp's remains. That has to be traumatic.

Yeah, I'm willing to give Simmons a little room here. She's clearly not in her right mind. Although, it did seem like did noticed that something was weird with the blood samples before Fitz got her out of the lab. I'm sure nothing will come of that.

That had to be a terrifying moment for Skye. Simmons is normally the nicest person on the team, and her going all PURGE THE UNCLEAN while poor Daisy Poots is still dealing with being an inhuman... grim.

Whoever Mack and Bobby are working for would need to have for-knowledge about the cube, because last I checked Coulson has been keeping the thing secret. So it's either Fury or Hill.

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
I also love the contrast they have going on for Skye and Raina. Whereas Raina is getting all this help from people who know a lot about the mist and transformation, Skye and the team are basically blind going into this stuff.

That could be a great twist on why they are after Fury's box. But would SWORD be tied up with the X-Men? I know for the fact at least their leader won't be appearing since she IS a X-Men character pretty much.

I doubt we're going to see much more of Hydra this season. That episode felt like it was wrapping the plotline up.

The first scene between Fitz and Skye was really great. I love that we're getting slowmo every time she quakes.

Originally I thought Bobbi was working for the Avengers, that was my speculation last season, but now I'm going to go out on a massive limb and say she's working for Thanos/is the MCU equivalent of a Skrull. The previews all describe her and Mac as working against SHIELD from a new force. This ties into Thor investigating whose behind Ultron and uncovering Thanos' involvement in A2.
