One more thought about last week, and then yippee for tonight! 
I noticed something else in this episode. There was an interesting recurring theme, of battle scars. Everyone on the team has them, everyone, and each one was shown or mentioned in this episode. Some are physical, some are emotional, and some are psychological. We are reminded of just how much this team has been through, and each and every one of them has been changed by it in so many ways.
There is Coulson’s hand, and Bobby’s knee. There is Simmons trauma, and May’s. While Fitz was deciding how best to help Simmons, he drew inspiration from the patience of his friends during his long recovery last year. And the rest are dealing with trust issues, and betrayal.
But the focus is not on how much they are hurt, but rather on how they cope, and learn, and have all become stronger. They are all a little more cynical, a little less innocent, and a little wiser. The world is a harsh place, and it has shaped and reshaped everyone on this show.
SFG 🙂
