Featured in this episode is a return of a great guest star, Coulson gets a surprise visit from a doctor, and Ward spends some quality time with his brother.
First the guest star: Atwell's Agent Carter! Seeing as this was more of a precursor to her show released during the hiatus of season 2. Atwell gives off such a great performance as a professional, brave heroine that she brings such a great little extra to this episode.
We also get an insight in Daniel Whitehall's past, how he aged over the years in prison and later regained his youth through a woman, very possibly Skye's mom. Although, seeing Skye's dad's reaction to her body is kind of making that possibility almost a guarantee.
Coulson gets his first meeting with Skye's dad, while trying to get Trip healed from a bullet. MacLachlan is such a great addition to this show as an emotional, impatient man wanting to reunite his family. I cannot wait for him to meet Skye as that it is going to be so curious as to how he will react.
Speaking of family reunions, Ward visits his brother for a little heart to heart. Seeing that it was actually a well is not that surprising but it is also really powerful seeing how Ward just wants closure on what really happened. However, after what he did to Christian and his parents, it's great that Ward hasn't changed in his unpredictability and is still staying true to the villain that he does so well.
I'm really happy that Coulson is trying to bring Fitz back onto the team and I'm really glad that he is recovering nicely. Plus, we also got a look as to where this alien city is, which looks like somewhere in the Caribbean.
+ Carter! + Whitehall's origin + MacLachlan (and his meeting with Coulson) + The Ward family barbecue
Final Score: 9.6/10
