* HYDRA's Inhuman Giyera has a couple of villainous awesome moments in this episode.
** His entire fight with Melinda May was this, with him not only capable of holding his own against her, and he ''nearly'' won the fight against one of SHIELD's best close combat fighters.
** How did Giyera escape from the containment cell aboard the Zephyr? [[spoiler: He sneaked a buckle from outside the containment cell and used the aforementioned object to pry the cell doors open.]]
** [[spoiler: Special mention goes to him stopping Coulson's punch by controlling the latter's prosthetic hand and then knocking Coulson out.]]
** [[spoiler: Surrounded by SHIELD agents on board the Zephyr? No problem. He used his telekinesis to seize control of the Zephyr's controls, putting the entire command plane into a steep dive, not before pulling up at the very last moment and knocking almost everyone out except May. Then when May calls for help from Daisy and Lincoln, he walked over casually and dispatched her too, taking out the majority of SHIELD's command structure in one fell swoop. Dangerous? Without a doubt. Awesome? Absolutely.]]

That's your opinion (he actually got hit with a shockwave and still stood) fact is, had Charles not saved her, she would have died. And you don't get to delete what other people find awesome.

It's not a Curb Stomp Battle, it's a sucker punch. The only reason he was in the fight at all was because he hit her from ambush. If it had been anything remotely close to a fair fight, he'd have gotten his ass kicked.

* Bobbi and Hunter's HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:They're faced with a no-win situation: Either the American president acknowledges SHIELD exists and secures their freedom at the cost of potentially starting a war with Russia, the American President acknowledges SHIELD exists but disavows the organisation to secure US-Russian relations and leave them to their fate, or the president denies SHIELD exist and Hunter and Bobbi are framed for espionage and terrorism. No matter what, either they lose, SHIELD loses, or the United States loses, so what do they do? They allow themselves to be disavowed; the president is able to deny SHIELD's existence and maintain relations with Russia and their actions at least prompt the Russian Prime Minister to spare their lives, but they're now burnt, unable to work for any legitimate spy agency, and cursed to be followed and monitored for the rest of their lives. Its a huge sacrifice as it means they can't even say goodbye to their friends, but they did it with almost no hesitation to prevent potential war. Why? Because they ''are'' the Shield that protects people, and that's what they do.]]

** Not just that, he saved May's life by picking up a gun and shooting a mook that got the drop on her. Fitz's not even remotely cleared for combat, and, judging by the way he tossed away said gun after the deed was done and the floods of tears afterwards, that's probably the first time he's killed someone. Fitz is really stepping up to the plate, no matter how terrified and unwilling he might be.

And points to him for diving under a desk instead of freezing or trying to fight, realizing that he'd just get in May and Coulson's way.

* The team's fight with Creel before Talbot clears things up shows some impressive creativity with his powers. Faced with electricity-shooting Lincoln, he grabs a tire to turn himself into non-conductive rubber. May fixes that by hitting him in the head with a steel pipe, at which his head instinctively turns to steel, and Lincoln zaps him before he's able to change it back.

** Thomas gets a tiny CMoA as well. He asks to talk to Ward while Bobbi traces the call, and he uses the opportunity to tell Ward ''exactly'' what he thinks of him by calling him out especially on the horrific way he murdered their parents and older brother.
* Despite knowing exactly how far Ward is willing to go - and ''not'' knowing how far Malick might be - Simmons faces them with open defiance, meeting Ward's attempts at intimidation with verbal barbs. Even when he moves onto outright torture she doesn't crack.

* Coulson's plan to scoop out the ATCU is brilliant. He uses Lash's containment unit, Skye's hacking, Bobbi's spying, and Hunter's ability to "waste time and run his mouth" to undercover the Science Division's darkest secrets. All the while, he tricks their leader into walking into a trap, completely isolated, and no choice but to come completely clean. Finally, he's been working towards this ever since Rosalind said "Tahiti", or in other words, since they first met. Stuff like this is why he's the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

'''Doctor:''' If I let go of this clamp, he dies. I just sliced this man's brachial artery. ''(Smiles)'' Mr. Coulson, hand me the gun.
