History Recap / AgentsOfSHIELDS2E5AHenInTheWolfHouse

* AxCrazy: Skye's father has some... issues, to say the least.

** Simmons delivered messages to SHIELD by dead drops, using a sheet that could transcribe her words and then disguise itself as a fast food wrapper. She previously addressed Coulson's complaints about the lack of food in her fridge by noting all her dead drops involved fast food.

* ImAMonster: How Skye's father views himself. He wants nothing more but for her to not see him this way, but unfortunately, that's how she comes to view him after finding his handy work.

* MissedMomentOfAwesome: During the extraction, Bobbi stays back to hold off HYDRA's forces by herself, with a smirk as she gets ready to kick ass. We don't see it, but given she gets out fine, save for one last guy chasing her, which leads to one obvious answer as to [[CurbStompBattle what happened to the other agents]].

** Hunter complains about Bobbi's hair, say he preferred seeing her as a blonde. Mockingbird's hair color is typically blonde[[note]]this probably was a nod to fans as well, who were concerned about Bobbi having brown hair in early shots[[/note]].

** Also, on the topic of Bobbi Morse, after she reveals herself as SHIELD by beating up two HYDRA goons, the [[https://38.media.tumblr.com/02f58cebb337f373377a52fcd1ea3ea4/tumblr_ndts5dpJCi1r1wyxno2_500.gif pose she strikes]] is very similar to the cover of the [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/61/Hawkeye_mockingbird1.jpg/250px-Hawkeye_mockingbird1.jpg first issue]] of ''Hawkeye And Mockingbird''.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: Simmons has to plant her message pad in her Hydra partner's desk to avoid being outed as a spy, even though they were friendly with each other. Of course, he ''was'' rather excited at the prospect of creating a weapon of mass destruction that could kill billions of people, which probably softened the blow.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Of the ex-wife variety. We finally meet the ex-wife Hunter won't shut up about. It's Bobbi Morse.

* RememberTheNewGuy: We meet Bobbi Morse for the first time; however, save for Simmons, and presumably Skye and Fitz, everyone already knows her, in fact, and she seems to be pretty good friends with Mack and Trip, as well as highly respected and trusted by Coulson.
* SadisticChoice: Raina offers one to Coulson: let her take Skye to see her father, or she'll blow Simmons' cover at HYDRA with an automated e-mail. Coulson lets the clock run out, as he has a trump card: Simmons isn't the only mole he has at HYDRA.
* ShoutOut: Bet you never thought you'd see a [[http://marvel.com/universe/Hellcow Hellcow]] reference in this franchise did you, true believers?
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: HYDRA's head of security being [[ComicBook/{{Mockingbird}} Bobbi Morse]], and thus a DeepCoverAgent rather than a villain, was a plot twist in the episode, but it was spoiled already by months of hype concerning the character combined with the fact that [[IKnewIt pretty much everyone knew]] [[LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt that they wouldn't actually]] turn an actual ''Avenger'' [[AdaptationalVillainy into a villain]]. A few obscure SHIELD agents like Sitwell, Pierce, and Garret? Sure, but not a co-founder of the West Coast Avengers.

* VillainTeamUp: In TheStinger, Skye's father offers to teach Whitehall how to use and survive the Obelisk. Why? They both wanna kill Phil Coulson. And everyone else.
* WhamLine: "I think it's a map."

* TheWorfEffect: Raina, who is a pretty unflappable and calm psychological manipulator, is visibly terrified in dealing with Whitehall and Skye's father. Her attempt to use Coulson to get Skye to meet her father, and its failure, is the first time she can't maintain her usual demeanor in trying to achieve her goals. The meeting between Whitehall and Skye's father really validates those fears.

* SadisticChoice: Raina offers one to Coulson: Let Skye go with her to see her father, or see Simmons' cover at Hydra blown wide open. He refuses the offer, knowing that Bobbi Morse will get Simmons out.

* TakeAThirdOption: Coulson's way of dealing with Raina's SadisticChoice of choosing either taking Skye or outing Simmons? Have Bobbi Morse rescue Simmons, inject Raina with a tracker so she'll lead them to Whitehall, and then take the whole team to find Skye's father.

* UnreliableNarrator: Hunter has spent the last few episodes repeatedly talking about his horrible ex wife. Then we meet her, and, well, [[BadAss his]] [[ActionGirl description]] [[OneManArmy is]] [[DeadpanSnarker a]] [[CoolBigSis bit]] [[FunPersonified off]].
