History Recap / AgentsOfSHIELDS3E4DevilsYouKnow

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Daisy accuses Coulson of this in regards to Rosalind due to the former's use of FirstNameBasis, and why Coulson is so willing to work with her.

** When asked what his plan is to get back at S.H.I.E.L.D, Ward initially says that's "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E1Pilot Level 7]]" information, then says he's kidding and mocks S.H.I.E.L.D. for its bureaucracy.

-->'''Ward''': Come on, Hunter. You weren't actually dumb enough to come here all cowboy, were you?
-->'''Hunter:''' Sorry, this coming from the guy who shot his own girlfriend by mistake?

* RevengeBeforeReason: Hunter's over-eagerness to settle the score with Ward leads to the latter escaping....and May's ex-husband ([[AmbiguousSituation maybe]]) being killed.

* ShapeShifting: Daisy sees Lash's shadow leaving the site of the ambush and changing to human size, which causes her to believe that he can take human form to escape pursuit and explain how someone who stands out as much as he does can appear and disappear without being seen.

*** There is a Marvel Comics character named Dwight Frye, a.k.a. Bazooka, but since he's black, has energy-projection powers, and only ever existed in TheNewUniverse, this probably wasn't intended as a MythologyGag.

--->'''Mac''': [Lash] is like a great white shark. Built to eat, sleep--\\
'''Daisy''': And kill.\\
'''Mac''': I was going to say "make little baby sharks", but then ''{{Film/Jaws}}'' was probably twenty years before you were born[[note]]actually only thirteen years[[/note]].

* ChekovsGun: Early on, we see Ward slinging a couple of gas cans around. Later, one of the thugs threatening Andrew's life is seen carrying one of these gas cans.

* InternalReveal: S.H.I.E.L.D. and the ATCU learn the name of the Inhuman killer they're hunting.

S.H.I.E.L.D. and the ATCU begin their wary alliance by investigating an Inhuman targeting and killing other Inhumans. Hunter gets reckless in his mission to kill Ward, with the risk carrying massive risk for S.H.I.E.L.D. Bobbi, Fitz, and Simmons deal with the changes in their situations.

* AmbiguousSituation: We don't see the face (or skin color) of the dead body in the store, and Werner's reaction after it blows up could be taken as either shock at killing someone for the first time or fear that he got away. And Werner's the only HYDRA goon seen escaping the store.

* DeathGlare: May gives one to Hunter, when Andrew is attacked.
* DidntThinkThisThrough: As May lampshades, Hunter's plan to get to Ward isn't exactly well thought-out. He basically delivered the new HYDRA a whole lot of weapons and hoped for the best, which ended with him being stuffed in a trunk and brought straight to Ward. He's forced to improvise from there, which results in Ward escaping with a bullet wound and Andrew apparently dead. The only plus is that Hunter kept him from taking the guns.

* FingerFirearms: Coulson tells Fry that he has a laser built into one of the fingers of his artificial hand. Since he doesn't end up having to use it, it may have been a bluff.

* OhCrap: Ward's face says it all when he hears Hunter's voice. Followed by an even better example when he sees May.
* MercyKill: Fry claims this is why Lash is hunting down and killing Inhumans, but given that this is the only way for Fry to get relief for his powers and that Lash's words don't support the claim, it's ambiguous if he was being honest.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Hunter's over-eagerness to settle the score with Ward leads to the latter escaping....and May's ex-husband ([[AmbiguousSituation apparently]]) being killed.

'''Mac''': I was going to say "make little baby sharks", but then ''{{Film/Jaws}}'' was probably twenty years before you were born.

* TheBusCameBack: Alisha returns to assist S.H.I.E.L.D. with recruiting Inhumans to work with them.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: Daisy accuses Coulson of this in regards to Rosalind, and why Coulson is so willing to work with her.

** When asked what his plan is to get back at S.H.I.E.L.D, Ward initially that's "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E1Pilot Level 7]]" information, then says he's kidding and mocks S.H.I.E.L.D. for its bureaucracy.

* RevengeBeforeReason: Hunter's overeagerness to settle the score with Ward leads to the latter escaping....and May ex husband being killed.

* GenreSavvy: Mack and Daisy are annoyed when they figure out they're being driven in circles and know it's so the ATCU can hide things before they arrive at their facility.

--> '''Mac''': "[Lash] is like a great white shark. Built to eat, sleep--"
--> '''Daisy''': "And kill."
--> '''Mac''': "I was going to say 'make little baby sharks', but then ''{{Film/Jaws}}'' was probably twenty years before you were born."

* ShoutOut: Dwight Frye shares his name with an actor from the 1930s who's best known for playing Renfield opposite Bela Lugosi's Dracula, another sidekick to a multiple murderer.

* CallBack: When asked what his plan is to get back at S.H.I.E.L.D, Ward initially that's "[[Recap/AgentsOfSHIELDS1E1Pilot Level 7]]" information (though he's kidding).
