Episode Summary & Review

Summary

The team follows a series of clues left by the Superior designed to bring them to their opponent’s base… and the trap that he’s set for them.

Our Take

A middling hour that pads out the Superior storyline with a lot of running around after clues. The flashbacks to Coulson’s past add some weight, and the final confrontation lands a decent twist, but the middle section drags badly. Worth watching for the ending alone, just don’t expect much momentum getting there.
