It was okay, in my opinion. I really liked Constance Zimmer's character and Iain De Caestecker's performance was great (especially in that final scene). I also liked seeing Joey's reactions to the unexpected chages happening to him, but while I can see why they attempted to make the isolation caused by having superpowers by showing how it is similar to being rejected for being gay, I can think of another example where it was done more subtely (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxLrH5ydSMM).

I'm looking forward to the plotline of Hunter going after HYDRA and I wonder if Ward's leadership of HYDRA could lead cause a lead-in to Civil War by having his faction of HYDRA get on the wrong side of another one (possibly Baron Zemo's).

As for Lash, I think he looks awful and I don't find him scary. Between him and the way Cal looked after he transformed into Mister Hyde last season, I think the show needs to stop attempting to exceed it's reach with the effects. As much as I love practical effects, these are prime examples of why CGI and motion capture are sometimes the better option, and why a TV show that doesn't have the budget to pull something off in a convincing fashion should instead do something the can pull off.
