Where to begin with this episode?

MVP goes to Coulson for taking down a HYDRA cell. He sent not one but TWO S.H.I.E.L.D. agents into Whitehall's liar to get intel and have a back up plan. Didn't see Bobbi Morse - head of HYDRA security - to be S.H.I.E.L.D. I loved it when Coulson called Raina's bluff and didn't flinch about her threat to out Simmons. He let it happened. The look on Raina's face was priceless - she knew she was dead woman walking when she saw Coulson wasn't going to cave. Budget Lorelei needs to come up with a new tactic - her passive-aggressive seductress act is not working anymore; Coulson, Whitehall, and Skye's psychotic dad are proof of that.

Honorable mention to Simmons for throwing her skeevy lab partner under the bus during HYDRA's mole hunt. Thinking it's cool that millions, possibly billions would die under HYDRA's latest world domination scheme? Planting those missives on his desk - brilliant. Whitehall, Bashi and co. are NOT going to believe Creepy Lab Partner's claims that he didn't know that Simmons and Bobbi were S.H.I.E.L.D. (he truly didn't know)  - they'll kill him just to be sure and to make an example of him. Snitches end up in ditches.

HYDRA's payback is the next episode - framing S.H.I.E.L.D. for an attack on the U.N. Ruining's S.H.I.E.L.D.'s reputation (again) is not going to be enough. Coulson made a fool out of Whitehall with that infiltration....he may send a mole right back to destroy S.H.I.E.L.D. from within. Speculation is wide that Bobbi is the mole...we didn't see her take down Bashi and HYDRA goons. Could it be Simmons? She mentioned "happy to comply" when she returned to S.H.I.E.L.D.'s base of operations. Whitehall noticed her in Dr. Evil's (my name for Whitehall) staff meeting.

Thoughts?
