I liked this episode a lot more then the previous one.
• It was great to see Sif again.
• I loved the interwoven Sif/Lorelei and May/Ward fights.
• I found Fitz really adorable after he was taken over by Lorelei.
• I liked the little Coulson/May moment at the end.
• I found it weird that Ward didn't shoot Lorelei as soon as she appeared at the bar. He knew what her powers were. I'm going to assume that she was already affecting him otherwise it doesn't make much sense.
• I loved the final scene where we learn May knows more than she's said and is spying on the team. I think it's probably for Fury or some other SHIELD higher-up. Or at least I really hope so.
I think this episode really opened up a potentially very interesting conflict - we have Coulson and Skye going 'rogue' which is something they've both shown a tendency towards in the past. Then you have Simmons who wants to take the drug to headquarters because she's loyal to SHIELD and May, if I'm right, spying for Fury which indicates that her primary loyalties lie with SHIELD. That leaves Fitz and Ward - which would they choose?
• I liked Skye's reaction to learning what saved her. She's completely right - she/they are alive. If there are side effects then they can deal with them - because they are alive. It's a good thing. Coulson's freaked out reaction to it feels a little too extreme.
• So Ward cares for someone and it's not May - is it Skye? Or someone from his past? I'm really hoping it's not Skye. Please don't be Skye.
• Ward was having a really bad couple days here. I wonder if the show is ever going to address the fact that he was raped by Lorelei?
• I kind of wish the show had gone with Sif/May/Simmons taking the lead in taking down Lorelei with Coulson and Ward taking a backseat. Female SHIELD agents called in to act as backup. The guys regulated to the Bus.
