Agents of SHIELD - 'The Frenemy of my Enemy' and 'The Dirty Half-Dozen'

Agent 33 looks pissed, probably because despite having a knife to Fitz's throat,
no-one is covering her.

In order to infiltrate HYDRA and... Okay, I think they were working on the basis that HYDRA probably knew something about Gordon, but to do it they team up with Ward, promising him a bright and mind-wiped future in exchange. They infiltrate, then HYDRA goes after Gordon (largely by luck) while he's dropping off Skye and her dad. Cal gets pissed when he realises that they were going to ditch him, then HYDRA show up and he lays into them. Lincoln gets into a fight with Petersen, as a result of which they both get captured and taken to the HYDRA labs.

In Afterlife, it is becoming apparent that Raina sees the future, and one of her visions leads Gordon to drop Skye off to join a rescue mission to HYRDA's Antarctic base. Sacrificing the Bus, the original team infiltrates the base and rescues Petersen and Lincoln, but Ward goes on his way after Simmons tries to kill him, for which at least a partial yougogrrl.

All seems well, but Agent 33 is still on the base, and Gonzales clearly considers Lincoln and Skye to both be prisoners.

Winding up to the season finale, 'The Frenemy of my Enemy' and 'The Dirty Half-Dozen' suffer from the presence of Ward, although at least he isn't remotely forgiven. I'm enjoying Simmons' turn to darkness, although I hope it isn't overdone. These episodes also do a lot to set up HYDRA's experiments on enhanced for Age of Ultron.
