Bobbi and Hunter prove their S.H.I.E.L.D.
loyalty but everything comes with a price
- I will say this forAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
When it does emotional storytelling, it does it well.

This weeks episode finds Bobbi being interrogated and looking worse for the wear.
agents, so what does she have to say for herself?
Id like a cheeseburger and curly fries.
THATS what Bobbi Morse has to say for herself.
A spy after my own heart… Marry me.
Hunter is being interrogated, as well, though hes disliked even more than Bobbi is.
But that could also be because hes just telling them they were on holiday, picking mushrooms.
Maybe I want Hunter to marry me actually its a toss-up.
What exactly is Bobbi doing here in Siberia?
Why did Hunter tell his captors they were attacked and THEY were the victims?
Why did they break into a top secret facility to begin with?
Yeah, Coulson is unsurprisingly not on board with this and would rather they keep a low profile.
(Spoiler alert: never.)
(By the by, things I need background on in this new series includes:Florence.
That wasnt me.Readers, I give you permission to write this for me.)
Bobbis curious where this was coming from, and Hunter says he needs a break.
probably not assassinating people on a whim.)
Are you talking about a vacation or something else?
Because of course they do.
That means they need to infiltrate, which is great because no one knows Russian.
And especially not Daisy, who dated a Russian hacker and only learned the bad words.
Come on, Daisy.
Put those hacking skills to use!
(Remember Rhodey and Tony and Hill inAge of Ultron?
All were obsessed with when it comes to aliens and robots are nuclear codes.)
They need to build a home and a sanctuary for them!
Why keep a man in restraints when he could singlehandedly take care of things?
Bobbi, meanwhile, is being shown a photo of one of the victims.
with the American government.
If she tells them, Hunter can be saved.
Bobbi is nothing but resilient, though.
spies like Mockingbird dont break that easily.
Earlier: Hunter is watching the guards while May waits for them to move out.
Hunter, it should be noted, is still bitter about the fact that Mays not really his friend.
May thinks hes selfish, and shes still pissed he was willing to let Garner die to get revenge.
She tells him thats not what S.H.I.E.L.D.
is about sacrifice for the greater good.
Even for the ones you love?
Bobbi takes off after Malick but gets stopped by a suspicious guard.
She takes him out easily but loses Malick in the process.
And thats going to be harder than usual becausethisInhuman isnt so easy to snare.
Essentially, he operates independently of his shadow.
She gives herself up, leading us to the present day situation of Hunter and Bobbi being captured.
They care about each other the way only people who have been at war with the world can.
The prime minister isnt happy because hes suspicious that S.H.I.E.L.D.
still exists and because he needs to now explain why three members of the government were murdered.
But Hunter and Bobbi arent going to escape.
They dont want new identities or for S.H.I.E.L.D.
to move their families.
And what other options are there?
Bobbi tells Coulson they took an oath to protect those in danger, and with S.H.I.E.L.D.
now in the crosshairs, the right thing to do is take the bullet.
Hunter and Bobbi drown their newly-disavowed-from-work sorrows in a bar with some much-needed drinks.
Sometimes it has muddy storytelling, and sometimes it makes character choices that I dont agree with.
Hold up: Im giving Malick the award for raising Daughter of the Year.
