Good episode, we learn why May is called the cavalry, and why she mistrusts super powers. I like the end with Fitz and Hunter, walking him through losing a tail. Skye learns who her mom is is and we find out that Raina can see the future.

Yep, this was a pretty decent ep, especially because of May's background story. Having to take out that super-powered girl was a more than understandable explanation to quit the field service.
Another plus was the return of May's mother. However she survived, it has to be connected with her healing abilities as her super power ("gift")?
I liked the actress Dichen Lachman since Dollhouse and I hope she'll be a more regular part of AoS now. After her character as Grounder leader in The 100 was killed far too early, she should at least have no scheduling problems with her role on AoS.
