This week’s episode has an interesting title. Repairs. It wasn’t until the end of the episode, with May smiling in the cockpit, that the meaning behind the title became clear. Repairs didn’t refer to a what, but to a who. Melinda May is the resident BAMF of the Bus. We finally learn the meaning of her nickname, “The Cavalry,” in this episode. First FitzSimmons give Skye a bogus, over-the-top story as part of their pranks, but we later find out from Coulson that the true story is much darker. We also learn that before “The Calvary” incident, May was much more lighthearted, but changed and darkened a lot from that experience. It was nice to see May’s lighter side come out at the very end of Repairs.

Agent May used to be cuddly. True story.

The B-story of FitzSimmons wanting to prank Skye was my favorite part of the episode. I liked that there were callbacks to their pranks, even after the shit hit the fan. Fitz’s scream when the mop fell out of the closet as the closet door opened was priceless, made even funnier by the fact that Fitz was the one who rigged the mop to fall.

We get some follow-up on last week’s ending. Ward and May definitely slept together. May out-dudes Ward when she leaves the hotel room without him as he’s in mid-explanation about them staggering their exits so as not to arouse suspicion. I think we’re going to see an interesting triangle between May, Ward and Skye going forward. Skye and Ward definitely have chemistry. It  will be intriguing to see what Skye’s reaction will be when Ward and May are outed, and this being television, they will definitely be outed.

Ditched!

I liked the two-part twist to this week’s threat. Not only was Hannah Hutchins not telekinetic and pyrokinetic, but the man trapped between dimensions who was stalking her was benevolently motivated. This was a cool take on the “Why are these weird things happening all around me?” story.

I’d call this another solid episode. FitzSimmons continue to shine. Hopefully the writers agree that they’re the best parts of the show and give them more screen time in the future.
