From wiki:
Chan Ho Yin, a Chinese street performer with pyrokinetic abilities, is kidnapped by Raina, the “Girl in the Flower Dress”. Upon being informed of Chan's abduction, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team attempts to trace his whereabouts. Skye reveals that she knows a hacker (Miles) who could have released the information on Chan’s location and abilities. Secretly, Skye sleeps with Miles trying to undercover the truth. The team finds them and, not trusting Skye, imprisons both hackers for the flight to Hong Kong. Chan's captors are injecting him with Extremis to increase the strength of his flame powers. Raina later orders the doctors to harvest Chan's blood platelets for further experimentation. Upon being freed, Chan kills his handler and Dr. Debbie while Raina escapes. The team attempts to help Chan, but when he refuses May is forced to activate the unstable Extremis within him to kill him. Miles is released on probation, while Skye is questioned by Coulson and reveals that the reason she joined the Rising Tide and S.H.I.E.L.D is to find her biological parents. Coulson pledges to help, but fits her with a device to block any computer access. Raina visits Edison Po in prison and tells him to inform the "Clairvoyant" of the experiment results.

Another interesting episode, that connects well with the first via the Centipede storyline.
More mystery about Skye's motives, and questions raised about them - but I thought her reason was easy to guess.
Shame these hackers don't look like hackers - can we have some ordinary looking people in this soon, please?
I also can't help but raise an eyebrow at how many PoC characters need "saving" from themselves by the white SHIELD team. I suspect there's going to be a lot of discussion about that elsewhere on the internet.
