SYNOPSIS
In order to find the Clairvoyant, the team boards a train in Italy on which a Cybertek Inc. security group is shipping a package to Ian Quinn. During the operation, the group is exposed, forcing Coulson and Ward to flee the train. May also goes missing, but when Coulson and Ward track her down, they learn the team was sold out by Italian contact Luca Russo, who is killed by May. The team finds the train and Simmons, but Fitz and Skye are gone, having already followed the package to Quinn's mansion. Skye is confronted by Quinn, who reveals that Mike Peterson is alive, having been kept in a hyperbaric chamber. Inside the package is a high-tech prosthetic leg that he fits onto Peterson's amputated right leg. Peterson leaves to carry out the Clairvoyant's orders, while Quinn shoots Skye twice in the stomach and leaves her for dead. S.H.I.E.L.D. raids the mansion and the team discovers Skye after capturing Quinn. Simmons can only sustain Skye temporarily by placing her into the hyperbaric chamber. Peterson, who has gained his new prosthetic leg through "Project Deathlok", is denied a request to see his son by the "Clairvoyant".

It's a shame Quinn couldn't be a standalone antagonist, against even Centipede - that could have made for some interesting unholy alliances later in the season.
Wasn't keen on the way they kept cutting back to the same moment in the train, either, so as to follow different characters from the same point. Kudos for experimenting, though.
However, the ending - WOW. Skye. Twice. I was not expecting that.
