Synopsis from Wiki:
Lorelei enslaves a biker gang, beginning to create an army, while the team is summoned to investigate an energy reading from the Bifrost encountering Lady Sif, who is seeking Lorelei. She explains that Lorelei escaped imprisonment during the attack of the Dark Elves and that, to neutralize her power to control the minds of men, Sif must fit a special collar around her neck that prevents her from speaking. They fight Lorelei and her men, but Lorelei enchants Ward and escapes with him. They go to Las Vegas to elude Coulson, Sif, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. team, before commandeering the Bus. Lorelei tells May that Ward’s heart is with someone else. Sif confronts Lorelei while May fights Ward. Sif fixes the collar to Lorelei’s neck, undoing her enchantment, and returns Lorelei to Asgard. May ends her relationship with Ward. Coulson tells Skye the origin of the drug used to revive them, and despite how disturbed Coulson is by this fact, Skye remains optimistic. He orders Skye to keep the origin of the drug a secret until Nick Fury gives them the truth. Unknown to them, May is monitoring their conversation, and reporting to someone else.
This episode is a bit of a distraction after the recent climaxes - time for a breather. There's a suggestion that one or more of these Asgardians might play a bigger role in the series, but neither really seem strong enough as characters to create enthusiasm.
The main tension through the episode was Agent Ward being charmed by Lorelei, and wondering how that would effect Agent May - and then the big confrontation between the two. That was a great piece of fighting choreography, and May shines.
There's also the suggestion that Ward has stronger feelings for Sky.
However, the best part of the entire episode was the ending - the last 30 seconds or so, when it's revealed that May may be in betrayal of Coulson.
Can't wait for the next episode!
