Synopsis from Wiki:
Koenig subjects Coulson's team to a rigorous lie detector test, which Ward narrowly beats to maintain his cover. Coulson then takes Fitz, Simmons, and Triplett to stop Marcus Daniels, a superhuman possessing the Darkforce and former Fridge inmate who is obsessed with cellist Audrey Nathan, Coulson's former love interest. After rescuing Audrey, they devise a plan to lure out Daniels. The group overload him with energy, causing him to explode. Coulson briefly comforts Audrey before withdrawing, as he plans on telling her he is alive some other day. Meanwhile, May leaves the team, tired of Coulson not trusting her. Skye and Koenig hack the NSA to get eyes on the Hydra attack at the Fridge, forcing Ward to murder Koenig to prevent discovery. Skye finds Koenig's body and realizes that Ward is with Hydra. In order to avoid suspicion by Ward, Skye joins him as they steal the Bus before Coulson and the others return to Providence. Later, May is picked up by her mother in Ontario, Canada and is revealed to be searching for Maria Hill.
We've had a lot of action episodes recently, now we have one of complete tension - Ward is in the secret base, and we know he's a traitor, when no one else does.
The lie detector test - was disappointing that Agent Koenig was unable to use it effectively, despite Ward's attempt to throw it, and use half-truth, both of which were clever turns.
Coulson - too hard on May, but at least we have the resolution after the incident with the cello player - again, clever that this story is using everything referenced in earlier episodes.
And the tension when Sky deduces that Ward is HYDRA was exceptional - and some really good acting to show her developing panic. Even better - that she tries to take control.
And at the end, she's willingly abducted, and has figured what Ward wants from her - but hasn't yet figured out how to outsmart him on that. And IIRC correctly, it's her van that is needed for the decryption.
(Oh, I have to be really careful copying the episode titles and synopses from Wikipedia - I daren't even glance at the title for any episode that follows, let alone accidentally glance at the spoilers in the synopsis!)
