Synopsis from Wiki:
In flashbacks, a teenage Ward is seen in juvenile detention where he first meets Garrett, and accepts his offer to join his organization. Over the years, Garrett trains Ward, and eventually tells him about Hydra. In the present, Cybertek is revealed to fund Hydra and Centipede. Coulson and May infiltrate Cybertek to hack their system, only to find that all of Cybertek's documents were paper. They also learn that the first subject of Project Deathlok was Garrett, whose implants are failing, and who needs the Guest House drug to survive. The team travels to Havana, Cuba, where they find the H.Y.D.R.A. base, recently abandoned, and Fitz and Simmons find the captured Bus. The latter are captured by Ward, and taken aboard the Bus, which departs. Fitz uses an EMP to disable Garrett's implants. The dying Garrett orders Ward to kill them, and after the two agents lock themselves in the Bus' infirmary, Ward ejects the infirmary into the ocean. Raina injects Garrett with her synthesized Guest House drug. Initially, the drug seems to cause an Extremis reaction, but Garrett recovers. Ian Quinn attempts to sell Deathlok soldiers to the government, agreeing to give them a tour of Cybertek’s facility.
The flashbacks have me thinking that Ward must be about to redeem himself in some way, such as by turning on Garrett. (However, despite his discomfort, this never actually happens by the end of the series - making the flashbacks seem a little irrelevant - they have no effect on the plot resolution as he goes after Sky anyway).
Good to see Fitz use the EMP, but am really surprised at the level of technology that Triplett's grandfather had access to - wouldn't this stuff need to realistically exist in the 1960's??
Ward's disposal of Fitz and Simmons seemed weak - chucking them out at low altitude over the sea almost looked like not trying to kill them (though in the episode after was surprised to find that the unit actually did sink, rather than float).
