The teleportation CGI looked good as did Raina in Inhuman mode. I thought the fake shootout scene was pretty cool as well. Loved Fitz being the first to call Skye Inhuman.

Welcome back Agents of SHIELD!
Kick-ass season continuation, moving into the fast lane of sci-fi/fantasy action.
Pity poor Raina. Where is a girl to get pretty, flowered dress when she really needs one?

You guys seem happier than me. I was kind of excited it was back but my reaction ended up being "I waited two months for this?"
Didn't care for the internal continuity break to go with the external continuity break. Not impressed with the role Skye had in this episode or her new superpower (or the fact that it actually seems to be just a new superpower - though now I suspect the writers can use her whenever and however they want to handwave out of any situation with a new development from her). Not happy with ugly Raina. Not happy that Simmons has apparently lost her marbles. Not happy with the motif of the show being "I remembered how honorable and trustworthy we are. HYDRA doesn't trust each other and we can use that against them." Meanwhile, the team is lying to each other and keeping secrets (and this is nothing new). And, on the one hand, big stuff was accomplished but, on the other, it was few moments in a pretty motionless episode.
I thought we'd go back to the exact instant we left off, Skye and Raina would break through the "stuff" and they would be different in some transcendental way and something major would happen in both an action-sequence and thematic sense and we'd hit the ground running with a non-stop "we're accomplishing things" sort of episode with a sort of cinematic feel. Instead, we watched Skye sit in quarantine the whole ep and ran a single scam that felt like a B story. (Granted, if I'd have watched the certainly spoilery promos they ran practically every Agent Carter episode, I probably would have been disabused of my notions.)
I mean, it wasn't awful but it was just absolutely a non-sweeps middle of the season filler episode in feel.
But, hey, was that the former Rams defensive lineman (and Hunter) Fred Dryer getting a crater opened up in his skull in an incredibly short guest starring appearance? Most interesting thing in the ep.

She's never looked sharper.
