- Ward was on a mission in Paris when he appeared. As he fights two gangsters with his bare hands and retrieves an illegal Chitauri high-tech device from a room, a beautiful French woman walks past him nonchalantly, changes her clothes, and walks away without changing her face. Typical Joss Whedon humor.
- Agent Maria Hill reappears. She was responsible for conveying Chief Fury's instructions to Coulson and ordering Coulson to recruit a seventh-level investigative team.
- Although the mobile headquarters is a huge plane, everyone calls it a bus.
- Much of the show's sci-fi flavor comes from Fitz and Simmons, especially Fitz's tech gadgets and dazzling tech. Fitz can not only restore the circumstances of the crime scene, but also reverse the whole process.
- Why didn't Coulson die? 99% of viewers and critics agreed: What you're seeing now is not the real Coulson, but his high-fidelity humanoid mechanical double. Maria Hill made it clear that the truth of Coulson's resurrection must never be known to him.

This show seems to especially like to abuse the science team at the end, although this episode is indiscriminate abuse. The one who chopped off his hand, is a tribute to SW again? Mama, I want to buy cod liver oil too

The first scene in the basement, when the light is on, the deep emotion in the slag-bearded ward's eyes is really unstoppable.

Melinda May: You're the man in charge, but I'm in charge of you, remember? I had two rules.
Phil Coulson: Avoid field operations...
Melinda May: ...And check in with me every few days. It's been two weeks.
Phil Coulson: And I'm flying back out tonight. I have to focus on recruitment. It's starting to wear me down.
Melinda May: The hours?
Phil Coulson: The numbers. Between the traitors, military detainees, and the sell-outs in the private sector, the people who could possibly be considered loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D. is not impressive. And they're scattered all over the damn globe.
Melinda May: Well, you have no choice but to meet them face-to-face, get a read on them.
Phil Coulson: I know, and I prefer it. But flying economy blows.

Melinda May: Hartley, Hunter, Idaho.
Isabelle 'Izzy' Hartley: What's the word?
Melinda May: In his office.
Idaho: The director requests an audience?
Lance Hunter: Oh, the man doesn't do requests. And, listen, when we get in there, no matter what you do, don't look him in the eye.
Idaho: [Concerned] Really?
Lance Hunter: Nah, he's all right.
Isabelle 'Izzy' Hartley: But you should both focus on not saying anything overly stupid.
Idaho: Yes, ma'am.
Lance Hunter: I'm not making any promises.
