From wiki:
Coulson and his team investigate a series of diamond thefts by Coulson’s former protégé Akela Amador, who is being blackmailed through an explosive cybernetic eye. Coulson is able to take Amador to their plane, the Bus, while Fitz and Simmons create a similar device to hijack her feed. Ward uses the device and continues Amador’s mission while the team attempts to disarm and remove Amador’s eye. Ward is able to complete the mission, discovering mysterious carvings, while Coulson finds who he thinks is Amador's handler, only for that man to be killed through a similar device to Amador's. No longer with the cybernetic eye, Amador is taken away by S.H.I.E.L.D. officers though Coulson promises her she will have a fair trial. Before she goes, Amador tells May that something seems different about Coulson.

An interesting mystery episode, that appears to introduce a new antagonist that is different from Centipede.

Some interesting trust and morality issues here - was glad to see the rogue agent's actions ere not glossed over. Somehow Coulson's assurance that she'll get "a fair trial" came across as somewhat optimistic.

Good to see reference to Coulson being a changed man since Avengers Assemble, and some good humour in this episode - not least "Seduce him". :)

Clever ending as well, with the MI6 agent...

The series so far has some weaknesses, the entertainment value comes across as a good general all-rounder for the family.
