Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Recap: Eye-Spy

The episode begins, as we’ve seen, in Stockholm, where a group of men dressed in suits and masks make their way through a crowded outdoor square, all handcuffed to briefcases. They make their way into the subway, followed the whole time by a quiet young woman played by Pascale Armand. Once on board the train, she seems to “sense” something about the men with the cases, smashes a control box to shut out the train’s interior lights, and there’s sounds of a scuffle.When the train stops and the lights go back up, one of the men is dead and the others unconscious or dead; the dead man has had his case removed, the hand severed from his body. Outside, the woman enters the combination code on the briefcase, removes a container full of diamonds and vanishes without a trace as the next train passes.On board the bus in midair, Coulson is making small talk in the cockpit with May when she obliquely tells him to go away.
