Together or Not At All - S5-E7
Continuity mistake: When Faulnak hands the gun to Kasius at The End of their firearms conversation, he turns it around so that he's offering the grip. In the next shot, he's holding it by the grip and offering the barrel instead. (00:16:35)
Chosen answer: Coulson believes he was resuscitated then sent to Tahiti to recuperate. "A magical place," he calls it. But in the "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "The Magical Place", Coulson, through a mind-reading machine, learns that he was treated by S.H.I.E.L.D. and a fake memory of Tahiti was placed as a "mask" of sorts over the painful memory of the operation, which involved a drug seemingly of alien origin to repair the damage, coupled with a lot of morally dubious surgery.
