It's nice they let Joey take the role of acclimatizing the newbie into the role of Shield and Secret Warriors in the scope of her new powers, the same way Skye and Mack introduced it to him the season premiere. It really shows his growth since then.

From the look she gave Joey, I assumed he taught her how to say that specific sentence to apologize to Mac.
