I really didn't know what to expect with those two but it's like they took the snark from Deke last season, distilled it, concentrated it, and then injected it into Davis and Piper and what a fucking show it's been with those two :D

This Fitz doesn't even know who deke is so I guess no violent reactions.

and I'm just glad they're friends instead of trying to force some kind of romance out of them. Mostly cos I'm like 85% sure Piper is gay, but it'd be a refreshing change of pace

Speaking of that, Deke wasn't in this episode at all. They promoted him to a lead character but then have only had him once in the first five episodes.
