mentioning how Emily pulled out her own stitches in her sleep at the end of the review made me realize that was probably the first blackout, it kinda retroactively makes me feel the blackouts were a tad better integrated… not really. I still loved the episode though. i agree, Emily playing a status-digger is genius

In that very scene, when they entered the room he was thrown at a tray with medical tools first, then to the bed.

Coulson was thrown at a tray with medical tools, he picked the tweezers up from there.
