Here is another Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.-themed Jumble. For detailed instructions for how to solve these puzzles, see the first Jumble. Again, the puzzle is to unscramble the four words and arrange them on the spaces. You then take the letters on spaces with circles and unscramble them to come up with the final answer, which will be a pun (i.e., not a trivia question). An example of the type of pun in the newspaper Jumble was:
This time, the four scrambled words are episode titles. Just to be sneaky, one of them is a two-word title. It is for you to figure out which one and to determine where the space goes. The final answer has a hyphen. Like the example above, it is actually a single word, but the pun lies in one part of the word. It is for you to determine if it comes before or after the hyphen. The lack of quotation marks below means that the pun does not involve a spelling change.
If you solve the puzzle and want to post the solution, please put your answers in spoiler tags so that other people can solve the puzzle.

Hint 1:
If I were to draw a cartoon for this Jumble, it might be a bit misleading. A line drawing of the most common variety of this fruit (at least in grocery stores around me) would look like a tomato. (Actually, if I drew the cartoon, I would be lucky if it looked like anything recognizable.)
Hint 2:
I have a headcanon that Jemma likes to, well, let's say "embellish" (e.g., her claim to have two PhDs by the age of 17). If this view were more widespread, I might have a cartoon in which she suggests that one of her ancestors popularized this fruit in the English-speaking world.
Hint 3:
Often, one can solve newspaper Jumbles by noticing a word that the clue pointedly avoids saying. This word is often in the final answer. In Hint 2, I pointedly avoided using a word that I would normally use. To realize this, you have to know that I am not fond of the tendency to refer to white male characters formally by their last name (except for Lincoln) while referring to female characters informally by their first name (except for May).
