I felt like she was beginning to be suspicious when he brought up the drive during the NSA discussion with Koenig, because it's really not that relevant to the moment. She gave Ward a "huh" look. But she's torn, because he's the S.O. and her teammate.

Or, they wanted to save Ward from being killed by May.

He's got grampy's penchant for facial hair.

I think Ward tipped himself off to Skye there. She seemed suspicious of him after that. I wondered if she set him up.

I found Ward thoroughly creepy and he seems like a serial killer, and I felt like him kissing Skye when she was just comforting him was aggressive and a bit desperate. It made me really not want Skye to go with him.

And they already have shown dimension hopping with the guy who basically has Nightcrawler's powers earlier in the season.

I think they made a Department H reference in the Winter Soldier.

She got quite a hat tip from Fury to do that. I kind of hope Coulson doesn't remain Fury's boy.

Yeah, this is a very Whedony way to resolve Ward's little murder spree issue.

I think that would also help Ward out, because….PSYCHO!

Well…they were torturing and using an alien at the Guest House. And it was HYDRA facility (Garrett made a "Bob" the HYDRA Agent comment). And he did warn them that they were seeking medical attention and that he didn't want to return fire.

This crazy thought…are the nuns then, agency people? This seems like a geek joke. Mary Sue was a term developed in the late 70s by a trekkie about fan fiction writing.

I think she'll end up in the company of Raina, and that will result in her gift being activated.

Ward kissed her. I kind of felt like she felt something but it was making her uncomfortable, and it was awkward. It's like when you totally like a guy and then spend time with him and start to realize something is waaay off and you're like, "Hey, dude, let's take it slow…" and they've already got their crazy eyes…

And Skye.

Ms Marvel is too big for t.v., don't you think?

Yes, possible, M.A.A.N.! (More Acronyms Are Needed)

Exactly. And Blackout was a drooling idiot controlled by Moonstone. I'm not ruling that out here, either, as Acker is returning in the season finale and plays crazy really well.

You just have to trust Coulson.

Or, that was never the real Hand, and we'll finally get to meet her!
