Agreed.

I think the showrunners teased he might be back.

The whole b-plot with Ward was to get May off the base, because she would never have let Coulson go under the machine. So, it wasn't much of a plot to begin with.

Yes, I love Skye, as always, despite people moaning about her having to carry the exposition this week.

Or May's. He was alone with her in Face My Enemy. You have no idea what happened prior to her waking up.

What about May? Bakshi was alone with her for awhile. And that would flip everyone out, because May's always portrayed as the most dangerous specialist.

Serial killer dude said it started with carving and then escalated.

Absolutely. More likely he's a "gifted" or someone who has been genetically tampered with. Still thinking about the ZODIAC connection and Skye being Mantis.

That's really mean. What if they implanted memories to just make her think she liked Enya?

Totally an elaborate ruse to let Bakshi trigger someone's programming. Ward just wants Skye and to kill people.

Hunter. Ward already teased it. Bobbi got a passing grade. Hunter did not.

The writer here is not one of the series regulars. I felt the characters sounded off.

You have!

Me too. He also used a kid and his mom as a human shield this week. So…

I doubt he's Maximus or we'll see the city (I think they'll save the Attilan reveal for the Inhumans movie). They'll cast everyone young and sexy for that (it's Marvel, after all).

Maybe a Sentry. Coulson could still have the alien's consciousness and/or cosmic awareness. And it's not like all his memories are restored or that the GH-325 went away. But for now it seems the emphasis is on Skye again and her possible connection to this city.

Bakshi was alone with May for awhile, we don't know how long really, and she was unconscious. It's the second time we've seen him in contact with May, makes me wonder if it's foreshadowing and May turning would be extremely dangerous.

I feel for him, don't get me wrong. And that is a good point, it's not just Simmons treating him this way.

I think Coulson gave her an undercover assignment because she couldn't handle it. So, she couldn't tell Fitz about it. She didn't tell anyone, Skye and Trip made comments previously that she abandoned them. It's kind of mirrored in the Bobbi/Hunter conversation this episode. They're spies. They do that for a…

How more explicit can it be than he told her he loved her, she didn't return his feelings, and then his subconscious conjures of an image of her for him to have around anyway when she leaves? And when we first see them together, before he reveals he knows she's not real, we see him being very agitated and unkind to…
