And I'm starting to root for Skye's dad.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Enver's a cop in NY in this universe.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Glad to see that Ward is working through his issues. Also glad to see that Ward is irredeemably evil.

Do we think someone is brainwashed based on how much it was brought up last night? Simmons or Bobbi maybe?

I have dire suspicions about Simmons. I was half expecting to see it was her being offered the second chance.
I can't wait for Skye's dad to find out Ward was fooling around with his daughter. And I bet Whitehall is going to get his hands on Skye, inspiring both her dad and Coulson to mayhem,
I'm guessing Zach isn't aware of Coulson's reputation as a badass if he's worried about the violence.

I do hope they get Dichen Lachman back for flashbacks because otherwise that was a waste of a great actress.
Nice twist regarding Skye's dad's real motivations for working with Whitehall.

Right? Maybe there's no redemption arc after all, and the show's decided to just let us follow a villain now. Should be fun.

My guess is Skye will have the same immunity as her mother and Whitehall will find out and want to use her for it and her dad and Ward will have to team up to save her. I was kind of disappointed they killed Ward's parents off screen. After hearing about how evil the mother was I wanted to see them interact.

Oooo, being rescued by two people she considers monsters. Interesting.
edit: Was Dad able to pick up the obelisk? I don't remember.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
There are still a big swath of people who believe Ward has a separate plan that's... maybe, pro-SHIELD? Which I don't buy. I mean, at this point, I think any interpretation of Ward as "a good guy buried under all the emotional trauma" has sailed. There is no coming back from the kind of shit he pulled. And I enjoy him so much more as a villain anyway.
If he is to have any change of heart/moments of atonement, I think it'll have to be right before they kill him off. Given how obsessed he is with Skye, I can sort of see him doing that to save her. I find his obsession with Skye uber-creepy, but there are a ton of people out there who ship these two. Which makes my brain go screeeeeeccchh, but I guess that is rather hypocritical since I used to ship Spike/Buffy pretty hard back in the day.
Those time-lapse shots of Reinhart/Whitehall in his cell were very cool. This stood out, because AoS is usually not a very visually inventive show. And anything and everything to do with Crazy Kyle MacLaughlan made me chortle with joy -- he is such a delightfully loose cannon. They've lucked out with some awesome recurring guest stars this season.

"What are we talking about? Tesseract-level power?"
"Sure. I don't know what that is."

Oh snap that makes perfect sense.
