Now that you've pointed it out, it is a bit obvious. See Zoe telling Wash she wanted to see the baby they'd produce.
Saffron: You just had a better hand of cards this time. Mal: It ain't a hand of cards. It's called a life.

I almost feel bad for Raina: she was right! But she'd poisoned the well so thoroughly that it was wasted effort to try to do anything about it.
Right? She just never comes across as sincere, and she's got no other argument to make if people don't believe her about the visions.
ETA I was gonna be really impressed if the recent news about the spinoff was an elaborate takeout and Ward just killed Bobbi right then.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I did not expect that from Jiaying. So that was a HS moment.
I didn't trust her from the start, but I didn't expect her to straight-up kill a dude.

Also, she killed him and committed to a war with SHIELD after giving Cal over to them as a prisoner. Stone cold.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
And I'm pretty sure Cal has his own role to play. I presume he took his serum with him, is that what that was?

Yeah, I think Cal is just where they want him to be.

Definitely. I can't see Cal going easily, if it wasn't part of the plan.
I need to rewatch; there's lots of subtle, little things I missed that I'm discovering as you guys dissect the episode. My roommate usually gets up for the day just before AoS starts and she wants to talk to me until she leaves for work. I like catching up with her, but I'm like...but it's Agents! I wanna watch! I would have bought the season through Amazon, anyhow, but I'm even more grateful, now, that I did.

Well, he did offer to do so in that scene with just the two of them, and stated protecting Skye his family as his reason. So he at least made the suggestion without any longer-term mayhem in mind, though Jaiying did have a "JUST AS PLANNED!" look on her face while she was protesting that she couldn't possibly ask such a thing of him.

I have the sense, although I don't really have any basis for it, that that conversation got into more detail as to exactly what her plan/goal is and how Cal being held by SHIELD can help.

The bottles that they confiscated on the plane were empty, or mostly empty. I think what we have is a Trojan Cal, ready to go all rage monster.
