Also, she killed him and committed to a war with SHIELD after giving Cal over to them as a prisoner. Stone cold.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

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 am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
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.

Ahaaaaaaa yes that makes sense.

I *really* loved Kyle MacLachlan's performance in this episode. He's been such a great addition to the show.

He really has!! I enjoy him quite a bit. I'm...I'm kind of on his side at times? Like, he's actually like Ward in the sense that he's fully aware of himself (okay, maybe a little more deluded than Ward); he is, at least, honest and open. I loved how he acknowledged that he hated Coulson the most but he couldn't deny that he cared about Skye and would do good by her.
