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.
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?
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.
I suspect collusion. Jaiying couldn't wait to get Cal out of her hair, then all of a sudden they're making plans, and they were giving each other looks of "we're on the same page" before he's taken away.
edit: I hadn't thought he might have juiced up. They were hanging a lampshade on the fact he takes some sort of formula and the mostly empty vials.
Both Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter have been renewed!!
