Nah. She’s nothing without Greg.

True. Bomb expert guy could have realized “two guards is too easy” and noticed the C4 all over and found the timer just as quickly. They’d still be in a hurry and the knocked out guys could slowly wake up and run.

Plus the dying guy recognized Coulson and told him about the timer, which kinda shows he’s a good guy, once he was able to confirm Coulson was in fact Shield.

That’s a cruel thing to do.

Re-opens old wounds and lessens my ability to deal with crummy writing.

Thanks.

> Random speculation–maybe Skye is responsible for the team doing whatever it takes to save her? Apparently most of a village and multiple agents died “protecting” her as a baby. Maybe she’s got some kind of latent ability to make nearby people want to protect her, and the ability went into overdrive while she’s nearly dying?

Hmm…could she maybe then be related to Lorelei (I’m not familiar with that character at all, except for the “makes men do what she wants” thing that we’ve seen)? And maybe Lorelei is back for Skye?

The only problem with that theory is I don’t think we’re going to find out about Skye so quickly. She’s a season finale mystery I bet.

Oooh, but then we can have a moment where Lorelei sees something in Skye but won’t reveal it before she gets shipped back to Asgard by Sif.

I have a feeling that this episode is going to be a standalone one with Lorelei. Of course, Lorelei will become an ongoing character, I don’t know. But, in terms of the show’s mysteries it is standalone. I would guess any Skye revelations will be held for a future episode, or a shocking reveal at the end of this episode.

Who played the newlywed husband at the end? He seemed familiar.

And who plays Lorelai?

> To me it was quite obvious that Garret will show up later as either the Clairvoyant or its right hand (either way, the face of the enemy). He appears to take Quinn, but stays to help Coulson find the secret base, with no reason whatsoever that compelled him to disobey his orders (Coulson just said pretty please).

Interesting possibility. And maybe Garrett is not a voluntary bad guy. He might be part of the eyeball corps. We’ve seen they had at least one other SHIELD agent and they now have Mike Peterson.

And maybe they had another SHIELD agent who was able to escape their control and is now trying to bring the Clairvoyant to justice. Here’s a hint: who wears an eyepatch to cover up a missing eye?

Who was given a new identity and now works for the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit. The connections go deeper than we suspected.

Was it [Robert Belushi?](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0069699/?ref_=ttfc_fc_cl_t10) Playing the husband. Not Lorelei. That’s [Elena Satine.](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2180812/?ref_=tt_cl_t6)
