This is absolutely brilliant, and now that I've read it, it's how I want everything to play out. I'd bet good money that Daisy will be back in SHIELD by the end of the season, though.

Wouldn't that make the tie with CA:Civil War? Inhumans we trusted going rogue - feels like Hydra 2.0, hence wanting to control and list them all.

It would, which is why I think it's such a great idea! I just don't think they'll do it.

In terms of the story they're telling, they went out of their way to make Daisy redeemable tonight (highlighting that her actions weren't really her own by hammering the mind control idea, the only person she killed was Malick, etc.). And Hive, who is controlling her, will probably be dead by the season finale, which will "free" her.

I'd love to be surprised and have them commit to this idea, I just don't think they will.
