After the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director rescued Fitz (Iain De Caestrcker) and Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) from the middle of the ocean, Nick showed up to help Coulson take Garrett down. After Garrett jumped in the machine that fully turned him into the new Deathlok, Coulson quickly obliterated him with the laser from "0-8-4.," and Ward (Brett Dalton) was then arrested. [...] it wouldn't be a Marvel-esque finale without a few tag scenes that raise new mysteries for Season 2, including the newly named S.H.I.E.L.D. director Coulson mindlessly carving the mysterious alien equation on a wall and Raina (Ruth Negga) telling a man with silver hair (and burned and apparently dripping skin?) that she found his daughter, handing him a picture of Skye. Is rebuilding the goal of the series now? Right now, there is no S.H.I.E.L.D. They're viewed as a terrorist organization around the world, so I think there's a long route to go. When S.H.I.E.L.D. was first picked up to series, the big question was how Coulson was alive, but throughout the series that shifted to why. Was the plan always ultimately to say that he's an Avenger? Loeb: I have to give credit to the extraordinary synergy that we have with the movie studio. Wrapping up the Deathlok arc for Mike Peterson and having him wander the earth like Cain, Skye looking for where she came from and those breadcrumbs are still out there. There were so many other ways to create pain, sorrow and conflict. The Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) has done things that are far more heinous than anything Grant Ward has ever done as far as we know, and yet, at the end of the movie, you're rooting for him to come back on the side of the angels. There's a tradition in the Marvel Universe of our villains turning out to be heroes at the end of the day. Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch started out as villains and became Avengers on the publishing side. There's also the fun of sometimes your heroes team up with the villain to go after something that's even worse, so there's a lot of story left in Grant Ward, including the ongoing question, which is: The fact that we're having that conversation, though, is so fascinating to us because Ward was certainly one of those characters that at the beginning of the season people never would've guessed this is where we were going to go at the end of the season. Crime and Punishment began with a person going out and consciously becoming a cold-blooded murderer and it took 800 pages and an epilogue before the person finally asked for forgiveness. Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones did terrible things and now I feel so bad for him because his sister won't kiss him. Coulson promised to torture Ward, so will you explore that fine line between justice and vengeance? What came with the decision not to show Fitz when the team reunited in that final scene? [Laughs] We wanted to leave something there for the audience to speculate in terms of where we're going to go. The fun of what Jeff, Jed [Whedon] and Maurissa [Tancharoen] created in the season finale is that there are some things that are very neatly tied up and there are some things that are left open, so we'll start the next season with a bang and answer some questions and open more doors and windows. Let's talk about this mysterious figure that is apparently Skye's father. When everything is revealed, it will be a tremendous surprise, but at the same time, everyone will go, "Oh, that's the coolest thing ever." What we may have learned is that our audience likes to be surprised and our audiences likes when our characters are in real full-blown jeopardy.
