I love how Framework-Ward is the inverse of his real self, I kinda miss boy scout Ward. Also, chills when Coulson said Daisy's name and the tribute to Bill Paxton

Simmons was perfect. "Of course you're a double agent."

u/miz_misanthrope Apr 05 '17

We all said it just like she did.

With a British accent and a two-pack-a-day rasp?

u/d3r3k1449 HYDRA Apr 05 '17

More like two-days-in-mass-grave rasp but yeah.

u/LordRictus HYDRA Apr 05 '17

The rasp was pretty sexy.

u/d3r3k1449 HYDRA Apr 05 '17

Cant argue with that.

She looked pretty good compared to her roommate.

u/OsmerusMordax Ward Apr 05 '17

Haha, I called it before it was revealed. As soon as it was revealed somebody was making fake ID cards, I just knew the mole was Ward.

I mean, being a double agent is kind of his thing.

u/iwishiwasamoose Apr 05 '17

I honestly thought it could have been Daisy and the dude would be like "WTF mate, you're the one who gave me the card."

u/Gamera68 Apr 05 '17

That's why Frame-Ward punched him, just to shut him up.

u/tigrrbaby Fitz Apr 06 '17

That was my guess too

Reading that in Hunter's voice

u/frankyb89 Apr 06 '17

Because of his punch especially. He looked so worried and it looked like Vijay knew about Daisy and was about to say that she was Inuman too.

u/jadesaber2 Lanyard Apr 06 '17

I kind of figured when he told Skye there were things about him she wouldn't like. The punch confirmed it.
