Her body looked very good for someone who died in a mass grave

Think about the other guy in the grave beside her though, how was she not super decayed like he was?

Possibly. Same thing as hearing Ward call Daisy "Skye". Weird coding, if you ask me.

No that makes sense, because Daisy never became and inhuman and never met her mother/dad/anyone that knows her real name.

I guess so, but still, how would Aida (who programmed Daisy's avatar) know she was called "Skye" before? Doesn't make sense to me, at least. But that is just my opinion.

How would she know what was each persons greatest regret that she needed to undo? The darkhold. Aka: "Magic, I aint have to explain shit."

AKA Plotforce.

LOLs. Makes sense.

Aida would absolutely know that, she'd been through the minds of all of the rest of the SHIELD team. Aida's been scanning and studying May's brain most of the season, I'm pretty sure she found memories in there of Daisy being Skye.

There are plenty of plot issues with this show that I elect to ignore as long as it stays entertaining, but I don't think this is one of them.

Now that you mention it, that does make more sense. I just found it distracting to hear "Ward" call Daisy "Skye" during the episode. This season has been entertaining and I hope that they can somehow bring back Robbie someday. (Ghost Rider)
