Skye transformed into the Inhuman Daisy Johnson a.k.a. Quake. Ward died until an Inhuman slug resurrected his body. So, of course, this would be the best time to start shipping SkyeWard again on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"They're both altered humans at this point. I don't know. I feel like the chances are greater than ever," executive producer Jed Whedon told Entertainment Weekly.
Ward (Brett Dalton) seemed to ruin any chance of having a relationship with Daisy, formerly Skye (Chloe Bennett), when he revealed himself as a covert Hydra agent in season one. The ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. agent then took over Hydra operations and spent the first half of this season seeking vengeance for the death of his girlfriend, Kara (Maya Stojan).
He has showed no sign of wanting redemption even when it comes to the woman who best understood his pain.
"While he's done terrible things, you have to want to be forgiven to be forgiven," Whedon said. "I don't know if that's something he wants. By the same token, our team, their hands are dirtier than they've ever been."
How much of Ward's memories still exist remains to be seen since that slug creature crawled its way into his head, but there still may be a chance for Daisy to reach him one last time, if she even wants to at this point.
"We know that Will's memories lived on, so some of that could carry. As I'm sure you have guessed, it's going to get complicated. Spoiler alert, it's going to get complicated," Whedon said.
"Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." is set to return on Tuesday, March 8 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
