The Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Season 2 finale didn't hold back. The synopsis for "S.O.S." mentioned sacrifices, and both the Inhumans and SHIELD suffered losses and/or injuries. In case you need a refresher after the action-packed two hours: Cal embraced his Mr. Hyde comic book personality, Raina was killed, Coulson lost an arm, Ward became even angrier, Terrigen Mist was released into the general population, and oh yeah, the Kree stone captured Jemma. The Inhumans and SHIELD are aligned for the moment, and that means a world of new possibilities are ahead. We spoke with executive producer Jeffrey Bell about Skye's new Inhuman team, what Ward has up his sleeve, Coulson's missing hand, and more.Well, Daisy Johnson certainly has a big part in Secret Warriors and having a team like that. If you'll notice, Coulson says right now she is the only person in what might be this new outfit. But you know, the idea of a team of powered people is something we've seen in the show, and I think there's a world down the road where we do our version. We do our version of all these things so they may not be Secret Warriors but there's a whole lot of super-powered people fighting super-powered people. That's not really what we do or what we can even do on a weekly series. But tipping our hats to that direction I think is something we're suggesting there in the new season.Ward has been a lot of fun. He's gone through several changes over the course of last two seasons – going from boy scout, to Hydra foot soldier who's loyal to people above him, to someone who's been off on his own, and coming to a place where he's at peace with himself. But after these events at the end of these last two episodes -- finally he has a personal vendetta against Coulson and his team in a way he didn't before because he can now point to them as the reason, whether rightly or wrongly, that he killed the woman he loved. By saying he wants to get closure – and we've seen what that's meant in the past -- I think in many ways that means he's going to be a much more terrifying person.We think there's a lot of fun to be had with both the emotional fallout of losing your right hand or left hand – losing a hand – as well as [what] we do within the Marvel universe. What does it mean to get a replacement hand? Coulson has never been a specialist soldier. I mean, he fights well, he shoots well, but he's never been, you know, "I now want a magic hand." But he is in the Marvel Universe so we can have a lot of fun stories exploring what that means both psychologically as well as physically.Right or [get] like a special fountain tip index finger so he can sign papers. Or is it something cooler than that.We all loved Kyle and Cal so much and felt like everything he did came from the right place but that he was just a really horrible, broken man. The idea of being able to use the TAHITI program to reset him as the good person that has always been in there was too good to pass up. I think emotionally, for Skye, it's also in many ways more painful because, yes, he lives and he gets a full life, but he has no idea who she is, or that he has a daughter, or any of those things. For us, there's a both real beauty to it as well as a sadness to it. We like that. We like when things are both -- I don't if you know -- we like to try to make people happy and make people sad at the same time as often as possible.Without getting too specific about next season, the fact that we end the episode on the promise of this stuff out there kind of tips us a little bit in the direction where we may be going next year. The fact that there's this stuff out there to me suggests it's a problem.Poor Jemma and Fitz!As you go down your list, you're always looking at what would generate the most story and what would tell interesting, compelling stories. And her character has changed so much in the course of a year. With Fitz, in just in a more obvious way with the head trauma and PTSD with what happened to him, but we did see her go through a lot of changes as well. They've each kind of become their own -- in the first season we referred to them as FitzSimmons, one word almost as if they were two halves of the same person. This season we've split them into two whole people. They went their separate ways, and now that just as they were coming back together, it just seemed like there was an opportunity to twist that story a little bit.And now that she's dead -- [laughs] no, I'm just kidding -- or lost somewhere. Who knows what happened to her? But it seemed like too good of an opportunity not to explore. We love Elizabeth as an actress, and we look forward to seeing what happens to her and how she deals with it.
