Following the recent Agents of SHIELD finale, Chloe Bennet believes Daisy Johnson will head down a dark road as her character becomes more ruthless next season.

Warning: Spoilers for the latest season lie ahead! The final episode of the third season confirmed some fans' worst fear as the finale left one of the show’s main characters dead. While Daisy Johnson had learned of a flash-forward from a fellow Inhuman seemingly foretelling her own death, fans’ expectations were overturned when a different character was killed instead. Rather, Daisy’s boyfriend Lincoln Campbell (Luke Mitchell) sacrificed his life in Daisy’s place in order to bring down Hive (Brett Dalton).

According to Chloe Bennet, Lincoln’s death will have a profound effect on Daisy throughout the next season of Agents of SHIELD. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Chloe said that she believes the finale’s tragic turnout, “makes her more ruthless, being so close to what she thought was her own death. And then it happening in one of the worst scenarios she could ever think of, which is the person that she loved doing it for her, I think it changes her in a way where she probably will face life with even more ruthlessness.”

The last few moments of Season 3 seem to echo Chloe’s thoughts as the finale ended with a time-jump which showed that Daisy had gone rogue. Turned into a well-known fugitive labeled ‘Quake’ by the media, Daisy cut her ties with SHIELD, leaving a now-demoted Phil Coulson (Clark Gregg) and Alphonso “Mack” Mackenzie (Henry Simmons) to chase her down.

Chloe even discussed the finale's last moments by saying that, “there's a sense of sadness that was there that I tried to make apparent at the end of the episode.” Still grieving over a shocking loss, Daisy’s future appears uncertain in the face of show’s upcoming season as Agents of SHIELD becomes increasingly connected to the fallout left behind in Captain America: Civil War’s wake.

First cast as Daisy Johnson in December 2012, Chloe Bennet has grown close to her character as Daisy has fought Hydra, met aliens, and even found family in her team despite a traumatic childhood. So, when Agents of SHIELD returns to ABC this Fall, both Chloe and her fans will get to see where Daisy’s storyline takes her next.
