As everyone decides what to do about Lash, many characters have to examine their own feelings about what constitutes a “monster” in this week’s episode, Chaos Theory. Is May headed back down a path of darkness and guilt? Is Daisy starting to agree with Rosalind even as the ATCU chief reveals (possibly) her duplicitous side?
Join us for show news, episode analysis, Faith’s CoulSass moments, and our listener feedback segment! This week we talk about Fitz’s response to Simmons’ admissions, Bobbi’s warning about Hunter’s vengefulness, Rosalind’s convincing response to Daisy’s argument, Andrew’s lack of control over Lash’s actions, and much more!

SHOW NOTES:
Taltos’ Addition of the SWORD Emblem
I can see why Daisy would get involved with Andrew, but it feels like May’s place to decide and I can see her sending him to Rosalind especially if they still think she’s being honest about her objective. I hope Rosalind’s playing double agent. Again I love the point-counterpoint discussions on the show. I hope Lincoln doesn’t lose his pension for questioning S.H.I.E.L.D. because he’s going to be boring playing puppy dog to Daisy; I hope he turns against them, Daisy included, like some have theorized. I don’t know if I’d classify Andrew as one of the group; yes he works with them but it’s not the same as Simmons or Mack or someone being Inhuman along with Daisy. It’s neat he’s Lash, but I wouldn’t say it really fit the tease.
Jealous Fitz is nothing new so I’m not surprised by his actions sadly; again this is not a good for his character or Simmons’ I feel. I understand he’s upset, but his childish behavior doesn’t sit well with me really. Again Jemma only talking to Fitz in her videos is out of character. I vote for “poor version of therapist” for the CoulSass poll.
I meant I hope Rosalind is a double agent in the sense she’s working with Hydra to gain intel, but really she’s a good guy. How is Lincoln the only transitioner? I must have missed some reveal because there are others with powers pre-fish oil and others who had their powers during Afterlife so I don’t buy that as his reason for wanting Lincoln; it seemed Andrew/Lash deemed him too dangerous, thus unworthy, so he wants to take him out. I disagree that Simmons has been bad at communicating how she feels, she’s made it clear in previous seasons she loves Fitz as a brother which is why her actions this season feel out of character.
All valid points, Aaron. I also seem to remember other transitioners (or the suggestion of others) since Jiaying transitioned Gordon. In retrospect, I just think Lash was after Lincoln because he considers him dangerous like you said. Thanks for your comments!
