'Agents Of SHIELD' Season 3: Can Daisy Shake Hive's Control? Chloe Bennet Teases Quake Unleashed [VIDEO]
Agents of SHIELD is under attack from one of its own...again.
Ever since HYDRA's coming out bash, Coulson's (Clark Gregg) team can't seem to avoid the stench of betrayal; it hangs around SHIELD like so much unwashed gym clothes. First it was Ward (Brett Dalton), then it was Mack (Henry Simmons) and Bobbi (Adrianne Palicki), and now...it's Daisy Johnson (Chloe Bennet).
For one shinning moment, the Secret Warriors were at the top of their game. As "The Team" played out, however, it was made abundantly clear that all was not well. Daisy fell under Hive's spell, and, as season 3 continues, it will be up to her family of coworkers to bring his plans to a thundering halt.
If you're confused as to how Hive managed to worm his way into Daisy's head, Bennet has the answers. And no, it's not because he bears the visage of one Grant Ward.
"It has nothing to do with him being Ward, it really has to do with the fact that she's under the influence of drugs," Bennet told Entertainment Weekly. "That's what the bosses told me when we were moving forward. They said, 'She is basically on a large amount of drugs and not under her control. She didn't take them, someone gave them to her.' She's basically been Inhuman-roofied, is how I like to describe it."
That's not to say the Daisy we know and love isn't still rattling around inside her mind.
"You see her getting really frustrated, because she obviously has run-ins with the team in the future, and crazy s- goes down, basically," Bennet explained. "You can see that there's an internal struggle happening, but Hive's power over her will always win."
So, what should fans expect from "Dark Daisy"? First off, prepare to see Daisy completely abandon all that control she has worked so hard to cultivated since her terrigenesis. With no rules or conscious to constrain her, Quake will let her powers run rampant.
"She really goes crazy moving forward with how brutal and unexpected and displaying new ways that she's powerful," Bennet told IGN. "We'll see more of that coming up, which was fun to do."
As for what the future holds for Hive's growing army, well, only Charles could predict what's next. Everyone else will just have to tune in Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET to find out more. Click the video below to see a preview for the series' next episode, "The Singularity."
